EuroVisual Studios is listing Final Fantasy, Black Mages Legacy, a 2D-animated series inspired by Square Enix's Final Fantasy IX game, in development with 10 22-minute episodes. It summarizes the series as a story about the children of Bibi (the Japanese reading for Vivi, one of the game's main characters who is a Black Mage), now living in a primary game city Alexandria.

The company describes the story:

Paris-based Cyber Group Studios had signed a co-development and co-production deal with Square Enix to create animated series based on Final Fantasy IX for 8- to 13-year-olds. Cyber Group Studios' CEO Pierre Sissman had previously stated that the company aimed to begin production by the end of 2021 or beginning of 2022. However, Cyber Group Studios closed in April 2025.

Final Fantasy IX debuted on PlayStation in 2000. Square Enix most recently rereleased the game on Nintendo Switch and Xbox One in March 2019. Square Enix rereleased Final Fantasy IX on PlayStation 4 in September 2017. It previously rereleased the game on iOS and Android devices in February 2016, and on PC via Steam in April 2016.

Square Enix commemorated the 25th anniversary for Final Fantasy IX last year with new illustrations, a vinyl record, merchandise, an exhibit, café collaborations, and a crossover with the Another Eden: The Cat Beyond Time and Space game, among other projects.
