Final Fantasy 14's Yoshi-P adds fuel to the Final Fantasy 9 remake rumors, teases that the reason for all the Dawntrail references is "a secret"

Zidane and Vivi look startled in a cutscene from Final Fantasy 9.

Final Fantasy 14's director dived into the MMO's upcoming expansion earlier today, announcing the Dawntrail release date and a wave of other information. But one particular line has only bolstered rumors about a potential Final Fantasy 9 remake.

Director Naoki 'Yoshi-P' Yoshida revealed all in a special presentation live-streamed from PAX East today, where he brought out Dawntrail's Collector's Edition which includes a detailed Viper figure, a beautiful cloth map, an art box, a pen case that looks like it could exist within the game's world, and some other goodies.
