[QUOTE="Admin, post: 66754, member: 1"] [IMG]https://assets-prd.ignimgs.com/2025/03/31/ff9-1743417287934.png[/IMG] There is renewed excitement about the much-discussed [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/final-fantasy-ix']Final Fantasy 9 remake[/URL] after Square Enix launched an official Final Fantasy 9 25th Anniversary website. The [URL='https://jp.finalfantasy.com/ffix25th']website[/URL], which is in Japanese, notes the release date of Final Fantasy 9 (July 7, 2000) and points out the game celebrates its 25th anniversary this year. “We are preparing various projects, including merchandise and collaborations to commemorate the 25th anniversary, so please look forward to it!" the website continues. That rather innocuous statement, as well as the existence of the anniversary website itself, was enough to spark speculation that Square Enix may finally reveal the Final Fantasy 9 remake fans so desperately want. And the timing of the website’s launch is not lost on fans who point out Nintendo is set to hold a Switch 2-focused Direct this week, on April 2. Could Square Enix finally announce Final Fantasy 9 remake for Switch 2 at the Direct? Some fans are hoping so. Of course, this may all be nothing. The website itself mentioned merchandise and collaborations, but “various projects” has certainly set tongues wagging. Last year, Final Fantasy 14 producer Naoki 'Yoshi-P' Yoshida [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/yoshi-p-thinks-a-final-fantasy-9-remake-would-take-more-than-one-game']talked a bit about what a Final Fantasy 9 remake might look like[/URL], warning it may not all fit in one game. "Of course, I do know there are requests for Final Fantasy 9 to be made, but when you think about Final Fantasy 9, it’s a game with huge volume," Yoshi-P said. "When you think about all of that volume, I wonder if it’s possible to remake that as a single title. It’s a difficult one. It is a tough question." Yoshi-P seemed to suggest a potential Final Fantasy 9 remake could go the direction of Final Fantasy 7 Remake, which is in the middle of a planned trilogy. Earlier in 2024, [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/final-fantasy-9-remake-rumors-fuelled-by-final-fantasy-14-director-yoshi-p']Yoshi-P announced Final Fantasy 9-themed extras[/URL] for the Collector’s Edition and Digital Collector’s Edition of Final Fantasy 14 expansion [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/final-fantasy-xiv-online-dawntrail'][U]Dawntrail[/U][/URL], including Final Fantasy 9’s Ark summon as a Final Fantasy 14 mount and a wind-up Princess Garnet minion (Garnet, aka Dagger, is one of the main characters of Final Fantasy 9). If you pre-ordered Dawntrail, you got a wind-up Zidane minion. Zidane is the protagonist of Final Fantasy 9.
