FFIX was just released on Steam.

How are you enjoying the best FF game?

VI, VII, and IX are all pretty good. V has its charms. No need to decide on which one is best.

that ending still gets to me

Vivi Ornitier is one of the most well written characters in the history of video games

The entire cast,including Quina is so well developed.Hell,most antagonists were respectable and likable in their own regard,motherfuckers like the Black Waltz played an integral part in the growth and development of the cast.

Just make sure you go into options set battle speed to max and eventually get auto haste on your party

Its hard to say if youll like it because some retards get mad its not 1:1 like the SNES games a other retards get mad its not like FF7 or FF8. Its its own thing in the end and I really like the game.

eventually i just got tired of dealing with them. ya some games ran fine, but some didn't, i hated the randomness.
also i make enough money to buy all the games i want, or just download them for free on torrents.

How are the people that encourage emulation no matter what not a type of shill?

Any time an old game gets released there are always those people that get triggered and say emulation is better when it isnt. Emufags cant ever be chill they think theyre superior and its cringe worthy.

>>334905662
>>334905767

Because if I buy a game ported to PC that was released like 15 years ago I expect it to look at least as good as it was on original system, not worse.

Since original psx games were made for CRT, they received nice bloor and contrast.
After you receive the same game on crt and dont account for this, you get one ugly mess.

At this point this >>334904720 >>334905207 and even not so sublte pic related look better than game re-released on PC.

That lazy shit makes me angry because if they bothered with some filter, at least something to make those backgrounds look more decent, I would buy the shit out of it in a heartbeat.
But now, we get pixelated mess we could get on an emulator with no filter.

Since /v/ lately served bans for piracy For purpose of this thread we talking about playing original games you bough years ago on emulator and is still better choice that paying for a bugy port that looks like shit.
>>
tactics is the only good game
>>
>>334906081

I own it and it certainly has its trade offs, I really wish square wasnt stupid they could have saved the original game files but for some reason threw them away. What a waste.

That said youre really overstating how bad it looks. All things considered its the best FF port.

Think for one second. What TVs existed when IX was released? Just ponder on it for one minute.

Admittedly it doesnt look like shit but at this point I still feel playing my original game on emulator is a better choice than paying for game that doesnt even run fullscreen.

>>334907696
I get at what you hinting, what you saying is, the game was made for 4:3 crt except one thing.
4:3 screen ratio could be achieved with higher res than the pic and without those borders.
Most common is 5:4 1280x1024 display, on such monitor 4:3 ratio would be 1280x960, its way higher than the pic which is still somewhat different than 4:3 screen ratio.

There is no reason why game needs to run in such small screen.

>>334907957
Because that's the resolution that guy chose you retard. The game isn't locked to that resolution.

Then what the fuck are those borders.
I even went to youtube and every single gameplay has them.

You are the retard.
>>
>>334908171

Aspect ratio is not the same as resolution.

Good lord.
>>
>>334908171
No, you're the retard. Notice how the borders never appear above or below the screen? That's because they only appear when you set the game at a resolution that doesn't have a 4:3 ratio to fill up the horizontal space. This should be immediately obvious to anyone who isn't suffering from brain damage.

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.

You can change the backgrounds, but they are resolution limited atm to 640x480. So no matter what you put in, it will get upscaled.

running FFIX is basically a fool proof way of getting a successful twitch channel if you stream.

To be honest a big factor in why I like him is his qualifications if you search him on linkedin or whatever that site is called. Dude is out the ass qualified.

It's a weird port. The character models are a little too upscaled. They stand out too much on the backgrounds (which can only be so good looking since they were prerendered). It's even worse with other objects like the boards Vivi crosses on the rooftops. Makes it uglier in a way.

Despite that it's fun playing with the 9999 damage booster. I've beaten the game like 8 times so I'm not here for the combat or challenge, what little there is. I don't want to skip it completely or use other boosters though.

Is it just me or, genuinely, absolutely, there hasn't been a good FF since maybe the 3rd/6th?

Every FF is absolutely cringy and makes no sense in its own universe and rules. Characters have strange teensy immature or plain batshit insane motivations tacked on with MAGIC argument just because. Suddenly Sephiroth grows one wing and Cloud another one just because, and shit happens on FFXVIII because WHATEVER reason and plotholes all over the place.

Then XIII happened and everyone bitched about the story whereas it's just about the same juvenile thing as X and linear as it was.

FF is like the most animu generic thing in videogames overhyped by production and name.

