      Editing … You need the Moguri mod to make it look good. But even then, it is inferior to the original PS1 version due to some new bugs and inaccuracies. Also it can randomly crash when you get in a fight, resulting in a black screen with the music still playing.

      Editing … I knew within minutes it sucked. They changed the translation. When vivi drops his ticket the little girl says "you dwopped your ticket" in the PS1 game like a child might say, but they corrected it in Steam. It's just not the same, it looks kinda the same but it's all wrong underneath.

      Editing … Huh, interesting... they didn't change the German translation at all, thankfully. It's just as perfect as it was when it first came out <3

    I've played some more Steam FF9 and I keep wishing I was playing the PSX version. I've thought about switching but I'd have to start again, and I'm already through the ice cavern. I might stick with it just for the Steam achievements, I enjoy getting those.

      Editing … It's the same, I'm sure of it. This "remaster" was pretty much built for smart devices so the menus are the same on every version.

    Who got the most jump ropes then?

    I did it yesterday and got 55 straight off, not bad considering I was drunk. I've never gotten 100 though, not even close, maybe 80.

    It's right at the beginning of the game and you can try as often as you like if anybody fancies a challenge? Winner gets bragging rights as the best skipper on Favslist.

    The Steam game is alright but it can't compete with the original PS1 version. The menu is all wrong, it doesn't work, I'll trade the improved visuals for the original menu any day.

    Even though it's 18 years old with a shitty menu this game is still a fucking 9/10. What a game this is, so, so good.

    Playing FFIX. Got cocky by not buying very many items cause it's an easy game. Ran out of phoenix downs in Gizamaluke's Grotto and had to run back to Lindblum as just Freya. For a moment there FFIX turned into Etrian Odyssey. Hardcore shit.

      Editing … Oh yeah, I dunno if I told you guys but this is in my top 25 games now. I completed a third and fourth playthrough this year and have now gotten as much out of it as VIII, X, and Tactics: WotL.

      Editing … My first playthrough's a bit of a blur. I blasted through in two weeks. Back then I liked the cast more but wasn't as into the setting and plot and FMV as I am now. How easy the game is has been gradually growing on me. You get SO much EXP, but it's not quite so easy that it's boring. It helps that the final boss is a bit challenging, so nothing you do is really pointless, since eventually you're going to have to face that.

      Editing … I wouldn't say cancer. I blasted straight through the game on my fourth playthrough, rushing good, and the only thing I had to do to prepare for the final boss was go through the final dungeon a second time. It's still the game's toughest story boss, but V's final boss takes a lot more grinding.

    Booted up my old FFIX save. I forgot about all that Terra stuff. How did I beat the game in 40 hours the first time? Now I'm at 40 hours and still on disc 3. I don't find the battles fun, they're so slow and clunky, thank goodness they give lots of exp. This music is outstanding: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1kNuPj2vO8

    Final Fantasy IX on PC worked today. For some reason.
    Anyways, let's get to my first impressions!

    This game works fine with the DualShock 4 and DS4Windows. The buttons are automatically assigned. Strangely, the O button is for "confirm" while the X button is for "cancel" - it is usually the other way around. Swapping the buttons in the game's options worked for me.
    The text font is really boring and generic. The sound effects are strange: they sound somewhat different from the original. I especially noticed this with the sword slash. It doesn't sound nearly as epic as in the original, as if it was cut off for some reason. The German text is unchanged and uses the old German spelling (before the German orthography reform of 1996). Yes, the backgrounds are blurry but it isn't as bad as I thought it would be. The character models look really nice. I discovered new details that I'd miss in the original PS1 game.
    What bothers me is that there's an exclamation mark symbol when standing next to NPCs. In the original game an exclamation mark symbol would only appear if there's some sort of secret item to find (or a switch to execute). Every time I stand next to an NPC I don't know whether there's a secret item on the ground or if I'm interacting with the NPC.
    The CGI sequences look amazing, the video quality is much better than in the original PS1 release.

    Well, that's it for my first impressions.
