so it will cost 6 bucks more than the PSN version and is a straight port of the PC port of the PS1 version. it won't be 'remastered' or anything it's still the same game you played 20 years ago

it's like some kind of final fantasy mobius strip

for the incredible price of $0 you could just mod FFVII on PC to not look like poo poo, it's actually really easy.

I have never played FF7 all the way through. I was too busy beating Wild Arms at the time which is a far superior game. Thanks for reading!

It's just a port of the PC version, which is to my knowledge the best you can get "officially" (aka not emulating)

has anyone done a high resolution remake of all the backdrops. i feel like there's enough obsessed fans out there to collaborate and do it.

There's a fan remake going on where they got offended by Cait Sith being goofy and made a new character called Iskariot.

If you manipulate the last part of the title, you get Final Fantasy IIV, which isn't a real roman numeral, which signifies Cloud's status as a false entity.

Unlike FFXV, 7 contains women characters, which are more expensive to render.

so why not make the next game a remake of 7 instead of final fantasy 16, and earn a heap of money

actually i hope they don't because they'll make it gay like advent children or something

Largely true but FF9 has some 3D thing though and it was a good game, probably the best

Yeah, FF9 is probably the game that legitimately "needs" a remake on this point. Or 8 if they ever feel like getting rid of the ridiculous way to instantly break the game through the card game... which would then kind of make 8 awful so that should just never happen.

And hey Metacritic says 9 is the best, so it may even be objectively the best. Sakaguchi is a wise man.

FactsAreUseless
Feb 16, 2011

I would kill for an FF9 remake, since it's my favorite in the series.

Edit: I love FF9 and FF12, but they have the exact same problem, which is that the ATB doesn't actually work. In 9, the ATB is basically meaningless since it keeps loading during animations, and all the spell animations are really long. So what you actually have is an FFX-style queue of turns that it doesn't show you, which makes healing a little annoying. FF12 only allows one spell on screen at a time, but characters can still attack, so casting magic against a powerful physical attacker will get you killed, since it will attack through your spells, but you can get extra hits on magic-using enemies by casting a spell with a long animation and having two other characters attack the whole time. So in both cases, the ATB is totally meaningless. FFX has some issues, but at least it understood that the ATB was pointless and just made things genuinely turn-based (and showed you the turn order).

Blue mage quality is how you determine the quality of a Final Fantasy game and Quina is pretty far up there.

gently caress. Yes. I like how they try to make the gender ambiguous but then break the secret by Zidane's "protect girls" ability not work on Quina. It's clearly a dude, something with that tongue can't be a chick that's just science.

I didn't really like Kimahri though, and I kinda liked FFX so I dunno. I never really used him and there was that Kimahri only battle and was quite :aaaaa:ed by it coming on all of the sudden but I don't think it was that hard anyway

Quistis is the poo poo too tho

Oh no they didn't remaster the game and add a bunch of useless crap like DS ports, they just re-released the game that people know and love.

At least on the android version of epsxe, click the back button to open the menu, then click Toggle Frameskip or whatever it's called. I assume it's also called "frameskip" rather than turbo or fast forward on the PC version.

And yeah, it helps.

PSX emulation is really bad. If you need fast forward and don't care about it being keyboard only or care to set up antimicro, it's in the GPU settings of GPU plugins for ePSXe/PCSX

pSX has it in the the option and i think it defaults to tab
