This isn’t a full remake like Final Fantasy 7 Remake, but it will improve considerably on what fans saw in the original PlayStation release, and even the partially enhanced PlayStation 3 port. If you’ve played the PlayStation 4 or PC port of Final Fantasy 7, you should have a good idea of how these improves will look. The Steam port of the game will add achievements, showcase the cinematics in high-definition, and improve the character models. Let’s take a quick look at what fans can expect when Final Fantasy 9 hits Steam and iOS in early 2016. All that matters is that we’re getting an updated version of the game with some moderately enhanced visuals and a few gameplay adjustments to improve the game. In the end it doesn’t matter how long it has taken Square Enix to port one of the fan favorite Final Fantasy titles.
It’s strange that Square Enix took so long to port the game when it’s the fourth best-selling game in the series behind Final Fantasy 7, Final Fantasy 8 and Final Fantasy 10. That will finally change early this year when Final Fantasy 9 gets a Steam and iOS release. If you’re a fan of Final Fantasy 9, you may have wondered why Sony’s consoles were the only way you could play the game when so many other Final Fantasy titles were available on iOS, Android or PC.
