Few games in the Final Fantasy series have maintained the kind of long-term fan demand surrounding Final Fantasy 9, including this new upcoming special edition collection. Originally released in 2000, Final Fantasy 9 arrived as a return to the series' classic fantasy roots after several increasingly modern settings, and its cast, world, and visual style have helped it remain a favorite among longtime fans. More than two decades later, the title continues to attract attention whenever Square Enix revisits its older Final Fantasy games.
That demand has been particularly noticeable whenever the possibility of a Final Fantasy 9 remake or remaster comes up. While Square Enix has never officially announced such a project, rumors and reports surrounding a potential remake have kept Final Fantasy 9 in the conversation for years. The continued interest also gives Square Enix plenty of opportunities to revisit the game through merchandise, especially with recognizable characters like Zidane, Vivi, Garnet, and Beatrix still holding a special place among Final Fantasy fans.
As a continued celebration of its 25th anniversary, Final Fantasy 10 fans have a new release coming in November 2026.
Square Enix is now giving Final Fantasy 9 fans another way to celebrate...
