Final Fantasy IX has been released for a few Sony systems now, and the new PC version on Steam layers in keyboard and mouse support as well. And, if you're on PC, you might well be playing with an Xbox-style pad instead, as Xbox pads tend to work very nicely on Windows systems. Here is a button guide for all three!
