One of Square Enix’s older role-playing titles,Final Fantasy 9, seems to be experiencing a recent resurgence of love from its fanbase. Given that the video game company has been busy developing the modern remake ofFinal Fantasy 7, and evenporting niched titles such asLegend of Mana, it is not surprising that players of the company’s other RPGs are clamoring for remasters of their own. Now, to showcase their love for all thingsFinal Fantasy 9, another fan has shown off an amazing cosplay rendition of lady knight Beatrix.
Fans ofFinal Fantasy 9likely need not to worry as Square Enix has already heard their cry to produce something for the title.FF9will be adapted into an animated series, with its main audience being children. Given thatFinal Fantasy 9has many anthropomorphic charactersin the game, children will likely find the animated series entertaining and eye-catching. However, fans will likely agree that an animated series cannot compare to an actual remaster or remake of the RPG, and are likely to continue asking for Square Enix to make one in the future.
