Dropped.

>>388721163
How's it even possible to impress all 100?
Do you like have to use different secret inputs, not the ones they're showing on the screen for some more epic battle effects? Or do you just have to react faster?

I bet you hate dragon ball too, you faggot.

Just beat VII as my first FF game, is this a good follow-up? It's more of a fantasy setting, right?

>>388722231
VII was very different from the previous FF games by the time it came out, in more ways than one.
IX is more of a quintessential FF game, combining all of the classic fantasy FF themes in a single game.

>>388722231
This game is more-or-less entirely high fantasy.

Remind me on how this this more fun and less tedious than Drawing in FFVIII?

And yes I'm perfectly aware you don't have to do either of these.

>>388722581
Except you do have to draw, while stealing is optional.
And no, forced mini-game bullshit is not a better alternative.

>>388722581
You don't have to do either of them.

>>388722682
Quickest way to get magic in 8 is to refine. Only drawing GFs is needed really.

>>388721545
You have to do the inputs really fast. I've gotten it once.

>>388722714
It's been like 10 years since I played 8, wtf was refining?

Also, did it have steal? Was it useful at all?

>>388722772
Does NTSC/PAL version make a difference? I've heard Excalibur II was impossible on PAL.

ff9 was meh. Boring and a chore to play, it did nothing new and just felt like a tiresome retread to anyone who had actually played previous games.

The feels, I might buy the remastered game, i just don't want to grind...

>>388722856
I always wondered who the hell would attempt this without emulation. I mean, fuck up a little bit and it could be hours of your life wasted just to try again?

>>388722682
>Except you do have to draw
Refining the useless crap in your inventory to magic is a thing. The only times you should ever use the draw command is to Draw those 5 or 4 GFs from bosses.

>>388722841
Mug was very useful. GFs came with abilities that let you turn an item into a bunch of spells. You can turn tents into curaga for example. I spent a total of about 5 minutes drawing in my entire last playthrough and most of that was just GFs.

>>388721163
The most overrated final fantasy ever

>>388722962
If you don't want any of the special shit, it doesn't require any grinding if you go through the story alone.

>>388722841

You can refine items and cards into spells, getting the best spells could be done by grabbing some items, I just played through and maybe drew a few times other than GFs.

FF8 had Mug, which was essential for getting the above items.

>>388722349
its the steam version
getting 100 really isnt hard, because its also down to how quickly you input the keypresses, as long as youre not a dribbler you should be getting it near enough every time

>>388722841
You transmute various materials into another one. You can use this to get OP magic.

Mug exists in FFVIII. It's useful for beginners.

>>388721163
Is this easier on the PC version?
I got 100 out of 100 first go

Why do people have so many issues with the fencing part, it's easy.

>>388722841
Most GFs could learn a menu skill that lets you refine items into better items, or magic. For example:
>Get Siren
>Teach Siren Life-Mag Refine
>Buy a few tents/cottages at the pet shop in Timber
>Refine them into Curaga before you're halfway through Disc 1
>Walk around with 2k HP at Lv7

Diablo could learn Mug, which was only useful in very select circumstances. Refining Triple Triad cards was much easier.

>>388722856
I don't think NTSC/PAL matters much for the noble minigame. Might be slightly easier on some versions. Excalibur 2 is not that hard even on PAL it's the 100% game with Excalibur 2 that is pretty much impossible.

>>388722856
Let me put it this way, FFIX is already a very slow paced game (and I'm not only talking about the battles here) and the PAL version makes it even slower. PAL version of FFIX is worthless and should be avoided by all costs.

As for Excalibur II it is just barely possible but requires exploits like opening the disc tray at correct moments to skip FMVs.

Man, I was so young when I played 8 the first time, I couldn't really get anything smart done with the junctioning, and ultimecia's castle was a horrid pain.
I don't remember anything of the plot, except all the dumb shit that get's reposted all the time.

Is the game worth another go now that I can actually use the mechanics to my advantage?

Can you still get Excalibur 2 by reaching 100 hours on Steam? I know that was possible on PSX.

>>388723789
sorry I meant overflowing the clock not 100 hours

>>388723789
>100 hours
It's like 2 years. And it probably works on Steam.

>>388723642

Yes, I replayed it recently and it was great.

However, I liked it as a kid as well and it's one of my favourites.

>>388723789
>>388723959
For how long it would take to overflow, it would literally be quicker to start over and try again. Or use a cheat to add it in.

Terrible game, really shows the state of /v/ that it's actually praised here. The average age of posters here has gotten so low that most people actually started with IX, which is why they look upon it so favorably even though it was the worst PSX Final Fantasy and is a bottom-tier entry in the series as a whole.

Seriously, what a blunder of a game.

Final Fantasy IX is the most mediocre FF game.

PROVE ME WRONG

>>388724139
What did you dislike about FF9?

>>388724139
What's so bad about IX?
And how did VII and VIII do it better?

>>388724139
I think I believe you until the last sentence.

>>388724267
I could but you'll just ignore it and keep on going with your claim

>>388724139
In my near decade of being here, the opinion of FFIX has gone down. People now give it shit for some of its flaws, whereas old /v/ used to jack it off as the best PSX Final Fantasy.

>>388724139
If your favorite FF game is anything later than V then you have no fucking right to talk.

Why am I replying to this anyway, you're probably a troll.

>>388721163
Did they change this is the PC version? It only took me like 20 minutes to get it perfect on PC whereas I remember having a lot more trouble with it when I played it on PS3.

>>388724483
Try me. And before you state that I hate FFIX my overall view about FFIX is very similar to this article's:
http://socksmakepeoplesexy.net/index.php?a=ff09

tl;dr version: FFIX is a good but somewhat failed attempt to combine the best aspects of older and more modern FF titles that produced a very average FF game that has very little to offer as far as originality is concerned.

>>388724483
You're not wrong.

>>388725118
>http://socksmakepeoplesexy.net/index.php?a=ff09
Oh god, not that pretentious fuck again.

I really hate FF9's world map. 2 of the 4 continents are basically empty outside of 1 place.

It's technically possible just a bit harder than the NTSC version.

Final Fantasy 9 frames per second

>jumprope minigame

Glad they put this at the very fucking beginning of the game so I spend hours on it because I WANT THE ITEM BEFORE PROGRESSING

Someone should have released a "romhack" to remove both the transition and pointless intro to every single battle

The rest of the game is fine

>>388722856
>PAL
>impossible
Why do people propagate this myth?

>>388726279
You can do it again later on in the game. It's the Hippaul race you can miss.

>>388726107
All the Playstation FF games have shit framerates though

>>388722231
Well the games aren't tied together so you can really go with any game. I'm not going to tell you to avoid any, better that you form your own opinions instead regurgitating memes.

>>388726627
Probably for the same reason people keep posting idiotic fan-theories like Iifa Tree = Necron or any of the FFVIII ones as truth?

>>388722856
PAL runs at 25 fps just like most other pal games did back in the game because of lazy devs.

>>388722856
Legit possible. Friend of mine completed FFIX 12 times in a row when we were still teenagers. He managed to do it on a PAL version and showed me, no weird cheat devices, nothing. I was convinced as well because to be fair, he was a machine at this game. If meth didn't take his soul at this point he might have turned into one of those speedrunners.
