“Relive the journey that made us rethink what it means to live.” The nostalgic yet powerful melodies of Final Fantasy 9 are recrafted and immersed in the rich echoes of deep house music,” reads a press release. “From the misty mystery of ‘Danger In The Forest’ to ‘A Place To Call Home’, these twelve tracks transform iconic tunes into sleek, floor shaking club beats. A set of warm yet striking dance music tributes – created for everyone who once stepped into that unforgettable world.”

Final Fantasy 9 celebrated its 25th anniversary last year. The soundtrack was re-released on vinyl alongside a celebratory cinematic. There had been reports a remake was in the works at Square Enix but according to a reliable leaker, the project is now “on ice”.
It comes after Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth (the second chapter of the three-part remake project) was met with lower than expected sales. “Profits unfortunately did not meet our expectations,” said Square Enix during a financial call in 2024, with 2023’s Final Fantasy 16 also underperforming.
In other news, A$AP Rocky has shared a series of video-game inspired artworks for new album ‘Don’t Be Dumb’.
