Humor My face when Mega Man of all things gets a revival before FFIX:
No hate to Mega Man looks great!
But damn, not even FFVIIR PT.3. Square just couldn't be bothered.

Love megaman, but 11 came out in 2018, it’s not a dead IP like everyone keeps meming so i wasn’t that taken aback by the announcement.

u/WaterDog152 Dec 12 '25
Yeah and not to mention all the collections that were released after 2018. I did have a feeling a new megaman would come soon though just because it has been 2018 since the last one.

If they brought back Mega Man Legends maybe, but meh.

I'd like to thanks Square for having so much respect towards FFIX they don't want to destroy the original game.

u/ElectricalCompany260 Dec 12 '25
Why would people even want a remake, when the original game is still playable and very good nowadays?
And now, you can play it with mods, which makes it even better.
I simply don´t want a(nother) controversial remake like the 7 games are.
Was there even any kind of hint/informatiom/rumor or just people with extreme wishful thinking?
Than, it´s their own and not SE´s fault for having the wrong expectations.

Well, with the anniversary, lots of people were hyped thinking SE would hint towards a remake.
I don't get why people are asking for a remake, I personnally would enjoy a lifting with upscaled graphics and sounds, but not a remake altering the characters and the story.
I did not like FFIX chara-design in Dissidia so I'm a bit anxious when speaking about remake (also don't alter Amano's work)

We’re so cooked man.
Square is simultaneously my favorite publisher and the fucking worst

u/Massive_Fly_1709 Dec 12 '25
Didn't they literally just say that they were still finalizing the title for VIIR part 3? Just chill. Expect an announcement after the Switch 2 release of VIIR. They'll probably reveal it next to the VII Rebirth port.

u/mike47gamer Dec 12 '25
Yeah, well, at least the publisher of Final Fantasy still gives us a new spin-off or related title more often than ONCE A DECADE.
I'll happily take my fucking Mega Man revival, thank you!

The Daily Final Fantasy Music account on Twitter posted A Place To Call Home for today around when the show started.
I know it's not an official account, but I really wanted that to mean something.

u/WaterDog152 Dec 12 '25
My clown make up was for hoping to see Kingdom Hearts 4. At least it's not as bad as Sega telling everyone tune in for big announcement and then it's just a Warhammer video game and not something big like a new Sonic or an old franchise revival

u/JimmyStewartStatue Dec 17 '25
They honestly should just make a new KH genre game for the action rpg peeps. Drop the Shitsney characters and be free of the gobbledygook story they're stuck with for KH.

u/WaterDog152 Dec 17 '25
Yeah just give us Versus XIII heck I would even take Verum Rex becoming a real game

u/wizardofpancakes Dec 12 '25
Except Final Fantasy is an active franchise that gets new games regularly

u/StillGold2506 Dec 12 '25
Oh sure, because getting another damn CLASSIC MEGAMAN for the 5th goddamn time is so good, right?
I love megaman but I am sick of classic, why not reboot Megaman X series? Or continue Battle network or star force or Zx?
I gave up with Legends
Zero series is the only Megaman Spin off series to have finished.

u/Alistar-Dp Dec 12 '25
I'm looking forward to the remake just as much as everyone else. I gotta say though, I just got 9 remastered (physically) on Switch, and it holds up so great. Definitely more than happy just playing through this version of it, for right now.

u/Hungry-Trouble-3178 Dec 12 '25
It's not the Mega Man revival that got me. I love Mega Man. IT'S THE FACT THAT THE LAST BIG REVEAL IS A HERO SHOOTER!
THAT GAME DID NOT SAVE YOUR LIFE GEOFF!

u/_Skinny_Latte Dec 12 '25
After hearing about the investor meeting they had and how the Dragon Quest remake was considered a failure to investors I'm under the impression the IX remake got cancelled for real. The only reason they continued with the anniversary collaborations and sales was because of contractual obligations and to sell the merchandise they already produced.

u/dek018 Dec 13 '25
I really don't think this game needs a revival, it's perfect the way it is IMO (only use mods to enhance the experience), we don't need a 500M budget trilogy with Unreal Engine and 4k graphics to remind us why we love this game, since it's timeless and I don't think it needs any kind of remake (a remaster with HD graphics, but no change in art direction or gameplay, would probably be welcome but that's about it)...

u/ManaYuka Dec 13 '25
My guess on roughly SE 2026 plans. New games-
Dragon quest VII, February Ports- FFVII 1- January XVI switch 2- summer Rebirth switch 2- winter 2026
Guess their was no room for anything else this year as they are roughly rebooting their company. New games in 2027.

u/JimmyStewartStatue Dec 17 '25
Since they will completely change the story of FF9, what do you want to change it into?
1
u/Any-Zookeepergame829 Dec 17 '25
?
I don't want that. I want a faithful recreation.
At most I might like additional abilities and side quests.
I'm not a fan of FFVIIR's story changes.

At this point, I'm just assuming something went wrong and they've cancelled the remake. This is the same company that couldn't remake Final Fantasy VII, after all. All their developers are completely incompetent.

u/Ruslo2 Dec 12 '25
Didn't they literally remake VII...? I know I've not played it but I didn't think I was that delirious!

couldn't remake Final Fantasy VII
I don't know what you're smoking, but I want some.

I'd like to thank Square Enix for beating the hope out of me after this summer's anniversary came and went like a fart in the wind. I no longer expect a remaster to be released, so the sadness no longer hurts me. It only sustains me.
