Easy Allies - Ian plays Final Fantasy IX for the first time (Easy Update)
- Thread starter ZeoVGM
- Start date
Game holds up replayed it after over 10 years recently only 2 trophies left for the plat.
It's really an amazing game and the remaster speed additions are so so good. I def would have enjoyed my time less if I had to struggle with slow menuing and slow everything.

The difference in the 3d character models between this and VII is remarkable.
Also, I hope the next retro trend is pre rendered backgrounds.

Yeah I also platinumed this game a while back on the PS4 and I am still enjoying it as much as I did when it first came out. It's cool that Ian seems to be into it, and the mods are making the game more beautiful than ever. Hope we'll get a part two soon.

I apologize, I'll be sure to make sure Stinkinmushroom is interested in the topic before making a thread next time.

.. didnt mean it that way. There's an Easy Allies thread in Hangouts and i thought it wasn't allowed to make threads on here about regular episodes.

Seriously, I just want to replay the game now. Haha.
One of the most charming games ever.
My guess is it's ok if you want to highlight a particularly interesting episode.
Nah, you can. Obviously don't flood the forum with threads, hah. The odd thread here and there is fine, though.
I really need to get back to it. I enjoyed what I played. I'm hoping to play through all of the FF games I haven't finished/played this year. I'll start with IX.
holy shit that ai upscaled background is no fucking joke. Wish SE would use whatever that is and patch it into the switch version
they are still fairly common, as seen in, Smash Ultimate
The upscaling is insane. Why can't Square do that themselves? I have the PS4 version and stopped playing because it was so ugly (plus the lack of true analog controls).
I absolutely do not how dare you. I was just heading to the thread on someone else's computer!
Damn that upscale is the truth. To think we could have the game looking like that on Switch lol oh well
Also FFIX has to have one of the most crowd pleasing openings of a game: the play and the little moments with Vivi.
Hope IX gets a remake like VII.

The FF9 opening section is still one of my favourites in the entire medium. The cutscenes make the world feel so grand and lively, and they weave it in and out of gameplay so well. Even the FMVs are integrated so well, though I think those worked better using the original PS1 resolution, since those limitations masked some of the transitions a little better. I also love just how many hidden pick-ups there are in Alexandria. You learn early on that the areas are worth exploring.
Finally, Jason's clearly a person with refined taste. FF9 has the most premium of Moogles. They've got jobs, they've got relationships, they move around, they have opinions on stuff around them, they make little homes, etc. 10/10 Kupo-ing.

Ooof those music arrangements lose a lot of the feel of the original songs. They're not *bad*, but I wouldn't recommend them for a first playthrough.
I legit forget era has light theme as the default until I accidentally click the button or it wants my 2 factor every month.
I know this is going to be an unpopular opinion here, but I never really saw the appeal of FF9 - I loved 7 and 8, and going from the more realistic style to this super-deformed knights and people with monkey tails look didn't interest me at all. I never actually ended up playing it. I didn't play any of the games before 7 though which I'm guessing are more close to this sort of style.
Final Fantasy can be many things. They were just going back to the roots of the series before 7.
I realise that, that's why I mentioned that I hadn't played any of the previous entries - I figure it's harking back to those older titles. It just didn't appeal to me personally, that's all.
