Final Fantasy IX (Zidane and Co.) coming to PC/Mobile in 2016...!

No details on whether it will be enhanced in any way.

"With high-definition graphics, newly added achievements, auto-save, high speed mode, and several game boosting features, the game is easy to pick up and play no matter where you go."

They showed some screens too.

They're using the higher resolution fmvs that were released on a collectors dvd from back then, so thats nice. All polygon-based elements are running in a higher native resolution (like can be done in PS1 emulators), and interestingly the textures for some characters seem to be higher res (repainted? or maybe they still had the source textures?). The backgrounds are still the old 320x240 ones though instead of using the high res source art.

Hopefully it comes to Steam so everyone can enjoy it.

I imagine this game would do well there.

That's insulting <_<.

Achievements system used in an FF game. lol

Lmfao imagine a 1080p 3D character running around in a 320x240 picture?
Oh, they will probably make it blurry rather than pixelated to give it their usual "soft" sucktitude.

I'm really shocked that this game is coming to PC! I could swear SE didn't care and wouldn't do it because there is no PC version from the 2000's.

BTW, I'm still waiting for the full scale remake (2D or 3D) of FF5 and FF6. They said they're interested in those still today, but they're working on so many other things too.

Well, they are. FF7 cereal.

Well, they did do a fugly 'remake' of FF6 already for mobile...

I just wish the US got the SaGa 2 and 3 remakes for the DS (though I have no idea what they're like . . . I just love Final Fantasy Legend II & III).
