Support NeoGAF

[Marow]

Does this require a Square Enix account? I know FF7 and FF8 do, but not sure about this and FF3.

 

[CrunchyFrog]

It'll be nice to have the best version of FF4 available at a higher resolution with decent controls.

Mods have spoken pack it up folks.

For realskies though FF 5 and 6 3DS need to happen so we can get those on the PC port train stat. Top it all off with a straight 9 port and I'll have all the FF's I want in glorious high res PC magnificence.

 

[jb1234]

I love the DS FFIV, as it actually provides a challenge. Just need to wait until I have more money to pick this up...

 

[PixyJunket]

YEAAAH, the best version of IV by far.

I guess the iOS version of TAY will soon follow? Well, it probably still sucks.

 

[Unai]

So... is there a way to unlock the framerate yet?

Nope, no SE account required.

 

[HolyBaikal]

Wow, it really did come out for the PC today.

I'll buy it right away. This is my favourite Final Fantasy game and I've always wanted it on the PC!
Yay! This is so great!

 

[Falk]

shit, I'd buy the PSP version on PC. Not a fan of the DS games' look. I don't think the "big head" look translated well to 3D since it's not a cutesy game.

Bravely Default says hi

 

[OccamsBlender]

Unavailable in Japan. Fuckers.

 

[Tizoc]

Unavailable in Japan. Fuckers.

Would someone gifting you the game let you be able to play it?

 

[fionel]

I'm wondering if this is still running at like 15fps as in the DS/iOS version.

 

[Deleted member 20920]

Oh cool hey, let's check out how much this is!

D-damn! But at least it's on Humble too. I'm going to check there instead!

Thanks for nothing Square Enix!

I wonder whether they'll ever sell it here duckroll...We still don't have FFIII.
And Konami's Revengence and Castlevania Lord of Shadows.
Not sure what's with Japanese companies and their arbitrary region locking practices for Steam.

Unavailable in Japan. Fuckers.

It was cool seeing the characters in full 3D in the CGI trailer, but I didn't enjoy 4 (PSP) enough to play it again. Stupid shit like 48 item unified inventory had me spending too much time messing about selling and dropping items.

I am surprised people dislike PSP 4's sprites - I liked them and thought the game looked really good.

The DS version was WILDLY different from the original game (which the PSP version is based off of). I can't comment specifically on how items are handled in comparison, but it's almost an entirely new game with the same characters, etc. I would definitely give it a chance at some point if you like old-school JRPGs, they really fixed most of IV's weak spots in the remake version.

And the reason I dislike the PSP sprites is that it's high-resolution art trying to emulate low-resolution pixel work and it never looks good, it looks awkward and unsettling.

For those on the fence about this game:

The soundtrack is one of the absolute best RPG soundtracks ever made. it's varied, emotional, memorable, catchy and absolutely triumphant. It stands tall with some of the absolute best tracks of the series, some fucking INSPIRING battle music and even though the story is simple with little chibi characters awkwardly emoting all over the place, the music WILL tug at your heart strings and get you involved in the story.

If you are a lover of good classic videogame soundtracks then you owe it to yourself to play this game.

..or listen to the soundtrack

 

[Mathaou]

I have the original on the PS1, but I never played it. I was planning to, so it might as well be this!

 

[Chance Hale]

Finally found something to spend my GMG credit on, looking forward to replaying this although it's a shame the After Years content isn't there. DS version was actually hard instead of a cake walk like the PSP release though and the thought bubbles were a neat addition.

Does SGSSAA not need bits like III?

FF5 and FF6 have already received IOS/Android ports, those are likely to happen in the not to distant future (whether you like the artstyle or not however...) FF9 won't be getting a port anytime soon for the same reason why we didn't get a modern port of FF7 and 8... The source material is all gone. FF9 never got an initial PC port to be frankensteined into near living like it's older brothers and I'm sure there are legal reasons why they can't just emulate the PS1 releases.

Hmm you seem to be forgetting about ffv which is almost as good as vi and better than iv

Nope, didn't forget it. FFV's story (IMO) is a mix of hot and cold garbage and I didn't find the job system particularly rewarding from my full playthrough or any of my subsequent 2-3 partial playthroughs.

 

[Chance Hale]

Do the battle scenes run at 15 FPS for anyone else? Dropping the resolution doesn't seem to change anything.

 

[ColonelSkills]

Does this version have the DS stuff in it, like the map exploration to items stuff and all that jazz?

 

[Starwolf_UK]

Are 15 fps battles legacy from the DS?

*prays for Final Fantasy Humble Bundle*

I can see as part of those awful daily bundles experiment a while back:
PWYW: Lightning wallpaper collection
$10: FFVIII+III
$25 FFVII+IV
Maybe throw in after years as beat the average or something...

 

[Unai]

Yes.

 

[Caffeine]

bought it with 20% off code at gmg for 12.80

 

[PigzFly]

A few screenshots from early on. Really like the crisp low poly look.

Despite the resolution settings being 1920x1080, it still adds bars on the side. Not sure why that's happening.

 

[jett]

Oh dear lord the battles run at 15fps. WHY.

 

[Aeana]

Oh dear lord the battles run at 15fps. WHY.

Yeah... it'd be really cool if someone could fix that, but I don't expect anyone to bother.

 

[Corpekata]

On the game's forums there's people finding stuff on the steamDB that shows that they're working on patching the battle FPS, so hopefully it's not too far off.

 

[jett]

I have no hope for the XIII port now. If it's not 30fps locked I'd be surprised.

 

[Orin GA]

So Rydia + Stardust Rod + Item Lore + Limit Break =

Hacked one on my second play thru. God dam! All in one turn

I hope so! Would be great to implement it before I get it

 

[Orin GA]

Proto Babil is insane, now that you are limited to one limit break per game. Had him halfway to death, when he did divine judgement 3 times in a row.

 

[WrenchNinja]

Is there any way to fix the framerate in the game?
