I think this is very plausible! There are actually already a lot of parallels between 14 and 9 as you note. I didn't consider that Solution 9 could be for the souls of another shard, but I can see how that could tie into the Void arc in endwalker as well.
I loooove FF9, and this was such a quality video to summarize everything between these 2 games that we know atm! I genuinely hope we'll get FF9 related raids as well, it would be insanely cool
looking forward to seeing just how integral the ff9 references will be for the MSQ, if at all. Just glad to see it be given some more love within the game, I'm fully expecting Viper skills to be references to Zidane's moveset as well! Similar to what they did with Gunbreaker for FF8
Thank you I’ve never played 9 so I learned a lot from this! It’s very interesting that the trance skill you showed looks exactly like Terra’s trance from ff6 (maybe it was a reference at the time) and 6 and 9 are the two strongest influences on dawntrail. Coupled with a graphics overhaul that just so happens to make it look like our characters are glowing under their skin. I know it sounds crazy but if they make everyone’s wol turn purple and glowy in dawntrail you heard it here first 😂
Wuk Lumat is a nod to Mog from IX. A boastful yet cowardly girl from another continent, that transforms into Maduin, a lion summon of holy light (dawn-trail) to protect her adopted sister (brother in XIV). Also Viper is Zidane all over, the power source is also based on hunter memories like a festival of the hunt. Also one of Zidane's two handed weapons is called Rune Tooth. It not only looks very similar to the Viper weapon in terms of design but also the description of said weapon says it is also known as 'The Viper'.
Really enjoyed the video Mana and cant wait till for Dawntrail to see if any of your theories pan out. I think Zidane will be the Viper trainer, or at lease that will be his name. As always thank you for the entertainment and look forward to your future video's.
Love the video and I can't wait for the FF9 references in Dawntrail! Hopefully we'll get plenty of FF9 music like Kuja's theme and black mage village, that would be wonderful

Fantastic narration 😊
I would love to see some FFIX connections in Dawntrail (as it is my all time favourite).
Looking forward to any updates!
I see the references now! I've watched other videos explaining the plot of IX but I couldn't make the connection to DT but your video did , thank you

Let's not forget the Ark mount released which plays the Battle theme of 9
SPOILER WARNING:
As far as I'm concerned, the reflection Living Memory, Alexandria, etc. are in is the Ninth Shard. 🤓
Not only that, but this is the reflection responsible of the calamity of thunder eons ago

Final Fantasy 9 is a good game
Have I been pronouncing Zidane wrong my whole life
I'm absolutely fine with them referencing 9 in Dawntrail. But only as long as Kuja is wearing pants.
