Mister Jack Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Can anyone confirm that the DS4 works with the PC version of FFIX? I am having an unbelievably hard time getting it to work right with FFVII and I'm not about to buy another port that fucks up something as simple as the controls.

TheMightyEthan Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Dean said he had problems with the ds4 but his 360 controller worked fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 The reason FFVII and FFVIII have shitty controller support is because S-E just threw the old ports from the late 90s on Steam with little to no work done on them. It's not just the DS4, even my DS3 (which was a 360 controller as far as my PC could tell) didn't work all that well with it. FFIX is a brand new port, though. So, I'd expect it to be more in line with modern expectations from a PC port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Dean said he had problems with the ds4 but his 360 controller worked fine. Not my 360 controller, but yeah this is correct. And that was both running it natively as DS4, and with running it with DS4Windows that makes it appear as Xinput. Sounds like Steam Controller has similar issues too.

toxicitizen Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Now that FFIX is finally out, it looks like there's been some activity on the FFX/X-2 listing according to SteamDB. At this point, that's all the confirmation I need. Kinda surprised to see activity so soon after FFIX's release, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 Final Fantasy X | X-2 HD Remaster hitting Steam May 12th. That's surprisingly fast after FFIX's release. I guess the assumption that they had been sitting on a completed port for a while was true. That's now FFIII through XI + XIII and XIV we have on Steam. All that's missing is I and II as well as XII, which is rumored to be the next one to get the remaster treatment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 Yeah hoping for FFXII but I reckon that's maybe some ways out. I don't know if to condemn or commend their Steam release strategy, since we had FFIX go up end of 2015 listed as "Early 2016" then suddenly change to launching in April followed by this popping up in the database, then suddenly being "yeah this'll be out in two days". I won't be buying though, I got the HD remaster on PS4 only just last year, but strongly recommend it to anyone yet to play it. Pretty solid line-up n after FFXII one of the better Final Fantasies for a HD upscale (FFXII actually has HD-quality textures cos it wasn't sure if it'd be a PS3 game or not, and it looks sweet just running in PCSX2). It's my go to "my first final fantasy" recommendation, the battle system is rather forgiving and best of all obvious, like it's "red barrels explode" kind of enemies and I really like that. Playing FFIX and while I love it none of the elemental weaknesses really make much sense (the "this is undead, throw a phoenix down on it" or "this is stone, throw a Soft on it" enemies are really the only obvious ones). The way Aeons play was a great step-up from essentially just being super-powerful black magic of the old games. Solid voice cast too. Some meta-humour to be derived from Bender advocating against machines (though it's not beyond Bender to do that either). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 Guhhhh, why is the FF game I most want to see on the PC the one they insist on dragging their feet with? JUST DO IT ALREADY!

