Naoki Yoshida wishes luck to those working on a Final Fantasy IX remake
In a recent interview with the JPGames portal during Gamescom, Final Fantasy XIV producer Naoki Yoshida wanted to clarify the issue related to the game's collaboration with the avatars of Zidane and Garneticonic characters from Final Fantasy IX. Yoshida assured that this collaboration is not related to the supposed remake of Final Fantasy IX that has been talked about in multiple rumors.
“We'd never thought about doing a collaboration with Final Fantasy IX in relation to some sort of Final Fantasy IX remake; we'd never thought about it in that business sense. Of course, it might make sense to think about it that way, but we've never done it. Final Fantasy IX has a huge volume, it's a big game. If we had to wait for some sort of remake to come out, we'd just wait and wait and think: “When can we incorporate that essence of Final Fantasy IX and pay homage to it?” So I think potentially if any team does embark on doing a Final Fantasy IX remake, I would wish them the best of luck (laughs)”the creative revealed in the recent interview.
