It's nice that PC users can now play FF9 on the PC as well.

The game is now out on PC steam and 20% off as well! Here is a random user review:

• This is essentially the same version as the iOS/Android version. But no, you don’t have to install any Android software to run it, as was erroneously reported this week.
• The character models have all been redrawn with more polygons and better textures. The menus, menu icons, Tetra Master card art, and other assets have been redrawn.
• The background art is the same low-res art as on Playstation, with some minor filtering to eliminate the huge pixels. Yes, it’s ugly. No, they probably couldn’t have done a whole lot better. It is what it is. Redrawing all the backgrounds would have been too costly and time-consuming. I’m sure some industrious modder out there will probably produce versions with better filtering, though. And I’m looking forward to seeing what can be done with texture packs for the world map and battle scenes.
• The FMVs are higher res than on Playstation. They seem to have been taken from source files before they were compressed for the PSX version. They look great.
• Battle speed is better; battles load faster and menu responsiveness is much improved. Also (IMPORTANT) there is a new option under Config in the menu called “Skip Battle Camera”. If you enable this, it eliminates the opening camera pan over the battlefield for normal encounters (not boss or scripted ones) which makes battles go even faster.
• Like the mobile versions there are modifiers you can enable for 3x speed, no random encounters, unlimited gil, max level, invincibility.
• The music is pulled directly from the original; no midi versions were ever made because there was no older PC port to take them from.
• By far the best port of any of the PSX Final Fantasy trilogy.
