Oh how exciting! I can't watch this until later, but I hope they do this for other FF titles too!

Square Enix has released the first in a new series of developer features called “Inside Final Fantasy.”
The first video, titled “Inside Final Fantasy IX,” provides an in-depth look at the classic Final Fantasy title, and takes a look at some of the secrets and anecdotes from its development.
The video features interviews with:
  • Shinji Hashimoto (Producer)
  • Toshiyuki Itahana (Artist)
  • Kazuhiko Aoki (Event Designer)
  • Nobuaki Komoto (Event Planner)
 
Wait wait wait hold the phone

...Part of the inspiration for FFIX was The Dark Crystal?

So THAT'S why I got so attached to FFIX.
It all makes sense now.

That explains the crazy creatures in FFIX!
I've always been curious about the diversity of humanoid characters in FFIX. Here we have hippo-people, bird-people, wolf-people, goblins, rat-people, and so on... Even some of the characters who are listed as 'humans' have blue-skin. These people all share the world and nobody questions them.

It is very much a Jim Henson-esque world.
