In the SNES/PS1 version she keeps the heavy pirate dialect throughout the game even after she leaves the bois, and indeed, the planet, behind

I'm gonna fire up 9 again. I think it's the only game in the series that I've played through start to finish more than once. I've started a lot of them over again and either just loaded an end game save or stopped, but every time I start 9 I just go all the way through. Though I have a feeling Fossil Roo may stop me in my tracks this time. I just hate that whole section soooooo much.

edit:
When I look up screen shots of the Steam version the text boxes and battle display all looks really stupid. Is that how it looks in the actual game?

The steam version looks fine, you get used to it. There's a couple mods out there that improve the music and backgrounds, you'll find them quick. Grab those and it's a totally acceptable port. Easily the best FF port on Steam.

If Trigger is a nice and fun story with that the whole family can enjoy, Cross is the angry teen who spends an evening writing a post on LiveJournal about what REALLY would have happened after the ending

Requisite some of the characters are cool, the music is great, etc.

Still never played any of the Suikodens either hmm

1's fine but it's old and it shows. 2's super good and has a lot of quality of life updates that make it hard to go back and really enjoy 1 in some ways. 3 is a bit of a sprawling mess but if you like one of the three main characters you can choose from you can still have fun. Never played 4 but I've mostly heard bad things. Never played 5 but I've mostly heard good things.

e: 9's pretty good but when it came out I didn't want the nostalgia fest when I'd spent a good chunk of the previous few years actually playing those games. It was too soon, basically.

The models are always going to look a bit out of place on the backgrounds in the Steam version, but I liked these better than the default ones IIRC. Try both ways I guess and see which you like. The audio mod is essential though, do not skip it.

Nope, the originals were lost to time. They did their best to decompress them from the original release. Sprites have been updated and FMVs are in their uncompressed state afaik, though.

I was talking to someone about FF9 and I *may* end up getting it on Steam if there is ever a sale. Mostly because I was told there is a mod that fixes the Steal System.
Last time I tried to play FF9 on an emulator, I searched for an hour for a code that would increase Steal Rate, but alas.

Between that, and the manual Trance, I'm fairly sold on it.

At first I was like no way, that sounds like an easy rear end code to hack on the ps1 but yeah apparently the only code for it is buggy as hell :psyduck:

13 literally torpedoed all good will I had for the series. Like in one swoop it ruined Final Fantasy for me. I was on the cusp because I didn't like 12, but still forced my way through most of it, but 13 just ended all of it. I don't know if I'll ever buy a Final Fantasy game again since they aren't really making the same kind of games that got me to like the series to begin with.

square should take a note from nintendo and cash in on people that like the old style games. do a "Final Fantasy Maker" and just rip off RPG Maker but include all the art assets and premade monster/item files from FF1-6. i'm sure someone would buy that

the problem is that mario maker, you can do in a couple hours. if you're gonna do FF Maker, that could take months... years. way too long for a console-maker community to sustain itself.

Plus with a FF maker you'd want to write text to tell a story which is something that the internet will pervert immediately.

A final fantasy maker type game with a multiverse plot line and character(s) you could carry over and level in people’s created dungeons would be cool as hell. Probably really tough to make though.

XV is the first Final Fantasy I've completed since X. It's a good game. It's just super, super unfinished.

Like I've said before and will say eternally: it's the MGSV of Final Fantasy.
