FF9 Remake Speculation Soars with 25th Anniversary Project List
The 25th anniversary of Final Fantasy 9 is a momentous occasion, and Square Enix has launched a dedicated website to celebrate this milestone. This anniversary marks the game's initial release on July 7, 2000, for the PlayStation console, which sold over 8.9 million copies worldwide. Over the years, Final Fantasy 9 has seen various re-releases, including a remastered version for iOS and Android in February 2016, a PC port later that year, and subsequent releases on PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and Windows 10.
25th Anniversary Website Launched
Square Enix's 25th anniversary website for Final Fantasy 9 is packed with exciting news. They are "preparing various projects such as goods and collaborations to commemorate the 25th anniversary." Fans can look forward to a range of merchandise, including character figures, plushies, vinyl, CDs, story books, and more. The website promises more announcements as the anniversary approaches, keeping the excitement alive.
Possible Final Fantasy 9 Remake and Seemingly Forgotten Anime
The launch of the anniversary website has sparked rumors and speculation about a potential Final Fantasy 9 remake. Given the success of the Final Fantasy VII Remake and Rebirth, many fans are hopeful that FF9 might receive similar treatment. While the website does not confirm a remake, FF9's popularity—it was voted the 4th best Final Fantasy game in a 2019 NHK poll—makes it a strong candidate.
Another project that has fallen off the radar is the Final Fantasy IX: The Black Mages' Legacy anime series. Announced in 2021, this anime was set to follow the adventures of Vivi's six children a decade after the original game. Paris-based Cyber Group Studios, which had secured distribution and merchandise rights, was set to produce the series. However, the company filed for bankruptcy in October 2024 and entered judicial recovery. Despite this setback, potential buyers like United Smile and Newen Studios have shown interest in acquiring the rights and continuing the production of the FF9 anime series.
