Gamers might face crushing disappointment about their beloved Final Fantasy IX remake. Industry insider NateDrake shared troubling news on gaming forums about the project's future. The veteran leaker revealed that someone told him the remake faces serious problems. One source even claimed Square Enix canceled the entire project last month.
