Final Fantasy IX PC/Mobile |OT| How did the source code survive?
- Thread starter Xanonano
- Start date
FF8 had analog support.
Same here. I'll give it the 90 min I can still play before I can't refund anymore, try if it's playable with just the mouse or possibly a m+kb combo, but if not, I'll refund for now.
Just ridiculous. I really don't think I'm even expecting much at all from the port with this, d-pad and stick movement should always be two separate things.
That's not even possible.
90% of the places in the game are ANIMATED.
So basically you're asking modders to make a full game from scratch. Like that's gonna happen.

Ahh, well I didn't at the time.
Thinking about it, I can't even remember when I switched to a DualShock, or where I even got one from. Did it come with a game? I doubt I'd have got one seperately..

Cards prices are still ridiculously high but it's expected.

First time I'm playing the game without PS1 polygon jitter (emulation can't fix that). That already makes it so much more nicer looking.
There's just a handful there and they're not even animated or layered. I can say it's simply impossible.

Someone wants to waifu x2 all the backgrounds and mod them into the game?
At least cheatengine's speed hack seems to work with the game.
Which really doesn't matter cause holy shit, how is it even possible for the mouse controls to be so unresponsive? Have to click twice or thrice all the time for it to register
So it's either get used to d-pad controls or go back to original now

You could do that in the original. Grey or blue.

Definitely grabbing this tonight, even though just like FF7 I know I'll end up buying it once again when it releases on PS4.
This is a pretty good filter! It reconstructs details without adding annoying fake sharpness and contrast.

The fact that FFIX is my favourite final fantasy makes me want to triple dip on this so bad.

Can someone confirm that using the touch screen works on a Surface Pro 3? I want to play the entire game in tablet mode.

Anyone tried to play this with an XBone controller? The slightest press of a button registers it as a double input.
Thinking I might have to play this on the keyboard

20% off the already 20% off?
Oh why did they use the mobile UI? So they ported the game for iOS and Android and then spent 2 months getting that version to work on PC.
Might just hold off until I see mods people come out with...
edit: And no option to just increase battle speed a little bit more? No intro is nice, but having to turn the boost on/off all the time... eh.
I thought the Cloud Data option was to sync with Square Enix servers, but it looks like that's just how you activate Steam Cloud, which is dumb.
Do I really have to go there and "upload" my saved data every time (which is just copying the file to the appropriate folder) in order to have Steam Cloud sync it?

YES BITCH YES!

Not much to be done on that, though they cold have used a higher quality upscaler.
Are there too many overt issues?
Every other FF does it automatically. I've reinstalled a few and my saves were there.
Is there any indication as to when it auto-saves, or is it literally just between screen changes in the strictest sense possible? Doesn't auto-save, say, between fights or anything like that?
Depends on the player, really. It's not a terrible port - seems to run fine, controllers work to some extent etc. It's just the smaller things. Ugly and bloated mobile UI, unresponsive mouse controls, controller analog stick acts as another d-pad rather than an actual analog stick, seen some reports with people having problems with their controller's triggers cause the game doesn't realize they aren't digital on/off inputs. Stuff like that. Might turn you off, might not.
Personally I think I'll just try and get used to playing with a keyboard. Fuck you Silicon whatever Thailand etc, but IX is so good I'm willing to overlook this stuff, at least for now.

I can confirm that it doesn't work well--at least not natively. Right-click is your cancel button, which is cumbersome to perform on a Surface. There is no way to open the menu or press any other buttons. However, you can pair AutoHotkey with something like Artdock to create button overlays that execute keystrokes. Moving about, interacting with NPCs, and selecting things in combat (and the menu, if you can open it) works well, though.
Less of a hassle to just plug in a controller, though.
Thanks! Grabbed a copy there.

Yes. I got it for 13 bucks.
This needs to be a thing :/ .
I can't let people say "it looks awesome" when it literally looks like vomit currently.
That looks horrible. Why would anyone play like this?

Oh god that's atrocious. Ruined how the game looks.

How in the world people would prefer that to the current version?
Stretched image is atrocious.
This is incorrect (as someone who works in dev). Design docs are rarely up to date and there's a ton of Devils in the details.

I had relatives who would watch TV like this when widescreen first came out because they didn't like black bars.
It's ridiculous!

well I dont like playing stretched im in 4:3 but some people in steam forums wanted it lol
I don't understand what's holding up SE. The Android/iOS port of Tactics has been in circulation so long, it should be relatively painless to port it over to PC with mouse+controller support
I'm wondering if they messed with some stuff (didn't pay attention to details), or maybe I'm imagining but I feel like my steal rate is a bit too good
Took me 15-20 tries to get Mage Masher, so it's not THAT much better at least lol

I got it (and the other items) on my first try and that made me suspicious, so I guess I just got lucky then, lol.

Let me know if you still say that after getting the Fairy Flute.

What's the best way to play this? Controller or K+M?
My xbox one controller seems to be too sensitive for this game. I slightly press A and it registers twice the input.

I think, and I am assuming here, that you are on Windows 10 and are experiencing the Win 10 XB1 controller bug.

Is there a sensitivity bug on W10?
