Final Fantasy 9 releases with three year old bugs, what will it take to stop bad remasters?

From VG247: "Why can’t Square Enix get its HD re-releases right?

Last week, Final Fantasy fans of impeccable taste were ecstatic: at last Final Fantasy 9, the best one, was released for Switch and Xbox One. Then came an all-too-familiar realisation for fans of classic Square Enix titles: the caveats."

Nit-picking at its finest. A music issue I hadn't even noticed, a change in font, a fast forward option you have to open a menu to use instead of it being mapped to a button. Get over it. I'm enjoying the game today as much as I did 19 years ago.

Skyrim has underwent several patches and still has bugs everywhere even on the Switch, and nobody wants to talk about it

[Kosic]

Is that the only bugs? I've put this on hold for purchase because the rumoured bugs. Didn't know it was minor things (I should've actually googled it).

[Cikatriz_ESP]

Congratulations. By the logic of the internet, your experience completely invalidates theirs.

Uhmmm you could stop buying Remasters. Hopefully the PS5 stops this shit by making PS4 games compatible. Rockstar releases a game close to the end of a generation so they can just resell it on the next console so I'm curious about Red Dead 2. I honestly won't be surprised if they lock the specs to PS4 capacity if the PS4 version was bought and being played on PS5, they'll offer some "enhanced" bullshit version using power of new gen

[Movefasta1993]

most playstation gamers on n4g don't like read dead 2 anyways so that won't be a problem.

[Traecy]

Yep I'm one of them.

[thejigisup]

Wat?

[King_Noctis]

And we all know why.

[yomfweeee]

I'm a PS gamer and I didn't like RDR2 that much. But I don't get the correlation you're getting at?

[psuedo]

I doubt they would do that, because isn't that essentially what they do by releasing it near the end of the gen to re-release it on next gen?

The reason this isn't fixed with FFIX despite what you're saying is that people "aren't" vocal about it. Some may notice and say it. But it's not vocal as FFIX is my favourite FF and I like to say I keep track of it on a general scale. Like I know most things about it and news surrounding it. BUT I have never even heard of this issue. I just know the battle music use to always chip and pause for a maybe a tenth of a second during loading (PS1 ver.) for me which was a fix. But if you want it changed, express it. Don't act like it's being ignored. Maybe it's never gotten to the devs.

I never understood how people can say this is the best. To me, the worst 3 are: ff3, ff1, ff9

[MaxiPower90]

your opinion doesnt even matter. your usename is based on a shitty console. Who cares what you think.

[TheFirstClassic]

Chill brah

[SegaSaturn669]

Check out dragonforce 2 ;)

[KwietStorm_BLM]

Grow up

[RizBiz]

Hey now, the Saturn did get one third of Shining Force 3. So it's at least 1/3 a good console.

[Last_Boss]

It actually had a GOOD Castlevania and Guardian Heroes. It's all good.

[pietro1212]

FFIX is up thete with the best of the franchise (Along with VI)

[FalconofLucis98]

is that all you say?

[harmny]

go play fortnite

[Traecy]

I won't say it's the worst in all the FF games imo Lightning Returns & FF Mystic Quest is a bad FF game but imo FF 9 is one of my least favorites of the 3 FF games released on the first PlayStation.

[RizBiz]

Your comment is kind of silly. Saying FFIX is "one of your least favourites" out of three could mean it's the third worst, which would mean it's actually the one you like the best.

[Traecy]

@Rizbiz No it doesn't & how you came up with that silly notion is beyond me. Imo FF9 is not a bad game but it's my least favorite FF game,out of all the SP numbered FF games FF 9 is last on my list.

[FalconofLucis98]

I think FF9 is very overrated

[Traecy]

Agreed.

[harmny]

you wont stop it i know that

[RizBiz]

What will it take? How about not buying it? I won't until they fix it. It's pretty simple.
