Support NeoGAF

As seen in this page:

http://eu.square-enix.com/en/documents/SteamPluginDisclosureFFIX

Edit. False Alarm?

Calm down guys! That page simply lists all licenses used for everything they used to create the Unity port of FF9. You can see this because they even included the license for AutoBuilder, which will certainly NOT be included in any build of FF9 (it is a script for the Unity Editor which means it isn't packaged with the game when built).

So yes, of course they used the Android SDK to create the Android port. Of course they used Google Play stuff. I'm also pretty sure references to these plugins would remain in the build even if these plugins aren't used on PC, forcing them to include them on the list anyway (even if they didn't just create one list with all licenses for all versions).

[GhostTrick]

Basically running with Bluestacks or something ? lol
I don't mind though, if it means more games.

 

[diaspora]

Hahaha, holy fuck you need the Android SDK to play this? What the fuck?

 

[KingBroly]

I suddenly have this feeling that this port will not run that great.

 

[Meesh]

Sounds like a bad thing? Man... I was looking forward to this too.

 

[Quote]

I'm not downloading that.

 

[heringer]

That's... wow.

On more positive news, the iOS version was updated and now MFI controllers work fine.

 

[BY2K]

Massive red flag for this port.

 

[Lime]

This also means that a Final Fantasy Tactics HD port will be even easier for them to release

 

[Kusagari]

Definitely gives me faith the port will be great.

lol S-E.

 

[Teppic]

Quickly losing interest.

 

[Robin64]

RED ALERT

Yeah, this doesn't bode well

 

[Owari]

That's... wow.

On more positive news, the iOS version was updated and now MFI controllers work fine.

Really? I'll have to give it another shot.

RIP to the PC port.

 

[DalikSkywing]

WHAT? I'm not downloading that thing.

 

[Xamtheking]

To be fair
The Chrono Trigger port isn't that bad

 

[Bolivar687]

It's a shame these Steam ports get so little TLC.

I was looking at the store pages for the classic FF games and they all look so revolting.

 

[PumpkinSpice]

I'm intrigued, I really want to see how this works.

I'll stick to my PSN version in any case but this sounds super interesting.

 

[R10Neymarfan]

Yah know since this thing was built within Unity that could have just compiled to PC...

If this port runs poorly or not as well at release after this long of a wait from announcement oh boy..

 

[Se7enSword]

Way to shoot yourselves, Square.

 

[Pellegri Testament]

Nah, I think i'll go ahead and pass.

 

[data]

This could be a good thing, do the android versions run at 60fps?

The previous FF PS1 ports ran at like, 15fps during combat

 

[artsi]

Been waiting since the mobile version released in February and this is the best they can do?

I'm getting it, but man.

 

[Kouriozan]

Oh wow, I have a really bad feeling about this.
Hopefully I'm wrong.

 

[Nightbird]

This isn't your average developer laziness...

This is...

Advanced developer laziness!

 

[Mifec]

Just get this over with so we can get X/X-2.

 

[firebricks3]

Aren't most of the FFs on steam the android versions also?

 

[vareon]

Wait....you need to download Android SDK!?

 

[Jebusman]

I mean, I could plausibly see if they just didn't bother pulling out the mobile specific parts from the build, not so much that it'll actually be literally running within Bluestacks or something.

One of the licenses listed there is "XCodeEditor-for-Unity", which I thought was iOS related.

 

[spineduke]

WTF...zero effort - no thanks Square. I think people can setup bluestacks on their own.

 

[NormalFish]

fuck.....

FFIX left out in the rain again.

 

[Rolodzeo]

 

[Transistor]

If they require this, then they should give cross buy since I bought the Android version

 

[Robin64]

Aren't most of the FFs on steam the android versions also?

Kinda. They run natively on PC where this one does not.

 

[Styles]

 

[SuperBanana]

What an absolute joke.

 

[DarkLordMalik]

 

[texhnolyze]

It's just a bad dream.

 

[Mechanized]

Laughed out loud.

 

[Leafhopper]

Starting to feel like Final Fantasy 9 is that neglected child.

That and any port that comes out on Android first will require the same from here on out from them.

So they're selling us a rom running on an android emulator?

Basically.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

So they're selling us a rom running on an android emulator?

 

[DalikSkywing]

I want crossbuy since I bought it on my phone, I hate you SE.

 

[MUnited83]

How cheap can you fucking get holy crap.

 

[Sectorseven]

Just say "fuck it" and offer a zip file with an iso and epsxe.

 

[hushlorentz]

Bart no like bad medicine.

I wonder if it will have advanced features like adjustable resolution.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Incredible

 

[patapuf]

If i understand this right they didn't even really need to port this and it's essentially emulated? Or am i completely off base here?

 

[poncle]

How can you lack respect for your own products.

 

[Scrub Mcgrubb]

You know... it might be a smart idea to make your PC port an easier solution than using a playstation emulator to run the game where you make no money from that...

 

[antitrop]

FF9 deserves better.

 

[Zelias]

Yeesh. Gonna wait and see how this runs on PC before I give SE a single penny for this.
