Bullshit. Bull fucking shit.
I refuse to believe that 1.3% of the owners of FFIX on Steam have actually made almost 1000 consecutively frame perfect jumps (almost because the jumps don’t become frame perfect until about over 100). Back in my day we used Gameshark for that King of Jump Rope item but on the PC port?
I’m not exactly sure how many people bought the port so far. According to SteamCharts the port currently has had a peak of 8000+ players and Store.SteamPowered/Stats/ states that 6000+ users played the game in the past 24 hours (neither of which are accurate as to how many people own a game but I’ll take what I can).
If the 8000+ number is correct than that means over 104+ people did this. That is bullshit. I don't think 1 single person has done so and provided proof.
So where is the cheat, /V/?
auto click
get good
Bro I did this when I was 16 on a CRT. You're must be bad
>>334794679
Almost 100k people bought it.
Which is nice for SE and for us.
>>334794679
It took me three times. Quit wallowing in self pity and just fucking do it. Pussy.
First, git gud. Second, you can just cheat.
>>334794827
Well, no amount of money is going to make squenix good again. The talent has left the building.
I guess it's good if you want pc ports of their shitty modern games.
Autoclick, set the timing to be good and you're set. Also who cares, faggot
>mfw you can skip cutscenes and get Excalibur 2 without trying now

"You're must be bad"
>>334794898
That's true. But at least we can show them that they have made good games once.

>>334794898
>Well, no amount of money is going to make squenix good again. The talent has left the building.

>>334794679
this and the lightning dodge from FFX were my childhood nightmares.

Why do Jap-devs just remove assets?
Like, why not keep the backgrounds? How is it acceptable in Japland to just delete tons of good work?
I don't understand why when we could have had nice backgrounds.
Someone should be angered about this so it might as well be me.
>>334795078
You could manipulate the lightning in FFX by moving towards that crater thing near the inn.
As for the jump rope shit you're screwed.
This is the only main series FF I haven't played.

89k and counting.
>>334795178
it's not JUST a background though
>>334794808
A CRT is better for this kind of thing because of the refresh rate. Even setting your modern TV or monitor to game mode doesn't compare to the way it used to work.
>>334795248
No, but you know what I mean. A good-sized memory stick could have held every background asset in the game but they decided "nah, fuck it"?
>>334794679
You can *literally* just spam the mouse button to get the achivement. The game only detect the clicks that hit the jump icon.
>>334795236
So that means 1157+ people did this.
Fuck me. There must be a way to cheat or something. Auto click could work but I don't know about the speed increases.
>>334795361
>There must be a way to cheat or something
Steam Achievement Manager.
>>334795190
Excalibur 2 was always a meme-weapon.
It was something nice that was left in as an achievement.
>>334795361
Or you could just use Steam Achievement Manager.
Valve doesn't care if people use it.
>>334794679
It's the achievement config shit.
Do you think people got the Excalibur II after 2 hours?
>>334795427
does it work with counter overflow on the pc version?
GET GOOD
>>334795348
Holy shit you CAN mash the mouse button...

Who or what are you benefitting by cheating this though? There's no reward that improves your game. It is literally a test for the sake of testing yourself. Cheating it gets you nothing if it's an activity for the sole sake of personal accomplishment.
My record is 208. I can't fucking do the 200-300 stretch. Oh fucking well. That's me. Cheating is a testament to nothing.

It was possible on PAL but the margin of error you had was insane. It wouldn't be until the internet age that we would learn how to manipulate the game to avoid random encounters. Without that, its very much impossible on Pal unless you gameshark to remove encounters or 1 hit kill things and at that point you may as well just gameshark it into your inventory and be done with it!

According to steam achievements, not even half of the people who "reached" lv 99 beat over 100 monsters.

All you need to do in this game is steal and farm the skills on the new items. If that doesn't satisfy your autisms as it did mine as a perfect run then nothing probably can.
>>334796159
More like citation needed when saying that all their talent left when it's just Sakaguchi that left before the merger happened.
Not sure about Xenodude. Two people. And even after merger there's pretty much just Matsuno who left in 2006 or 2007 I think. Even then he came back for the Tactics Ogre on PSP.
>>334796172

Well, that explains why the Zelda remakes sucked.
>>334796625
You do fucking realise that Nojima, Tabata, Nomura, Toriyama and others were higher ups and worked with him right? He wasn't solely responsible for everything for fuck's sake.

