Rumors surrounding a potential Final Fantasy IX Remake have been circulating for years, and now Square Enix might be hinting that something is finally in the works—just in time for the game’s anniversary.
Is the Final Fantasy IX Remake Finally Happening?
Fueling speculation once again, Square Enix recently shared a cryptic post on its official X (formerly Twitter) account. The image included the iconic final line from the original PlayStation classic:
“My memories will be part of the sky…”
Accompanying the image was the brief but intriguing caption: “Who knows, knows.”

This vague teaser has reignited hope among fans that a remake could be on the horizon.
Insider Support for the Remake
Notably, industry insider NateTheHate has previously claimed that a Final Fantasy IX Remake is indeed in development. However, he noted that it likely won’t be released before 2026. Still, he suggested that an official announcement could arrive later this year—perhaps aligning with the 25th anniversary of the original game.
What to Expect
While Square Enix hasn’t confirmed anything yet, the post aligns with a pattern of teaser-driven announcements the company has used in the past. Given the overwhelming success of recent Final Fantasy remakes, including Final Fantasy VII Remake and Rebirth, it wouldn’t be surprising if FF9 is next in line.
Stay tuned as more information may be revealed in the coming months.
