After a ton of speculation, Final Fantasy IX was finally announced for the PlayStation Network in Japan last month. However, Square Enix were completely quiet on a Western release, until now.

The announcement has come via an official post on the US PlayStation Blog website, although that's pretty much the only detail that was divulged in the post.

As yet, no release date has been specified, and there's no word about the game becoming available in the European store - surely that's only a matter of time though.