Actually it seems he did have his name on KH for being an "executive producer" but Hashimoto was "the producer".
>>334796560
>Uematsu does contract work for them still, silly.
He really doesn't. The last time he was hired by Square was for FF14, and they replaced all his music in the remake. Thankfully, he can still shine in Mistwalker's titles. The music he composed for Lost Odyssey is his best work since FFVIII, and Square's composers haven't even been close. FF music post-Uematsu is a bad joke.

Actually, he mentored Nomura and pushed him in the direction where the series is today. As a tribute to Sakaguchi, a character was designed based on him in Birth by Sleep.

>>334797303
The game looks a little nicer and they added some new ways to cheat (max gil, max stats, speed up battles, that kind of stuff)
They also nerfed the sword fight minigame in the "I want to be your Canary" play, it is easier to impress all 100 nobles now.
That's pretty much it.

Acting like LO's ost is a big deal is just ridiculous.

>>334797472

It's a lot of fun. Does a good job of recapturing the charm/feel of the SNES titles. Gameplay is a tad slow but at least summons are skippable unlike the other PS games.
I haven't tried the steam port and not sure why anyone would bother getting it when it works fine on an emulator, but I guess telling Square people like these kinds of older games is a good thing.

>>334798151
Well the earliest you can get level 5 death is the Iifa Tree, so atleast you'd be playing it up to disc 3. Game does take a noticeable dive for me during the desert palace thing though, especially Ispen's Castle.
Besides, you can do the same thing in disc 2 just with reflect and Thundara. No need to Level 5 death
>>334798242
Yeah, I'm moving goalposts somewhat. I have a bit of a Hateboner for Sakaguchi solely because people fellate over him as the greatest single person ever who did all those things that he actually didn't do. Most of the time he was just another producer in the pack of dozen other producers.

>>334798408
>>334798473
I got up to the lord vessel without cheating and figured I'd played enough to satisfy myself personally. I wanted to see the rest of the game quickly though so I cheated.
I am sorry if that bothers you.
>>334798324
No, you can definitely get it earlier than that.
IIRC you can get it from whale zombies on an island as soon as you get the boat.
>>334798548
It doesn't really 'bother' me, its more like I'm trying to understand you.
>>334798548

>>334798226
Nope. Leveling is slow as shit. Unless you actively grind, you're not going to be getting those levels. Bosses give no exp. Luckily, AP is all you need, and the equipment is what develops your characters.
>>334798559
The boat, which is disc 3.
Disc 2 ends when Queen Brahne dies and you're still on Outer Continent. The earliest you can get it is from the stropers, the big tree looking fuckers in Iifa Tree.

Aside from FF1-5 where he was the director he just became more or less just a producer for most of the stuff after that so I don't really know if he really deserves the credit for games after that (even if he himself doesn't claim that credit)

Then cheat to give yourself double health instead of infinite.
On a PC you can decide exactly how you want to play a game yourself.
There's no need to be a cuck who plays a game 'correctly', whatever that means. Do what you want, it's your game.
>>334798728
You can fight the grand dragons early from the ladder in Gizamaluke's grotto. And as soon as you get reflect ring from Treno at the start of disc 2, you can safely farm the Grand Dragons with Reflect and Blizzara on all your party. That will do about 7-9k damage, and dragons have about 16k health.
The other way, which is a disc 1 method was relying on Limit Glove, or Mustard Bomb

Doesn't the timer tick back over to zero after 99:99:99?
anyone else have this weird issue where Zidane keeps moving to the left?
I can't even light the candle. GG square enix
>>334799090
The timer displayed in the menu does change color every 100 hours for about 8 times, then stops counting at a green 99:59:59 after 801 hours of game time (as long as the overflow glitch doesn't kick in). The reset that makes Excalibur II reappear is not related to this behavior.
The overflow glitch happens after the game counts 2^32 = 4294967296 frames of game time. If you have the NTSC version which goes at 60 frames per second, then it's equal to about 19884 hours of game time. If you have the PAL version at 50 fps, it'll take about 23861 hours. After this much time, the game clock will roll back to 00:00:00 as if you just started a new game.
BUT the pc version runs at 30 fps, so 39768 hours: 1657 days and change

