Not only the greatest FF game ever made, but my own personal favorite game in all existence, was announced as being ported (after being leaked the day before) and is set to make its debut on PS4 today.
I had a glance at the trophy list and mind my language, but goddamn. You are going to get the whole experience chasing down its platinum, including the 1000x jump rope mini quest (which first takes place in the first scene following the title splash) and ranging to having to obtain the Excalibur II (a hidden weapon not accessible unless you reach the final boss within 12 hours). I highly suggest reserving that second for a second playthrough.
But regardless, if you've never played it or a FF game before, this is the one to check out. With mods built into the game that allow you to accelerate the in-game speed or forego random encounters altogether, it's one of - and, by me, the best - JRPG to have originated out of the JRPG golden era of the PS1.
One caveat: the enhanced character models clash with the static backgrounds and aren't as aesthetically fitting as their sub-res PS1 counterparts. But if you can adjust, it is a game that resoundingly shaped my childhood and generated a deep passion for the medium that carries on today.
Rally-ho!
