Square Enix is exploring the possibility of reissuing PSOne RPG Final Fantasy IX via PSN.

According to producer Shinji Hashimoto, the studio has been gathering feedback on whether fans would like to see the game appear on the digital storefront.

"Thanks to everyone for your opinions on FF9," Hasimoto wrote on Square Enix's Twitter feed. "Regarding an FF9 download release, everyone is so passionate about it that I'll be proposing it at the next board meeting. Look forward to next week."

Final Fantasy IX was the last main entry in the franchise to appear on the PSOne. Released in 2000, the game took the series back to its fantasy roots.

Predecessors Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy VIII are already available for download on PSN.

It doesn't surprise me but I hope it does, I'll probably get it when I get a ps3 as I have the other two's PC versions. I wonder if they'll do the PS2 games? I hope they do as I'd love to play FFX again.
