The new year began with good news for the most gamers: Square Enix has announced that it will bring the remake de Final Fantasy IX ours iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. In addition, it will also take the ninth title of the saga to Android and PC's And it will do so 16 years after the arrival of Final Fantasy IX to the original Sony PlayStation, but with a more modern image that will look better today.
Most likely, this game will not only appeal to those who played it at the beginning of the millennium, but it will also appeal to a new generation of fans who prefer to always have their games in their pocket. Those who already knew the game will not find great news, if not the same story focused on the Princess Garnet of Alexandria and his kidnapping by a theater group hired to liven up his birthday.
Square Enix has not revealed many details of what will be in this remake of the mythical game but, if we look at other reissues, we can expect a game almost traced to the original with greatly improved graphics. On the other hand, the controls will have also been modified so that we can play better on touch screens, although most likely we can use MFi controllers that will make the experience the same or better than what we felt on the original PlayStation. Additionally, games are also likely to be automatically saved, something that, if memory serves, couldn't be done 15 years ago.
Square Enix has announced that Final Fantasy IX is coming coming soon to Japanese devices. They haven't mentioned anything about when it will hit other markets, but the wait shouldn't be too long. The title will be compatible with iOS 7 or higher and Android 4.1 or higher, but the developer also advises that it may not work on some Android devices, perhaps due to limited or incompatible hardware.
