Domino's pizza joins fans demanding Final Fantasy 9 anniversary remake
Square Enix is celebrating the 25th anniversary of Final Fantasy 9, but many fans aren't satisfied with the announcements. A remake of Final Fantasy 9 has been rumoured ever since the Nvidia leak in 2021, but it's still unclear whether the project is actually in development. Many fans held out hope for the role-player's 25th anniversary, which is today, as the perfect time for Square Enix to announce its existence. However, while the developer has marked the occasion with some fanfare, there's no sign of a remake. In a blog post for the anniversary, Square Enix revealed new pieces of artwork by character designer Toshiyuki Itahana, along with a short tribute video, but no remake. To further mark the occasion, Final Fantasy 9 is 70% off across Steam and the Nintendo eShop, at £4.79 and £5.09, respectively. An anniversary vinyl is also available to pre-order, featuring a mix of original tracks and newly recorded versions, along with a picture book centred around mage character Vivi Ornitier. If you take a peek below the announcement post however, the comments are littered with disgruntled fans clamouring for a remake. 'Can we all celebrate together with a remake?' wrote one commenter on X. Another added: 'Anything else you'd like to do to celebrate?' Over on Facebook, even the official account for Domino's Pizza has joined in the cries.

As to whether a remake is actually still in development, reliable insider NateTheHate recently claimed that it might've been cancelled, although he said he still needed to 'verify' the information. 'As of last check it remains in development, to my knowledge,' he wrote on ResetEra. 'But I need to do a fresh check and see what a more current status is – as I did hear a month or so ago that it was in trouble and possibly cancelled. I only had one source on the cancellation possibility and need to verify the info further.' It's never been clear if the original Nvidia leak was referring to a 'remake' on the scale of Final Fantasy 7 Remake or something closer to a remaster, but if it has been cancelled, that might suggest it was somewhat substantial. More Trending Last year, Square Enix announced it would be more 'selective' with its game projects moving forward. after cancelling several unannounced titles – so it's possible a Final Fantasy 9 remake was caught in the firing line. As for other games in the series, Square Enix is currently working on the follow-up to Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. Earlier this year, the studio announced it had finished writing the plot for the closing chapter of the trilogy, but no release date has been announced. The first game in the remake trilogy will be coming to Nintendo Switch 2 and Xbox Series X/S later this year, although neither version has a release date yet.

How is Ubisoft's EULA clause contradicting the 'Stop Killing Games' campaign?
Image via Ubisoft. The whole gaming world right now is divided into two parts following the feud regarding the 'Stop Killing Games' campaign. This is actually a consumer driven movement against the developers who delist their games out of nowhere. This actually affects a whole bunch of playerbase, who actually bought the game with real-money, but won't ever be able to play it as the game's server was actually made offline, with stopping all services. However, no one would have thought one of the biggest gaming companies would be against this movement. Ubisoft's EULA clause is why the 'Stop Killing Games' campaign exists The Ubisoft EULA is against the 'Stop Killing Games' campaign. | Image via Stop Killing Games. Amidst the clash between the 'Stop Killing Games' campaign and Pirate Software , fans have now found out Ubisoft is actually against the former. It has been discovered in Ubisoft's licence agreement that there is a claw which orders the owners to destroy the game if the developer chooses to end the service of that particular game. This clause in Ubisoft's end user license agreement (EULA) clearly states players are obliged to immediately uninstall the game and delete all the copies of the product which is in their possession if the specific game is being delisted. And this exact clause has stirred a huge controversy amidst the heat of the 'Stop Killing Games' campaign. This clause is exactly what the campaign is fighting against. SKG is fighting for the online preservation of the multiplayers games which suddenly stops its services, even after people purchase these games. The Ubisoft EULA is absolutely opposite to this, making people mandatory to dispose of all the possessions which they actually bought. Now the irony here is that Accursed Farms aka Ross Scott started this campaign after Ubisoft suddenly delisted The Crew in 2024. So, Ubisoft was the real reason behind this petition and now might be becoming the biggest reason people sign this petition, more and more. However, it's disappointing to note that such clauses aren't restricted to EULAs of Ubisoft only. It has been found out that EULAs of several games like Oblivion Remastered, Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Metaphor: ReFantazio, and many more contain that same clause, which prompts their users to destroy the ownerships of the games, if they ever get delisted by the developers.
