Final Fantasy IX PSN dated for Japan

Square Enix has confirmed via Twitter that the hotly anticipated PSN release of Final Fantasy IX will finally be released in Japan on May 20.

While a price point wasn’t announced, Square’s Shinji Hashimoto further added that the company would lift the lid on an international release date soon. He also unveiled a video of the classic RPG running on the PSP.

Final Fantasy IX originally hit the PSone back in 2000 and went on to sell a meaty 5.30 million copies worldwide, though didn’t quite match the dizzying commercial heights of its predecessors. Nonetheless, it has maintained a strong following among fans and currently holds a 94% review average on Metacritic.
