A IX port with the 3x speed would be a miracle. I love that game but find it hard to go back to, because I feel it has by far the slowest battle system of the 3 PS1 games.

I've always felt VII and VIII were pretty snappy, but IX just seems really slow.

Yea IX is pretty slow with animations going into and coming out of battle.

The Best Bromace trophy must be glitched or something. I just went back to an old save and redid it. Went through the date with Barrett and nothing.

Damn, report that so it's working when we get there. Lol. Hopefully, it pops for you soon though.

 

[CopperPuppy]

Apologies if this has been answered already, but I didn't get a chance to watch the stream...

I see the release date as "soon" in the OP. Anything more specific than that? Does "soon" mean before the end of the year? Q1 2016?

Where would I report it? I'm just going to keep a save at the Golden Saucer for whenever it gets fixed later.

It's released today/yesterday. We're playing it now.

Damn this theme is going to make me ball my eyes out everytime I start up my PS4. Lol

Has anyone else reached this point and had the same problem? or inversely, has anyone got this trophy?

If you're talking about the PC to PS4 port, it's already up on PSN.

For real? Damn, of all the trophies to be glitched.

Corneo trophy get lol

Can anybody confirm if this has the same problem with the music as the recent iOS port?

Basically when battle music interrupts the regular music it forces it to start the track over again after said battle.

Makes it impossible to hear great tracks like both the world map themes. You essentially have to sit still and listen rather than getting exposed to the longer parts of the music. Really make or breaks a great port when they mess with the music in anyway...

 

[show me your skeleton]

they let marlene run the bar?! isn't she like six?!
fuck sake tifa, get your head together.

 

[Sora_N]

Happy Birthday!

I'm also coming into this kinda fresh. The 2 times I finished this game were back in the PS1 days where I was very young. Now I'm sure I'll pick up on things I've forgotten or maybe didn't understand back then.



Well the grind is a lot faster now, so there's that.

Spoiler

All we need now is for someone to confirm the cheats work on the weapons.

Thank you, and I feel the same way. I couldn't beat the weapons back then, maybe I can now lol.

 

[Daffy Duck]

I never beat Emerald or Ruby either, I'd never use cheats on them even if they did work because there's no sense of achievement in doing that.

 

[Sesuadra]

FF7 is a treasure



but dont many ff fans consider FF 6 to be superior?

what are your guys opinions on that

FFIX>FFVI>FFVII

DAMN I can't change the language. I have to change my ps4 system language to german to play in german? or did I miss something ._.? that sucks.

 

[Sora_N]

The 3x speed will help to grind the gear for it at least.

 

[show me your skeleton]

oh boy this game is dopey. really hope they keep the 'we need to press the button at the same time or the door won't open for some reason' bit in the remake.
and the fact AVALANCHE have fake IDs despite barret walking around with a bloody gun for an arm.

 

[barit]

Okay I was weak and bought it. But just mainly for the theme. And what can I say? It was worth the 10€. That music, those feelings q.q

 

[Sesuadra]

having to die for this stupid trophy hurts ;_;

 

[ULTROS!]

having to die for this stupid trophy hurts ;_;

It's pretty easy. Pretend you can kill the Midgar Zolom on the 1st/2nd disc and boom, instant trophy.

 

[funkystudent]

I really wish you could mix and match sounds and backgrounds with PS4 themes.

I just want that classic FF menu sound. Dont need anything else.

 

[The Praiseworthy]

She is just Four ;p

 

[ULTROS!]

This game just garnered 1.8-1.9k likes in the Store in a span of 12 hours. I guess this will be the top PS4 game for the upcoming months. I wonder if it will reach 10k likes within a year...

 

[crimilde]

I'll be getting this just for the PS4 theme... It's gorgeous. I don't even know on how many systems I own this game so far lol.

 

[Son Of D]

What's the price in the UK? Not at my PS4 or laptop right now to check and it's not in the OP.

 

[Joey Ravn]

Funny how at the normal speed, battles look low FPS (original like).

When sped up 3X, they look smooth as butter 60 fps.

Nah. I can't say I agree with this. The normal speed for battles is 15 FPS. Sped up, it's 45 FPS. It's still 25% shy of 60 and it shows. Besides, they look sped up. Like a Materiaed-up Benny Hill. They are much more tolerable, but they definitely don't look "smooth as butter".

 

[TheBlueBomber]

So bummed I can't afford this currently, i need that theme in my life

 

[liquidtmd]

What's the price in the UK? Not at my PS4 or laptop right now to check and it's not in the OP.

