The 25th Anniversary of Final Fantasy 9 is coming up and Square Enix is already gearing up to celebrate the occasion with a new website displaying some planned special edition items. Fans have naturally dug a bit deeper into the new webpage, discovering hints at the upcoming Final Fantasy 9 remake.
In an announcement post, Square Enix confirmed that the Final Fantasy 9 25th Anniversary celebration will begin on the 7th of July 2025, an interesting time that fits right between Summer Game Fest and Gamescom Opening Night Live.
Final Fantasy IX added a 25th Anniversary website!?!!?
The website says (translated by me)
“FF9 will be celebrating its 25th Anniversary on July 7th, 2025! From goods to collaborations, we are preparing various projects, so please look forward to it!”

The announcement states that “various projects” are on the way to celebrate the anniversary, leading many fans to believe that the long-awaited remake announcement is on the way.
Why are fans so convinced that Final Fantasy IX is next in line for a remake? Well. a few years back, Nvidia's GeForce Now database leaked, revealing a ton of titles that had not yet been announced for PC, or announced at all. Many of the big games found through this leak have since released, so it is not so much a matter of if the remake is going to be announced, but when. From the sounds of it, we'll be getting some big news later this summer, but while an announcement may arrive this year, it is also entirely possible that the game needs a little more time and won't release this year.
Square Enix executives have previously acknowledged the idea of a Final Fantasy 9 remake. Given the timing of the anniversary celebration, it could end up being announced first for the Switch 2.

KitGuru Says: Would you like to see a Final Fantasy 9 remake or are there other titles in the series you would like to see Square Enix revisit instead? Personally, I'd like to see Chrono Trigger come back after decades on ice.
