Square Enix has launched an official website for the 25th anniversary of Final Fantasy 9, sparking excitement among fans and fueling speculation about a possible remake. The website notes that various projects, including merchandise and collaborations, are being prepared to commemorate the milestone.
Fans are particularly interested in whether Square Enix will use this opportunity to announce a remake for the Switch 2, which is set to be showcased at Nintendo’s Direct event on April 2. Naoki “Yoshi-P” Yoshida, producer of Final Fantasy 14, previously mentioned that a remake could take the form of a trilogy, similar to Final Fantasy 7 Remake.
Yoshida also hinted at a potential connection between Final Fantasy 9 and other Square Enix games, including a rumored animated series that was in development before its cancellation. While nothing has been officially confirmed, the website’s announcement sets the stage for Square Enix to make a major announcement about the long-awaited remake.
