Final Fantasy 14 pre-order bonuses hint at rumored FF9 Remake Square EnixThe pre-order bonuses for Final Fantasy 14\u2019s Dawntrail expansion and comments from the game\u2019s director hint that the leaked remake of Final Fantasy 9 is legit. Final Fantasy 14 Dawntrail director Naoki Yoshida recently discussed the new expansion\u2019s pre-order bonuses, which include characters from Final Fantasy IX. These bonuses include an Ark Mount and Garnet Minion in the Digital Collector\u2019s Edition and a Wind-Up Zidane Minion in retailer-specific pre-orders. A thread on the Gaming Leaks and Rumours Reddit has explained why these pre-order bonuses, along with Yoshida\u2019s comments, are subtle confirmations of the leaked Final Fantasy 9 remake. During PAX East 2024, Yoshida said, \u201cYou may have noticed a lot of Final Fantasy IX references here\u2026 but the reason is a secret.\u201d Fans think this refers to the remake, which was discovered during the NVIDIA GeForce Now leak but has yet to be officially confirmed by Square Enix. \u201cThere are more and more hints about Final Fantasy IX remake. When will Square Enix announce it?\u201d one fan wrote, while another said, \u201cThere\u2019s a IX anime that hasn\u2019t been heard of in a good while. I mean, if Grubb is talking about a remake it is or at least was real at some point, but the anime seems like it should come out sooner.\u201d Final Fantasy crossovers occurring within Final Fantasy 14 aren\u2019t unusual. In fact, a Final Fantasy 16 crossover event will happen in 2024. The fact that Yoshida linked it to a \u201csecret\u201d is what\u2019s igniting the fans\u2019 imaginations. Adding classic Final Fantasy characters as pre-order incentives usually wouldn\u2019t cause anyone to bat their eyes, but if it\u2019s linked to something, then it\u2019s most likely the remake. A Final Fantasy 9 animated series is in the works, but that was announced long ago, so there\u2019s no secret involved. Another possibility is that Final Fantasy 9 content is planned for Dawntrail or its post-launch patches. We already know there will be a Final Fantasy 11-themed Alliance Raid in the expansion, so maybe there will be Final Fantasy 9 content, too? Whatever the case, it\u2019s clear that Final Fantasy 9 fans will be eating well in the Dawntrail expansion, even if it only means having its protagonist follow you around on the new continent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
