Final Fantasy 9 Coming Soon for PSN Re-Release

May 7, 2010 12:40 PM

It's been known that a PlayStation Network re-release of Square's PlayStation One classic RPG Final Fantasy IX was coming, but now it's coming "soon" for North America.

The PlayStation blog reports that "If you missed Final Fantasy IX during the early PlayStation era, or are dreaming of reliving the time-tested FFIX adventure, your chance is coming soon."

The downloadable re-release will be playable on the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable. PlayStation Store updates now occur on the Tuesday of every week.

Was this one of the good Final Fantasies? I only played 7 on PS1 and most of X on the PS2 (as well as 1, 4, and 6 on NES / SNES).

  Yes, yes it was. I just thought start of CD3 and beyond went downhill, specially...that thing you get to fight as final boss. This game could have ended a lot better.

  As much as I love 7, 9 might be my favorite FF from the Playstation era.

      It came out late in the PSX's life...I think the PS2 was already out, so a lot of people probably missed it completely.

  One of my favs because it's a throw back to the swords & castles age a la early FFs.

  They're all pretty good.
  
  IX's appeal lies largely in the fact that it was a throwback to FF games of old (namely I-V)

  This was the best. Great story and you can play through without grinding to beat bosses.