>>334925201
It's anime without really being anime, which is perfect for me.
>>
>>334922725
Couldn't stand it. Was my first FF when I was about 12, and five hours in I put it down and didn't play another console RPG for years. Hated Tidus, Yuna, hated the combat, hated the sphere grid, the battle theme was annoying, it was like everything about the game was designed to piss me off and it worked. Finally got around to Kingdom Hearts, loved it, decided to give FF another chance and my brother had XII. Absolutely loved it, and picked up every FF for my PSP that I could grab.

Tried X again when I was 17 I think, still hated it. I'm 24 now and I want to pick up the HD collection for my PS4, I'll give it a third and final try then.

I'm about to get to the outer continent
So far I haven't noticed many bugs, there's one where if you park choco too close to a building you can't get back on but that's probably a holdover from ps1, also when you're on the red rose and you're about to teleport into Alexandria you have to physically shove yourself inside Vivi to talk to him and not Freya
Also "defence" in every stat screen
Pretty solid overall

I actually just beat the original PS1 version of IX on my PS2 earlier this year. I quite enjoyed it, I understood the actual story a lot more than I remember understanding the later part of VII. It's definitely up there with VI and VII for me. Biggest reason I'd set it lower than VII is purely for aesthetic reasons. I just like VII's designs and aesthetics more than anything in IX.

It did have one of the comfiest and criminally underused locations in all of FF though

Most people got buttpained because they thought necron was a character and not a concept.
There are theories that says that necron is basically the lifa tree, who got free from Garland and Kuja, and got tired of doing Terra's shit, so he went full "fuck this shit, maybe everyone should just die, terra should have died earlier, and they prolonged by killing more stuff"

FF IX is too "nintendo" for me, too cheerful and childish. If the N64 wasn't cartridge based, they could have made the game for it and it wouldn't have made a difference.

I highly doubt that Necron is the Iifa tree.

It's clearly some kind of overseer of the universe. He decided that all life wants death after seeing the actions of Garland, Kuja, and Terra, so life was pointless.

Defeating him doesn't even kill him. Necron just decided that since life has such a strong will to live, it has a purpose and leaves life alone.


I have no idea how someone came up with that retarded theory.
>>
>>334935949
>too cheerful and childish

trying this hard to be le mature adult is a classic sign of not actually being particularly grown-up at all

ffix has plenty of dark shit and themes that are explored in a far more interesting and adult way than the shitty teen angst of viii at the very least. if a colourful world, cutesy art style and an upbeat main character are enough to put you off actually paying attention to what's happening in a game then you don't deserve to enjoy it anyway

I also like that there's a version with Melodies of Life is woven into it.

I love the characters in IX but hate EVERYONE in XIII except for Sazh. That part where he goes to shoot himself? Top tier. Best moment in the game.

Vanille, Lightning, and Snow in particular are awful and I can sort of understand Hope but I cringed when he literally inspired hope in the party at the end of the game. Terrible. The whole game except for Sazh is awful. The fucking black guy is the best part about XIII and to me that is fucking hilarious.

>Dry summers and my childhood and good luck beating that nostalgia.

Same thing for me, it shows that whoever did the soundtrack knew what he was doing perfectly.
Dry summers.
>>
>>334938839
The only slightly interesting one was Sazh, the rest was just plain stupid or immature patting each other in the back. I seriously couldn't stand Hope, Vanille and Serah in particular, holy shit they fucked up hard with those characters.
>>
>>334939531
Melodies of Life is woven into numerous FFIX tracks. It's pretty nice touch how there is one melody that is all-encompassing.
>>
>>334939678
>Whoever.
It was all Uematsu. It was the last FF game (excluding og 14) where he composed the whole soundtrack himself.
>>
>>334938839
>XIII has garbage combat
I actually like it.
The paradigm system is pretty neat.

The only thing that's pissing me off is the random positioning of the characters which might lead to instant death if enemies use AoE attacks and your party is standing huddled together.

Oh and Fang was alright. Almost forgot her.

That whoever guy is Uematsu. He's kind of a big deal.

You mean the guy that wanted to kill Vanille because of something she couldn't even prevent?

None of the characters were really rational throughout the game.
>>
>>334926354
I'd expect an announcement at E3 and it will release in the winter.
>>
>>334940176

Are you kidding? Vanille could have easily prevented what happened. It just would have fucked her in the ass to do so.

