Basically is it too dated at this point tonbe thouroughly enjoyed

Just fucking play it

>>382127328
>buy first
>ask second

nice job

Yeah it's still worth playing. On PSX or emulated.

Its one of the best games I've ever played. Play the game before they bring the shitty new one out and you accidentally play that and fuck the game up for yourself.

Does the Steam version still use midi?
What about the Ps4 version?

Go for it, it's pretty fun and has lots of content

Play the game and enjoy it for what it is and does rather then trying to label it out of the box.

>>382127328
Play it.
What did you buy, the PS1 version for PS3/PSP/VITA or the PS4 version?

it's a great game. great music, interesting story, the materia system is fun
the only huge downsides the game has are the awful graphics, the bad translation and the huge exposition dumps early in the game (which is really only bad on repeat playthroughs because you know it already)
ignore all the dumb "casual" features you mentioned, a lot of them would be straight up cheating and the game isn't hard enough that you would feel the need for it
speeding up combat and stuff is mostly for people who do hardcore grinding

i'm pretty sure the steam version had the mp3 quality soundtrack patched in. if it didn't there's an easy to install mod that adds it anyways
the ps4 version would just be an emulation of the ps1 version which doesn't have the midi soundtrack

Im 21 and am playing through the same version for the first time.
I love it so far. Most of the background designs are beautifully painted like in old movies with matte paintings. The battle system is fun but straightforward, and overall the plot is good too. Nothing mind-blowing but makes you want to know what will happen next.
I use the speed up feature only when I die st some part and want to skip through easy shit that would bog me down otherwise. Dont use any other features.

I heard it was the pc version ported to ps4.

Forgot to mention but the music is great

is it? i don't own a ps4. if it is then i have no idea

I played it on ps4 for the first time last year and drop it. I just can't get into it no matter how hard I try. Crazy thing is I played ff9 for the first time a couple months back and love the hell out of it and couldn't put it down till I beat it.

what the fuck is this wall of text even about

you either play it or you dont

With old games, you have to ignore the shittiness and over-emphasize the good, or you'll never be able to appreciate it

I'm replaying it for the billionth time, doing it on steam atm.

It got patched ages back apparently. Uses the right music now.

Zero complaints. Still a fun game.
