Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy VIII have been big hits on the PSN since receiving digital releases, and now according to a Square Enix statement, FFIX could be next in the long running series to make it onto Playstation 3′s digital distribution network.

Square producer Shinji Hashimoto has been collecting opinions on whether people would like to see the last PS1 title on the Playstation Store. It didn’t take long to get a response, and apparently it was so ‘passionate’ Hasimoto plans to propose it next week.

Hasimoto posted on the Square Enix Japanese Members Twitter account (in Japanese):

“Thanks to everyone for your opinions on FF9. 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!”

Hopefully we’ll hear more on Zidine, Vivi, Garnet, Steiner and a whole bunch of less important characters making the jump soon.
