It is hard to believe, but the acclaimed Final Fantasy IX is celebrating its 25th anniversary in July. It seems as though Square Enix has some big plans in store as the company has launched a special Final Fantasy IX 25th Anniversary news website. Gematsu reports that the Japanese company is preparing various projects, including goods and collaborations and here are the starting announcements:

Maybe now they finally announce the remake.
My fingers are firmly crossed!
My favorite Final Fantasy ever. Really hoping for a remake of some sort! Actually quoted Amarant in my high school graduation speech back in the day! :D
The best Final Fantasy. I love these characters all so much! Hoping we’ll get news on the potential remake from this
A picture book, eh? Let’s hope it doesn’t end with “Visit PlayOnline.com for the ending”.
Dang this comment got me good and brought back some painful memories :D
