Definitely not, just looks like another FF port.

The theme is quite nice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Q5bCvODsQI
Multiple playthroughs at least, considering one of the trophies (Excalibur II) requires you to reach the final dungeon in under 12 hours.

There are some missables in there but nothing too hard if you follow a guide.
Except jump rope. Fuck jump rope.

A few look very hard and time consuming.

Don't kill me but I've never played a final fantasy game. Would this be a good game to get started with?

IIRC also the PC version world map ran at around 15fps as well. I think as far as updating goes it's mostly the UI which is really cleaned up and the menu performance

Enjoy Zidane, Garnet, Vivi and the rest of the crew.
I don't think any of them from 4 onwards are bad ones to start with, IX has the slowest battles in the series but there are speedup options
Any Final Fantasy game is good to start with as all of them have their own unique story, characters and settings. If you like the look of FF9, then by all means play it.

Trophy list.
1000 jump ropes makes this essentially unobtainable for me. Absolutely brutal and frustrating.

I would say so. It's basically a love letter to all the classic FFs before it. It's aged pretty well and should still be very enjoyable.

i mean with no combat and faster option....it should negates some of the more time consuming parts no?
it's been ages since i completed FF9 (i completed it when i was like 20 or something and i'm now 35 LOL) but i vividly remember that my only issue with FF9 is the pacing of the combat (takes too long)

Excalibur II will no doubt be the most annoying of them all.

is there a way to get the theme without quadra-dipping this game?

Beautiful.
It's actually not too bad with High Speed mode. I've done the 'platinum' on Steam and it took like...70 hours? But most of that was just grinding. I think 40 hours of actual play time. Again I used High Speed Mode when I was bored though.

It shouldn't be, I think. We have speed options now and cutscenes are skippable.

Thanks for this & other responses. Think I'll give it a try.

it's definitely the least 'convoluted'..plot-wise in terms of the 3D FF.....no 'reunion' with mother/split personality mumbojumbo (7), no time compression (8), no Zanarkand/spira/Sin nonsense (10), no japanese star wars (12), no Fal'Cie/L'Cie lunacy (13) and no boyband (15). The plot is easy too follow (entity from another world coming to our world to destroy it and you gotta stop it) but the characters are the star...with Vivi being eternally enduring.
Should be a good one to start. The world has a beautiful design, the characters are charming and you will get lots of content for your money (okay, imo 17,xx and 20,99 are to much). The first two discs of the game may ve the best of the franchise.
It's got a charming well told story with a cast of memorable characters.
It's my favourite one and I've played most.
Only downside is a lot of random battles but you get another option to disable random battles so you you want to explore it's less stressful.

Ugh. Same disgusting trophy list as the steam version. Grinding Chocobo to 99. Getting Excalibur 2. 100 Tetra Master wins. Definitely gonna need a guide for the 79 Active Time Events too.

Thinking about this now... True. Getting that damn weapon back then still haunts me, lol.

Surely cheats would invalidate the trophies right? There's what looks to be a level 99 cheat (the 9999 one) and one trophy is for getting a character to level 99, unless the 9999 cheat doesn't actually raise your level at all...

I love how this version has a scene skip option, but 3 re-releases in and Final Fantasy X STILL has no scene skip option. #StillButthurt

Does anyone know if it has multi-language support?
They're doing you a favour, no one should be denied the laughing scene

They didn't for VII so I'd expect the same. So no, cheats won't lock trophies.

Ridiculous price, really.
At least more people can check it out, however, but I'd definitely recommend a sale price.

The max level, gil, and all abilities cheats do lock earning trophies in IX.

This is the Unity port to iOS (from Silicon Studio Thailand, iirc) with the algorithmically-upscaled backgrounds, right?
Is that a good thing?
Looks like it's lifted straight from the iOS release, touch-buttons and all.

I don't really remember any of them...something about 9 is just forgettable to me, not as bad as 12, but I don't have the same fondness as 7 and 8, and 10

Umm. Anyone else with the game feel that analog stick movement is way off? Or is it just me?
