I'm afraid the the game will be region locked for Asia, just like the rest PC + mobile combo Final Fantasy games before.
SE, please not this one.
 
FF 9 fans seem to have a very hard time taking anyone criticizing the game. I'm also disappointed, but not surprised, that this topic turned into FF list warz yet again. Oh well, super psyched for this release, the fast forward feature will be very welcome getting through the slow battles.

Final Fantasy 9 is a great game (Top 3 FF for me) but there is no reason to deny that it had some terrible character designs. Ironically, it also has one of the best character design (Vivi) so I guess it balances itself somehow :P. But Kuja and Zidane are easily the worst main FF characters =/
 
If there exists a potential opinion, there exists a Final Fantasy fan to express it. Probably one of the first things I learned when I was a teenager.

As for myself, I love FFIX. Not quite my favorite (VII and Tactics and maybe X top it) but still a Top 10 game for me nevertheless. I can't wait to return to Gaia.
 
Super excited for this! FF9 is my favorite Final Fantasy, it'll be awesome to finally play it again and ruin my nostalgia. Or, hopefully, not! Haha.

I hope they do end up putting those hi res backgrounds in, though, because the low res ones will look... odd. Especially with updated/up-ressed/AA'd models. If they're doing that, which I assume they are...?
 
The backgrounds looked so bad in the trailer, but there's not much that can be done about it.

Regardless it's nice to have that game.
 
I finally figured out why this news made me happy. It's the first sign that they are actually committed to getting their full back catalogue of FFs on various platforms, not just the games that can already be quick 'n dirty ported from other sources.

FFIX will take a little effort, with no PC, DS, PSP or mobile port to work off of.
 
Inwont deny that ff9 has its issues but the overall adventure and characters still manage to make me like it

I do hope we get an improved translation in this new trlease.

Every FF had some terrible character design, it's the curse of the series. FFIX character design is dirty and unconventional, but they are highly stylized and charming. It's a huge departure from the realistic art style that surrounds the Nomura FF, but it's what makes it look perfect for the kind of game it is.

Also Zidane is the best FF protagonist. Period.

FF6 exists, so I automatically disagree.

Terra (World of Ruins) is the second best FF protagonist. Celes is great as well, same goes to Locke.
 
So this year, we've had:

Shenmue III Announcement
Dragon Quest VII and VIII 3DS Announced for PAL and NA
Final Fantasy VII Remake Confirmed
The Last Guardian Revived
Nier Automata Announced
Suikoden III on PSN (the first time available in PAL)
Donkey Kong 64 on WiiU VC (including Jetpac)
Ni No Kuni 2 Announced
An Official Release for Mother in English
Fire Emblem If/Fates Announced
Shin Megami Tensei IV Final Announced
Dark Souls III Announced
Monster Hunter X Announced
Fallout 4 Announced and Released
Gaijinworks Localising Summon Night 5
Star Ocean 5 Announced

And now this


Fuck, 2015 was like a sweet gaming dream
Melty Blood official localization too.

Seems like ff13 series was the first sign tbh.

Now that 9 is confirmed, I think the X-HD and X-2 HD will be definitely coming although that was rumored from datamines as well a while back iirc.
 
Damn. SE is quickly becoming my favorite developer once again.

Gonna buy this on Android, just like all the rpg's they released on Android.
 
In no plane of the multiverse is Terra close to being a good protag, unless whining, moping, and being a general nuisance are good qualities.

You're thinking of World of Balance Terra. I admit she is quite flawed in personality during the first half of the game. But in World of Ruins, I felt that she has grown into something else. A selfless, mature woman who dedicated the rest of her life taking care for group of young orphans, and fight for them in order to give them future, despite her identity that makes her inconvenient around human beings.

Great character. Strong female character done right, without being physically aggressive. *cough*Lightning*cough*

Of course it's hard when people throw 'worst FF' and 'worst characters' around without any context on it.
How are we supposed to argue with that kind of comments.
 
I still cant believe this is announced.

You guys dont know how happy I am ^____^

Been waiting years for them to do something like this.

Day 1 for PC!

What a way to start 2016 and/or end 2015 ;p
 
Weren't we talking not long ago about how the source code of the game has been lost and some guy said that it was a conspiracy against Hiroyuki Ito?

hahah

Kuja is atrocious, for sure. I'd say Zidane is a solid design though. He definitely conveys the "playful, flirtatious thief" at first glance.
 
So happy that this game finally gets the chance to shine on PC. It's not my favourite FF, but it's a damn good one and more people deserve to play it. Hopefully the PC port is a good one!
 
Please don't fuck it up please don't fuck it up please don't fuck it up.

75% probability of buying, based on announcement alone. Will wait to see if they fuck it up, or charge too much for it.
 
Kuja is fantastic, what are you on about ?

Kuja and Zidane both evoke David Bowie for different reasons and it's absolutely cool.

I love the two characters.

From your handle, you're obviously no stranger to beef. You and I now have one >:-<

Terra is an emotionally abused and in some ways incredibly sheltered young lady who needs the time and space to find her own way in a tipsy turvy world. And, through strength of character and kindness, she does find that way. Protecting and nurturing orphans in a seemingly hopeless world. And she can turn into a pink Barbie. Terra rules.
 
Started IX on Vita recently, but the slowdown in battles is doing me in. I don't know if it's a bad PAL port or what, but it's close to slideshow level. Gonna love playing this on PC.

This is a terrible opinion.

This! Her level of growth is probably more than any FF character. Also the fixation on her kind of tells me they didn't even make it to the second half of the game.
 
FFVII Steam doesn't have hi-speed mode.

But FFVIII Steam and FFVII PS4 do.

It's a little bizarre tbh.

or I guess they figure FFVII Steam doesn't need a sales boost but PS4 does, ehehehehe
 
Sorry, but why people want to play this game at 3x speed? I played on PS1 and it was amazing. I understand if you already played it, ok... But if this is your first experience with FFIX you should play it at normal speed.

This would be good advice if battles in the port don't take 5 minutes each to actually start.

We'll see.
