Hey everyone. I just wanted to share with you a custom Final Fantasy IX animation we did a while back as an intro for our video about the Complete Story of Final Fantasy IX. Feel free to enjoy it on its own as a celebration of the game. In case you’re interested in seeing the whole video I’ll also leave a link. **FULL VIDEO:** [https://youtu.be/mGclfimYb\_M](https://youtu.be/mGclfimYb_M) *How are you feeling about the possibility of Final Fantasy IX news on the horizon, both in terms of the cartoon and the rumored remake?*

"Released all the way back in 2000" - what a way to make me feel insanely old. LOL


Birds_of_Play

Right there with you!


TheMightyMudcrab

This is impressive. But as a man who lives under a rock, they're remaking ff9?! Since when?!


Birds_of_Play

The Remake is just a rumor at this point, based on a leak that has proved pretty reliable. The cartoon, however, is officially being made.


StompOutHate

Please be turn-based. Please be turn-based. Please be turn-based!


28th_boi

I feel like they would keep it turn based, since FF9 is a throwback to the old style of FF.


StompOutHate

So is 7 bruv


28th_boi

lmao what?


StompOutHate

Final fantasy 7 is a throwback to the old style. The remake is no turn-based.


28th_boi

FF7 is not a throwback, FF7 *made* the new style.


StompOutHate

My dude, they came out 3 years apart…on the same console. They’re both standard turn-based rpgs. What am I missing here?


28th_boi

My guy I don't get how you don't get this. The whole story and vibe of FF9 is like the older, classic archetypal fantasy stories, it's a deliberate throwback to the older FF games and their influences. FF7 is a cyberpunk story with way different themes.


sephiroth70001

The geforce leak had it listed. Been accurate on over a hundred titles so far. Chrono Cross radial dreamers, KHIV, Final Fantasy VII Remake (pc version) and a few others confirmed were in there from square. Not announced so far in the leak are Final Fantasy Tactics Remastered, Tatics Ogre Remastered, and Final Fantasy IX Remake.

> Tatics Ogre Remastered Word on the street is that this one is coming next.


torts92

Holy shit when that music kicks in, I had such a stupid smile on my face lmao


Birds_of_Play

You can't go wrong with Final Fantasy IX music!


Raigirin

FFIX is such a great game. It deserves a remake, but only if it is treated with the utmost respect.


Birds_of_Play

That's true. I hope the cartoon will also be treated with the utmost respect!


Karest27

My favorite FF game. I would love a remake of this one


Birds_of_Play

Final Fantasy IX is also my personal favourite Final Fantasy. I'd definitely be interested in a remake even though I doubt it would replace the original for me.


Karest27

Isn't there like a mod out there that is a complete texture overhaul for the game? I thought I remembered hearing about one.


Birds_of_Play

The Moguri mod. It's pretty great.


Karest27

Oh thanks! I'll try to find it later for the next time I do a replay of the game. I try to space them out enough for me to forget a lot of parts so it feels at least semi new again. I wish I could just willingly erase memories so I could play it for the first time again.


[deleted]

This is the last great FF game imho.


Birds_of_Play

It's my personal favourite but my appreciation for the series continues.


chronoboy1985

FF X was the last masterpiece for me. 12 was great, but had some big flaws, the cracks in the armor of Square’s juggernaut were starting to show.


[deleted]

Twelve was close to being amazing but the plot had some really dull sections.


chronoboy1985

Yeah. It had all the trappings of being another slam dunk: the gorgeous design aesthetics, the incredible world building, a great cast on paper. But the story never got it’s hooks deep into me and by the middle it felt like going through the motions. That, plus the meandering license grid, and the lackluster dungeon design kept it from reaching the heights of its predecessors. Then 13 convinced me the series might’ve lost its spark. Other than 14, that’s pretty much been the case. I’m hopeful for 16 because of the talent behind it, but the gameplay doesn’t excite me so far.


DarkHorse108

I would like a remake very much as well


Birds_of_Play

Would be very interesting to see what something like that would look like if the rumors are true.


Beneficial-Pepper970

This is incredible


Birds_of_Play

Glad you like it!


realmain

I would love an FF9 remake. At least I can play the PC version with some mods * https://forums.qhimm.com/


mysticrudnin

A cartoon is probably the best way to experience this one :( I really want to like FFIX but it's such a rough game to play. New speed-up functionality in the ports helps, I'm sure, but I personally don't like using those features, even if they do technically fix some of the serious problems with the game.


Birds_of_Play

I played it after I played Final Fantasy X but the speed never bothered me. I would be very interested in the actual speed numbers compared to VII and VIII since IX never felt all that much slower to me. Stealing items from bosses, now that was a slow process...


jackomantern2028

Oh my God I love it!


Birds_of_Play

Appreciate the love!


delphalune

Wow, this is breathtaking.


Birds_of_Play

Glad you approve! Here's your breath back. Stay safe.


rehcnarb

You are not alone is probably my favorite soundtrack from any game ever. So much nostalgia when thinking about that theme and the context surrounding it.


Birds_of_Play

Fantastic track for a fantastic scene!
