Final Fantasy IX (PC/Android/iOS)

[Mugekuge]

For whoever cares there is around in the webs .apk of ffix for free, and adding to the discussions ff9 gameplay was really fun although i had some glitches to run it back in the day on epsxe emulator (game used to crash on CS of Garnet cutting her hair off) had to skip CS to continue playing it.

Worst ff was mystic quest.

Ff8 on PC was worst port ever of a game in history, shit used to be a pain to play it (game was unplayable until a patch was released), only thing i liked a lot was triple triad but man what a terrible port for PC.

Tactics was incredible just because was a mix between a strategy game with a RPG and the result was excellent.

Kinda curious to try the download thing, but I'm nab at getting my phone to recognize the apk.

Just bought FF9 on my iphone 6, so far I'm liking the how they set it up. Not bad at all for something made exclusively for touch screen. The controls aren't really as clunky as I thought they would be.

One beef I do have though, is the cheats I saw in the config menu:

Master Abilities: (Abilities will be mastered automatically upon obtaining weapons and gear.)
Lv/Mag Stone Max: (Character level and magic stone count will be set to maximum.)
Gil Max: (Your character's gil will be set to maximum.)

Things like that are part of the enjoyment of the game, why would you want to ruin the flow with things like that. These cheats are available from the very beginning of the game.

Long game on a mobile device. It's an option to skip the grind and there's no one forcing you to use them I also enjoy doing all that stuff and FFIX surely isn't the worst when it comes to grinding but it's nice to have that option.

If I buy the game one day I'd maybe use those cheats for Excalibur 2 on a "new game +"

[vivbiibasjiu]

I've never been able to finish New Game + in any game for that exact reason. It's just mindnumbingly boring when I'm invincible and everything dies in one hit. It defeats the entire purpose of an RPG, if you're going to cheat might as well just get it over with and watch the cutscenes on YouTube and skip the walking simulator part. It just destroys the point of doing anything at all. "Cool, I found a treasure chest? Oh wait, it's useless because I'm already a god. Sweet, I got a quest to get a special item? Oh wait, that's worthless too. Wow a secret powerful boss? Oh wait I just one-shot him"
Motivation just goes down the toilet, even if it's "legit" with New Game+
Cheating on a real new game you haven't played before is just unfathomable to me, why would someone purposely ruin something they paid for?

[BWYuko]

Nothing easy about trying to complete the entire pictobox figurine quest on NGC Wind Waker's new game+.
Or immediately killing Lavos at the Millennial Fair in CT's new game+. Which games are you really talking about here? Tales?
Sounds like the sorta games you're complaining about are easy to begin with.

And to echo Alkar: if you don't want to cheat, don't use the cheats. What the fucking fuck.

[Draylo]

Christ that guy is annoying as fuck, lol. He thinks anyone that cheats doesn't know how to play video games or something.

[vivbiibasjiu]

If you want to use cheats because you're bad at games and/or lazy, feel free. No one is stopping you. But I reserve the right to judge you for it, cheater

[Tyrath]

Complaining about people cheating on single player games is like complaining about people having gay sex. It's none of your goddamn business.

[vivbiibasjiu]

Doesn't change the fact that you're cheating. Cover it up all you want with whatever justifications you please

Is that you Starcade?

[Tyrath]

Yeah, but. Who cares?

[vivbiibasjiu]

Yeah, but. Who cares?

Doesn't matter if anyone cares or not, people will judge you regardless. Obviously not other cheaters but they have no say in anything anyway. To me, anyone who uses "cheats" to make a game easier, is a bad gamer. I'm sure many agree. And if you use them in a multi-player game such as FFXI, you're a scumbag full stop. Using it in an incredibly easy single player RPG though is just sad and pathetic lol

But I fully support your right to gameshark all your single-player games, it doesn't affect me, I'm not the one spoiling the fun for myself so it's okay in my book! Just don't think you're entitled to my respect for being a cheater

[Krandor]

How dare someone play a game the way they want.

[vivbiibasjiu]

How dare someone play a game the way they want.

How dare someone have an opinion on how they view people whose method of playing a game the way they want is destroying any semblance of challenge whatsoever!

You assume everyones definition of fun is the same. I changed the weight limit on my character in FO4 because shuffling through tons of junk isn't my idea of fun. It enhanced the game for me, not spoil it.

But go ahead and be a moron about it because I cheated.

[TheDirtyHobo]

What challenge?

[Ratatapa]

Cheating when it only affects you = who cares
Cheating when it ruins the fun for others = fuck no

[Krandor]

What challenge?

We're living in a world where most video games aren't actually quite easy and made for the lowest common denominator.
