Isn't this already on Vita?

Just the PS1 original. Which may be more than enough for some depending on your take.

I've beaten it so many times now that I'm kinda looking forward to just speeding through and enjoying all the bits I like.

 

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

Isn't this already on Vita?

Yeah, as a PS1 Classic. But I'm a Trophy whore

I got VII as a PS1 Classic, then got all the achievements on the PC version, then platinumed it on PS4. Yes, I have a problem.

 

[BasilZero]

Best (or 2nd best) FF gets a release on PS4 !


Not sure if I'll get this version, maybe later - I only finished the PC ver few months ago.

Hey! What about 8?

Come on you can't skip 7 straight to 9!!!

Sigh

This.

FFVIII is best FF!

they're saving this for the real remake after FFVII. Right? I wish

FF9 aint bad though.

 

[DustyVonEric]

I honestly don't understand how they could skip FF VIII.

Jeez man

Sigh

 

[IdreamofHIME]

It ain't pretty, that's for sure.
I played through the PS1 version on Vita about 18months ago and it wasn't too bad, but this is all a bit of a mess. Nice character models and CG, mixed with blur-tastic backgrounds and when the game has CG moving backgrounds it all goes through the shredder and looks like a Sega CD fmv scene.


Ah well, it's still FF9. I ain't got a time machine and Squeenix aren't gonna remaster it. I'll make do.

 

[Skux]

Finally, the game might run at an acceptable frame rate.

 

[jett]

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

Because it's still a half-assed port. The battles still run at 15fps like on PS1.

 

[Camwi]

Glad they skipped the worst of the PS1 FF games and went straight to FF9.

 

[kromeo]

I honestly don't understand how they could skip FF VIII.

Jeez man

Sigh

I'm sure they've got a reason beyond just "some people don't like it", it sold well enough on steam

 

[franklyshankly]

Is this version going to have the stuff like fast forward and no random battles like the mobile version? Those are pretty crucial if I'm going to replay the game for like the 5th time.

 

[Emitan]

FFVII came out a few years ago actually

It does

Can you play in English on the Japanese version and vice versa?

 

[IdreamofHIME]

Ratboy pushed me against Dante's ladder, now im stuck. Have to reset back to beginning. lol.

 

[franklyshankly]

It does

Awesome.

 

[kromeo]

Ratboy pushed me against Dante's ladder, now im stuck. Have to reset back to beginning. lol.

That's like 30 seconds into the game

 

[Yarbskoo]

But they're doing 9. 8 is vastly superior. At least 8 has a likeable main character.

Two of these sentences are wrong.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

That's like 30 seconds into the game

My clock says 32 mins. Crazy when u go exploring and stuff.

 

[Chaserjoey]

Can you play in English on the Japanese version and vice versa?

Says it supports German, English, Italian, French, and Spanish subtitles so I guess if you want to play in Japanese you have to buy from the Japanese PSN.

 

[TheChamp]

VIII can wait we now have both decent PS1 FF games

 

[Easy_D]

FF8 was awesome. FF9 was some dumb monkey boy.

Nice hot-take drive-by shitpost lmao. Zidane is awesome . Play the damn game!

 

[XP_version2]

I see what you've done there but you've clearly forgotten VIII Tactics

 

[TheJollyCorner]

Hey guys what's going on in this th...

*sees FF fans having the usual childish schoolyard fight over which 'is best'*

sigh...

 

[JC Lately]

So it is the mobile/PC version? So I was right about the two player mode being absent?

 

[RPGam3r]

Sad to see the skip the best FF, and go with one of the worst in the series. Not that it's bad, but I rank this right near the bottom next to II and IV.

 

[panthapanda]

Can you play in English on the Japanese version and vice versa?

From my iOS version, I can select the language of the title screen. Can't speak for the console version tho but it seems like a direct port so it should do the same.

Edit: I only see French, Italian, Spanish, and English (UK). Hmm, idk why Japanese isn't an option but ok.

ionship

sorry ;P

 

[demu]

I really want to platinum this game, but 1000 jump ropes are impossible for me. Fuck that. My best is 42 right now. I can see myself getting to 100, but 1000 is ridiculous.

 

[mieumieu]

Because it's still a half-assed port. The battles still run at 15fps like on PS1.

Logic tied to framerate is a concept no one seem to understand these days.

 

[Vashetti]

Is there a good guide/walkthrough for all the missable stuff and in what 'order' to do it all?

Would rather get all trophies in one playthrough if possible.

 

[PixelatedBookake]

Guys just wait FF VIII will get its time. FF IX has (I'm assuming) a bigger fanbase so maybe that's why they brought it first?

 

[muteki]

Well fuck, they skipped over the best one...

 

[Watcher of the Skies]

Yes, incredible news i will get it right away, by the way HOLY SHIT those trophies are hard and really long, Excalibur II, jump the rope 1000 times, etc that is mind breaking.

 

[Garlador]

Guys just wait FF VIII will get its time. FF IX has (I'm assuming) a bigger fanbase so maybe that's why they brought it first?

Even with FFIX as my favorite, I'm still fairly sure FF8 sold a lot better and Squall's popped up in a lot more spin-offs and crossovers over the FF9 cast.

I think VIII will get it's due, but I'm not unhappy IX got re-released first.

 

[sotojuan]

Just started it. Disappointed that the menus/look is the same as the iOS version (big button menus) but I can finally play FFIX without the slowness of the PSOne version. Definitely playing this after work today.

 

[Wamb0wneD]

Cool. Does it crash like the PC version as well?

FF8 was awesome. FF9 was some dumb monkey boy.

If you define the quality of a game on how anime the MC looks you got some priorities to sort out lol.

 

[Chaserjoey]

Really dislike that the FMV's are sped up when you have fast mode turned on. Was hoping it would switch off for those :/. Also makes the dialogue that automatically plays a bugger to keep up with lol

 

[Hippopuncher12]

Yas, day 1!

 

[Widge]

Speed up also makes the festival hunt and chocobo hot & cold really easy. The timer goes the same speed even though you don't. If you want to be pure in your playthrough, make sure you disable at these points.

Caveat - it was like this on iPhone when I played it last.

 

[Jacobbles]

Was interested in trying for he platinum, but after looking at the list, I don't think so. Yikes.

 

[sotojuan]

As brutal as X (and that one doesn't have speed up in the PS3/4 versions!).

You have a point. At least FF8 gets representation in Kingdom Hearts unlike FF9. Vivi shows to get brainwashed in a flashback and barely has any lines. At least Squall and Selphie get to talk to the main characters...

 

[simmias]

Good. I like RPG trophy lists that reward completionists.

 

[Junahu]

I don't think you'll have a good time trying for everything in the same playthrough. One of the missables involves speedrunning the entire game.

 

[Hippopuncher12]

Oh snap, it's already out on US PSN. Bought!

 

[RPGCrazied]

How does these look on PS4? The background especially? Do they play fullscreen or in a 4:3 box?

 

[Rootbeer]

I'm assuming this is like the FFVII re-released in that it's much the same as the PC/Steam version? The only reason I would consider buying it is if it had any noteworthy improvements over it. Otherwise, I'm really happy to own a large chunk of the FF games on Steam now (keep them coming, Square)

Also, for the people frustrated with the jumprope trophy it's easy to cheat it on PC using macros. Obviously not gonna suit everyone, but for me I was happy to deal with it that way since I'm getting old and don't have time for that shit, lol. 100, 200, 300... doable. 1000? c'mon. So, that is one reason you may want to go PC.

4:3, and the backgrounds look pretty bad on my 4K. Character models are decent though.
