The gaming world was abuzz with excitement when rumors of a Final Fantasy 9 Remake began circulating, but it seems those hopes have been dashed. According to a recent comment from RPG Site editor Alex Donaldson, development on the remake has come to a grinding halt.

Despite being 'very far along', the project is said to be 'no longer moving forward', leaving many to wonder what led to its demise. The game was reportedly intended to be a single, self-contained entry, rather than a multi-part release like the ongoing Final Fantasy VII Remake.
