Because its cheaper.
No we're getting an emulated version of a port.

What makes me sad is that people still believe in this company to deliver decent products to fan.
This is utter shit.
They treat their best-selling games and still most popular games with utter contempt. Fuck these guys seriously.

I paste what I wrote in the Steam thread, since not all people read that.
There's literally NO reason to use an Android emulator NOW. Because they ported pretty much ALL FF games excluding FF1+2 and Tactics. So, what's the reason? If this would be the very first FF port on PC, I would probably say it's to have a tool to properly port all future games easily, but...only three games are missing, and two of them (FF1
2) probably won't get a port since they are very old and outdated.
We had (bad) Dotemu ports, we could get another one for completion.
The only reason I can find right now is SE wants to port all Dragon's Quests, Chrono Trigger and Secret of Mana games and with this tool they will literally push a button to do the port.

They'll probably ask you to download a PS2 emulator for that and then sell you the ROM

Yet this is going to be more expensive than other FF PC ports.
So did I.
Then I realized I wasn't surprised. Its just more lack of respect to their own product but I understand they need to make bank. Its just that they are spending on ff xv which is just not resonating with me at least.

Welp. Guess I'm gonna stick with playing my physical discs in my PS3.
I think we have to wait and see the damage first.

So they are doing this because they are already working on a full blown remake. Right? .... Right?
It says the installer includes the "third party plugins", not that you have to download them separately in order to run it. Are we sure that the other FF Android ports on PC don't say the same too?
Anyway, expected better yeah, but it doesn't bother me too much personally, as -like I said- most of the other Steam FF games are ports from Android. Just hope it runs ok and that SE releases it already so people can try it out.

What the fuck is this. Never in a million years would I download that shit even if they gave me the game for free.

I mean nothing is surprising with Square anymore. No wonder they can't figure out XV on PC and their XIII series ports were shit. They can't develop their way out of a paper bag and have business sense of a not particularly bright hamster.
Hey, they did say it would be a tech showpiece. PS4 emulator would be pretty impressive.

I laughed and got sad at the same time.
They have to port it to mobile, first.
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).

Bluestacks runs like shit on my mid range gaming PC, so I actually do mind
FFIX is a PS1 game FFS, you shouldn't need high end hardware for it

Wait...wasn't this port built on Unity? Why would they bother with some Bluestack looking thing.
