tdrock Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Final Fantasy IX PC: Special Edition After blunders in the PC ports of Final Fantasy VII and VIII, Squaresoft tries again by releasing a special edition PC version of Final Fantasy IX. I didn't think Squaresoft would bother trying again, but they did. After keeping completely quiet about a PC release of Final Fantasy IX for quite some time, even after releasing their Playstation 2 hit Final Fantasy X,XII, Squaresoft recently released new screenshots and disc packaging images of a "special edition" PC port. While I am not exactly sure what aspects of the game entitle it a special edition, Final Fantasy IX PC comes with 4 CG-character decorated discs and the screenshots emulate the graphic features of previous PC releases: sharp, smooth 3D polygons over pixeled backgrounds and text. FMV movies are incredibly sharp and appear in a letterbox format, somewhat similar to the impressive video sequences from Final Fantasy VIII. However, Squaresoft says this particular PC release is far superior from its past counterparts, featuring better support for video cards and has enhanced digitally tracked music, leaving the previously used and unimpressive midi soundtrack behind. Hear are some screenshoots Although no solid release date has been announced regarding Final Fantasy IX PC, with Final Fantasy XIII deep in development and talk of Final Fantasy XIII, Squaresoft is expected to release the game during the summer.

Kushan Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Woah, talk about unexpected o_0 I never really liked FF9, but this means there's a good chance 10 will come next and I'm ok with that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain_Wang Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 This April fools joke fails because it's quite plausible and someone doesn't need to be gullible to believe it. And yes I'm just bitter because I wanted a PC release of this :(. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doli Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Game screenshots should have gave it away as fake. Look at the blockish text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doli Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 You haven't played FF8 on the PC, have you? >_> I would think they would make the text better looking if they did bring the game out for the PC and not do bad port route with the other FF games in the past.

elONEam Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 This sucks. FF9 was the first FF I ever played and remains my favourite, although I'm probably the only one who thinks so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadlydread Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 besides FF9 for the PC wouldnt be on 4 cds. most of the content would fit on 2 cds if not all, due to compression. that and those discs were obliviously fake. I could tell right away it was an April Fools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
