Final Fantasy IX: Reclusion Announced as Non-Video Game Project

Square Enix has announced Final Fantasy IX: Reclusion, but fans of the series should not expect a remake or a remaster, as the company is releasing a jigsaw puzzle under this name.

Against the backdrop of the success of the Final Fantasy VII remake series, fans have long awaited an updated version of the ninth installment. Square Enix appears aware of the interest in the classic game, but the new project turned out to be entirely different from what players anticipated.

Final Fantasy IX: Reclusion appeared in the company official store and drew media attention. Instead of a new game or an HD re-release, fans are being offered an officially licensed 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzle.

The puzzle is priced at $39.99, which is as much as many games cost on Steam and consoles.

Despite this, hope for a full-fledged Final Fantasy IX remake remains while Square Enix continues to utilize the potential of the classic title in other formats.
