The mobile's UI on FFIX isn't even that bad it's just scaled way too large for PC. Make the UI & Text Boxes like 50-60% smaller and it would be perfectly fine.

most importantly, can you still change the window colour to blue, as it should be?

Yes, you can. This seems like a fine, if maybe not perfect, port.

Oh, and to confirm now that I finally finished downloading it, yeah it looks like the port was cooked in Unity, lotta C# poo poo and Mono libraries. They probably took the original assets and then subcontracted that thai company to rebuild it from the ground up  Though it kinda begs the question why it didn't have a simultaneous launch since you can basically just click "compile for windows," but maybe they scaled some things up. I guess they offer different resolutions and window ratios, too. Fur20 fucked around with this message at 22:50 on Apr 14, 2016 |

 also the game is 2x as big as it needs to be because it has the entire game in a 32bit folder and a 64 bit folder

I never liked FF9's font but it's always a shame when mobile folks don't even try to match the style or fidelity of the text to anything surrounding it

That's actually an FMV with an overlaid character model for Vivi and that ticket that then snaps into in-game assets once the pan has finished. It looks fairly seemless on the PSX's 320x240 resolution, but obviously doesn't work at higher resolutions with the original FMV asset.

Panic! at Nabisco posted:Oh, that's...that's not good. No, that's a consequence of not being able to upscale the FMV. That's from the very beginning where the original game did a visual trick of syncing a couple sprites to their position in an FMV so it could give the illusion of a seamlessly transition between movie and gameplay, but it only works when your active models are the same resolution as the ones in the video.

Panic! at Nabisco posted:Oh, that's...that's not good. Those NPCs are part of a prerendered cutscene, there's no way to fix that. By far, the most impressive thing about the port are the HD cutscenes, really appreciated. Now... is it just me, or is something wrong with the sound quality? It's... not as clear as it should be.

also you cant even have non-filtered backgrounds which is something ff7 can do and which would make everything a lot less jarring since you could just play it at 480p and have it look normal BUT NOPE

Ok my bad, I was wrong. The skip battle intro option does cut out the panning, only for random encounters, but it just loads on a black screen for as long instead.  The game performs absolutely no better than I gather it did on PS1.E: Seriously SE stop outsourcing ports of beloved games to the lowest loving bidder.

Obviously this is something that's probably gonna vary from person to person to PC to PC, but the battle load times do feel a mite faster to me. It's not an enormous reduction, but I've sat through some long ones on the PSX. The pan over the battleground is the same, but the blurring colors, fade to black, and fade out of black are all much snappier on my end than they've ever been before. I still have memories of getting into random encounters and staring at a black screen with the music over it for three-to-five whole seconds, so the port is comparatively light on its feet. Not big on the new UI, but I'll deal. The new naming screen bugs me more, honestly. On the whole, though, I'm satisfied.  I must've logged a minimum of 200+ hours into this game over the years and I only ever realized today that the conductor has a little mustache.

So this is a thing that should be easily solvable with GPU drivers or GeDoSaTo, but what is up with the lack of antialiasing options for the 3D geometry? It just makes it stand out even more from the blurry backgrounds.

The sound quality bothers me so, so much, it sounds stupidly compressed compared to the PS1. Like nails on a chalkboard to my ears.

Been awhile since I've done a challenge, any fun ones people have thought up recently? Thinking about FF9 Live off the Land (so no Chocographs) or maybe FF4 solo Rosa (ahahahahaha) or whatever else would be entertaining to stream. Also realized a Salty Bet version of the Dragon's Neck Coliseum would be amazing.

Just picked up the Final Fantasy 9 PC version and so far I really love what they did with the graphic upgrade. The pre-rendered backgrounds are fuzzy but that's to be expected. But the character models are great.

Or you can do FFVIII No Junction if you want to be slightly masochistic.

So I've cruised through FFVII without much trouble or doing the extra stuff and now the final boss is wrecking me with Shadow Flare. Played a bit of FFIX and the game is very charming.

What I love about 9 is how charming it can be and also how deep it can get. It was the first game that really got into the nitty gritty of dealing with death that I ever played. Just wait to you get to the black mage village.

It was just so jarring after Triple Triad to have a game full of random chance elements, with little to no tutorial beyond "put cards here and use arrows to capture" and very few tangible rewards in the end. (even if the tangible rewards were a mixed blessing for FFVIII's already questionable game balance)
