This looks like a terrible port

[Jeeves Stobbs]

Well, if the footage shown is actually what theyre offering. i'd say no. if i really want a phone game, i'll buy it on my phone. the frames look awful and im beginning to seriously doubt 16-9.

not to mention the release date.. this is unreal, it's been pushed back so far.. you could literally emulate the ps1 version in about 2 weeks.

avoiding at all costs for these reasons.

FF9 for mobile is a quality port. You do realize they would have to redo the back ground art to make it 16-9 and having it stretched would make it look terrible.

They can't do anything about 16:9. They'd have to redraw all of the areas. Read the article "the challenges of porting FFIX to mobile" or something. Plus, everything would look squished in 16:9.

There's nothing in the PC trailer that makes the game look like a terrible port at all. I mean, knowing Square they'll probably f it up, but it looks totally fine in the trailer.

Also, the game is probably going to release in two days.

[Insomnus]

Why where you expecting anything different? Even if there was no mobile version the then only pc release would be no different than what we are actually getting.

they aren't going to redraw every background art just for a port.

Exactly.

Sad that they have to leave it up to modders or something, but that's just how business works. It wouldn't be profitable enough to put all that effort in ;_;

Not for a 15 year old game no.

Yeah. Unless there was an INSANE amount of requests for a true remaster of the game, much like how everyone begged for an FF7 remake, then they probably would add HD backgrounds and the whole 16:9 shizz.

FF7 remake has a better chance at making the $$ back than a ff9 remake or remaster

Yeah. Shame FF9 kind of has a cult following.

Dude. The game is an old PS1 game. And it isn't in high demand. We are sort of lucky they're doing this. It's not a remaster or remake. It's a port. The ♥♥♥♥ you want?

The End is Near, listen to me people we don't have much time, here is a tin hat it prevents them from reading your mind gah eh uh ah peanut butter.

We are lucky utility engine exists. PC getting a benefit of the utility engine ports to mobile is added bonus.

Yeah, it's super frustrating to have early 2016 pushed back to early 2016.

You never developed a game for a pc before have you? Its not that simple.

If you didnt notice almost all Steam FF games was ports from mobile
