Earlier this week saw French animation studio EuroVisual announce that its Final Fantasy IX animated television show had entered pre-production, and with funding and that all-important budget now behind it, the adaptation could begin its creation in earnest. After a rough start that saw its previous studio go into liquidation, EuroVisual was happy to pick it up, and now the Final Fantasy IX show, titled Black Mages Legacy, is seemingly in full swing.
However, what does this mean for the highly requested Final Fantasy IX remake? Well, it seems as though fans believe that the upcoming show could correspond with the launch of it, or at least an announcement from Square Enix itself.
At the time of writing, an official remake of Final Fantasy IX has not been announced. First released back in 2000 as the ninth main installment in the beloved Final Fantasy franchise, Final Fantasy IX was met with critical acclaim and commercial success, going on to welcome a re-release in 2010 and an enhanced port in 2016. However, Square Enix has yet to release a fully-fledged remake, and with the game celebrating its 26th anniversary this year, it definitely seems deserving of one....