She chose herself over a little boy. She's selfish and if I was a father and found out what Vanille did I'd want to kill her too.

In the end, he decided he wasn't a murderer even though he contemplated doing the dirty deed. I fail to see how he was acting irrationally. A bit emotional, sure, but who the fuck wouldn't?

And if you really want to get down to it, Vanille and Fang are the main reasons any of the other characters suffer because they couldn't just accept that they were fucked by gods.

Sorry bucko but your waifu caused a little boy to suffer. Of course the father thought about killing her.

>>334940459
>>334940570
If I had to blame someone I'd blame the Falcie that actually decided to brand him and not the girl I've been travelling together with for who knows how long.

How is his anger directed at her rational at all when she's obviously just as much of a victim as his own son?
>>
>>334940770

>wah wah she's a victim too

I get you, I really do. Apparently so did Sazh because he forgave her. If anything, you're just shouting out the testament to his character. He's pretty human compared to the rest of the cast.

If you were a father and came face to face with someone that caused your child to suffer. The circumstances really don't fucking matter. You're going to hate that person.

Find a new waifu, broski.

You won't get a mainstream one any time soon. Modern FF games are all about brooding pop singers and settings either mundane or ridiculously over-designed.

Though I think FFIX is the only mainline FF to prominently feature anthropomorphic animals and a story-book aesthetic turned up to 11. So it's not really fair to say the series was always about this.

I'm just saying he took too long to figure it out and no, I'm not someone who sets his emotions over his rationality.
>>
>>334941083

Did anyone else notice that they carried a lot of the monsters and aesthetics from IX over into Crystal Chronicles?

I get a similar feel from both games.
>>
Are there any differences between the android and steam versions?

>I'm not someone who sets his emotions over his rationality

You're focusing way too much on rationality buddy. REAL people aren't always rational, especially when people they love are involved. Love makes people crazy.

Are you a robot or something? Because Sazh is the most human character in that game. Everyone else is pretty fucking awful.
>>
>>334941202

>m-muh rationality!

Good lord. What's wrong with you?
>>
>>334941351
If you're talking about blind love the characters share plenty of it, not just Sazh.

Snow and Lightning for Serah, Vanille for Fang and Hope for his dead mother.
>>334941502
I get that you don't like the word so I won't use it anymore.
>>
>>334936510
you will once robots will collate all the video game data in the world and start tailoring games to individual humans in order to keep us pacified
>>
>>334941216
Yep. A lot of the "side" FF games have a more fairytale aesthetic, and if you look at FFTA or non-FF-but-still-kind-of-FF games like Bravely Default.
>>
>>334941652

>blind love
>A father's love is blind

So why is rationality the be all end all for you? You make zero sense bud. Seriously, get a better waifu.
>>
FF10 is the beginning of the end
Even FF13 was better than FF10
>>
>>334942225

If only that were actually true.

At least FFX has monster arena.

Probably because Toshiyuki Itahana who worked with Minaba on IX's character and monster designs also worked on the Chronicles series.

>>334929692
I'm pretty sure that you never have to worry about the other party in terms of combat.

Won't ever happen. Is it possible to hate a company more than I hate Square Enix?

Quina IS retarded. You meet several others of its race and while they all talk like idiots, Quina is the only who has NO idea what they fuck is going on.

yeah i am looking at pics and I love the updated character models.

but compared to the background they stick out so hard and dont blend in at all anymore. Its bad... like FF7 bad.

I hope modders clean that shit up.
>>
>>334901217
>FFIX
>great character writing
HAHAHA OH WOW
I like the game too but this is delusional. Outside of the main cast of Zidane, Garnet, Vivi and Steiner, the characters are shit. Freya had potential her arc was completely abandoned post Cleyra, Eiko was nothing more than a prop to further along Garnet's story, Quina was simplistic and 2D, and Amarant is hands down the shittiest character in FF post V.
>>
>>334944225

As far as Freya goes, where could it have gone? Seems like it was left open ended. More important shit was happening.
>>
>>334944007

They still haven't really fixed FF5 or FF6 on steam so don't bet on it happening any time soon.
>>
>>334944389

They could have pursued more of the shit with Fratley.
>>
>>334912997
>Ca va?
>>
>>334945309

So basically what you're saying is is that you wanted her to have her man back?

You can just say it anon. You wanted a happy ending for Freya instead of her having to accept what she got. And she did, like a champ. Her story with frately was over after Cleyra, but she still helped out the group and followed her own path as a Dragoon.
