Final Fantasy IX

Square Enix is giving fans a sneak peek into its popular Final Fantasy series with a new set of developer interviews.

“Inside Final Fantasy” is a featurette series that takes a look at the secrets and anecdotes from each game’s development, bringing together interviews with a variety of original creators, artists and developers.

The first in the series, titled “Inside Final Fantasy IX,” includes interviews with producer Shinji Hashimoto, artist Toshiyuki Itahana, event designer Kazuhiko Aoki, and event planner Nobuaki Komoto. A grand story of war, love and betrayal, Final Fantasy IX puts players in the shoes of a colorful cast of characters whose coming together affects the fate of the world. Zidane and the Tantalus Theater Troupe have kidnapped Princess Garnet, the heir of Alexandria, but to their surprise, the princess herself yearned to escape the castle and see the world for herself. Together, they explore the world and encounter new friends and enemies to embark on an adventure unlike any other.
