Square Enix CEO Yoichi Wada today confirmed something that many fans have been waiting to hear -- Final Fantasy IX is coming to the PlayStation Network! The game was teased last week by Square Enix producer Shinji Hashimoto, and today the CEO stated it was definitely happening in a short, six-second video.
Final Fantasy IX tells the story of a young thief named Zidane who becomes embroiled in a battle between good and evil after a bungled attempt to kidnap a princess. Its lighthearted humor, retro-flavored character designs and innocent charm helped set it apart from its contemporary, brooding Final Fantasy counterparts.
Final Fantasy IX is easily my favorite FF game in the series, and I am thrilled it's coming. So far, of course, it's only confirmed for Japanese PSN, but Square Enix always brings its FF games to the West. I simply cannot wait.

So glad it's on the PSN. More ff9 for everyone! :D
ll update us when its released in the states, can't miss this.
Vivi, man. Vivi is an icon. Just look at him.
VIVI.
Now I just need a bigger card for my PSP (Assassin's Creed pack only comes with a 2GB, can't evens store the complimentary movie on it) and we'll be set. I have the game on disc but will totally get the portable version.
Tetra Master wasn't as good as Triple Triad IMHO but as someone else pointed out...VIVI.
Black Mage Violence.
But the fact of the matter is that Final Fantasy III(VI,whatever) is the best goddamn Final Fantasy game ever.
Still my favorite FF on the Playstation. That battle theme is just...TOO ROCKIN.
great news, FF6 and FF9 are my all time faves

Gives me hope that FF12 will get the same treatment in a few years. Such an underrated game.
Exactly.
I meant...
Amen. Tell it on the mountain! And anybody with a different opinion can go suck on an Easter Egg, because they're wrong.

Final Fantasy IX is one of the better FF games. I think some don't like it simply because it lacks any Techno/Cyberpunk content.