toxicitizen Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 They're bound to announce the FFXII remaster sooner rather than later. They've pretty much run out of mainline FFs to dump on Steam and FFXV is almost out the door. They'll probably go back and bring I and II at some point but what after that? Considering how well most of their releases have done, I don't expect they'll just stop. This is where things could get interesting. For example, an obvious one is the mobile port of Final Fantasy Tactics. They could easily port that over. Most of the mainline Dragon Quest games are also on mobile. That could provide them with another steady stream of releases that would last them at least a couple years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 We knew it was coming, and now it's officially teased. Happy that it's not just the opening cos I was like "of course this'll look good, it's an FMV". The textures on the original were really good anyway and looked pretty sweet in PCSX2, so it'll visually scale up to HD quite well. Main thing will be seeing what changes are made cos there was the "international Zodiac job system" or whatever version it was that came out in Japan that mixed up a bunch of the levelling mechanics n got rid of the stupid ass 4 treasure chest zodiac spear shitfest they put in. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanb Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 Unsure if played FFXII or not, but they'll be the Judges. They're cool, and actually the main characters you see the models/action figures of in Forbidden Planet n such too from FFXII. (and I guess also Fran n Baltheir...which if you've not played FFXII he shares the same VA as the...errr...relic people things in Destiny in the Queens space port thing. I've not played Desting in a while). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 Hell yeah, about time they confirmed this one. FFXII was great! Kinda weird that they're only announcing for PS4, though. We all know it'll inevitably come to PC eventually. Hopefully it won't take 2 fucking years this time, though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 I imagine it's cos while it's no doubt going to be on PC, they won't know a date so best to avoid mentioning it for now (also it's a Japan trailer and I imagine they don't care much on the PC as much as the west). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 Oh, good point. Yeah, makes sense not to mention it in a Japan trailer, I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangelove Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 I thought this game was really dull when I originally played it. Both in story and gameplay. Just standing there not doing shit. So noninteractive. I wonder if the zodiac job system will be different enough that it will change my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMightyEthan Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 I don't think it's been officially announced, but going by the pattern it is almost certainly coming to PC: http://www.pcgamer.com/final-fantasy-12-remake-the-zodiac-age-announced/ (As the article points out, the FF10 PC remaster was only announced a week before it was released) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 (edited) Yeah, if IX and X came to PC, this is most certainly coming as well. The only question is when. The real question is what they'll do with Kingdom Hearts. I'm also curious about their stance on spin-offs like World of Final Fantasy. I assume it'll come but you can never be sure about what goes on in S-E's demented brain. Edited September 19, 2016 by FLD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 Final Fantasies on Steam: FFIII FFIV FFIV: The After YearsFFV FFVI FFVIIFFVIIIFFIX FFX/X-2FFXIFFXIIIFFXIII-2FFXIII-LRFFXIV FF Type-0 Final Fantasies not on Steam: FFIFFII FFXII FFXV FF Tactics The odds are pretty in the favour of FFXII getting a PC release come end of '17. Type-0 n FFX got HD ports on console then ported over to PC so even stronger odss. They've even alluded to bringing FFXV to PC too. Steam Spy puts FFX HD at 200K owners which isn't bad for a primarily PC game. 160K for FFIX. Even Type-0, the sort of step-child of the series has 130K, and FFVII rocks in at a pretty decent, and somewhat expected, 1,000K (which it's sold without steamworks on the S-E store, since I have that version, so that won't even be all the copies). XII will be rocking mainly for the fact that as anyone who played it in PCSX2 knows, it came with HD-ready textures already. It released in 2006, just as 7th gen was bursting on to the scene. I think there was the anticipation of it being played on PS3. Main downfall is the mushy text and maps. I imagine upon release someone will do a "PCSX2 versus Zodiac Age" comparison. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 (edited) Some playthrough of FFXII: Zodiac Age at Bhujurbe. I think this is the current set-piece for the demos at the moment, makes sense I guess. Very little spoiler, get a bunch of town and a dungeon and a couple scenes all in a close area. The game graphics I'd say are only slightly improved if any over the scaling of PCSX2 but as mentioned above that's not a surprise given the original quality of the textures that came with the game. The text though is beautifully crisp as are all the HUD elements and nice to see the QOL additions suck as Benny Hill mode which in combination with the in-built gambit system will be nice. Shame they were locked out of the menus on this but I guess it's still half a year off so a strict demo atm makes some sense. World of Final Fantasy I'm aware of being upcoming but I've a feeling it's gonna drop under the radar. Seeing the video piqued my interest slightly but tbh seems like it might be better suited to something like Vita if that wasn't pretty much dead. My dad actually thought I was watching someone play Pokemon (he might have greater rose tinted glasses than I. ) The stack stuff seemed kinda neat, and I guess as they're saying it's pretty much "Final Fantasy: Pokemon" in many core elements. No idea if it has a decent story though I feel with the looks and such it's not aiming for anything overly complex.

deanb Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 So World of Final Fantasy isn't really much on my radar, maybe if it was on sale some point n I was slim on games (hah). But chibi Sephiroth is something Oh I've also updated the above links to the direct feeds too. (same in the FFXV threads) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
