PS1 A thread all about Final Fantasy IX!

[Mopeybloke]

I played the actual PS1 version, which is not the best one to play nowadays, as the PC release and modern system’s release has many quality of life features that do away with the slowness that IX has in its original form (it can sometimes be rather slow).

I have to disagree here. The combat windows updating at 60 FPS, and being made for gamepad instead of touchscreen, as well as the entire interface being suitably low res like the rest of the game make the PSX release the best one to play. With the comprehensive ATB improvement hack [which will hopefully be added to repo], it's the way to play.

I have to play that hack sometime.
FFIX is such a great game, but I think its imperfections have only added to the game over time. People want to “fix” FFIX, which has created a fandom that is very dedicated.
