Jorge S Fernandez: "In many respects, Final Fantasy IX is the Wind Waker to Final Fantasy’s Zelda; though the game was conceived as a celebration of the series up to that point, the cutesier and more cartoonish visual style for FFIX did not sit entirely well with fans brought in by the more mature designs and futuristic backdrops that made up the two previous (and most popular) entries in the series. As a result, FFIX ended up as the lowest selling of the “Playstation Trilogy”, and it would be many years later when fans would develop a newfound appreciation, especially when weighed against the more divisive FF titles that would precede it."

The Black Mages' Legacy, the FFIX animated series set to release in 2028, has officially moved to "In Production" at EuroVisual Studios.

Get ready to hear the FFIX soundtrack like never before when the FINAL FANTASY IX - House Grooves album drops in March 2026.
we'll get anything but the game announcement
i wonder if they had to delay the game internally and all the other unnecessary dtuff they did had stiff deadlines.
not an excuse, Square is terrible with their own damn deadlines.
The FF9 remake was part of the Nvidia leak many moons ago. Not sure what happened since then but Square seems to excel at mucking things up.
I'm an avid House Head especially the genres of Tech,NY Hard,Tribal, Deep & Progressive House including the now sound of Techno with 125 to 132 BPM. I'm very curious to how this sounds.

The tracklist for the Midnight Jazz: FINAL FANTASY IX album and more merchandise have been revealed as part of the FFIX 25th anniversary.
