And if yes, what are the PC requirements for it to run?

Until someone writes a usable PS2 emulator for the PC, no, doesn't exist :p

There are already at least 3 emulators for PS2, go take a look at NGEmu (http://www.ngemu.com) if you're interested. Though my PC lacks in the Graphics Card department to use any.

Why are emulators legal anyway? Surely it's breaching some sort of law not having to pay for a PS2?

Emulation is legal, but all emulators require something called PlayStation BIOS - now that's illegal to have if you don't own a real PlayStation. In essential, you must use a PC Comms Link cable (+software) to transfer the BIOS from PS to a file on PC.

So, legally, you are not able to play PS games on PC if you don't own a PS yourself. If you find someone who illegally gives you the BIOS, and then use it illegally... that's your problem. Though I also got mine (PSX) BIOS illegally, I do own my own PlayStation, I just don't have the PC Comms Link, so I don't think of myself as an outlaw on that matter.

Then that's the only way to play FFX on a PC.
