Not the remake many were after but I am pleased to hear it's getting a re-release - presumably it'll make its way to Steam.

I wonder if it's just the already-existing PC port, with Steamworks support added. If so, hope they sort out the midi sound.

No comments about the Character Booster? I don't know why they'd do that to a classic... Oh wait, yeah I do.

"Find yourself stuck on a difficult section or lacking the funds to buy that vital Phoenix Down? With the Character Booster you can increase your HP, MP and Gil levels to their maximum, all with the simple click of a button, leaving you to enjoy your adventure,"

Presumably real money.

I'm really baffeled why they would even re release this

Because it costs them zilch and is one of the most widely known video games ever made?

Guts is right.

Would much rather see a PC version of the new HD re-release of Final Fantasy X. The Final Fantasy games that use pre-rendered backgrounds will always look strange in a higher resolution, given the polygons will be in a different resolution to the backgrounds.
