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.
