Many users echo the problem in the platform's forums, although some hope that it will be solved soon.
Imagine that you are going to play Final Fantasy IX and discover that it does not start anymore. You uninstall it and download it again, with the particularity that it is not, you cannot download it again. That's the situation players have encountered when trying to play the Square Enix title. The Japanese company had released an update, but instead, all files have been erased, with the result that at the time of writing, the content is not accessible.
“A patch for the game has been released. I had the Memory engine and the Moguri Mod installed, ”says Xenogears, the user who has started the thread. "The game has stopped starting, so I have deleted the folder and cleared the Steam download cache." The result? The nothing. "The title is not downloaded, just the launcher," he explains.
The "patch notes" that demonstrate the deletion.
What the patch notes say
The thread continues with the patch notes, which confirms the suspicions: Final Fantasy IX has been completely erased. "Judging by the patch notes, they've eliminated the game," says Xenogears himself. Meanwhile, another user tries to reassure those affected. "Take it easy, guys. It is obvious that this is a mistake and that they will be fixed in a few minutes. Patience". Although since Square Enix they have not spoken, the game's record indicates that the developers are moving things at the moment, so it will be necessary to wait until they hit the key and manage to bring back the adventure starring Yitán.
Final Fantasy IX originally came out on PlayStation, but was later released on other platforms such as the PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 or Xbox One. All the classic games in the series are available on Steam. Final Fantasy VII Remake, the expected reimagining of the original PSX, will take longer, as it is currently a temporary exclusive to the Sony machine.
