Square Enix today announced that Final Fantasy IX will be available to download from the PSN across PAL territories from today. When the Queen of Alexandria begins terrorising neighbouring kingdoms with highly advanced magical weapons, a skilful young thief named Zidane forms a group made up of bandits, knights and magicians in an attempt to stop her. Little do they realise that the Queen’s warmongering actions are merely a cover for a far more sinister plot. For the sake of mankind, Zidane and his company must put an end to the Queen’s reign before she and the evil forces that accompany her can carry out the deadly plan.
Originally released in 2000, Final Fantasy IX makes a long-awaited return this week, via digital download on the PSN. The original PS one release has long been out-of-print and unavailable to a new generation of console owners and Final Fantasy fans. Now players will get another chance to own and experience the tale of a young thief and a battle of good over evil. Larry Sparks, Vice President Brands PAL Region of Square Enix Ltd. comments, “We’re very pleased to be able to welcome back another classic title in the company’s history. Final Fantasy IX is a perfect summer release for download and I am sure that it will attract
many fans both old and new.”
