Iconic JRPG Crossover: Another Eden Launches Massive Final Fantasy IX Symphony Event
The highly anticipated crossover event, “Memories of Another Sky,” uniting the mobile JRPG Another Eden: The Cat Beyond Time and Space with the console classic Final Fantasy IX (FFIX), is now live. This collaboration is far more than a simple character exchange; it plunges Another Eden’s protagonist, Aldo, into the world of Gaea, where he teams up with Zidane, Vivi, Garnet, and Steiner for an all-new adventure. The event runs until July 6, 2026, offering fans a massive, nostalgia-fueled experience.
The integration of core FFIX mechanics, original characters, and iconic locations establishes this symphony event as one of the most comprehensive mobile collaborations to date.
Core Features and Integrated FFIX Mechanics
The event introduces a deep, dedicated story that transports players to the setting of Alexandria and incorporates several signature Final Fantasy IX systems:
-
Playable FFIX Party: The main FFIX protagonists—Zidane, Vivi, Garnet, and Steiner—are added to the player’s party as free, permanent 5-star characters through story progression.
-
Synthesis Shops: Players can find Synthesists in towns and dungeons to combine collected items and equipment to create powerful, exclusive new gear, mirroring the upgrade system from the original game.
-
Trance and Abilities: The FFIX characters utilize a special battle mechanic inspired by Trance. Additionally, characters can equip Magic Stones to enable and customize their unique Support Abilities, allowing for deep tactical customization reminiscent of the original system.
Mini-Games and Exploration
The developers have carefully recreated classic side activities and world traversal features to deepen the immersion:
-
Chocobo Hot and Cold: The beloved treasure-hunting mini-game returns, allowing players to utilize a Chocobo to search for hidden loot, including collectible stone slabs with mysterious artwork.
-
Mognet: The moogle-based mail delivery service is integrated, letting players deliver letters between moogles and unlocking event-exclusive story snippets.
-
Active Time Events (ATE): These brief cutscenes allow players to view concurrent actions and perspectives of the FFIX party and other NPCs during key story points.
