2GB ram min. for a PS1 port? wat

 

[LQX]

Can't wait to replay it as I never finished it but these re-release should be $9.99 at the most.

Edit: Bah, beaten. Please merge.

 

[Aizo]

Wow. You posted this before my email from steam came about it.

 

[Hasney]

2GB ram min. for a PS1 port? wat

All the OS versions it runs on require 1GB minimum at a base level, so once you factor that in, plus running Steam and likely other background tasks, it's probably easier than putting 1.5 or whatever.

Can't wait to replay it as I never finished it but these re-release should be $9.99 at the most.

Eh, it'll sell regardless. Then sell again once on sale, so the price point works for SQEnix.

 

[Rawket Lawnchair]

WHAT A GREAT DAY

WHAT A GREAT FUCKING DAY

 

[MattPeters]

Whoa, will buy after im done Witcher 3.

Hopefully it isnt a garbage port.

 

[texhnolyze]

Two new FF IX Steam threads. The hype is real.

It's $12 here so I won't complain. Bought it pretty hard.

 

[spineduke]

Can anyone tell us how the port has been handled? Any mouse support? Graphic options? Any upscaling? The slowness of the combat animations drove me crazy in the original.

$20 here so I'll probably wait it out

 

[bobawesome]

Dang! I have to stay strong for Melty Blood. ;_;

 

[Monado Blade]

..... to buy or not to buy.....

BUY!!!

 

[orochi91]

Any reviews/impressions?

Never played this game before because of the art-style.

 

[dc89]

Such a great game. Do I abandon my disc 3 Vita save I am currently chipping away at and just start fresh on the PC?

 

[Mendrox]

How is the PC port?! Can somebody please play it already damn it!

Android and iOS port are very good.

 

[Palette Swap]

I'll let someone else take one for the team and report back.
The Android thing has me a bit wary for some reason.

 

[Shin-chan]

What??? This is the best PS1 FF ... and this release sounds like it will fix the worst problem it has (terrible battle speed).

Get it. Or wait for the inevitable Ps4 port if you don't have a PC.

 

[GoldandBlue]

All this time to port FF9 to PC and they couldn't add a 4th achievement "FLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR!!!!!!!"

 

[d00d3n]

It sounds awesome with a "no encounter" mode. Will probably buy.

 

[TheTux]

2GB ram min. for a PS1 port? wat

It's not a PS1 port.

 

[Sora the Cat]

Does it have widescreen support or does it stretch the image to fit the screen? Or forces 4:3 ratio?

 

[Attleborotaco]

Insta-Buy!

 

[Hasney]

Beaten AND mispelled! ;D

 

[Ninja Scooter]

no more Fanta?

 

[Rawket Lawnchair]

All this time to port FF9 to PC and they couldn't add a 4th achievement "FLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR!!!!!!!"

So I suppose these achievements were unlocked during porting and testing? The game's only been out for twenty minutes, I am still downloading it.

 

[texhnolyze]

http://steamcommunity.com/broadcast/watch/76561198197299399I'm refreshing Steam broadcast and Twitch for FFIX like mad.

Please be good...

Edit: They're up!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

You can just click something and unlock a Steam achievement. The % of people having them mean nothing.

 

[spineduke]

For good reason. A lot of Android ports get on steam with not much added. The OP has some promising PC specific features but I'm not rushing for this.

 

[kurahador]

Those requirement is pretty damn high for PS1 game port.

 

[wmlk]

If only SE's online store hadn't been so ass, I wouldn't have been forced to pay for the PS1 version for a replay and would have instead replayed it on Steam.

 

[Artanisix]

ihaVE TOO MANY FUKCING GAMES TO PLAY FUCK

 

[Newtype-001]

Ill buy it even tho my shitty laptop probably wont run it.
Ill do anything to support FF9

Spoiler

and more final fantasys like it

 

[exmachina64]

Wait, was this just launched with no fanfare or marketing?

 

[mocolostrocolos]

All this time to port FF9 to PC and they couldn't add a 4th achievement "FLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR!!!!!!!"

Haha.

Amazing.

 

[Endgegner]

Dat price though... 21€?

 

[Joqu]

Fucking finally. Gonna wait for some impressions though, I want to make sure the port is worth buying

 

[KingBroly]

No

No


NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Skip jump rope 1000 times in a row and don't screw up

I'm on it. Can only dedicate a few hours but I'll post some screens, at least.

Does it have widescreen support or does it stretch the image to fit the screen? Or forces 4:3 ratio?

From what I understand the mobile version runs at 4:3 with pillarboxes. I don't see why it would differ here.

 

[Asmodai48]

After DS3 will be hitting this up

 

[Coolsambob]

From screenshots, the character models look great but backgrounds look a mess. Any chance of those higher res images being modded in, or would that not really work?

 

[exmachina64]

Those requirement is pretty damn high for PS1 game port.

"HD" cutscenes and character models were added.

Does it have widescreen support or does it stretch the image to fit the screen? Or forces 4:3 ratio?

The screenshots are pillarboxed.

 

[d00d3n]

Are the Steam versions of the PS1 Final Fantasy games now the best way to play those games? Or can you improve the graphics by emulating on PC instead?

I think the PS4 version's the best way to play FF7, but I'm unsure

 

[Joyful]

Any reviews/impressions?

Never played this game before because of the art-style.

its the most boring ps1 final fantasy imo
its not terrible but I couldn't finish it
tetra master minigame is fun though

 

[Rad-]

16,79€. Okay it's about time to replay this shit.

 

[d00d3n]

Hmm, interesting. Why is the PS4 version better?

 

[Possumowner]

Well I guess I'll add this to my collection, doest look to bad of a port
