Button Prompts
Considering the old version just uses the PC version buttons (which confused me a lot when I played it), will this have Xbox prompts or PS prompts? Or an option to toggle which to use?

If you are using s PS controller you have to turn *off* steam controller support to have the PS buttons show up.

It should since this version of the game is being released on consoles as well. We can't definitely say "yes" until the game gets released tomorrow, but it would be extremely unlikely that they wouldn't put the controller icon prompts in the PC version of this game. I suspect that the 2013 release didn't have them only because it was a quick cash-grab from SquareEnix where they ported over the original 2000 PC release (bugs and all) with only some screen enhancements and a SLIGHT audio upgrade (which was still downgraded audio compared to the original PSX version). With the incredibly small amount of effort put into the 2013 release it isn't surprising that they didn't bother adding controller icon prompts.

I also saw both xbox and PS prompts png files.
Xbox => 4_xinput.png
PSX => 4_dinput.png

These names gave a hint that I need to make steam recognize my controller as a dinput device not an xinput device. (FYI dinput means direct input which gave me a hint for the generic directx input device)

It seems this can be achieved by settings in big picture => controller settings.
- Turn OFF the PS4 controller support and XBOX controller support
- Turn ON the Generic controller support.
- Unplug and replug the controller.
- Verify it works. (you can move around in big picture mode with it)

After starting the game in this configuration state of the controller, I see PSX buttons.
Check button mappoing sceen (L2+R3) or in Zell status screen at his limit breaks.
