The ideas sound good but none of them seem realistic considering time constraints and budget

I messaged you on discord.

Is there anyway to do a mod like this? Id love to play the game like this.

I'm hoping Square Enix uses the action gameplay of the Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy for Final Fantasy IX Remake with aspects of Kingdom Hearts to make the combat more engaging. As much as it's a slap in the face to old fans it would bring in new consumers to the table to grow the franchise financially and make more cash. Other things they could do to make more money is making it multi platform day one, be 60$, and actually promote the hell out of it to get more eyes on it.

I really liked ATB, added some excitement and stress to a battle while keeping that turn-based RPG feel. I hope the remake keeps it around

I think FFIX remake will be the perfect game for old school fans and people who have never played FF before. as much as I love FFs experimentations and evolution over the years, it will be nice to get something thats a return to roots. I guess in the same way that OG FFIX served to be a return to form, so to will the remake. I think a modern turn based battle system should work to keep the level of strategy , but try to be more cinematic , and maybe make the menu navigating more organised. it can be quite stressful in turn based RPGs when you have to quickly scroll through a long menu to find an item or a spell . I wonder if they can make it a smoother experience.

great video. I go back and forth on my feelings about final fantasy IX. I think its a great game with loveable characters and art style, but for some reason I dont have the emotional tie with IX as I do with other final fantasy games. and I can't quite figure out why! I think maybe I prefer the worlds like FF8 or FF10, where you can't quite describe whether its fantasy or sci fi or a bit of both. I like the worlds with aesthetics that are bizarre. maybe the world of FF9 is a bit too typical for my taste, with it being more about wizards and knights etc. I also remember losing interest in the ending. it felt like they were trying to make Zidane go through the whole existential crisis I already saw cloud go through. the reason im most excited for FFIX remake is because I think I will probably like it more than I did the original. fingers crossed

Yes that's 1 of the many reasons I'll never play the FF7 remake that and part 2 of the FF7 remake is PS5 only and I still can't AFFORD one so a FF9 remake BETTER be PS4/Switch and NOT PS5 only.

Take my money!

I'm glad you're back making content, brother! I've missed your videos. I'm looking forward to seeing how SE innovates on the ATB system for this Remake/Remaster. Especially after seeing those Expedition 33 trailers!

Good ideas! As long as Trance is no longer random then that's a huge step forward lol. CC Reunion fixed the randomness in that battle system so I imagine Trance would be fixed here. I also loved what others said about having more team attacks as well as character switching in battle, it's a natural expansion to 9's battle system that makes sense.

No I like the action style

I love your suggestion, an expedition 33 like battle, with the proportions tamed to FFIX atyle would be perfect... fingers crossed

I think FF9 should be turn-based ATB and probably will be. I would see it as very good strategic move to do so for a couple of reasons. two of which being to appease all the passionate and die hard turn-based fans of the series and also to test the waters to see how a return to turn-based will be received in terms of sales and reception worldwide. Also for others who like to correlate BG3 success to it being turn-based. BG3 was not just successful because it was turn-based, it had multitude of reasons why it was successful outside of that. It could have been straight up party action game and would still have sold just as well and maybe even better.

Ilif remade like the rumors say it is, they better leave it turn based if only for the sake what 9 was developed as. A giant tribute to what their rpgs were. I honestly only played the final fantasy remakes only because I wanted to see the story, the gameplay made it a slog to me.

on pure principle it should be turn based but with the jank from the original fixed. like the speed and the vitality/spirit stats and regen etc. but TBH I wouldn't mind 7 remake's system being applied to everything ever. specifically remake's and not rebirth's though. rebirth got accelerated more and became kinda jank and mashy.

Absolutely turnbased. Don't worry about the casuals. Bring FF back

IX was my second game, but Vivi remains #1 in my top 3(Rikku and Vanille, if youre curious). VIII was my first but im also much more on board for an IX remake. The story particularly disc 4, could use a bit of fleshing out. However, i find myself torn between wanting turnbased to return for nostalgia reasons and wanting to see what they could make happen if that limit was removed. Like how in Dissidia, Zidane was a midair FIEND. With how Cloud, Yuffie, and Tifa work in Rebirth, theyve definitely shown they can make some good midair stuff, and Aeriths normal attack reminds me a bit of racket attack animations from IX. Id really like to see Vivi and Quina be able to combo like that, just as much as i want to see the good old turn based come back, and its sad because ill be so happy and sad at the same time. But then again, thats how the game made me feel when i played it the first time, so itll come full circle 😂

I hate action RPGs. I liked the original Final Fantasy games because they were turn based. Changing them to action RPGs might have broader public appeal, but it's a slap in the face to the old fans that liked playing an RPG because it wasn't another fucking shoot-em-up.

