"What do you expect them to do, redraw all of their backgrounds?"
A common trick that's been used ever since 3:4 ratio of arcade screens needed to be converted to 4:3 ratio of home tv screens is to at least fill up the black space with a static background. More advanced approach adds additional stuff in there, like the soundtrack title of whatever's running.
Or, you know, if you're ttalking about mobile ports, you can use the black space to draw a controller overlay with faked buttons, instead of slapping them over the actual game area.
That's typically easy enough to do even if you're just wrapping things up in an emulator package.
Edit: just noticed that's sort of what they did, by adding in the grey stone texture. Not the most spectacular, but could be worse.

TL;DR: it doesn't worth its current price, only get it if it gets down to ~5€.

Imho this was the most boring Final Fantasy I had to play on the psone, never did a second playthrough.
They basically wanted to redo a more classic medieval fantastic setting after FF7 & FF8 but the story and atmosphere wasn't there, at least for me.

Why do they keep doing shitty ports to these games while asking so damn much?
Seriously, for this quality, they shouldn't be asking more than $4 tops before discounts. I mean I could get out my old PSX discs and an emulator and be able to turn up the settings and be just fine.
They are charging remastered prices for ported games. Been like this for all the Final Fantasy games it seems. And as much as I would like to see Star Ocean ported, they would probably do the same crap to them.

Guys it's a freaking Final Fantasy game. Port or not, 15 year old game or not, you're crazy if you were expecting it to be under $10. Some of you are so freakin spoiled with $1 bundles, free games, and massive sales every couple of months you are now expecting billion dollar companies to give away their games for practically nothing.
