Final Fantasy is making a comeback, but it’s not what you think

As fans wait for a remake, this favorite episode of the cult JRPG series will return in an unexpected form.

While Final Fantasy 7 was entitled to a major remake that surprised fans from the start, another episode is still patiently waiting to return. Adored by many fans of Square Enix’s fantasy JRPG saga, Final Fantasy 9 will return to the front of the stage and mark a first for the license.

While previous games have been adapted into mobile games, animated films or even remastered for many platforms, this episode will undergo a treatment never seen before. In June 2021, we learned that a French studio had been put in charge of an adaptation of the 9th part of the Final Fantasy saga… animated series for children.

Cyber Group Studiosspecializing in the creation of content for young people and in particular at the origin of the cartoon adaptation of the comic strip “Blondes” has been in the business for some time now of producing cartoon Final Fantasy 9. No it’s not a kamoulox or an April Fool’s joke but a real production which will also be unveiled very soon.

Indeed, the vice president of marketing of Cyber ​​Group Studios Bruno Danzel d’Aumont revealed to our colleagues fromAnimation Magazine that the Final Fantasy 9 series would be unveiled during the Las Vegas Licensing Expo which takes place this week from May 24 to 26. No information about this strange project has yet been revealed since the project has only been running for a few months.

The questions around the style of the series and its objective fuse, but the wait before discovering what sauce this episode of Final Fantasy will be eaten is not very long. It is not impossible that this series is the first from Cyber ​​Group Studios aimed at an older audience than usual. Indeed, Bruno Danzel D’Aumont said “Our four new series are licenses that can generate great interest for different age groups.

This series may be able to appeal to the youngest as well as to the fans of the first hour and to arouse the curiosity of enough players to convince Square Enix to finally develop a remake for this classic.
