    Each now gives a ton of leeway with respect to timing/precision of the player's button input, and difficulty caps of the AI itself have been nerfed to hell (e.g. Hippaul caps at his Lv40 running speed all the way through Lv80 now).

    You shouldn't have real trouble manually beating any of those which were difficult on PSX in 2000.
    I read you can just button mash through the jump rope mini game now, that true at all do you know?

    If it's the same version as the PC version most guides just say "use an autoclicker here's how" as getting 1000 jumps is still incredibly difficult. I tried to do it manually and could never get past like 50 or so.

    There's cheats (max level, gil, AP), you can skip cutscenes, skip battle intros, speed up the game. I'm probably forgetting something but it's overall an improved experience, especially if you're replaying the game.

    Wow ho ho, Excalibur 2 is a trophy too on PS4.

    I wonder if that will count the assistive tools.

    Cheats like max level and AP always kind of make me more bored with the game (any game). I wouldn't mind an EXP/AP/Gil drop/etc multiplier cheat to speed things up, but I wouldn't want to get rid of the grinding aspect entirely.

    I recently played DQ8 through an emulator and there were EXP multiplier cheats online. Made a woooorld of difference especially with how grindy Dragon Quest games typically are lol. Saved probably a good 20 hours of metal slime hunting compared to when I initially beat the game back on the ole' PS2. Emulator also had a game speed x2 boost which was heavenly >_>

    Does the PS4 version of IX have HQ backgrounds too? Or is that still just a mod option for the PC version onry?

    Damn. Wish all this shit made it into the vita versions of the PS1 games. I own all of them because I like having the portability.

    If it is the steam version, you can use the speed up, etc. and get it just fine, since that is how I finally did it.

    Does cheats include the fast-forward function, or is that available in normal play? Because fuck trying to play that game without it.

    Stopped playing it on Vita because of all the waiting between and during battles, and it's one of the few PS1 games that seem to have either buffered load times or fixed read speeds, so the fast-read disc option does nothing.

    "Master All Abilities", "Max Gil", and "All Lv99/All Stones" are irreversible, once-per-game cheats.

    "2x FPS Speed Boost", "No Encounters", "Auto-Attack", "Always 9999 DMG", and "Instant Perma-Trance/Full ATB/HP/MP" can all be toggled at any time from the Pause screen, both inside and out of battle.

    Dunno if they'll make QuickSave a feature on PS4 version.

    The music remains synced to normal FPS settings when you're in Speed Boost mode.
    You can also skip CG cutscenes and skip battle intro sequences.

    SE destroyed fewer of FF9's original assets than FF7's or 8's, so Silicon Studio had more to work with when trying to upscale the graphics for this port.
    Both the CGI and character models have been upscaled. Pre-rendered backgrounds have artifacts cleaned up, but retain their original resolutions.
    They also completely redid the UI for touchscreen play, which included high res menus and fonts.

    They updated the ps4 version and now the menu in battle is ugly. I did a good search and people actually like it. I wish I could change it back lol

    Today's patch of FF9 has deleted all game files except the Launcher. No April Fools.

When attempting a fresh install of Final Fantasy IX on Steam after the patch has been applied, the only file that appears to be present in the directory is the launcher. Naturally, the launcher is completely useless without anything to launch, so it looks like Square Enix has managed to delete its own game with a patch. Bravo.
    Spoiler: show


    User Change Log showing ~307 files removed. Shine on you dumb bastards.
