Hey, Daily Quest readers.
Great news, FF9 fans — the animated series is finally happening. After years of uncertainty, the Final Fantasy 9 animated show has resurfaced and is officially in production.
The Full Story
Way back in 2021, Parisian animation studio Cyber Group Studios announced a FF9 animated series starring the iconic Black Mages — Mel, Kolm, Luciola, Théa, Fala, and Doc — the last remaining mages across Gaia's continents. Then... nothing. Cyber Group Studios eventually shut down entirely, leaving fans wondering if we'd ever see the project again.
But now it's confirmed: the series has been listed on Eurovisual under the title Final Fantasy: Black Mages Legacy. It's alive.
What We Know
The story still centers on Mel, frozen in crystal, as the last hope for the Black Mages. The listing confirms:
- 10 episodes in Season 1
- Currently in production
- Season 1 label suggests future seasons may be planned
Who Is This For?
Here's the catch: the series is reportedly aimed at children ages 6-13. It's also not an official Square Enix production — just a licensed show made by a French studio. Square Enix isn't really involved beyond licensing.
But honestly? That's fine. The majority of FF9 fans today are adults in their 30s and 40s. Now they finally have something to show their kids.
Final Thoughts
After Cyber Group's shutdown, it seemed like the series was dead. But Black Mages Legacy is rising from the ashes, and that's worth celebrating — even if it's aimed at a younger audience.
