Final Fantasy 9 remains one of the most respected titles in the franchise. Rumors of a remake have circulated for years, fueled by industry whispers and fans wishes to see this classic reimagined. With the ongoing success of remakes like Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Square Enix has every reason to bring Final Fantasy 9 back to life. Yet, this remake would come with significant challenges, especially when it comes to capturing the spirit of the original without alienating its fanbase. One of the biggest challenges developers might face is how to handle Final Fantasy 9s notorious optional boss, Ozma, a fight etched into Final Fantasy history as one of the series most difficult encounters.
