Final Fantasy IX announced for US PlayStation Network

Following the announcement that Final Fantasy IX would hit the Japanese PlayStation Network on May 20, Square Enix has announced that the game is also “coming soon” to the US PlayStation Network, making this the smallest gap between Japanese and North American announcements for a Final Fantasy release on the PlayStation Network.

“Considered by many gamers to be a must-play title for any RPG fan, FFIX will soon to be available for North American fans via the PlayStation Network,” Square Enix Vice President of Marketing Ami Blaire said in the announcement. “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.”

We’ll keep you updated as the release date is announced.
