Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Yeah, the price is a bit of a disappointment but pretty understandable since it's the same price on iOS, Android, Steam, and Playstation 4.
I wish this were getting a physical release (even if it was $29.99). Shelling out $21 for he digital download is a hard pill to swallow.

The most surprising part is that it's a Play Anywhere title. Nice. (Even though I already have the PC version on Steam)

No at that price. Now if it was a physical version then maybe.

I have tried to play this game so many times. But I absolutely hate the character designs (except for Vivi). Like, they're just so damn bad. =_=

Ugh I hate myself, I just bought it too. I've bought this game so many times, but I feel like if I don't buy it on Xbox, Square will continue to ignore it.
The play anywhere feature is nice though, hopefully the specs are low enough that I can play it a bit at work, when I have some downtime.

The designs are indeed horrible, but personality-wise I found them to be probably the best cast in a mainline FF game. They are genuinely likeable and have some great interactions. Very touching ending as well.

I can't belive it I am playing a 3D Final Fantasy on a Nintendo machine!
So far it's a wonderful presentation. Cutscenes have been upscaled tho still at 30fps (seems like this was original render) and character models all look nice and sharp, but the last version I played was the original release.

I guess maybe Final Fantasy V might be coming to Switch?
That's really weird. Those images are of the ugly ass mobile version. FFV on Switch would be great, but not that version.

What's the high speed mode? Can you toggle fast-forward on and off? Loved this game back in the day but the battles are just way too drawn out.

hi speed mode and instant levelling and skipping encounters can all be accessed via the pause menu
Configs menu is spare but thankfully has a "skip battle camera option"
damn Switch is the ultimate RPG machine

So far I have to say the game is as good as I remember it, but it has some glaring performance issues (at least on Xbox X) that shouldn't exist for a game so old.
It was tolerable for the most part, but once I hit the open world the framerate just tanked and fluctuated wierdly as I ran from one area to the next. I keep getting wierd flashes of color on screen changes and going into and out of battle, screen changes seem to stutter for a second before changing screens.
I don't remember these being problems on the PsX or my iPad port. It seems like it wasn't ported with some of the care it needed, or they were aware of the issue and went "meh it's good enough."
Hopefully there will be some patches show up quickly to rectify this, as it has me doubting myself on buying FF7 next month and getting the same results.
Anyone notice anything similar on Switch?

Have they sorted the 2d movement (should be 3d) and music? both are big negatives on the ps4 release for me. If so I'll get it on switch, when on sale.

Was thinking of picking this and the other FF's that are being ported over to Xboxbut I have an X console. Are the drops really bad? I can always get it on the Pro but wanted to get the entire collection on the X.

Better wait for someone to improve the background graphics like with REmake and FF7 with the new neuronal tech that generates more details for low res material.

no, and i don't understand this question.
i got 7 on PC for christmas when it came out and played through entirely. played through entirety of 8 in emulator years later.
never played through IX so this is a treat. all the QOL options like skipping cutscenes/FF/etc. are great to have
Because of this
IX was never released on PC until 2017. So unless you played it *free* on an emulator that sentence confuses me.

I'm playing through FFVII now with the Remako mod and it's been really nice!
