I love playing RPGs on the vita, mostly because of the sleep mode. Often times these games make you go for huge stretches of game without save points which I can't stand. Also it's nice to map controller buttons to the Vita's touch screens, I prefer touching the corner of the screen to advance text instead of the face buttons. I know it's stupid, but I prefer it and appreciate the option.

Holy shit you gain an achievement for not leveling up Squall!

I'd probably buy it if there's a Steam sale or something, but I like the game and bought it on PSN before. I'm still confused how some videos I see on Youtube has Squall very OP in the middle of the game, when I had all the best equipment and still wasn't strong. I don't know what they equipped on each character, but I was jealous.
I got used to the draw system after a while so I didn't dislike the combat. Now the characters on the other hand... let's just say Squall and Zell were the only ones I liked. Every other character was literally my pet peeves come to life.

Wow lolol. The Magic Booster. (Why didn't they try to charge a money transaction on this 
)
I... really enjoyed Final Fantasy 8, even though I didn't understand what the hell is going on during the ending. The way it integrates cutscenes during gameplay was amazing. The music and setting and chocobo world were the best aspects. I'll ignore the characters and customization system for it.

Steam achievements isn't enough to buy/play the game I can already play on 3 different platforms. Doesn't even have any graphical upgrades. Not even widescreen.

took my words
FF9 is the better game.
FF8 is out because a PC port already existed. There is no FF9 port.

Awesome!! Bought FFVII but only have played it for like 20 minutes but it did give me instant nostalgia boner
Does this have the memory card game thing?

Looks like some achievements have no description.
Some like Eden and Omega Weapon Destroyed are a given... but what about Professional Player and Magazine Addict? I guess the former is win 100 card battles? Wonder about Magazine Addict... it can't be the Timber Maniacs one because it has its own achievement. Maybe it refers to all collectible magazines?

It's like FFVII in steam tho. You only need to create once then never bother.
We don't know if there is any DRM right now.
The only thing in the FFVII Steam release is an account creation on first launch. I hate DRM and I don't find that egregious at all.
You will have to let us know, but the regiatry app does not suggest Securom.
Not buying it at this price though, will wait for a discount. I just bought FFVII in the autumn sale too, need to replay it at least once.
Now all they need to do speed up the battles in a future port of FFIX so I can finally beat it.
I guess they didn't want to make it too game breaking (not that the systems in this game aren't broken already, lol). Still, a nice addition I didn't expect to see, it does remove the tedium in drawing those spells.

Trailer shows many key moments in the game. Would avoid if you never played it before. I wish for a Laguna spin off game whenever I watch or play this game.
I hope this paves the way for IX to make it onto Steam.

I'm not entirely against that but if it is restricting my play with online restrictions, activation limits or whatever I'm out.
Why are people mad about an optional stat booster.
I'll never understand, you don't need to use it... it's like complaining about cheats in older GTA. Who cares?
That being said, the hi res images of the game make me forget how janky some things looked when they were rendered back then. Great for the time, but man... VIII was okay though, so whatever.

It's not that bad to be honest. I only had trouble with it on FFVII with the first time I launched the game
You need to junction good magic on to your characters to make them strong.
You don't really need to draw either, just refining cards works well too imo.

Once you get the chocobo just leave it running. It seems to be random, you'll eventually go 100.

listen to the mad man
Professional Player could be getting a complete set of cards. :/

Did the original PC game have any gameplay mods? I'm only familiar with the FFVII stuff.
I don't think anyone who ever played FF8 and understands how drawing spells work in the game thinks this is bad. It's a good feature.
Man look at that bar.... dat bar.

A quick tip for this. You get more magic from enemies if your magic stat is higher, so if you're searching for spells to apply to stats remember to junction the magic stat first.

I'm about 2/3rds of the way through FFIX.
I would drop it instantly if a PC version was announced because I HATE the loading for battles.
But it'll never happen.

Never realised so many people hated it, I must be one of the few who loved all 3 of the PS1 games.
I'd buy it during the next sales but I don't like the battle system.
EDIT: Magic booster looks fun so you don't have to waste hours grinding (right?). Plus what's chocobo world and does it have the same DRM (SEEX Login) as FF VII?
Oiy. This is part of why people hate the game, they get magic in the slowest possible way. Drawing magic isn't recommended anyway. It's so much easier, faster and more efficient to refine magic :/
Fairly hard if they go through and re-render all of their 2D assets at higher resolutions. To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if some of them were already lost to the ages.
Now all they need to do speed up the battles in a future port of FFIX so I can finally beat it.
If they did that, I would try IX again. I have it on PSN but I find the game to be too damned tedious. VIII is kind of in the middle, where if you put the battle speed on high it's tolerable, except for watching the summons over and over. VII had the fastest battle system for the most part, which made it easy for me to jump back in after all these years.
BTW do you guys think there will be a XMas mega sales like the summber/end november ones?
I wasn't in the mood of buying games in the last sale even though I saw some really nice discounts
Yes, this is 100% certain. The Christmas sale is a yearly Steam tradition. Also the dates of it got leaked for this year. 19th-the something or other I forget
I feel like one of the few who didn't really care any of for the PS1 games. I'd, in general, rank snes and PS2 entries above them.
Some people don't care to pull spells for ages when they want to move on in the story. The Junction system was great, but the acquiring magic was a pain in the ass sometimes. Just a matter of convenience.

I'm with you on this one. I loved all the PS1 iterations of Final Fantasy. They remind me of the better times in the series.
Thanks guys, as I said I didn't play the game a lot (not enough to fully understand the battle/stat system) and that's probably why I don't enjoy it
.That's great thanks.
