Final Fantasy IX is getting the PlayStation Network PSOne Classics treatment. The announcement came today from Square Enix CEO Yoichi Wada on the company's Japanese Twitter feed. But just when gamers will get to return to Gaia on the PS3 and PSP remains a mystery.

Andriasang picked up on the Twitter announcement and kindly translated the news. Pricing and a specific launch were not mentioned. In a very brief statement, Wada only said the game would be released "soon."


For the sake of accuracy, Wada's announcement was specifically for Japanese PlayStation Network. No official word on a U.S. release, but is there really any doubt?



Sharkey says: Final Fantasy IX, with its throwback look and feel, may not have sold as many copies as VII and VIII, but for many it's a franchise favorite. Me? I'll take Final Fantasy Tactics over them all!