If it's going to be turn based why even remake it The OG is a classic 🤔 We really need a bit of news/footage at this stage

Yes! Mario Party game night lol

Reborn. One Winged Angel in part 1 was called "Rebirth" (foreshadowing the next title name perhaps?) And in part 2, it was called "Reborn" (mmm?)

The Gyrofelgo looks like a Shinra experiment reject. Like they just left that man with the bottom half of his body missing...

I need to play this game!

Perfectly said. You even mentioned the spirit and goals of FFVII and FFIX in the first place. VII being developed with a more cinematic, action, and movie-like approach while IX was an homage to classic old school FF. VII breaks tradition, looking to the future with brand new ideas while IX remembers the past and what makes FF great in general.

Something to add about Ever Crisis, at least since the time I played, I remember that IX crossover and since then Ever Crisis has NOT done any other crossovers with other FFs. You’d think maybe they’d pick a more recent game to crossover like XVI but they went with IX. They still do other crossovers with other franchises but I haven’t seen another FF. I dropped EC recently so maybe a current player can confirm this.

This one did show up in my feed! :)

Action-based combat, similar to FFVIIR would be infinitely better than turn based or ATB

Roll on FF9

I’ll be happy with action or turn based I actually have hope for ff action system after playing the 7 remake trilogy in honesty if remakes or new installments go action I hope they take a page from their book idec if it’s practically the same it keeps the better elements of old school ff combat system while keeping the era updated with new fighting style gameplay and bosses

Expedition 33 looks pretty awesome like we can reinvent turnbase

The trance system being uncontrollable is something I hope they keep

Like ff9 is perfect for synergy attacks they had combo moves with stiener and vivi

I feel like rebirth is like the perfect system

Mannnnnnn I forgot how slow the battle system was but I love it

Turn based is better, but I wouldn’t mind ATB

Hyped up

I wouldn't want it to be turn-based also. I'd be happy with ATB. I prefer your actions been based on a bar rather than waiting till other characters have taken their turn. I feel the same about the modern Parasite Eve 2 system the remakes use.

Putting QTE's in an Turn based System is indeed a good idea to simulate some dynamic. Yakuza did the same in its 7th and 8th Game were you also have QTE's to give Attacks more dmg or more hits. Overall has Yakuza a very interesting Battlesystem since there is also some sort of Tactical Element with its free movement during Battle and also with its Range attacks.

Glad to have you back man! A much needed break every now and then is good for the soul. Especially one with FF9 as your recharger!

If it's not turn-based then Squenix will never see another penny from me. It can be ATB, it can be FF10-like, it can be FF1-like, but if it is ANYTHING but turn-based I will respond w/ my wallet. I may be only 1 person but SE have received $1000's from my own hard work over the decades. Millions of us didn't play FF for the story alone, like so many pundits would like SE to believe. I'm so sick of them selling-out this franchise that I've adored since childhood.

There was so so so much more

I think adding some new mechanics and improved QOL features: 1. Battle and gameplay speed up, maybe adding a dynamic camera when a character attacks like Persona 5 and Expedition 33, and flashy slick animations 2. Maybe timed attack inputs that would increase your damage, like Final Fantasy VIII, Lost Odyssey, Super Mario RPG and ofc Expedition 3 etc, even characters moving around and positioning like FFX-2 would be cool. 3. Add more Team Attacks to other characters than just Steiner and Vivi. Like how we got Synergy in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth or better yet United Attacks in Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Future Reedemed and Dual/Triple techs from Chrono Trigger 4. Improved Trance. Outside of Trance being activated automatically for scripted story moment fights. When that bar is full during gameplay, you can obviously have the option to activate it, and maybe even save it if you didn’t use it next fight. Maybe even add some cool new abilities from Trance, like leveling it up based on profiency in your base kit, alongside getting them from equipments. 5. Have character switching if possible, on those who are reserve. Maybe like that still “pauses the battle and you get to choose who you want to switch out, so it can still work in ATB sense”.
