Peculiar that there's still not a date for this.

If the first reveal was true, then I expect this to come out at the 29th.
I don't mind if they push it to February though. End of January is going to be well-packed for me, with Dragon's Dogma, The Division Beta, and Tomb Raider.

They should release it this week to make up for there being no FFIX characters in Explorers.

I really don't know about getting my hopes up again.

I still believe in this..
Look at the picture posted above. Also, they just added the icon for the game in the database.
Don't know what its worth though...
Yup, Rise is probably the reason of the delay.

Why would that make any difference at all? The re-release of a 16 year old FF game on PC at (presumably) $20 or less isn't going to affect the PC version of a brand new Tomb Raider game at full retail price.

On the other hand I doubt a RPG from the year 2000 will be competiting with a brand new AAA action game. FF fans will buy it sooner or later.

SEGA released Binary Domain close to Mass Effect 3.
It's not because other games are releasing on Steam; is the iOS ver. even out yet? Generally the iOS version releases followed by Steam release.
They're still working on the game, and honestly S-E putting better effort on their PC/Steam releases is something I'm happy to have the take as much time as they need.

edit: Will update post. They're playing the mobile version obviously.
- "Silicon Studio Thailand"
- Intro playing at 4:3 pillarboxed, so yeah, FMV confirmed for not being cropped.
- Continue, New Game, Load Data, Cloud Data options on title screen.
- Hard to tell from Youtube stream, but I'm at least 90% sure FMVs are running at a higher resolution than original PSX encodes.
- Interface elements are definitely higher resolution than PSX. Font and dialogue boxes both.
- Combat UI doesn't scream "mobile" nearly as much as FFIII/FFIV/FFV/FFVI mobile.
- At least more-than-50% sure that combat is still low FPS, and this isn't just something from the stream quality, as out-of-combat FPS is greater.
- FMV-background transitions are just as janky as FFVII/VIII PC, no surprise there.
Uh. Okay?

I wish the sides were just black instead of this texturing. It's better than the blue they've used other times though.
Very much agreed.

Those points are called magic stones. The screenshot shows "LV/Magic Stone Max" which isn't quite what you want but similarish.

How long did it take for the previous mobile ports to receive an UI mod? The battle UI in the stream looked way too big for me.

The game looks so clean... Oh my beloved FFIX <3
Because I want to get rid of all difficulty and ruin the experience for myself with a game I most certainly haven't played and finished like a dozen fucking times already with no cheats or such
Lol
It's fun to mix things up. It'd be fun to see how strong you'll be by the end of the game if there are no restrictions to which abilities you can equip. I've more or less 100%'d the game twice or thrice too already, anything to make the experience different is welcome.
"Additional Features
・Achievements
・Seven game boosters including high speed and no encounter modes.
・Autosave
・High-definition movies and character models."
Yup! This is right on the steam store page.
*edit*
beaten.
those boosters lol
So only these 3 boosters are permanent right?
Edit: The load time for the battle is still atrocious, I hope this changes with high speed mode.

What a good stream. What a great game.
Someone said they were playing on mobile too, I'm sure the load times are much better on PC
Or, you know... I hope they're better on PC lol
Duh.
2016 standards of porting vs first PC ports they ever made.... Wonder which will be more polished.
