"Good news PS VITA lovers, it seems the beautiful port of Final Fantasy IX could be heading straight to your devices."
Square Enix's latest post on X features a quote from Final Fantasy 9, suggesting a Remake announcement could be imminent.
I wonder if it’ll be a Remake or simply a Remaster though. Remake suggests a complete rework and overhaul like with FF7.
Remaster is already out.
Remake will blow my mind!! I didn’t play this for a very long time and day one collector edition. One of the most memorable games from PS1
FF7 is a lot more than just a remake. It's a more like a re-imagining bordering on a reboot/sequel. There are plenty of remakes that are not just remasters that don't go anywhere near that far. Examples include Demon's Souls (2020), Resident Evil (2002), Tony Hawk 1+2, etc.
is 9 really the best in the series? i'm not into FF but i heard a few fans make that claim
Even though it's not my PERSONAL favorite, I would say yes, it's the best game in the series.
7 & 9 for me. It's a lot more simple and charming than many other FF games, but still has layers of complexity. It also have my (and many others) favourite character in any FF, Vivi.
6, 7, 8, 9 & 10 are generally considered the best of the series. That was the golden age for Final Fantasy. They're all quite different from each other though. So it's impossible to really say which one is the "best" in the series. Since their tone, setting, characters, world & gameplay is always changing.
You hit the nail on the head, I think the reason 6-10 are considered the best is because they all excel at something unique and stand out
6 is very much the majora's mask of the FF series, it has a massive cult following and has the best villain
7 is the face of FF and a general entry point into series and the first 3D FF, the materia system is 10/10
8 is the dark horse and the most adult and the junction system is the most complicated out of the series (my personal favourite)
9 is the most charming one and although it has dark moments its generally quite light hearted and feel good
10 critically I would say is the best one with the best single player story to any FF and the graphics leap was insane from PS1 to PS2 and whenever I recommend an JRPG I say FF10
7 for me, most would say 6 or 7, but FF9 was well known for being underrated, even for it's time, I rank FF9 pretty highly, even if it's not my favourite.
Snookies12 pretty much has the right idea, you can't go wrong with the golden era of Final Fantasy.
9 was the last great traditional ff game.ffx was great but it was the beginning of the end.ffx paved the way for what we know as ff today.
An alleged pitch presentation for an animated series based on Square Enix's Final Fantasy IX has emerged on the internet.
I'm not feeling great about this either, but even if this project survives and sees the light of day, I'm not too keen on what SE puts out these days (even if they only co-produce/work on it).
While the PS Vita will go down as a commercial failure, its prospects weren’t that bad when it was announced. Yes, smartphone gaming was getting bigger at the time, but Sony matched the price of the Nintendo 3DS with a much more powerful machine, and the PSP had been hugely successful, selling over 80 million units.
But everything changed when Monster Hunter 4 was announced as a Nintendo 3DS exclusive.
I never liked the analog sticks of the vita. Plus, people wanted more bang for their buck, cross play titles with ps4, not spinoffs
I thought I'd like the analogue sticks more than I did. They were better than the PSP stick but not by much. The Switch has a decent pair of sticks but still could be better.
Well, Vita had a lot of exclusives after launch, but nobody bought them, and gaming media had it in for them too.
Unit 13 - I enjoyed it. Not amazing, but still decent.
Gravity Rush / Daze - This one got some credit.
Uncharted Vita - Again, a decent game. Was it as good as the console games? No, but that's hardly apples to apples is it?
Soul Sacrifice - Only played a bit, but quite well regarded.
Oboro Muramasa - Great
There's a few exclusives.
Ps Vita but not PS4? Doubt it, especially since the user base on PS4 is definitely miles higher than the Vita. Unless there's something I'm missing as to why this would happen.
......... The Vita still exists?
There is no way the Vita is getting something like this if the PS4 isn't.
I'd definitely get this on vita right away. Rpg's on the go all day every day please.
I'd appreciate a physical copy on Vita