Except he wrote the scenarios for VI, VII (also designer) and IX, as well as served as a supervisor on most titles. He took the backseat for new talent to take his place, but he never just sat on his ass doing nothing for the titles he was attached to. It could be a coincidence that the games since his departure have been sub-par, but then again, maybe not.

>>334799386
Shit's easy to understand. It just doesn't outright tell you, and it's completely braindead easy to figure out on your own.
First value is Attack power, 2nd value is damage type(Physical Magical of flexible) last 2 values are Physical defense and magical defense. Flexible damage takes the lowest defense. the 3 values scale in hexadecimal.
There, you now know how to play.
>>334799386
>>334799513
Just know that 5 physical defense and A magical defense can and will frequently lose to a 1 attack power card when RNG decides to fuck you in the ass.
It's the one thing that keeps this minigame from being my all time favorite.

>>334794958
what was different between pal and NTCS that made pal that much slower?
>>334799623
PAL TVs = 50 hz
NTCS = 60 hz
>>334799595
Because you don't actually fight or go against their defense.
How combat works is your card's attack value is given a random number based off it's hexadecimal value, which is then subtracted from the card value. Same is done for the defender's defense stat. Who ever has the highest difference, wins.
It has RNG built into it that it calculates on it's own, allowing a strong card to lose to a weak card.

In VII he was Story Planner with Nomura but for writing it also had Nojima and Kitase working on it.
>It could be a coincidence that the games since his departure have been sub-par, but then again, maybe not.
While it's subjective regarding both "his" games and games that were released after his departure (desu I like most if not all games that have Nomura in a bigger role) I can only say that Lost Odyssey was uninspired as hell and was completely mediocre experience. Hell, even for writing it was complete boredom aside from the short stories which weren't written by him.
>>334794679
I was going to buy it day one but, fuck, those backgrounds are too fucking blurry. At this point, I might just play my physical copy of FFIX on a CRT tv and call it a day, I bet it looks even better.
>>334799434
Why pirate a game that has like 8 times bigger file size than the original one with nothing added?I have my PS1 copy + PS2 anyhow.
>>334799698
That explains why it always felt so stupid and unfun I guess.
Someone should mod the game so that you play Gwent instead.
Is the port good? Does it run well? I know it's stupid but that old FF7 PC release has me scared of these types of purchases.
>>334799819
Nowadays mods make the PC version of FF7 the best one
>>334799817
Nigga, gwent is even more broken than Tetra Master. Decoys for days.
For the casual play, you don't need to worry, just have bigger numbers and more arrows than the other guy's cards, failing that, use a decoy of your own with ton of arrows to chain a combo. Works most of the time.
>>334799819
Runs fucking flawlessly. It's 4:3 though, so expect bars on each side if you're in widescreen.
>>334799736
Lost Odyssey was like a combination of FFIX and X. Bretty gud, aside from the technical issues. The art direction and music were great.

i still don't understand, is the time counter associated with wether it's pal or ntsc?
is every pal second ingame just 5/6 of a ntcs second, and the game counts time on a real clock, meaning every second you lose 17% of what could be done on that second?
>>334799819
It is the best version of FF9. It has none of the old slowdowns, skippable cutscenes, greatly improved PC models and cutscene quality, an option to toggle the pre battle camera pan, and the upscaled backgrounds are better looking than what is possible through emulation.
On the negative end the backgrounds still look like shit but this is an unavoidable thing. This is the definitive version of FF9 now.
>>334799973
>Lost Odyssey was like a combination of FFIX and X.
are you fucking drunk
Can I return to try again if im ahead?
>>334800014
A game running at 50 FPS is roughly 20% slower than a game running at 60 FPS unless the 50 FPS game is skipping frames which PAL games don't do since it would look like shit.
>>334799973
I don't think you're intelligent enough to process the information required for a comparison.
>FFX combat system with three new elements; the first being the attack ring system, the second being the wall formation system, and the third being magic charge that adds different approach to how you plan your turns
>FFIX's ability system, where the mortals character on your party acquire their own skills over time, while the immortal characters can learn their skills directly or through equipment; 1:1 FFIX style
>>334794679
I wanna play Final Fantasy IX right now, but fucking uni forces me to study. But soon, just two weeks more...
Honest question, can mods manage to fix the backgrounds or is it a lost cause? Hell, I'm even ready to hire some artist to redraw the whole backgrounds for scratch if it helps.
>>334795343
What do you mean by background asset? What has been removed?
>>334800670
The backgrounds can be replaced once someone makes an extraction tool. Upscaling the current backgrounds won't do a thing.

