I think I'm just going to call Quina, Quinoa.

 

[wwm0nkey]

Yes! My favorite FF!

 

[Yarbskoo]

Relax. It's an announcement. These are not final. Jeez.

Hopefully just an ominous coincidence.

 

[Mobius and pet octopus]

FF9 is one of my favorite final fantasy games because it falls within the grouping of 1-10.

 

[Kyoufu]

Probably the best possible outcome. They're good but not good enough to completely clash against the backgrounds.

Why is she called Garnet in the English version but Dagger in the Japanese version?

 

[JoeyJungle]

Not crazy about that font, but that's a personal thing. It looks much nicer to the eye.

Don't worry, the English font will look much worse

Spoiler

 

[Parsnip]

Oh, awesome.

It's actually my second favorite FF game (FF12 being the number 1), so it's cool that I can have it on my platform of choice now.

Now I'll just have to hope that it's a decent port.

 

[YoshiStrife]

Relax. It's an announcement. These are not final. Jeez.

Yeah, make sense. You just kinda don't expect it given the scene it is, but guess they haven't got her short hair model in place yet (at least, at the time).

 

[Yarbskoo]

Why is she called Garnet in the English version but Dagger in the Japanese version?

You can name the characters whatever you want.

 

[wanderjahr]

FFIX is the first FF game I've ever played and nothing has compared since then.

EDIT: Please be 16:9 ratio.

 

[byropoint]

Just saw the news, oh my god yes!

 

[GwyndolinCinder]

Best ff finally getting ports <3

 

[Kuraudo]

High speed mode makes me all kinds of happy. Best feature of the FFVII port - it enabled me to beat the game in a couple of weeks even though I was swamped with work.

 

[texhnolyze]

Why is she called Garnet in the English version but Dagger in the Japanese version?

Plot twist: They 100% reworked the story.

 

[Falk]

Is the bottom shot legit? She has long hair when she shouldn't.

It's from the trailer.

Well if anything it points to the models being touched in one way or another.

I'm assuming it'll get fixed before release.

 

[Kyoufu]

You can name the characters whatever you want.

Yeah but they normally go with the default names and that's the same scene, so...

 

[Skel1ingt0n]

Really wish we got those crazy high-res backgrounds, but beggars can't be choosers. I'll take it - and I'll take it with a big smile on my face.

 

[Chris R]

If they price it right I'll buy it on Android AND PC. PC for the mod potential and Android for on the go play.

Would be awesome if they allowed saves to transfar....

 

[Akibared]

Another great way to end the year of dreams!

 

[studyguy]

Plot twist: They 100% reworked the story.

Garnet's hair revolts, takes over her mind, begins to build Mother Base. BROTHER

 

[jon bones]

i never played ff7 ios - what exactly does 3x speed up? just battles?

 

[Inuhanyou]

Why is she called Garnet in the English version but Dagger in the Japanese version?

You can name the characters whatever, but specifically, Dagger is the name given to Garnet when she has to change her identity

 

[Yarbskoo]

Yeah but they normally go with the default names and that's the same scene, so...

Where is that "original" screenshot from though?

 

[J-Skee]

My favorite PSX Final Fantasy, dope.

They burned through all the PS1 era mainline, time for the one offs like Tactics, Chocobo Dungeon, Vagrant Story, Threads of Fate, etc I can't wait

Spoiler

for the ports to never happen.

Lol yeah, good luck with that. You're better off getting a PS3 for most of those.

 

[Mohasus]

Why is she called Garnet in the English version but Dagger in the Japanese version?

If this isn't a joke question:

Spoiler

Her name is Garnet in both, however she uses a fake name, Dagger, for a while. Then she cuts her hair and becomes Garnet again. I don't know why she has long hair in one screenshot and short hair in the other in those images though.

 

[Mobius and pet octopus]

i never played ff7 ios - what exactly does 3x speed up? just battles?

For FF8 on PC they have a time speed up option, but it speeds up everything. I frankly just want an option to speed up summon animations, or skip them.

