Is there any information on the early Final Fantasy IX ideas or is the article only announcing that they were released on his personal blog in Japanese? I would be very curious to see how the game turned out compared to the original ideas.

I mentioned earlier in another topic that I like seeing What Could Have Been because it allows us to see the original vision of the product in the minds of the developers. Sometimes, it can shed light on storyline details that continue to remain obscure in the finished product.
