The remasters will be ported to the PS5, you will buy them and you will love it.
Wow I never thought they'd fix it.
did the ps4 ff12 get those extra features I heard the Xbox ver apparently got? Need to look into it some more

Nope. Those are still Switch and Xbox One exclusive. PS4 and PC players are out of luck.
Yes. They patched that a month after its release. Compare that to all these years of waiting for the PS4 fix.

Excellent. So the Asian release for it is complete. Exciting.
Lmao WHOA! Fucking finally! Jesis christ. Five years. So the incorrect music during the Cloud's past cutscene and the overworld music starting over after each battle have both been corrected?
For anyone following along, the story of the Squaresoft intern continues...

Wait, FFIX also got patched to fix its music bug? On the Switch?
I may finally pick that game up if that's the case. That would be fantastic.

They're not fixing that, it's an issue from the PC port.
Basically any issues still remaining in VIII Remastered are due to the PC version, they can't do much about that.
Probably moved on from FFVII to FFIX to FFVIII, didn't intend to provide much post-launch support in general, but internalized enough of the criticism that the impetus provided from the highly publicized Switch releases was enough to put the PS4 versions back on the radar.
And FFVII:R means FFVII is a subject of constant discussion again.
The fact that these remasters released with these issues and then abandoned for so long continues to be mind-boggling, but otherwise, the timing of these fixes kinda makes sense?
This, too.
I will never understand this from developers/publishers. Just make them all as equal as possible ya fuckers.
Same. Especially when we're talking about remasters. For a game like Dragon Quest XI, the PS4 version should have included orchestral music to begin with and I think it's fair game to think that should have been patched it. I'm fine with new additional features in general coming to a much later port of a same gen game to make up for the delay (although in every single case, being an early adopter of a Square Enix means you'll end up with quite a significantly inferior version to the point where it kind of feels like you're being treated like a beta tester). Heck, even Konami kept patching the latest Bomberman game on Switch with the new stuff added in the PS4 and Xbox One ports. But indeed, you'd think they'd work on making remasters as equally definitive as possible. And certainly not come with broken RNG and music bugs on disc, for example.
No idea about the flashback music. People need to report in on that. I think we also need a confirmation on whether or not the scene with President Shinra after a major event in Midgar still has music from a prior event bleeding into it or not.
But it would at least seem that getting into battles no longer reset whatever music is playing when triggered (and not just on the overworld).
That one's still not entirely fixed. The music doesn't loop properly and cuts out too soon. At least it doesn't play the Mako Reactor theme at that point anymore, but still.
Play it after, don't have your playthrough of VII tainted by that garbage :P
They fixed this issue in the Xbox One version the same time they fixed it on Switch.
Better late than never I guess. I dropped my playthrough a long ass time ago because this was really irritating.
It was a preorder bonus iirc. Not sure about now. It's a great theme.
I was literally looking at comparison vids of the different versions last night, as I assumed this bug was patched already, and was gonna buy it until I found out it wasn't the case.
I do have it on PS1, but it's a pain to hook my CRT and PS2 up of I want to play, and where I was up to (I remember being at the Palmer fight in Rocket Town, although when I loaded my save I was back outside Nibelheim, so I mustn't have saved since getting Vincent) I was super underleveled, and I was missing a load of enemy skills and materia, and hadn't really bothered levelling materia etc., as I hated the battle system on it. A fresh playthrough might be enough to get me through the game, and if it has fast forward features, that's perfect to get back up to speed.
Obviously I'm not gonna fast forward the staircase route though.

Oh, I'm aware. It's just an extremely shitty issue and they could fix it if they wanted to spend the resources to do so.
