The GIFs really make this the LP FFIX desperately needed. There's incredible animation work that was naturally an evolution of what they did with FF8's models. Though The White Dragon's LP had a lot of cool Hawaiian references as the game was created in Square's Hawaii studio.

Mega64, would you post some of the lost art of FFIX as we get to some of those backgrounds in-game? There's so much detail lost in the compression to PSX resolution ratios. If you haven't seen it, just put it into Google. I was going to link it, but it contains spoilers.

Rigged Death Trap posted:Oh how I would kill for a hi-res prerender backgrounds version of FFIX Here's grandmas house in Alexandria:  Not everything is available, but you can find the original resolutions of a good chunk of backgrounds in the game since it was created by a largely multicultural team with Western artists that still keep their portfolios around. It's the closest you'd get, sadly. Ubiquitous_ fucked around with this message at 10:24 on Jul 7, 2015 |

Digital Jello posted:I agree with this, but we have to wait to see Steiner's character a bit more before I delve into reasons why. The original designs of his 3D render did actually give him visible eyes, but then they put a belt on him. Appreciating Steiner I think largely depends on how much you enjoyed Falstaff in Henry IV. There's a distinct influence there.

Rabbi Raccoon posted:As much as I love this game, I really feel like this is one of the weakest moments, especially if you've played through before. After a fun, exciting intro, the plot more or less stalls until you get to the first town. The entire Evil Forest sequence is awesome, though.

A couple of things I really like that have been shown so far: The title text of each new area (which is always different font & design for every place), and the Cave Imp enemy. They programmed a sound effect for when you kill them so that you can hear when they slip and fall on their face when they die. I always liked that. It's just a little thing that they didn't have to do but also nailed the whole "you're fighting on ice" thing.

Bad Seafood posted:Too bad Quina and Amarant never get any cutscenes. Amarant's looks like it would've been dope. Well, you do seem them in CGI very briefly at the end of the game.

This FMV sequence is my favorite in the series. The music, the cinematography, and the action are just amazing.

Two things I loved: One is that I almost shot Rockstar out of my nose with the Zaghnol-bullet-gif. Secondly, I love that the Zaghnol's Heave and Zidane's animation are so well synced. FFIX has such incredible animation work.

KataraniSword posted:The only characters we have currently that use more than one type of weapon are Zidane (daggers and thief swords) and Garnet (staves and... uh... lacrosse rackets). The only character we haven't seen yet with more than one type of weapon uses the same weapon types as Garnet.

Were you gonna fight any Mandragoras near Quan's Dwelling? Pretty good source of EXP right now, even though their gimmick can really gently caress you up if you don't keep track of their HP.

Esto Gaza has one of the best town themes in any FF, but is also probably the least fleshed-out of any city in the game in terms of content. Probably my favorite snow/ice-themed village in the series, though.

Memoria's theme music is really, really good. Extended versions of it on Youtube make for great background/reading/mellow-out tunes.
