Dunno what to think of this, as from what i've heard the studio involved making some pretty mid shows, also the targeted age demographic is kinda worrying considering the story FFIX is a kinda smurfed up. Still, it's great to so SE giving IX some love, this series could also open the flood gates for a potential remake or sequel, as the original devs have express interest in making one.