£8.99, includes theme

 

[Shift Breaker]

£8.99, I think it was.

Just try and save it for the last one, that's what I'm doing.

The Best Bromace trophy must be glitched or something. I just went back to an old save and redid it. Went through the date with Barrett and nothing.

Really? Ugh, typical. Going to have to keep a save spare for this, just in case it gets patched.

 

[show me your skeleton]

She is just Four ;p

TIFA YOU MASSIVE IDIOT.


i wonder if there is any reason why the framerate wasn't increased during the battles, maybe it's tied to game logic or something?

 

[Son Of D]

£8.99, I think it was.

Oh nice. Was expecting £10.99. Might grab this when I get home. Been meaning to replay VII.

 

[toythatkills]

I wonder if No Encounter can avoid the giant snake...

I beat that giant snake first time through once. Spent hours grinding around the chocobo farm so I could do it. Just wanted to see if it could be done! Could do the Aeris trophy alongside this.

PS4 filtered

Garbage.

The blur filter itself wouldn't put me off the game, but it is very annoying that there are inconsistencies across the same letter. Like when there's a double-L, one is thicker than the other. What the hell is that all about?

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

What's the story with the battle boost system thing? (I mean clicking R3 to get full health and unlimited limit breaks) Like was that in the steam version or is it not meant to be there?

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

That's definitely texture filtering. That screenshot is really turning me off of this port. Can't stand that kind of filter. I like seeing PS1 textures in all their pixelly goodness.

Yeah, it's enough for me to pass on this version, which is a shame. Oh well.

 

[Shift Breaker]

With the poison, elemental and fire material it's possible to beat the Midgar Zolom and leave with Beta on your first time through. Unfortunately once I found that out I couldn't help but do it in every single future playthrough, which makes the game so much easier.

 

[Trigonometrize.]

It's pretty easy. Pretend you can kill the Midgar Zolom on the 1st/2nd disc and boom, instant trophy.

I actually tried that and it didn't work because dying to the Zolom isn't a real death. It just boots you back out with some of your party dead and no trophy.

 

[SLV]

My memory is terrrible, anything disk 1 related that i should not miss regarding trophies ? barret date and corneo not counting ?

 

[The Xtortionist]

I don't know how I ever played this game without 3x speed.

 

[Yankee Ruin X]

Well......my case has been rested....and what projector. I've been looking around and I was settling on an optima hd141x I think it was.

Benq W1070, easily the best £400 I have ever spent. Picture quality is absolutely stunning for the price and I demoed a lot of projectors before settling on this one. For price/performance I honestly can't see how anything can come close.

 

[Disktrasa]

Will buy later today, this is my GOAT and i own it both digital and have the original on disc, love playing on Vita.

But the included theme and the 3xspeed tip me over to buy it once again

 

[//ARCANUM]

Anyone know how the 3Xspeed affects the in game play time? Is it running at 3x when this is activated? Or is it running at normal time? If it's running at 3x, how are speed runners gonna factor this? Lol.

 

[Good Guy Gone Bad]

Can anybody confirm if this has the same problem with the music as the recent iOS port?

Basically when battle music interrupts the regular music it forces it to start the track over again after said battle.

Makes it impossible to hear great tracks like both the world map themes. You essentially have to sit still and listen rather than getting exposed to the longer parts of the music. Really make or breaks a great port when they mess with the music in anyway...

Yes this same issue is present in the game currently.

 

[Yasawas]

This was my second JRPG after Mystic Quest and I loved the shit out of it back in '99. Never did finish it although I understand I was right at the end now

I'm not going to play it totally blind but I won't be relying on a walkthrough either - that in mind how many of the trophies have a point of no return I need to be aware of? There's obviously one with Aeris' Limit Break but any others or can you always return to the Golden Saucer to get those later / get the crazy summon materias at any point etc?

Sounds like the FFX PS4 release pre-patch.

It doesn't, I measured it. The timer moves at standard speed regardless of the modifier.

 

[manipulate]

Yes this same issue is present in the game currently.

That is ridiculous.

 

[Ghost Slayer]

Yes this same issue is present in the game currently.

bummer. Oh man, plan to get it with Midgar theme

 

[grimmiq]

Don't think there's anything regarding trophies, unless you somehow miss Ramuh and Ifrit materias for the Master Summon.

Turn encounters off for a bit?

 

[Alex_Mexico]

Damn this theme is going to make me ball my eyes out everytime I start up my PS4. Lol

Theme? What theme? You mean the game comes with a FFVII theme for the PS4 main menu? Or what did he mean by that?