 

[antitrop]

i never played ff7 ios - what exactly does 3x speed up? just battles?

Everything. And it doesn't speed the in-game clock up, either. It's pretty great.

 

[Kyoufu]

You can name the characters whatever, but specifically, Dagger is the name given to Garnet when she has to change her identity

Yes, I've played the game numerous times, but that's the same scene in the comparison shot so I'm curious why she'd have her alias in one but not the other.

 

[The Last One]

Yeah but they normally go with the default names and that's the same scene, so...

The top screen is not official.

 

[Tizoc]

i never played ff7 ios - what exactly does 3x speed up? just battles?

Correct.

 

[Blackthorn]

Please come to PS4. Please come to PS4. Please come to PS4.

I was recently saying how if FFIX was sped up it would be my favourite game of all time. This is perfect.

 

[crazyprac]

Yessssss I'll patiently wait for ps4 version. Not triple dipping again...

 

[Goli]

Speaking of the hair thing, the Memoria battle shot also has her with long hair.

 

[YoshiStrife]

Yes, I've played the game numerous times, but that's the same scene in the comparison shot so I'm curious why she'd have her alias in one but not the other.

The top pic is just a random screenshot from somewhere, not official trailers.

 

[Kyoufu]

The top screen is not official.

Okay, that explains it.

 

[NormalFish]

Lol yeah, good luck with that. You're better off getting a PS3 for most of those.

or just a PSX or PS2 since it plays those better than the PS3 emulator. OR get the original discs and play with emulation on a PC, since that will give you comparable IQ to these ports.

 

[Trogdor1123]

Nice! I hope it's a steam game and supports 360 controller. Looks like it got a decent facelift too.

 

[wanderjahr]

Why is she called Garnet in the English version but Dagger in the Japanese version?

Have you ever played the game? Kinda spoilery to straight-up answer your question suffice to say some people have nicknames.

 

[Kyoufu]

Have you ever played the game? Kinda spoilery to straight-up answer your question suffice to say some people have nicknames.

Read above.

 

[antitrop]

Correct.

The iOS cheats aren't the same as the PS4? That's weird, I figured they were the same. If there's anything Square hates, it's consistency.

 

[TheSeks]

"With high-definition graphics, newly added achievements, auto-save, high speed mode, and several game boosting features, the game is easy to pick up and play no matter where you go."

Eh, looking at the trailer it just looks like they're upressing it a small bit and it's just a PSX port like FF7 (pre-Remake release)/8. Nothing earth shattering other than them doing a port finally. But yeah...

I'll buy it. Maybe it being on PC will force me to finish it since I never did get past the first disc on any of the Playstation releases. Too boring. :/

 

[FreeMufasa]

Man, I just got 10 hours into a replay of it on PS1 yesterday. Probably gonna hold off till this comes out.

Lol. U played a game for 10 hours yesterday?

 

[Putyouinmyoven]

Still probably my favourite game of all time. Get it on PS4!!!

 

[b3b0p]

Own the Playstation version still. If this requires me to create a Square account, I will not double dip. Is it going to be on Steam?

 

[FallenGrace]

Really hope both VIII and IX get PS4 ports. Good news for other people either way.

 

[FloatOn]

this is the best final fantasy

MIGHT have to replay it even tho I've outgrown turn based jrpg

 

[TheSeks]

For FF8 on PC they have a time speed up option, but it speeds up everything. I frankly just want an option to speed up summon animations, or skip them.

Why? I get they're long, but if you're using boost (you did learn it right?) you're basically QTE'ing during those summon animations to do more damage. Granted, if you junction/play cards you'll be doing more damage than the summons to where you probably never will need to use the GF's.

 

[BadWolf]

Not one of my faves in the series but a really good rpg nonetheless, highly recommend it.

 

[Gaogaogao]

nice

 

[Slaythe]

Hmm, looks like they improved the character models and the faces a bit

Omfg. This is perfect. Retro model that doesn't look like clown vomit.

Love it !! Do we have a date ?!
