Read from Gematsu:

Paris-based animation company Cyber Group Studios has signed a co-development and co-production deal with Square Enix to adapt Final Fantasy IX into an animated series for eight- to 13-year-olds, according to a Kidscreen report.

Cyber Group Studios will handle production, worldwide distribution, licensing, and merchandising.

Speaking to Kidscreen, Cyber Group Studios CEO Pierre Sissmann said the company plans to begin pitching the series to broadcasters in the coming months, with the goal of beginning production by the end of 2021 or start of 2022.

“The [Final Fantasy] games have a strong co-viewing potential,” Sissmann said. “For those who do know Final Fantasy IX, this will be an [introduction]. And for the many who don’t, this will immerse them in a universe they’ll love.”

Read from Siliconera:

The Final Fantasy IX animated series will appear at the Las Vegas Licensing Expo. This information was revealed in an interview from Animation Magazine with Bruno Danzel d’Aumont, the Vice President of International Licensing and Marketing at Cyber Group Studios. Cyber Group Studios is the studio developing the Final Fantasy IX animated series with Square Enix.

The Las Vegas Licensing Expo will be held from May 24 to May 26, 2022. This is when more information about the animated series will appear, though the exact date and time are unknown. The project was initially revealed in June 2021, accompanied by a brief synopsis of the series.

d’Aumont did not reveal what Cyber Group Studios could potentially share at the Las Vegas Licensing Expo, only that this will be the first time the studio will officially present the animated series. As the series is described as an adaptation of the game, it will likely follow a similar storyline. In the game, Zidane the thief and Vivi the black mage kidnap Princess Garnet before teaming up with her to help save the world from evil.

I wish it was more mature rated, but this should still be good.
