>HD remake of Garnet's ass

...this is considered technically an HD remake right? The comparison photos between this and emulated have a pretty noticeable difference outside of the prerendered backgrounds. Which also look a bit sharper anyway.

If it used the original HD backgrounds that would really be something.

Hopefully it runs better than it did on PSX. But even though it's my favortie FF, I don't think I'll bother buying or playing it again. Happy for those who get to try it for the first time, though.

No, it isn't. A remake implies that they redid the entire game from scratch, not simply port it and bump the resolution a bit for textures.

Would you call the Steam versions of VII and VIII remakes?

>>322947401
Is it really? The backgrounds don't look re-rendered sadly

I hope they've fixed the load times.

Im a little disappointed that they arent adding any content to this game. Not surprised, but I was hoping against hope that there would at least be some gbaff-style end dungeons or some more story for freya and amarant or something. That game was pretty barebones compared to 7 and 8. probably still gonna get it though.

New content would have been the point, but that died with the gameboy advance. Now you can make do with two ancient pc ports and a doctored ps1 game.

>>322948239

Its my favourite too, but every time I go to emulate it I intend to go for a 100% run.

Then I remember fucking everything is missable and I'd have to have a guide open all the time to get everything. Plus the timed special boss which I'd have to do another speedrun just to get.

I love the game but the missables are insane.

With the caveat that I am weird and did not own a console other than Ps2, I find it odd that a new Homeworld is coming out in a mere week but the only buzz on this board (aside from Rift) is pre-orders for FF9.

>>322949759
I dont care how much people love ff9. I have to say this: Fuck that fucking moogle mail thing.

>>322947257
damn, probably it was the less possible FF to get a Steam release, even FFXII had more chance to get a PC port than IX.

>>322950094

Whats not to get, receive mail from one moogle, give mail to another. Unfortunately for you some moogles are permanently missable and some require backtracking before you can really do it easily. If you don't do the whole thing in the right order you can fuck up and never be able to deliver, thus missing out on the stuff you get for it.

At least the chocobo game you can do at the end of the game.

>>322949316
Not just gorgeous, it would be perfect, and without doubt the best version there could ever be. I can't comprehend why they would do anything else. And why wouldn't they exist anymore? Do you really think Square Enix throws stuff like that away? It seems they re-rendered everything for the FFX HD port for PS4.

>>322950613
But the chocobo thing sucked though. It was the laziest "side mission" i had ever seen in a jrpg.

pcucks jizzing over 20 year old games. what's new?

Much faster battles, load times, and native 360 controller support with no hoop jumping, and they have my money.

>>322950674
>It seems they re-rendered everything for the FFX HD port for PS4.

Are you talking about the handful of pre-rendered backgrounds? Because those looked the same to me. Same with the FMVs.

I'm all in for Smartphone generation to play good games but it's really not something to lose your heads over. Play it if you never did but it doesn't look like a port i would recommend. Just emulate the original.

I've been wanting to replay it so hopefully this time the loading screens won't make up about 10 hours of playtime.

I did and they looked exactly the same to me. I mean, they even cropped the FMVs to fit 16:9 screens instead of re-rendering them at that ratio. I'm trying to look for comparisons but I can't.

I replayed it only a few months ago. I only had two major gripes with it, the first being the combat speed, the second being that there is absolutely no way to turn off/decrease the random encounters or the random encounter rate. VI/VII/VIII/X all had ways to do so. With IX you're stuck with it the way it is, and combined with the slow combat speed it could be very annoying.

Otherwise it was still a great game overall.

What's even more retarded is that the Silent Hill collection was released after the Metal Gear collection. In case you don't know, the guys who worked on MGS HD used the original PS2 discs and reverse engineered them to make the new version. Konami could've just hired these guys again to do the same for Silent Hill.

Yeah, I agree.

I've never played FF9 past when you arrive at Lindblum, but it's my 18 year-old little brother's all-time favourite game (he played IX and I played VII.) I always said the game was almost unplayable for me due to how slow the battles were, but I always fucking adored the music and the design, so I'm super stoked to playing it on PC.

IX was a bad Final Fantasy. It had absolutely terrible equipment, skill, and ability systems that allowed no room for players to shape their characters in any way. The trance system going off outside of your control was even worse designed than VIII's limit spamming. The combat was slow and boring and the only interesting mechanic AT ALL was the dynamic between Steiner and Vivi, and it didn't really add anything to the game at all. It had a terribly boring setting that's only praised by "classic fans" because it didn't emphasize sci-fi, completely disregarding that Final Fantasy has used sci-fi elements from the start of the series. Your cast consisted of characters like Freya who were completely forgotten by the plot after their usefulness to the story was up, characters like Quina who basically just showed up whenever the game felt you needed a 4th party member and didn't do ANYTHING of any relevance, and characters like Amarant who I'm still trying to figure out why he was added to the game. The protagonist and antagonist being "space alien grim reaper brothers" is by far the worst plot twist in the series, much worse than either the orphanage in VIII or "You're a dream Teedus" could ever hope to be.

The worst part of all? In a series that's known for its innovation in its genre, Final Fantasy IX bitched out and actively BACKTRACKED to boring, outdated, mechanics. At least the early games it was a callback to were innovations of their time like the ATB system in IV, and at least for the PSX titles VII, VIII, and Tactics all tried to do new things with turn-based RPGs, storytelling, and world building even if it didn't please everyone- whereas IX actively decided to say fuck that, and appeal to idiots who want video games to stagnate.

It was boring and had nothing unique going for it. In fact, nothing about the game is particularly memorable. It has no sense of identity for itself and just takes after previous titles.

>The protagonist and antagonist being "space alien grim reaper brothers" is by far the worst plot twist in the series
Zidane should have been the main villain of FFIX, after all Zidane was designed to be an "Angel of Death" to be send to Gaia to incite war and destruction just like Kuja was. The game could have progressed pretty much the way it does now all the way to the "you are not alone" scene where Zidane would now pick up his intended role and the rest of the party would have to beat him, Kuja and Garland up to save both Gaia and Terra from them.

Also to fags that believe that Zidane and Garnet live happily ever after after the events of FFIX:
Kuja is an Angel of Death genome, created with the sole purpose of funneling souls to Terra by sowing warfare. As such, he's given powerful combat abilities and installed with a life limiter in case he turns traitor. Zidane is created as a replacement for Kuja, for the exact same reason, and it would be fucking idiotic for Garland not to limit him in the same way. The only evidence for him not having a life limiter is Garland telling him he doesn't, in the same speech when he lies about two other things, and is aware Kuja went off the rails when he found out about his limiter, so the smart thing to do would be to lie. Garland has a replacement unit for Zidane already lined up and ready to go. Assuming the limiter kicks in at the same age, and taking Kuja and Zidane's ages into account, the maximum Zidane has to live post ending is around 3 years.

Finally the entire theme of the game is that nothing lasts forever, it's seen in Vivi, Terra, etc.

The amount of effort involved in putting together HD backdrops for the entire game would be massive. They would need to scour Square's archive for the artwork used in every single scene, which would take a great deal of time and manpower. Considering that it has taken them this long to find and fix the source code alone, that would be a monumental effort. Furthermore, if any backgrounds are missing, it would look terrible inconsistent to even the untrained eye. Finally, remember that this port is coming to mobile first and foremost, and most normies don't care about resolution in modern games, let alone old ones.

The poor scaling is likely just from them doing it in run-time with the PSX assets. That is assured to work on PC and mobile. NNEDI and waifu2x require lots of processing power.
