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.

Well the PS4 ver. of FF7 was released years after the iOS ver. wasn't it?

 

[Walker_Boh]

I am in! FF 9 is my favorite PS1 Final Fantasy and it has a fantastic soundtrack to boot. I own most of the PC Final Fantasies that Square has put out and this is day one for me.

 

[JetSetRadio]

They're going to announce it separately for PS4? holy shit

 

[Copper]

wonder why there isn't a ps4 release? Either way I'm excited because I never finished it (got to disc 3) but I loved what I did play.

 

[gtj1092]

Amazing don't see PC in the blurb though just phones. Either I guess I finally have to open a steam account.

 

[antitrop]

Well the PS4 ver. of FF7 was released years after the iOS ver. wasn't it?

iOS version was in August, it was only 4 months. =/

It's really strange to me that the Steam, iOS, and PS4 versions of FF7 all have differently behaving cheats.

 

[The Last One]

Well the PS4 ver. of FF7 was released years after the iOS ver. wasn't it?

IOS version released in August.

 

[RedAssedApe]

Can't remember anything that happened we in this game. Maybe I'll give it another shot.

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

They're running out of FF's to re-release, getting closer and closer to FF12.

 

[saher]

the great news is that they wont not touch the music like they did with VIII

 

[Dr. Buni]

Nice. It's the best Final Fantasy. Will probably buy it.

Spoiler

In a fair world Zidane would be in Smash instead of Cloud.

 

[artsi]

Whaaaaatt?

I've been waiting for this for years.

 

[Nerokis]

YES! Fantastic news. Let the FFIX comeback begin.

Edit: Okay...the trailer made me choke up. I suddenly can't wait to jump back into this game.

 

[Socivol]

Those screens look great but I have a Mac

 

[stargateheaven]

wait.. the trailer is in WIDESCREEN!!! wow!!

 

[Chris R]

Those screens look great but I have a Mac

Play it on your iPhone?

 

[Red]

This is a damn good start to my NYE.

 

[Slaythe]

DO WE HAVE A DATE ?

 

[GravityMan]

I own FFIX on PSN, but if the PC version turns out good with the enhancements I'll pick it up.

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

Models look like they doubled the poly count. Arms and legs are 8 sided instead of 4.

Would be awesome if they still had the background assets but this is still good.

 

[-shadow-]

Might actually give it a honest try again. Haven't played it in more than ten years. Can't wait!

 

[Yarbskoo]

wait.. the trailer is in WIDESCREEN!!! wow!!

Looks cropped judging by the comparison screens. Hopefully it's optional.

 

[Tizoc]

IOS version released in August.

Thought it released earlier than that XP

 

[DarkLordMalik]

This is GREAT news. Year of dreams is ending with a bang.

 

[texhnolyze]

This is literally my most re-played game ever. And with this, it's not going to be dethroned anytime soon.

And happy new year for all~!

 

[bluethree]

came in this thread hoping for a high speed mode, definitelygetting this!

 

[Aeana]

Knock it off with the PS4 port begging.

 

[Ahnez]

What?

YES!

 

[Sesto]

This is a late christmas gift from SE, thank you,

 

[Stone Ocean]

Characters look so sharp, I love it. But what is it with Square and shitty touch menus?

Is this the first time FFIX gets a real re-release?

 

[DiipuSurotu]

Can't wait to bust a nut to Garnet's ass again. It'll be just like when I was 9.

 

[UncleSporky]

This reminds me.

When my friend played through this he thought suggested name change from Garnet to "Dagger" sounded really stupid.

So he renamed her again to Garnet.

Except my friend is a moron who didn't change to lowercase so her name was GARNET for the rest of the game, like everyone was yelling her name.

 

[Enthus]

The collection is almost complete! I wonder when they will announce the X port that was leaked? I would think they would want some time between these, but they also only had a week between LRXIII and VI.

 

[jett]

Would it fucking kill them to make the battles NOT be locked at 15fps?

With this announcement, I guess they'll announce X/X-2 after IX released.

 

[Mechanized]

I don't have much love for this game unfortunately. I don't like any of the characters except for Vivi.

 

[Pooya]

game logic is probably tied to it or something, it's an ancient game.

I always do this. I've never not renamed her Garnet on any playthrough . Plus it's just too funny to hear her say "Don't came Garnet anymore, from now on call me Garnet."

 

[keisuke999]

The best FF game, time to journey again

 

[stargateheaven]

no wonder everything looks huge.

also, whats the betting this has the music bug like ff7 and ffx hd.

 

[ShaoranWright]

HOLY SHIT!, 2015 keeps been the year of dreams till the very last day ;_;

 

[demigod]

Oh hell yeah! Played this back on PS1, never finished it but enjoyed it.

 

[J-Skee]

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.

I keep reading that people have issues with the PS3 emulator, such as controller lag, but I've never had an issue with it (unless I just can't tell). But now that I think about it, PSTV emulation is better than PS3's just for the sleep function alone.

 

[Mookie1515]

Pretty excited to replay this with the official cheat engine they've been adding to these PS1 to PC releases. VII and VIII were really fun to blow through without taking up all my time. And IX is my favorite!

 

[johntown]

I seem to recall a thread a week or so ago where someone was saying it would never come to PC because the source code was lost?

So glad that person was 100% wrong! I have been waiting and waiting for this.

This announcement now give me hope that every FF game will be on PC eventually.

 

[Sciz]

I'm not a big fan of the game's final act, but it at least has one of Uematsu's all time great final boss themes going for it.

 

[FaintDeftone]

Final Fantasy XI is one of my favorites in the series. Glad to see it make a comeback!

 

[Aureon]

Those were just contributing factors. I dislike the fact that the entire game was engineered to be some sort of nostalgia dive with lots of hurr-hurr references to "classic" FF. Strip all of that away, and the actual story and characters in the game are really shallow and the narrative is pretty nonsensical and lacks a strong theme. I love a ton of scenes in FFIX, but as an overall product I disliked it more and more as time went by.

The theme is nostalgia.
Christ.

Spoiler

And i didn't play I-VI before IX, so, no, it's not just about that.

 

[benjammin]

Wow, easy day one for me. I loved this game when I played it originally but never finished it. Will definitely pick this up for pc or iPad
