The one thing i really liked about 9 was the auction house. Also Kuja is a Super Saiyan 4.

I absolutely hated that skipping rope minigame to get the Alexandria card early.

 

[Hazanko]

Well, it looks like the Mobile UI From the screenshot.

Well that's me out. Maybe one day.

€16.79 for PS+

This was the moment for me that really made me dislike Zidane. He picked up later in the game but this was so random and unnecessary.

Yeah me too, Zidane is just chauvinist asshole. I guess that's Japan for you anyway, no respect for females. Squall is far better character and cooler and he doesn't molest anyone.

[Chaserjoey]

AAAAAAAAND bought at $25.

Theme is gorgeous! Love the music that comes with it <3

 

[MeatGrinder]

FF8 was awesome. FF9 was some dumb monkey boy.

How dare you!

Is this just a port or a remaster?

 

[kromeo]

Anyway, enough about Squall

behold, the best tune in IX: https://youtu.be/XQ65IINaJXY

[Daffy Duck]

Hmmmm, I was looking at this after GAF was talking about IX in another thread not long ago, I never played 9 so this is rather tempting.

I assume gameplay for a first time with zero guides I am looking at easily over 100 hours of stuff with exploration and other stuff?

It would be more like 60 hours.

Downloading now, awesome.

I don' think any FF game is 100 hours, even without a guide. 9 is more like 40 or 50 and probably less what with the fast forward.

No, even doing everything I'd say maybe 60 hours

 

[Shahed]

Still no buy button on UK store

It's up now. I brought it

About 60 or so, the option to speed up battles with this port might make it even quicker too. The game is pretty forgiving in difficulty for the most part. Some side quests and mini games can span a whole chunk of play time (Chocobo Hot and Cold for instance, or Mognet), but like most FFs, you aren't gonna get total ability to explore until a ways in.

 

[snausagesUK]

Will this have the music problems the PC version had at release I wonder? They patched it but for a while it was really tinny

Fuuuuuu----

 

[Stead Fast]

Also, yes! This theme knows what's up!

Freya and Vivi!

 

[panthapanda]

Bought. All the PSX FFs are cool in my book but if my purchase helps bring VIII, hopefully, then of course I'll support.

 

[Dark_castle]

That theme though.

 

[Shin-Ra]

£17 they're having a laugh.

 

[Intel_89]

Really curious to see how this runs on PS4.

 

[FinalAres]

Me too. Can't wait to see the first vids. Even curious about the title screen in this version!

Oh well its on download so I can at least see it tonight,

EDIT: Someone's playing it!

[Prithee Be Careful]

Bought. All the PSX FFs are cool in my book but if my purchase helps bring VIII, hopefully, then of course I'll support.

Unless I'm mistaken, there's just VIII and the XIII saga now missing from the PS4 library (the servers for XI are shut down now, I believe, so that's never coming back).

Why's the command menu huge like it's a touchscreen game.

 

[Chaserjoey]

Check your PS4 avatars! There are 8 given to you when you purchase the game.

 

[snausagesUK]

Why's the command menu huge like it's a touchscreen game.

Port of Android version which is what PC got as well.

Which is why I'm curious about the music.

 

[amardilo]

Final Fantasy IX was the first FF game I properly played and it's my favourite in the franchise.

Still loveee that music.

 

[J4g3r]

£13.59 if you have PS+.

Fairly certain it's identical to the PC version, which goes on sale all the time for way less.

 

[DangerMouse]

Nice, good to get some discount.

 

[Intel_89]

Remind me again why combat animation still looks choppy af on newer hardware?

 

[blackjaw]

With fast forward I am 100% buying this!

 

[FinalAres]

They have made slight tweaks. The title menu is slightly less guady (a few buttons removed) but other than that it is the mobile UI, which is beautiful but massive). Shame they didn't change that.

However it looks no worse than the FF7 PS1 menu which got absolutely massive when you have 5+ skills. So I can definitely live with it. Still the definitive version.

 

[Everlya_Apocryha]

So now PS4 already got FF7, 9, 10, 10-2, 12, 14, 15, Type-0 and Dissidia..

Probably a good idea to re-release 1 - 6, 8 and 13 so that (almost) all main FF can be play on a modern console legitimately.

Wow, clicked right when he started the fight scene. Queen Brahne was impressed lol.

 

[snausagesUK]

Because the characters only have like 15 frames of animation per second, that's as much information as they've ever had

 

[Shin-Ra]

£13.59 if you have PS+.

That's still a very high asking price with the 20% discount, considering the quality of the port and age of the game.

 

[Hero-of-Time]

Trophies are up.

Excalibur II

 

[Aarglefarg]

Yet again the theme doesn't work around the PS4 interface. Having a busy image right under where text will go on the upper screen makes it illegible and the whole thing ugly.

 

[Buddy Mcpuddy]

It could be the stream but the music sounds pretty tinny to my ears, the same issue on PC required a fan-patch to correct the sample rate, here's hoping they've done their due diligence.

Has anyone got shots of the UI in battle?, the menu was awful on PC.

 

[Everlya_Apocryha]

anyone can browse through the trophy list and see how hard are the trophies for this to get platinum?
