Yes, there is a batch of references to Final Fantasy 9 in the collector's edition of Final Fantasy 14 Dawntrail… and no, that's not a coincidence.
“You may have noticed a lot of references to Final Fantasy 9 here… And the reason is a secret,” producer and director Naoki “Yoshi-P” Yoshida said through a translator during his PAX East Panel. She then pretended to shut her mouth and flatly refused to reveal anything more. The provocation.
It's not entirely a secret, of course. Some of you may remember that rumors of a remake started when Final Fantasy 9 was one of several unannounced games leaked by the GeForce Now database a couple of years ago, which also included Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Kingdom Hearts 4, and Chrono . Cross remastering.

Since Yoshida refuses to say more, all we can do is consider this a rumor for now. However, Yoshida confirmed that there will once again be no physical disc release for Dawntrail and the “complicated” editions – there are four in total; Standard, Digital Collector's Edition, Collector's Box, and Collector's Edition – these will be detailed on the official website to help you decide which one you want to purchase.
Final Fantasy 14's Dawntrail will be released in full on July 2, 2024 (Early Access will launch a week earlier on June 28), so both you and the Dawntrail development team have “one week” to complete the long-awaited Elden Ring DLC, Shadow of. the Erdtree.
Speaking at PAX East this weekend, producer and director Naoki “Yoshi-P” Yoshida teased that the team had hoped to open in early access a week early, but then… “Elden Ring DLC…”
Dawntrail will follow Endwalker, which was so popular at launch that the game was pulled from sale. The new expansion features a host of returning characters and a tropical marine setting seemingly inspired by South America.
