Final Fantasy IX for PSP announced

Final Fantasy IX for PSP announced - Square Enix has finally confirmed that Final Fantasy IX will be released for the PSP and PS3. And it comes as no surprise, since based on download reports, Final Fantasy VIII and Final Fantasy VII were the two best selling PSP games so far.

Final Fantasy IX was first appeared in 2000 for PS1 console and was the third game in the series. The game brought new features to the franchise, such as Moogle save system, the Active Time Events, and a revamped equipment and skill system.

We hope that Square Enix does a nice job of offering it on the PSP format, because that’s how we like to enjoy playing this classic RPG.

The announcement wasn’t made via Square Enix’s official site or even via press release. In fact, the it came through a brief video message by Square Enix CEO Yoichi Wada posted to the company Twitter account. Shot using a cell phone, in the six second video clip, Wada just said that the new game would be released for the PSP and PS3.

We expect a more formal announcement that will offer us more detailed release information – hopefully for USA and Japan.
