Did you think that was an offical Square announcement?
Of course not, square would never do something this nice for ff9, the only care about ff7 ngh.
I’m awaiting screenshots and videos

No, the project is just impossibly ambitious. Team AVALANCHE couldn't even remaster the opening five minutes of FFVII and they had all hands on deck.

no, that's just poor motivation and lack of drive.
Anything is possible if you got the skill, motivation and drive. More importantly the assets, source code and a good team.
just because it's by fan(s) doesn't automatically mean/make it impossible.
Have faith.

Some new screens. Progress is slow, but certainly on the move.

If someone's actually remaking all of this, why not just make the game in 3D? The pre-rendered backgrounds were just because of the hardware limits of the time. You could easily have the same scenes and same camera angles with proper 3D scenes.

Random thought: Why is Steiner's armour rusty? It would seem very out of character for him to neglect its maintenance.

I don't think it really is. I think it's supposed to be that Zidane exaggerates that just because he knows it'll annoy someone who's as orderly as Steiner.

The Red mage he asks for directions in the Lindblum ATE notes the rust as well, though.

Yeah I assume it's meant to be that there's a bit of rust on it, but that Zidane just deliberately exaggerates it to annoy him. It looks fine in all the pictures

You're probably right. Steiner just seems like the kind of person that would obsessively maintain his gear at all costs.

Well, Final Fantasy IX is available for Switch today for anyone that's interested. Surprised that's coming before VII, but ah well.

Switch is a great platform for those PS1 games. If you play it in handheld mode, the low resolution of the backgrounds won't be as evident.
Everything else about FF9 has aged really well, especially given that they updated the character models!

Unfortunately, from what people are saying, the Switch version seems to still have bugs that were in previous ports (PC/PS4 and mobile) - music starts from the beginning after battles, rather than picking up where it left off, and there's a lack of true analog control (ie, you can use the analog stick, but you only move in eight directions). I was really looking forward to picking this up, but those issues are giving me pause. For the time being I think I may hold off on this one, especially since I still have my PS1 discs; hopefully it'll be fixed, though since S-E has let the bugs stand for a while now, I'm not particularly optimistic about them releasing a patch.

Fixing issues like that should've been trivially easy for them. Sad that they didn't bother.