People started recreating the pre-rendered backgrounds of FFVII a long time ago, and they only managed to crap out less than 10% of all the scenes before the remake was announced. They gave up. FFIX is substantially larger than VII and would require even more work. Not happening.
>>334798424
>There's a 'cheat' option which turns off random encounters.
>using ingame items is cheating
ahaha
>>334801013
FFIX doesn't have a no-encounter ability. It's a booster that came with the port. It's cheating.
>>334801013
No you dunce. The game actually comes with cheat modes. Speed ups, no encounters, infinite gil, infinite Trance. There are 7 of them, and cane be toggled on and off for the most part.
>>334800028
Nice.

I don't actually know how many of the classic ones are on steam but 1, 4, 5, and 6 are highly worth it. 3 is debatable and everybody hates 2.
XIII not worth it unless you're really into armpits.
>>334800028
>an option to toggle the pre battle camera pan
Is this true?
I mean honest to god true?
>>334801874
>everybody hates 2.
But why?
>>334801874
The remakes of 3, 4, 5 and 6 are all on Steam. All are worth playing, but 5 is the standout title in my opinion.
>>334799015
No idea how you can stomach playing older games in this HD. Looks ugly as fuck.
Anyone having issues with the music cutting out?
All I am hearing are sound effects and nothing else.

Final Fantasy IX is missable items: The Game.
>>334801893
I think he/you mean the camera going all around the battle stage as the monster appears right?
Yeah, in the config you can toggle that shit on. And a very good plus for me is it still happens on boss/story and generally important/semi-important battles, I didn't wanna lose that effect on those battles so it works just right for me.

2 had some dumb bugs in the NES version at least and the story is boring. But it had a good soundtrack at least.
>>334802086
Stops the camera from zooming in when you cast a spell. And ATB wait sets the ATB bar to wait when you're managing menus and deciding on what skill to use. Active means it doesn't wait for you to pick your skill/spell and constantly fills. Those 2 were in the original.
>>334802086
They were in the original game too.
>ATB moves during spell menus when Active
>Battle Camera pans during attacks and spells when on
>>334801894
Stupid mechanics that aren't explained anywhere and would go against the average player's expectations.
>hey i should put heavy armor on everyone more defense is good right.
>actually no, evasion stat is the most important thing and heavy armor kills it, leading to every enemy raping your ass.
>>334802086
Skip battle camera removes the panning at the start of combat, making ATB charge the moment combat begins. This is what people have been wanting for 16 years, and speeds the game up considerably.

Th-Thanks.
I made a script myself to do this, it just checks the pixel colors for the pop-up and sends the key press, eazy peazy.
>>334802086
Same as they did in the original. ATB set to wait makes menu navigation pause ATB timers and the original Battle Camera option just kept it fixed or allowed it to pan around during attacks and skill usage.
The new option, Skip Battle Camera, as I understand it just skips the opening pan.
>>334802086
ATB active = enemies do stuff while you're choosing commands
ATB wait = enemies don't do stuff while you're choosing commands(only when you're in a sub-menu. Enemies will still do stuff if you're on the primary menus. Go into a submenu like choosing an item/spell/ability, that's where it works)
Skip battle camera = no fancy camera works when spells/abilities/attack etc. No fun allowed mode.
>>334802178
The story's better than in FFI though.
I don't understand the hate for II.
