3D artist Fabian Denter has shared some GIFs and screenshots, showcasing what a modern remake of Final Fantasy 9 could look like in a modern-day engine. In order to create this scene, the artist used the Unity Engine, and the results are incredible.
The artist has recreated the street in Lindblum where the Tantalus headquarters are. Moreover, he was able to import Zidane’s model and give us a glimpse at its gameplay. This is all smoke and mirrors as there is only one scene and the player cannot interact with anything. Still, it can give us an idea of what such a remake could look like.
It’s also worth noting that Denter used Unity’s built-in pipeline, using mixed lighting (real-time direct and baked indirect lighting). This scene took him almost a year to create, so yeah… don’t expect to see more scenes.
Unfortunately, the artist has not released this project to the public, meaning that we can’t experience ourselves this tech demo. Still, I’m pretty sure that most FFIX fans will appreciate the following screenshots and GIFs.
Enjoy!

first!
I am not really into the whole isometric and top-down angle, even then holy shxt! It looks Amazing. A remaster like this for one of, if not the best FF game i.e IX would be Incredible.
Now I am here thinking on how cool if Resident Evil 2 & 3 were also remastered like this.
The overall looks good, but the texture still needs a lot of work in my opinion
I think it looks amazing. I don’t think the textures need work at all.
the internal resolution however would look even better in native 4k.
that and better picture compression in the uploads.
Fair but if an actual team was properly working on it it would look a lot better.
yeah, and i really like FFIX too. Squarenix is very lazy in their “remaster”. And the AI enhanced texture mod still looks like it applied filter on them. Need actual manpower to recreate the texture in HD, widescreen then it will be glorious.
The problem is that we will NEVER get good remasters from SquareEnix… These lazy bast*rds just want easy $$$ without working…
The last good FF game IMO, they have gone downhill consistently since FFVII.
The problem is, SquareEnix are nothing but a bunch of f*tards, lazy m*fker… They are not even able to do a decent remaster… The modding community is 100 x better than these greedy money wh*re…
The only thing that prevent Square Enix for doing remake like this is lazyness…
