Final Fantasy IX's PS4 remaster has "Hail to the King," a truly Herculean achievement for mastering a difficult minigame.
Check out the new additions of Final Fantasy IX merch launched for the 25th anniversary, featuring a charming Vivi mug and plush bag.
@andy85 so you can get it from PlayAsia no Tarrifs but shipping is 23$ at least ,but it is an option. A little less than 50$ with shipping. I had to have it
Coming out at £44 ($60) here. Jeez as much as I want it that's a little bit of a stupid price. Managed to find it for £35 elsewhere. Still crazy for a mug. Might wait and see if the square Enix store get it
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).
“Back then, you could be happy just jumping a little and going on with your life. But now there’s an achievement.”
Lmao it’s tragically hilarious how a gold Trophy can cause people to do even the most absurd things in games that weren’t designed for Trophies in mind.
I used a similar script (not my own) via Remote Play for grinding Tomb Raider multiplayer level 60. Just ran solo matches with the script pausing and unpausing so that the game didn't recognise me being AFK for 3-4 days.
I can see me using the linked script for the Jump Rope trophy if/when I get round to it.
