The Final Fantasy IX Prequel Book Now Has a US Release Date

The book, Final Fantasy 9 Picture Book: Vivi and Grandpa’s Memories for the Sky, first came out in Japan in 2025 as part of a big celebration for the Final Fantasy 9 anniversary. Square Enix marked the occasion with new merchandise, a vinyl soundtrack, and a special exhibit in Tokyo from November 22nd to December 7th, 2025. While fans had hoped for an announcement about a Final Fantasy 9 remake, it wasn’t revealed. For fans outside of Japan who couldn’t travel to Tokyo, the English translation of the Vivi book is a welcome treat.
