Yeah the loads were insane, I just read a book while I waited lmao. I would hope it's improved since then but I haven't played it since the first couple weeks after launch.

Should pop back in whenever I renew my PS+.

why is Final Fantasy 8 being erased from existence anyway?

like i know not literally, it's on steam or w/e, but it's strange they didn't port it to the Switch

absolutely anything

~As for dreams, she has enough and more to spare~
i think the steam version is still the old rear end pc port so theres no modern version to easily put on switch. also ff8 sucks

The previously done work on it is harder to port. Even if they were willing to spend the money, it would take longer to be releasable.

Yeah the Steam version is just the old PC port with bad music you need to mod to fix lmao

FF9 had a ton of missing assets that eventually turned up or were re-created for the remake, IIRC. It's possible they just don't have much of their FF8 data left.

I think they redid the sprites, and maybe? had the source files for the cinematics for IX. The backgrounds were mostly all lost tho and had to be upscaled so they don't look as slick. FF8 would prob require as much work or more, considering how Japanese gaming companies used to handle saving assets-- aka they would wipe poo poo to make room for the next game or just lose poo poo lmao

I'm amazed they were able to salvage any assets for IX, considering it was made mostly at the Hawaii office.

the ff9 remaster looks worse than the 2d final fantasy phone ports. looking at it makes me QQ

anyway, im pretty sure ff9 was already made with high resolution textures and stuff cos when i emulated the ps1 version i could turn the detail up so high that i could practically read the terms and conditions on the tiny little play ticket vivi holds at the start of the game. which you definitely cant do on a ps1

There's some weird stuff when you emulate it, like the flames in the battles on stage at the beginning make the framerate drop because for whatever reason they're super resource-intensive, but it's also cool to see how insanely hi-res some of the textures on the disc are.

I hope they find the resources to recover lost assets, or at least redo them well for an 8 remaster. It'd be cool to one day see a 1-w/e greatest hits edition.

im no programmer but it seems to me like some of the slow down is probably hard coded into the game to stop it lagging on ps1. like steiners minus strike in the tantalus battle with blank that causes about 5000 oglops to appear

yeah, like i know it;s not the greatest final fantasy game or anything but i'd still like to be able to play it.

i've been playing the PS4 ff7 download and it seems pretty good. it seems like they stealth cleaned up some of the translation, like it says "This guy is sick" now and a few other minor things. being able to do 3x speed is awesome, it would really improve ff8.

I checked it out yesterday it's honestly pretty cool lol. Don't think i'll get into it but I love that they actually preserved the boss mechanics from like 17 different titles and translated them all somehow to a phone game. I'd probably appreciate it more if I had any frame of reference for the million FFXIV raid bosses you fight but just being able to apply things like "don't attack the scorpion in the mako reactor while his tail is up" is sweet

:same: tho Luna would have been interesting, too.

I hope this means Tabata is doing 16 tbh. I'd like to see him try his hand at a mainline title w/o it being him cleaning up someone else's mistakes and jury rigging a game together in a limited amount of time.

ofc any game he makes will end with everyone dying in the end or w/e but I'd still like to see what he might bring!!

e: o nvm just read the article and he left the company :lol:
