I highly doubt Square-Enix would use the uncompressed backgrounds that got leaked on the Internet a while back. I'm expecting a rather low effort port. It'd be nice if the modding community added them in though.

In Training posted:With X/X-2 soon behind it that's all the good FFs on PC, even if some of the versions are lovely mobile ports We're still missing the best one, ie. 12. I wouldn't mind seeing a port of 1 either. Considering 1 and 2 have android ports and that's the source for the PC ports of 3, 4, 5, and 6 I'm surprised that 1 and 2 haven't been ported yet.

FF9 is really charming and cute and suffers mostly for being super fuckin' slow and kind of meandering hard towards the middle.

mandatory lesbian posted:I like cute things, it's actually kinda weird I never played it. 9 is an intentional throwback to the SNES era of Final Fantasy. It's a lot more 'cartoony' than any of the PSX or PS2 games and basically paced somewhat like a lighthearted adventure story. It gets a little into melodrama and Philosophy 101 but not to the excessive degree of the other PS1 games. It's very much built around exploring a wide world full of silly characters and it is absolutely the most lighthearted FF game despite moments of darkness. The combat system is pretty much old-school. Every character is a class and that class can't be changed or modified. Zidane is a thief, Dagger a summoner, Vivi a black mage and so-on. You learn new skills from equipment and that's about it. There are a few twists but they're very minor. (Limit Breaks are now a temporary super form, Vivi and Steiner can do a combo attack, that's about it.) The combat isn't anything to write home about and honestly you'll probably just end up finding a few good moves and spamming them through most fights. The graphics have aged remarkably well for a PS1 game due to the heavy stylization and the soundtrack is pretty excellent. The translation is actually genuinely good for the most part and the core storyline is fun. It suffers largely for having a few extraneous characters who join, have like one or two scenes, and then vanish almost entirely from the plot while remaining in your party. The 'core' team of Zidane, Dagger, Vivi and Steiner basically are the guys the game is about and everyone else is along for the ride.

9 is a perfectly good game and worth playing if you're a FF fan at all. A "warts and all" qualifier does apply since it is from last millennium and it strains under the limits of the hardware of the time. The loading times are bad, there's just no getting around that bit of criticism. Aside from that, though, ImpAtom nailed it. It's a game with charm galore that aims at your nostalgia core but is very much solid even if you don't get the references.

mandatory lesbian posted:I like cute things, it's actually kinda weird I never played it. It's a good game but it came out so late in a generation that PS2 games were what people were looking at by the time they were playing it. It also has almost no customization so it doesn't have a lot of "play this 50 times 50 different ways like some of the other games". It's a really good game but it's a weird thing that maybe could have been some weird side series thing instead of a main numbered title.

Also if 4 was really slow instead of being snappy like the SNES games. Like, it has all the downsides you'd expect from an FF game in 1999 added as well. But it's a good game and worth playing if you haven't.

corn in the bible posted:steal sucks in ff9 but it's ok because zidane is a powerhouse regardless steal sucks so bad. Enemies have multiple items and since you learn skills from equipment you really want to get it all so every boss fight is 15 minutes of hitting defend and steal over and over and over to get some 1/64th chance to get the rare item which because it's 1999 you can't even look online to see if the rare item will be something you care about or an x-potion.

Same exact deal with the 9th Fire Emblem game actually. They're both great but the slow gameplay adds up over time.
