We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
Yeah the issue is the trance can pop on any random mob and you have to use it or lose it. You can't hold onto it for a boss like in 7.
On the flipside there are better ways of just dealing damage so the whole thing is kinda devalued to a point.

in a world where i have more time i already would have played it, but especially with the (rumored) promise of a remake on the horizon it's hard for me to justify the time, unless it's a FFVIIR situation where the timelines/universes may be different
Some of the transformations might break the bosses if you could strategically preserve trances when it's convinent. I guess they could add trance crystals or some new mechanics that let you pause the meter but it's a gamble whether you're willing to sacrifice the gems or sell them for gil or the smitheries.
Unless, of course, you want new games with turn-based mechanics, in which case Square kicks you in the crotch and smears a rotten banana in your eyes.
actually they will just direct you to one of the best turn based games of the decade aka octopath traveller 2
*Raise hand*
Necron is a great thematic finale to FF IX's message against nihilism. I had heard so much shit about the boss before playing, and once I got to the end, I was shocked, because it worked far better than I was lead to believe.
That being said, I know it's a relatively common opinion to dislike(or like less) the last disc of FF 9, and I love a lot of it, so might just be different strokes.
The title "final fantasy" should have been implied in my statement.
they probably will do 8 after they end with 7 since it has realistic models, ix has "short" models making them look child like so it fits better for a quick cash grab
Not to beat a dead horse, but what I wouldn't give for a full remake of FF7 in this style. I'm looking forward to Ever Crisis, but I have a feeling it just won't be the same.I can see it being similar to Ever Crisis, minus the mobile and episodic aspect.
Ever Crisis looks alright, but not nearly as good as the original PSX games IMO.
You can tell they're ripping the environments from an existing game.
Edit: actually, I've seen some shots like the library scene and it looks quite good. Still, not as dense and detailed as I'd like a IX Remake to look like!

Last disc is essentially only the final dungeon. I guess you meant people who don't like the story towards the end when it moves to the Terra arc. I loved it all and the art design of Terra.
I hope they fix the combat. They delay between you choosing an attack and that attack actually happening in the original is insane, especially compared to 7/8 where it's basically instant.
They absolutely need to. IX has one of the best stories in the series but its combat is terribly slow.
I don't even like FF9, it might be near the bottom of my FF rankings, but I agree Necron was great and very much fit the themes. And it's not like FF doesn't have plenty of precedent for last minute "the real big bad is actually...". It is almost a trademark of the classic games, which FF9 calls back to heavily. And 8 did it right before.
Kuja is the big bad,
I just see Necron as a force he unleashes, Death, doomsday, he tries to commit suicide and tries to shatter the crystal of origin. He has a meltdown after learning about his limited genome life span and throws the fight, saying everything is pointless, so it makes sense he's not the final confrontation.
Huh? In what world is VIII more popular than IX? I have yet to see a poll where it ranks higher than IX. It sold more initially, but that's about it.
I wasn't even convinced the Necron fight literally happened. I always just thought it worked as a metaphor for the characters coping with mortality and fear of death
It used to be more popular and it sold more, but, yeah, IX's fanbase has only grown in the last fifteen years or so. People put off by its return to fantasy and the "kiddy" look grew up and realized it was one of the most maturely told stories in the series.
Zidane creeping on Garnet notwithstanding.

Oh that's exciting. I guess a release would probably come shortly after the announcement then.
Guess it makes sense though, feels like we've heard rumblings about it for quite a while.
I could still see them doing this. If FF7 rebirth is Q1 I'm sure they'll have no problem releasing this Q3. Remember the 30 games they released in quick succession within the last year?
FInally, The Spirits Within 2 is in our grasp
The duality of man.
Square has dozens of games in production since moving into Unreal environment
Excellent. I'm looking forward to them all releasing right next to each other in quick succession.
Yeah their information was clearly misremembered but I knew what they were talking about.
Yeah, at this point this really looks like it's happening, and since FFIX is still one of my top three favorite video games of all time, I'm fairly excited.
I just want I'm A Hero Too or someone else who has seen this game to confirm if they're sticking with the same character designs as the original. I don't want them messed with too much: a light reworking at most. I definitely don't want them looking like the Dissidia version of Zidane.
All I've ever wanted from FFIXR is a version of the game that looks just like the FMV cutscenes front to back and makes pacing adjustments to combat, and I hope that's what we'll get.

Does it look done and ready to release, or does it look at least 2 years away?
Since Kitase mentioned a big thing (in reference to the series and not related to FF VII Remake) happening this year, I assume it'll be announced in the near future.
Maybe if Sony does another Showcase, dunno.
Because a Trials of Mana-like budget won't do that shit justice, you'd end up with cheap-looking copy-pasted assets all around.

How will the original backgrounds stack up to the new game I wonder?

IX is more popular than VIII nowadays and has been for more than a decade.
Back during the PS3 days when Sony was publishing sales rankings for its PSN titles on the Playstation Blog, IX outsold VIII pretty much every month for at least three years.
I'm under the impression that IX is being done by the Dissidia team. If it looks like that, that's more than enough.
I'm expecting 7.0 to be Q2. 6.5 should be in September or so, that gives them a lot of time to launch the expansion by end of Q2 for sure.
