The team behind Final Fantasy IX: Memoria Project, a fan remake of Final Fantasy 9 in Unreal Engine 5, has released a 25-minute gameplay video for it.
Final Fantasy IX: Memoria Project is a passion project led by a team of over 50 professional developers and artists in the video game industry. This fan project aims to reimagine what the legendary game could look like with modern graphical capabilities.
Do note that the team does not plan to release this demo to the public. In order words, you cannot run it on your PC systems. Still, the following video should make a lot of FF9 fans happy.
According to rumors, Square Enix may be working on a remake of FF9. However, we suggest tempering your expectations. This official remake will NOT look as good as what the Memoria Team has managed to achieve. From what we’ve heard, this official remake won’t have the budget or the scope of Final Fantasy 7 Remake. Instead, it sounds more similar to the remake of Final Fantasy Crisis Core.
Lastly, and speaking of Unreal Engine 5, I also suggest taking a look at these other fan remake projects. For instance, here are fan remasters of Dark Souls and Dark Souls 3. Then we have the Zelda: Ocarina of Time Fan Remake. Let’s also not forget this amazing fan remake of STALKER. And lastly, you can find fan remakes of Death Stranding, Fallout 4, ARK: Survival Ascended, Resident Evil’s Spencer Mansion and Skyrim’s Whiterun. All of them are cool, so make sure to watch them.
Enjoy!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

Very good artstyle , vibrant and has nice atmosphere . Its definitely made with passion ! Hope these devs try something original of their own just they need make interesting gameplay systems !
DMCA takedown notifications incoming. Iirc, Nintendo sent those to that Zelda remake. This is why we cant have nice things.
Lost all charm of the original due to the harsh lighting.
Don’t quit your day job.
It’ll never be playable, so what’s the point?
Too bad, cos I always thought that game looked bad, and their “remake” would have been great.
Square Enix should just hire these guys, cos it already looks good enough to be marketed. But we all know they won’t anyway.
