Yeah I suppose so. I don't watch a lot of anime but I've seen some gundam and appleseed or whatever the mech shows and movies are, it doesn't really seem too inspired by that.
It was fun, though. Definitely recommend it if you can turn off your brain for a couple hours and just enjoy it. First 1/3 is tough though because J-Lo is unlikeable until her "emotional breakthrough" or whatever you want to call it.
I don't know about the plot, but the mechs remind me of mecha anime. All I know about the plot is some AI terrorist thing... which reminds me of a cyberpunk anime, Ghost in the Shell.
Not really a J-Lo fan (liked a few songs here and there), but I might add it to my Netflix list.
I really hope we don't get another action remake. Gonna be really disappointed if that's the case.
Honestly can't really see how FF9 needs a remake. The graphics are pretty stellar for being on the PS1. The pacing of the story was good; decent side content.
There are a few PS1 RPGs that could use a remake to fix or fill out the story which was compromised due to budget or time constraints (looking at you, Xenogears).
FF9 has a fan remaster in the works, the Echo-S mod (already mentioned above).

It just needs a proper official remaster like this, rather than a full remake. But if they are going the full remake route, then they should stay faithful and stick to turn-based combat. The point of FF9's original production was to go back to the series roots, so it wouldn't make any sense to suddenly make it an action RPG.
