Android UI will be a giant "♥♥♥♥ you" to the fans.

[Kraust]

There have been people waiting for years to replay FFIX (such as myself) and would rather play on Steam rather than with their old disty PS1 copies. It will be unacceptable if the UI is the abomination that is the Android UI.

This is the major cry that I have seen consistency since the Android release. This UI is terrible for PC, and if Square Enix put so much effort into touch controls for a non-gaming platform then they should try and implement a real PC release for once.

The past FF ports (besides VII, and the XIII trilogy) have been absolutely horrible and do not live up to their console counterparts when they could potentially do so much better.

If FFIX does not live up to my standards (or PC gaming standards) then I will simply not buy another Square Enix product again after supporting the company for 16 years. End of story.

Final Fantasy IX is one of my favorite games (in my top 5). If Square Enix doesn't appreciate how excellent the game is then I cannot do business with them anymore.

ok

[Gilbertify]

Yeah, that'd just be the epitome of lazy porting.

I can't believe Square approves of these lousy jobs. I do feel like a little more love will be put into this port compared to past mobile ports since they added HD cutscenes, but you can never be too sure >.>

I'm honestly fine with the grey borders (they said they couldn't do widescreen anyway), and i'm fine with it being locked at the mobile resolution and framerate (720p, 60 FPS or 1080p?), but the UI. It's just too big and the amount of spells to cycle through is tiny!

[Sawt0othGrin]

I sincerely doubt it'll be 60fps

[Kraust]

Yea I see gray borders as a non-issue. Widescreen support is really in the nice to have category when you're dealing with a 15 year old game with prerendered assets. Something as simple as the UI (which was redone for mobile) should be given a decent attempt.

Even FFVIII, you can't use an analog stick to control the vehicles like you can in the PSX version because it's based off of a shoddy late 90s port when analog controllers didn't widely exist.

Yeah, Grim Fandango is another game with pre-rendered backgrounds. It also had to have borders as well. Sucks but nothing we can do about it, nor can the people who made IX PC.

OOOH BATTLES ARE 15 FPS.

Everything else is 60 FPS. Walking around is in 60 FPS, Menus are 60 FPS, etc.

Buttons that fills up half of my screen?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Hype train derailed.
Although seriously that would be annoying, I hope they at least resized it.

No they aren't. Menus are the only thing at 60 in 7 and 8. Walking in the prerendered backgrounds is at 30fps and same in the overworld.
