That's what I tested vibrations on and my controller was not vibrating aha
Do not forget to get
Bahamut and kill Ultima on the forgotten isle, Ultima has Eden too.
Also do not forget to get Doomtrain, King Tonberry at the same place as Odin.

Only GF spoilers
I believe Brothers GF is optional, despite their dungeon being part of the storyline? Might be worth double checking
Optional GFs that you DON'T obtain through drawing:
Doomtrain
Tonberry
Bahamut
Cactuar
Eden (Technically you still draw it)

I think
you can get Eden in Ultimecia's castle but that is already endgame.
To get Gilgamesh you need Odin, because Seifer kills Odin at the Lunatic Pandora.
About Doomtrain I am not 100% sure if he is missable. You need ingredients for him.
You can get probably King Tonberry at the Tower too.
Sorry if I am being vague about missables, been a while I have played it.

It is, but there is also the regular title screen from the original game that pops up after going through the remaster title screen
Ah okay. Does that title screen look in anyway touched up?

Thanks, expected but nothing interesting really.

Don't Panic!Man, pre-ordering digitally is the worst. Game sitting there on my xmb, all installed and ready the play..... mocking me with the timer slowly counting down...
I'm all installed and ready to play tomorrow morning. This is my favourite of the PS1 Final Fantasies.
Man Square is a disgrace.
First my siren golden pubes now my renzokuken vibs.
This game has cars???? This is not a real Final Fantasy game!!!!!

Is there a way so enemies aren't constantly attacking? Like, the clearest example I can give is like WoFF where you're waiting to attack and so are the enemies. So far I seem to be waiting to attack and these plant creatures are hitting me three times while I wait. It's annoying in x3 mode.

OK, I had a quick look at some Twitch streamers playing this on PS4 and it looks to me like analogue movement is not available. The character was quite obviously moving in 8 directions only on the World Map. So, to any AUS/NZ peeps or anyone else who might already be playing, could you confirm?
Being able to move smoothly, I feel, is incredibly important for me in this title and I think I'll pass if it really is just 8 direction movement. Edit: Looks like that GameXplain video confirms my fears, goddamnit! Just leaves me wondering why is it so hard to implement the original analogue movement in these remasters of VIII and IX.
Lastly, what's this talk I see about no vibration? Not even during GF summon animations?

Yeah set the Active Time Battle system to Wait in the options menu.
It was on wait :/
Yes, it's only 8 directions.
But you can still go get him from where he always is, as it says in the post I was quoting. I was responding to the part of the post saying you can permanently miss out on GFs.
There are like 5 different kinds of collectible magazines that you need to collect to unlock weapon upgrades, character skills, side quests and lore. There are too many to list, but they are all technically missable.
Does anyone know when the Switch store will update? Is it a blanket thing across all regions or is it like the PS4 where it is midnight in the respective countries?
But like, with x3 on and I'm trying to select things as quick as I can, they're attacking me. I want to be able to take my time with choosing an action without being attacked, y'know?
Edit: hmmm okay they don't seem to attack me when I'm in the draw menu but they do when I'm on the base menu? That's how the game will work?
Yes if you have the ATB set to Wait then when it's your turn you won't be attacked while selecting.
I believe FFVIIIs "Wait" Mode only Functions while you are in a Sub Menu. You have to be in the Magic Selection Menu or in the Item Menu. If you are just on the Main Selection Menu I think it plays through, but its been years so I'm not sure.
I wish they weren't attacking while I'm trying to make up my mind then :P (and it is set to wait). Thanks though.
This is what it sounds like yeah. A bit annoying when you're like me and new to the game so you're thinking about which move to do next. Basically have to go into a sub menu in order to get some thinking time. Ah well, time to pop another potion.
Yeah Jegged's pretty sweet, I've been using it for a while now. My only gripe is that it doesn't have more FF games on there lol.
Seeing VIII get a title screen like this makes me irrationally happy.LET'S GO
No vibration is infuriating. I can't stand not having it on the Vita and was looking forward to this.
That and 8 direction movement...
Guess I'll just hope my money goes towards justifying a remake but this remaster is a bummer.

Bummer, knew they would fuck it up. No vibration is also shitty.
Does the Steam release does not have achievements?
I think the boosters never broke the achievements, maybe I am wrong though.
How exactly will new players know when the discs start and stop?
This is honestly unacceptable.
If you use a broken version as the base of your remaster the least you can do is fucking fix it.

Hm then I guess the SE representative at PAX really didn't know. He said there was full analog controls but he didn't sound confident so that is probably why.
What they did is they brute force 8 directions to the analog stick.
In the pc version the sticks only worked one direction at a time.
So while it solves the issue of moving diagonally, it still looks completely unnatural and off compared to the original.
Also, big question, what is this scene going to look like :
And there are a few cities with baked in NPCs that are going to look absolutely abominable I fear.
From a gameplay perspective isn't it better to technically not get
odin
Gilgamesh

I think there is already a stream showing this exact scene. let me look for it.What they did is they brute force 8 directions to the analog stick.

Instant kill isn't a good thing since it can force unwanted experience. Gameplay wise it really isn't a huge difference.
Story wise is the most important reason to do it.
I can't believe the game doesn't have real analog support. That was one of the main reasons I was interested in it. I guess I don't need to but it now. I already have the old PC version from Steam. There are enough mods to make it sound and look better than the base game. Thanks for saving me $20, Square Enix.
I'm really excited to play this - it's my favourite FF along with FFV, I was so impatient to play it at the time I imported the US version because I couldn't stand waiting the... two months(?) for it to come out here in the UK. It's been a few years since my last replay though, so I think it's way past time.
