It’s Final Fantasy day here today, the latest piece of news concerning Square Enix’s flagship franchise coming in the form of a PlayStation Store re-release.
In an email sent out to PlayStation email subscribers, Sony announce in the “coming soon” section that Final Fantasy VIII will be turning up on the PlayStation Store.
I’m interested to see how it holds up after all these years, both because it’s my favourite Final Fantasy game, and because last time I played it I remember it holding up much better than Final Fantasy VII does these days.

Friday, December 18, 2009 at 4:02 PMWhile I appreciate their efforts to bring older popular Final Fantasy titles to new generations I am sad to see that they did not take the time to upgrade the graphics. Even a small upgrade to bring it in line with the PC version running 3dFX would have made this and FF7 an instant purchase at any price… Heck I would have paid a full 50 bucks new game price if they would have given them some love!!
