There is renewed excitement about the much-discussed Final Fantasy 9 remake after Square Enix launched an official Final Fantasy 9 25th Anniversary website.

The website, which is in Japanese, notes the release date of Final Fantasy 9 (July 7, 2000) and points out the game celebrates its 25th anniversary this year.

“We are preparing various projects, including merchandise and collaborations to commemorate the 25th anniversary, so please look forward to it!" the website continues.

That rather innocuous statement, as well as the existence of the anniversary website itself, was enough to spark speculation that Square Enix may finally reveal the Final Fantasy 9 remake fans so desperately want. And the timing of the website’s launch is not lost on fans who point out Nintendo is set to hold a Switch 2-focused Direct this week, on April 2. Could Square Enix finally announce Final Fantasy 9 remake for Switch 2 at the Direct? Some fans are hoping so.

Of course, this may all be nothing. The website itself mentioned merchandise and collaborations, but “various projects” has certainly set tongues wagging.

Last year, Final Fantasy 14 producer Naoki 'Yoshi-P' Yoshida talked a bit about what a Final Fantasy 9 remake might look like, warning it may not all fit in one game.

"Of course, I do know there are requests for Final Fantasy 9 to be made, but when you think about Final Fantasy 9, it’s a game with huge volume," Yoshi-P said. "When you think about all of that volume, I wonder if it’s possible to remake that as a single title. It’s a difficult one. It is a tough question."
