Confirmed details--like price and release date--are scarce, but they have confirmed that it will come with a few modernized features. It will have 36 achievements, a "Character Booster" that will let you alter the stats of your party, and cloud saves so you can play it from any computer it's installed on.
A little strange that it doesn't seem like it will be released on Steam, which it was initially rumoured to be planned for. Steam already has systems in place for achievements and cloud saves, so it does seem odd that it's "Exclusive" to Square Enix's online store.

You get the lovely task of selecting instruments for the remaining cast to play on this date. It’s all a variation of Eyes on Me but each instrument has a bit of a different tune. You can have a lovely celtic sounding composition, or possibly a Jazz one. Or, like many players, you'll end up with a sound that causes weaker willed people’s ears to bleed.
Oh and a very awkward laugh to be had about it? A porn magazine is involved. Being the nice guy he is, Irvine leaves Squall a magazine to help him get Riona and Squall “in the mood.” Yeah. YEAH.
