That's my issue, the upscaler seems.. like the wrong choice.
I booted it on emulator to be sure, but just regular scaling like 2x or 3x looks better...
Once waifu2x/3x or BRZ... pretty sure there was an even more advanced BRZ one too. Super-xBR I think.

The camera just pans over your party and the monster a few times.

I am on windows 10 but it's the first time I'm experiencing this. Are you as well?
Wow so they took that out? That would the game so much better. Levelling up was a chore mainly due to the time it took for the camera to do that every time.
Might need to buy this version then later since I just finished it on vita.

Do you think this game will be playable with just 1.5 GB of RAM?

I'm not, but others in here/on Steam forums are in the same boat as you. Seems to be a driver problem.

Grabbed this on GMG with the code. Hopefully I don't regret it (port quality, not the game).
Can't redeem until I get home though.

Awesome. I played maybe the first couple of hours of this a few years ago, but that's the most exposure to it I've had. I think at this point it's the last non-MMO Final Fantasy I haven't spent any time with.
Bought. Won't be able to dive in until after the weekend, but I am extremely keen. Those speed boosters look like a great idea too.

Is there any footage of high speed mode?
Go to any YT video, change the playback speed to 2x, imagine it's even faster than that and the music isn't messed up
Pretty much that, lol

I don't like how fast it is doing that. I'd really appreciate gameplay footage.
Just played this game on epsxe last fall but quit around disk 3. It was MUCH better as an adult than I remember as a kid. I didn't even have trouble with the slow battles, I think that problem was overblown. Either way I guess it's fixed now.
Tempted to buy this but I think I got all I need from the last run. Disk 1 and 2 are masterpieces, but I think it drags a bit after that.

Welllll, if you'd asked a few hours sooner I could have captured some stuff. Neck deep in work right now. Sorry.

It's really not. The load times are really bad as well.
FF7 and especially 8 are crisp in comparison.
So this is a quality port on PC then? Awesome.
That's how I've been playing it, the de-blur mod is amazing, the new tiles for the world look great and the new sprites don't look so bad when they look like actual sprites and not blurry messes.

Something related to Beatrix probably.

Usually I'm not a fan of these kind of filters but that looks pretty damn good. I hope the backgrounds are actually editable like that

<3 square shoulda added the filter to all their backgrounds themselves.
by the way, what exactly was the hold up after the iOS version?
Should've been an option, but a lot of purists aren't fans of upscaling filters.
Porting time, and Square doesn't like to drop all platforms at once because they want you to double dip. Same reason you'll be waiting a bit for the PS4 version.

I hope the PS4 versions doesn't have quite the release gap of FF7.
Heck, who knows if FF8 is coming first or something.

Probably. They might just not have tested it on anything weaker. It's not uncommon, though it's usually something that indie games do, not publishers like Square Enix.
Can always refund it if not.

I found a video of turbo mode and I'm not a fan of it.
I'm not a fan of the whole "it looks like everyone has haste on" look.
More than that, I always play Final Fantasy's on Active at the highest speed. Playing active, highest speed with turbo mode isn't what the game is designed for.
Square Enix had one job: fix the slow battle transition load times and make the battle system no longer slow as molasses.
Instead, they've only given us a half measure that doesn't satisfy everyone.
Square Enix: "Half assing since 2003. Our games take ten years to make and we can't even do HD ports of our classics right."

Everyone has different tolerances of course, but people were acting like the game wasn't worth playing because of the battle speed. That is overblown imo.
The whole thing only came to my attention through GAF.
You aren't wrong. I've just been playing vanilla though on iOS and it's pretty good. I wish MFi worked day one though.

The game has set a new record for most concurrent players among other FF games, according to steamspy. Even VII and VIII, let alone XIII, did not have such a welcome on release day.
Here's hoping for Tactics and X/X-2 next.

It's definitely worth playing but it's a massive flaw. I think it could be a top five Final Fantasy with proper optimization. Without it, I think it's a mid-tier FF. It is an absolute chore to play sometimes.
This uses whatever assets the IOS is using.
It's a PC port though.
The scaling on the background looks like vomit, we are hoping it can filtered and modded.

It's SE. What do you think this is?
Got it for $13.50 from GMG. Probably should have waited till summer sale since I won't get to it for a while, but what the hell, love this game.
I dunno what you were expecting after I told you exactly what it looked like.
Besides, I don't see anyone complaining about this
just kidding, IZJS was never released in the west, so of course no one complained about it ehehehe
