Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but it appears that battle animations are directly tied to the game's FPS so 60fps might not be a good idea. I think setting it to 20-25fps is the sweet spot but YMMV.

I install the mod for my sister, but couldn't enable the boosters afterwards. I tried to fix it by editing the Memoria.ini file, but it just won't work. A shame really. Boosters are essential for her enjoyment of this old ass game.
edit: I figured it out yay.

One nice thing about the latest FF9 ports is that it's running at 60 FPS in Unity, so at least the UI isn't garbage like the FF7 and 8. Sadly the animation timings are still locked into 15 (battle) and 30 (field). Fixing those would honestly just make this thing absolutely perfect.
I just got FFIX in the Steam Sale and installed this, can I also get Beatrix playable or are the mods incompatible? Any other notable mods I should get?
The modder behind Alternate Fantasy is working on a compatibility patch, but it isn't out yet.
Is there a mod out there that makes speed-up a one-button operation, like in FF7? IIRC, you need to do a couple inputs to throttle up or down, which is such a pain in the ass. They got this shit right the first time they implemented this feature in Chrono Cross and FFXII Zodiac — and yet, it gets fucked up in other Square games. I just don't get it.
For the love of god Square just throw these wonderful people a big pile of cash and incorporate their work across all versions.
You mean for stuff like jump rope?
There are scripts or you can use cheat engine
Otherwise, just by going by memory, i don't think there is
No no, just for battles really. Like, I can't remember exactly what the cumbersome part was, but it wasn't just one button click like with FF7. You had to pause and then hit speed up, or something.
Ah okay bummer but if Alternate Fantasy changes more I'll do a playthrough with just Moguri for now, thanks!
Enjoy! I'm playing through the game myself and trust me, it worth it. It's beautiful. The modder really put in the work.
Thanks you enjoy it too! :D This will be my 4th playthrough overall and yeah I could see the quality in the beginning already although I'm not that fond of the orchestra tracks so far.
I installed this and while it looks great, the background stutters a bit when I move? Like In the beginning Vivi runs totally smoothly running around but as I move up past the ticket booth and such it kind of hitches ever so slightly moving the background up. It's odd.
I will be playing ff9 for the first time ever soon. I am getting this mod installed, but wanted to know if for my first play through I should install the Beatrix mod as well?
and now I see the Beatrix mod is not compatible at the moment. I'm in no rush, so if the Alternate fantasy mod is truly worth while I will play Ghost of Tsushima first.

Moguri Mod v8.2.0 Released!

As some of you may have noticed, the recent Steam update fixed the mobile Battle UI but completely broke Moguri Mod.
v8.2.0 has just been released that renders it compatible with the latest Steam update, as well as including several additional fixes:

Nice! Giving this a download and going to install it right now. I just started a new game in FFIX not too long ago, this is great.
EDIT: Er, whelp. Just installed it but the game won't load past the title screen splash page lol. Shit.
Aha! This must be why. Yep, same issue. The download link only links to the May 28th, 8.0.1. version.

I tried to get the new version from the mod's link, but the ModDB entry only has the 8.0 version (May 28th). I don't know if somebody else has the same issue, or it is just that the entry is not updated yet.
Edit: Okay, I just turned on my PC and got to the link again, and now it is updated. No worries, just a bit of patience is enough.

Is this what the 9.0 version was going to be? I was waiting until that was released before I was going to play it, and from memory, this seems to have a lot of the improvements in it (and there's no mention of 9.0 on the site now).

Ah, damn. My apologies folks, I jumped the gun a bit and didn't realise that the Moddb page had not yet been updated. Can confirm 8.2.0 is up now:
Moguri Mod 8.2 file
Update of the 8.0 version Moguri Mod is a faithful revamp of the PC version of Final Fantasy IX helped by deep learning techniques (ESRGAN). The most important changes are in the background arts, that are now cleaner, more detailed and higher resolution...
Taken from a reddit post, first image is the old Battle UI, second is the new UI following the patch, third is the PSX version:

Nice, thanks for the heads-up! :)
It really is. I don't know why companies don't license out the neural network upscaling software to help with their remasters. I own a PC so I will mod the game but it's so depressing to me that first time players of classic FF games on consoles have to endure blurry backgrounds for no reason at all.
Hi! Not sure if this is the right place to ask, does this mod work on the Windows Store version of FF IX? I'm planning to try this game out with gamepass!
I'm excited to eventually replay FF9 with this mod. Is it possible to play with analogue controls and not just the standard 8-way or whatever it released on Steam with?
OP
OP
Unfortunately not, no :(
Because Gamepass file directories can't be edited, there's no way to install Moguri Mod on it.
Not yet as far as I know, but if you do get it working please post back here!
Thanks! I've added it to the OP
I replayed the game with this mod earlier this year and it looks simply stunning. One thing I noticed was that the battles were playing out a bit too fast. Luckily it was easily fixed by changing a number in an .ini file and then it was perfect. I really hope someday FF8 will get the same treatment so that I can replay that too.
there already is one that works with the remaster version that's pretty far along. It's locked behind a patreon though.
