One of the best Final Fantasy games of all time (the best if we go by Metacritic) is getting an animated series.
Square Enix, in collaboration with French Cyber Group Studios, is set to work on a Final Fantasy 9 animated series, which will see Zidane and Garnet's unlikely tale of saving, not just the universe, but the entire multiverse, come to animated life. Is the Final Fantasy 9 Animated Series Confirmed? Final Fantasy 9 had a genuinely happy ending and a family-friendly story.
Final Fantasy IX or 9 told a story that is as prototypical of JRPGs as can get. It's a plot where a teenager suddenly finds himself in a role where he is the savior of the world. However, as standard as the plot can get, everything else about Final Fantasy IX was standard.
The game featured one of the weirdest but lovable video game companions in Quina, with its entire cast filled with quirky but memorable characters.
Now, it seems like the story of Final Fantasy 9 will be told in another medium.
According to Kidscreen, Cyber Group Studios and Square Enix have already signed the deal to collaborate and work together. In the meantime, a project bible is currently in the works as Cyber Group Studios goes around to pitch the show to broadcasters.
