25th Anniversary Teaser and New Artwork Unveiled

Square Enix is building excitement for the 25th anniversary of Final Fantasy IX, launching a commemorative video and fresh artwork. This move has further ignited fan theories that a remake is underway, despite no official confirmation from the company.

The developer shared the brief video on YouTube on July 3, featuring nostalgic scenes from the classic 2000 RPG. Additionally, Square Enix posted new anniversary illustrations by original character designer Toshiyuki Itahana across its social media channels.

Recent announcements also include a new prequel picture book delving into the origins of the beloved black mage Vivi, alongside other anniversary merchandise. The dedicated FF9 anniversary website continues to be updated, adding detailed profiles for characters like Freija, Quina, Eiko, and Salamander.

Domino's Pizza Joins the Remake Campaign
