I think so too, and it has saved my ass already. I have a habit of ragequitting RPGs when I die to a boss and realize I haven't saved in a while, and I've died twice so far already, very early into the game. Once in Evil Forest
I didn't abuse trance as much as I could and I forgot that you could throw a potion at Garnet inside the plant thing

Great tips quoting for later.
Bad design decision. There are 3 trigger buttons with nothing assigned to them in battle but still, we have to pause to use the ''enhancements''. Right now the only Final Fantasy released that did the fast forwarding right was the PSP version of FF IV.

I never go for the 1000 jumps too lazy.
Got to 100+ and stopped so ended at 109
Also can confirm that the custom resolution of 1574x1080 works on Nvidia.
Only problem is this will only work on my desktop, and not my laptop as well (Nvidia optimus doesn't let you make custom resolutions I don't believe).
Will have to see if the Intel output driver supports a similar thing through the official drivers but I doubt it.
But yea it does work. Silly that it's not just a toggle.

I used 1440x1080 and the gray bars appear at the top.
Black bars on the sides, gray bars at the top.
Yea, apparently they thought that was a good idea..... toggles, Square... toggles.... solves everything

Try clicking the exclamation mark with a mouse. Just put it on auto click or something, you can't miss by clicking too early or too late. At least that's what I read earlier.
I refuse to play this until someone develops a jump-rope cheat!
I spent an hour trying different click speeds in AHK, even trying my built-in mouse macro program to no avail. Vivi always gets caught slippin'.

Analogue has been working fine on the Steam Link.
Oh, I will try this. Thanks.

Analog is working for me via Xinput and DS4Windows.
But the issue the movement is only 8-directional whether you use the D-pad or analog through Xinput (or anything else since it's not a Xinput limitation).
Unlike the PS version which you get to actually have decent analog movement. The PC version also doesn't discriminate the analog push between half and full tilt for walking/running which is really dumb, which makes the field controls better on the PS version..... from 16 years ago.
They didn't fix FF7 or FF8 PC with this either though, so there is little hope anyway. FF7 is a little understandable since the original never had it, but FF8 or FF9 on PS1 both had full analog stick control support.

Yeah, this is the problem. Apparently the mod above fix it.

OK cool I will try it then, I didn't get the impression of whether or not it was fixing it when I skimmed over it.
potatohead

No it does not fix that. Still limited to 8 directions on the analog stick, and no tilt sensitivity for running or walking.
These are limited by the game itself, there is an option in the menus for always walk/run for example, and tilting more while "walk" is default doesn't make the character run.
As I thought earlier it probably just updates Xinput to a new version or something.

I just installed and tested the mod and it doesn't do anything of the sort, which isn't surprising because it only replaces the xinput library rather than any file that would contain controller logic.

That's what the mod says though anyway, just updates the Xinput library.
We'll see I guess.
Is there anything that fixes it for FF8 Steam? Has been out much longer....

On the subject of the analog stick, there is an instance where it works as intended. When you bring up the large world map, the cursor you use to highlight key locations uses full analog. Just not anything else, so far.
Cloud sync seems to be manual. You need to do it from the main menu.
(I actually prefer it this way, for the same reason I prefer manual save slots over the one-slot auto-garbage that most open world games do nowadays)

It's the same mod that is talked couple posts above yours. It does not really fix the issues with directional movement.

Yea, I already tried to explain what is meant by the differences between the original's true analog control and this digital-only control...
I don't think people are understanding what we mean but oh well.
One day, one day.

Does not fix xbox one controller, sadly.
PS - strange, i can't use nvidia DSR with this game, set 4k and it still renders at displays resolution (1080p)
I did concede in my post that the backgrounds let the visuals down somewhat. Can much really be done with them though? Is there sufficient detail there to upscale, I assumed they'd all need to be redrawn so I didn't expect much on that front. Compared to the 7 and 8 ports though I feel this one really holds up much better on a large HD TV.
Yeah, tried it now, it does nothing :S

Thunder Slash was fixed in the PAL version all those years ago, so you'd assume that it was fixed in this release.
Then again, with Square who knows.
Someone here mapped them with a Steam controller a few pages back, I don't think it's possible with any other controller.
The button to learn ability fast stopped working for me.
I push it, I select yes when it asks for my confirmation, but it doesn't work, also no star appears in the lower right.
Also I just completed the Hunt defeating Vivi and Freja but no achievement.
EDIT: This is not a bug, the italian translation is wrong actually. It's like "Beat Vivi during the Festival of the Hunt" while you need to let him win. Bah, who cares, but this sucks anyway, SE can't really do a proper italian translation.

Absolutely disgusting.
It's nice to be able to see her face without it constantly shifting around.

Sorry for the lazy question, but is this worth a buy if I have the disc copy and usually emulate it? I looked through the steam forums and there seems to be a lot of bickering going on about good/bad port. I don't care about the boosters, but is anything significantly different otherwise that I should know? Skipping the battle intro sounds good, but the new textures, are they anything we haven't been doing for years with emulation and humping graphics up to 4k resolutions?
Probably my favourite game of all time and more than happy to buy again and again and again, as long as I'm getting.. well anything. Right now I'm thinking at least it should be stable? Although emus seem fine I always felt like you never quite know when it might shit itself.
EDIT: sod it, I bought it again, see what happens. I fuckin love this game.

If this version can be modded, it will become the absolute definitive version of the game, and will do full justice to it.
Currently, it has good looking characters and hideous backgrounds, as well as annoying interface.

I've been having that problem too. Try unplugging and replugging your controller and then tab out and back in. That fixes it for me.
It's a borderless windowed game. DSR does not natively work with it. You have to set your desktop res to 4k, then select 4k while in launcher to get it to work.
Start the controller after you start the game (not the launcher, the game), that works for me.
PSX emulation still deals with the vertex jittering. That alone makes this port a lot more tolerable for me at high resolutions.
Backgrounds, etc I can deal. Not really all that fussed and I'll take that over PSX jitter augahfdjsdjf.

I wrote a program to do the jump rope thing but for the life of me I can't get passed 133. I may need more resolution than milliseconds to get the timing right.

I don't think that's quite the problem I'm having. I think it's the C++ Sleep() function that i'm using doesn't necessarily hold to the exact delay you give it.
