Given that saving the game is especially important in a game as long as Final Fantasy 9, Square Enix decided it wasn't in a playable state. In an explanation shared online, Square Enix says that Final Fantasy 9's Amazon App Store version didn't allow players to save their game through cloud saving. And also why Square Enix has now pulled Final Fantasy 9 from the Amazon App Store as it fixes those issues. But that hopefully provides context for why Final Fantasy 9 launched on the Amazon App Store with significant technical issues. Even if it's been updated relatively recently for mobile platforms, it's not like a modernized remake has been released. Given its age, it's perhaps understandable that Final Fantasy 9 doesn't run perfectly on every system it's released on.

Square Enix has still done its due diligence in keeping Final Fantasy 9 available, though. Since then, Final Fantasy 9 has built a cult following but has fallen in the shadow of the more popular Final Fantasy games released before and after it. Even the situation with the Amazon App Store isn't permanent, as Square Enix plans to return Final Fantasy 9 to the storefront in time.įinal Fantasy 9 was originally released in 2000, the last Final Fantasy game released on the original PlayStation console. All other versions of Final Fantasy 9 remain available and there's no indication that's going to change anytime soon. Specifically, Final Fantasy 9 has been removed from the Amazon App Store. Square Enix has delisted Final Fantasy 9, but before Final Fantasy fans panic it's only in a very limited capacity.
