Sorry, but the price is absurd! I'm pretty certain when we got the Final Fantasy VII port on PS4, it was reduced to £7.99. But if S-E is going to continue to sell their digtal titles at £16.99 then I will have to hold out - They did it with Star Ocean 3: Till The End of Time recently as well.

I've wanted this for years as Final Fantasy IX is my favourite game of all time - However! This version is awful!!!

To put it simply, the boarders both left and right break the immersion of the game. Also, weirdly when you save the game and reload, you don't resume infront of the Save Moogle, but it loads the game fron the point you enetered the area...

It's a shame the borders can't be helped. One of the best things about using the vita is that you can't stretch the screen as much as you want to replay the ps classics

Prepel to Mickey_Money

This is because you are choosing 'Continue' instead of 'Load'.
Saving the game will not create a 'Continue' spot in many places - you have to use the correct method to resume.

I am currently playing through this version on android - cloud save lets you load it up on Kodi box if you want the big screen experience.

Square-Enix have always priced Final Fantasy games like this - because it's their most popular series that continues to sell year after year. The PS4 FFVII remaster was the same as this. I had to wait like a year for a half price sale.

PS1 games were made to be rendered in 240p. They've obviously done some work on them already but there's only so much you can do without completely remaking every single bit of art. 240p to 1080p scaling is a monumental difference.

The original art was much higher res, I think the problem is that some of the assets simply don't exist neogaf.com/for…612

That reminds me of the first time I played resident evil on the Gamecube and I was amazed at the graphics then, might of took some loading but the Gamecube was one small powerful console

adam0812 to UltimatePhoenix

I could be wrong but I believe those backgrounds are 900p and are the exact same as those used in the HD remakes, hence why they look a little more pixelated by todays standard.

Remote play with Vita is another plus to owning this. It should also look lovely on that screen.

StrifeyWolf to RickDoyle

Just buy the PS1 version for your Vita, then you can stretch it and not have to deal with the horrible black bars.

Also you will be able to take it anywhere!

True

£17 is steep if you don't have ps plus, still a brilliant game though but I think i'll wait until this drops in price a bit.

RickDoyle to totneschap

20 Sep 17 #57

I wouldn't hold your breath mate. I reckon it won't go below a tenner for years, if at all.

totneschap to RickDoyle

FF7 has dropped below £10 a few times so I'm sure this one will....eventually

Please don't tempt me into buying this. I really look forward to playing more of the PS1 original on my Panasonic TX-G10 TV, the way its meant to be played. I already have the Steam version and i have barely played it, so i won't be buying this one,

I loved this game. I'm abit scared to go near it and ruin it for myself as I've done with so many other fondly remembered games! They're never how you remember them! Kweh!

Cold. You can get this for £3.75 in the steam autumn sale in a few weeks.

It's all time low on Steam is £7.99 so I'll be seriously impressed. Whilst we're in conversation, do you have a guide for playing PC games on PlayStation 4? I'd imagine it'll help a ton of people out.

TIA :smile:

Al7777 to BuzzDuraband

Final fantasy VII and VIII took 3 months after release to reach £4.99 so you shouldn't be impressed. As for a guide (not sure if your autistic or "trying" to be clever), if you don't have a PC that can run a ps1 game I have no idea how you became a editor working on an ancient toaster. Steam is now compatible with the ps4 controller and you can link steam to your tv. The pc version of ffIX is the best version, source - games radar.

"The definitive version: Final Fantasy 9 (PC) Like Final Fantasy 8, there aren't a ton of options available if you want to replay this fondly remembered classic. The best way right now is with the PC version, which includes a handful of boosters and cheat options, along with high-def cutscenes and character models. The pre-rendered backgrounds are still the same and look a bit blurry and washed out when compared to the newly-updated 3D models, but you'd get that regardless of the version you played. Even so, the core gameplay and plot have aged considerably well, and the PC version is a solid port.

What about the rest? The PC port also appeared on mobile devices with touch-specific controls and a condensed UI layout. While I prefer the PC's controller compatibility, the mobile version is a pretty good version if you prefer to use your tablet. If you want to play the original game, you can download it to your PS3 or Vita through PSN, but like FF8, it doesn't include any of the additions provided by the updated release."

Since when has steam been compatible with PlayStation 4. This is a PS4 post, stay on topic.

Hold my beer while I get Chuck Norris to arrive, he'll then hold mine and your beer while you do the skipping for both me and Chuck.

Best get them platinums or else B.A. Baracus will be invited to the party.

Will this look like crap on a big screen?

Prepel to RickDoyle

No.
'HD' models and hand drawn backgrounds.

I'm so happy about this, it has made my day. My first FF game and my favourite.

19 Sep 17 #24

Is this getting a disc release as well?

CBK

19 Sep 17 #21

Best one. I'm tempted but surely "No encounter" mode means its going to be impossible to level up/beat the game later on?

UltimatePhoenix to CBK

Its only a button press, FFVII had it, can switch it on n off easily, its for the long walks through forests n dungeons

Most likely upscaled with trophies like FFVII

Annoying, I bought this on PS Vita but sold the Vita before I got into it. Doesn't count as cross-buy (someone said Vita was PS1 version while PS4 is PC version?!) :disappointed: Not sure I want to purchase again at the moment!
