Huh, crazy. A remaster would be neat, I really enjoyed FF9.

Square just reported an underwhelming quarter, so I am not gonna be surprised if they announce a remaster/re-release of an old classic to milk their fan base.
Nothing wrong with that of course, but I get the impression it will be a cheap and rushed remaster, with simple upscaling and maybe some built in cheats; $40 please! ($60 with the pre-order bonuses).
That all said, if it does turn into a complete remake I am sure they will turn the story into a convoluted mess with alternate dimensions and time travel.

I would certainly buy ffIX again.

You’re far better off just using an emulator for FF9 than whatever the Epic Store is going to offer. Duckstation, pcsx2, retroarch, whatever. The original is still very playable.
Plus you can pretend the emulator is a good quality version of Epic Store if you really want to.

If it is a full remake, as suggested by both the Nvidia leak and these listings, we have no idea what it’s going to look like in comparison.
People that don’t like early 3D games with super low framerate and sluggish transitions are going to struggle with the original.

The .NET rebuild they did on steam is actually pretty solid IMO.
Especially if you mod it to use the AI upscale backgrounds

You can do that with any emulator, too.
