HD towns are hard dude.

Also: "includes the original custom theme designed by Toshiyuki Itahana and eight key characters avatars."

But yeah, daylight robbery.

Is the combat sped up? That was some slow ass combat in the original.

At last, the hugely popular FINAL FANTASY® IX arrives on the PlayStation®4 system with additional features: trophies, game boosters such as high speed and no encounter modes autosave and high-definition!


It still seems to be 10FPS or whatever though.

Was this good? Asking for a friend…

Yes. Nice return to class-based gameplay.

it looks like only Excalibur 1 is required. Excalibur 2 should be easy to get by using the speed up option. still, that is a brutal trophy list. you have to do all the other sidequests, plus tedious bullshit like 100 card games and 1000 times at the jumprope wtf. definitely will need a guide too since there's tons of missables.

there's a speed up option, and other ports let you turn off the super long battle intros that were there to hide loading on ps1.

Only thing that really held FFIX back for me was the battle speed. And the fact that I actually paid for the worst strategy guide in the history of mankind. Haven't played in years and forgot a lot about the scenario, so I'm gonna pick this up. Still wish they had PS1 classics on PS4 tho.

Same. I really enjoyed IX in 2000, but haven't been able to get through to Disk 2 since because of that ATB speed.

This is how they should've ported VII, and VIII too while they're at it.

That's exactly how they ported FFVII...? Unless you mean something else.

Who cares about VIII, it's garbage.

Oui oui, I le did.

I don't think FFVIII had a single redeeming factor.

speaking of ff8:

http://nlab.itmedia.co.jp/nl/articles/1709/19/news104.html

someone found out that if you give omega weapon a potion, he skips a turn. so if you have someone with higher speed than omega, you can spam potions and he'll never get a single turn in! pretty cool.

My major complaint as a teen is obvs fixed now (sooo slooow), but the more traditional steampunk fantasy never really grabbed me either. Will lap up high concept sci fi emo shit all day though.

Like how much faster is it? I loved IX back in the day, I tried to play it again after that, but when I went back to it a few years later I couldn't stand how slow it was.
