Final Fantasy VIII's arrival on the North American PSN was announced less than 24 hours ago and apparently they really meant that it was coming soon. This week's update of the PlayStation Store brings with it the game as a PSone Classic that can be purchased for $9.99. The game has a size of 1.78GB.

As a consolation prize of sorts, Square Enix released Final Fantasy VIII as a PSone Classic.

Now you can experience Squall’s tale of love, memory loss, and “…” without switching discs. The entire game is stored in 1.78GB download that’s PSP and PlayStation 3 compatible. Not sure if import PocketStations work with the digital version though.

Final Fantasy VIII costs $9.99, the same price as the Metal Gear Solid Digital Graphic Novel and Holy Invasion of Privacy, Badman.

    FF VIII > VII IMO, been saying that for ages TBH.

    I still have the VII and VIII disks myself anyway.

      Definitely. VII is way over-rated, but nonetheless still a fantastic game.

      FFXII>FFX>FFVIII>FFIX>FFVII

      I know I'll get flamed for that but thats my personal opinion.

        No way...there's someone else out there who actually enjoyed FFXII?! Damn, thank you, reaver. The hate that game gets dumbfounds me, I mean, I know it's nowhere near perfect, but that was because of the characters. The story, gameplay and such was good and fun.

        I love FFVIII, it's my favorite RPG right next to FFIV. I have played through this game multiple times, have this and FFVII on discs still, but...I will buy this, because it's just that memorable.

          I thought FFXII was alright, doesn't deserve all the hate it gets really, it's good for what it is. I'd have to say my favorite FF is FFVI followed by FFV. Which i need to get fixed because it doesn't work anymore =/

          I think it's good that they've released another FF on the PSN now, next will probably be FFIX.

          FFFanaticc you deserve a thumbs up for having VI as your favorite. Easily the best RPG I've ever played. It's amazing how much stuff they fit into an snes cartridge.
