A Final Fantasy 9 animated series is currently under development, Kidscreen reports. It is being co-developed with Square Enix by French studio Cyber Group Studios, with Cyber Group also handling distribution, licensing, and merchandise.
Episode count and length have not been finalized, Cyber Group Studios CEO Pierre Sissmann says. However, it will be in production by the end of 2021 or the beginning of 2022, and will reportedly be aimed toward children between the ages of eight and 13. According to Sissmann, Cyber Group Studios is currently putting the final touches on the series bible and is getting ready to pitch it to broadcasters.
Originally released in 2000 for the PlayStation, Final Fantasy 9 has grown into one of the most popular games in the series. It's lauded for its storytelling and its sense of humor, with Vivi — a Black Mage in the midst of an existential crisis — a particular favorite. We gave it a 9.2 in our original review.
