Memories of a life and time when things were simpler and 3d gaming was still somewhat new. It was 2000 for me when I first booted up the game, heard "The Place I'll Return to Someday" and fell in love with a game that would change my life. Fans and newcomers will have another opportunity to visit the world of Gaia today as revealed just this morning for New Year's Eve is the announcement of Final Fantasy IX coming to PC iPhone, and Androids. This port will feature an HD resolution, a high speed mode, and new achievements. With Final Fantasy IX now joining PC, the only mainline Final Fantasy games to not be given a PC port are I, II, X, and XII. There is currently no specificity on the release date.
Will you be getting the last PSone Era Final Fantasy when it arrives on PC and smartphones?
I hate to say it but Mirage is right. We're talking this will be a direct port with a graphics uplift and some achievements for completing simple enough challenges/tasks thrown in.
To be honest, I would say 9 is possibly more deserving of the remake treatment than 7 (heretical I know, but hey I think there's a couple of better entries out there than 7 despite the fact that I love FF7).
However, a PC release on steam does make it much easier to make third party mods and patches for the game. Maybe there will be mods available to open up certain areas and add some abandoned content?
Those renders are certainly pretty. I'm having a hard time telling how high res that is compared to what's in the game, though. The shots there seem to be of the entire area, of which only a small frame is viewed on screen at any given time. I find it hard to tell how much of each of those images would be stretched to fill my entire screen at a time.

If it's anything like how FFVII did it, they basically slice up those renders (along with compressing them) and put it back together in the engine through code. It seemed rather convoluted the way they did it, so maybe they'll be too lazy.
