Re: Final Fantasy IX - "This is an age-old ritual between friends!"
There's no "new" content, it's the same game. However, there are new options and you can use a few boosters:
• High speed mode (5x all movement speeds, both in and out of battle) (F1/RB on pause menu)
• No random encounters (F4/RT on pause menu)
• Skippable cutscenes
• Disable pre-battle camera fly-bys (found in Config menu)
• Auto-battle (J/RT during battle)
• Always full ATB/Trance/HP/MP (F2/LB on pause menu)
• 9999 damage on all attacks (F3/LT on pause menu)
• Master abilities, equipping an item automatically unlocks its abilities permanently (F5/in Config menu)
• Level and magic stone max (F6/in Config menu)
• Gil max (F7/in Config menu)
I don't use most of these since they completely break the game. High speed mode and no encounters are really nice though, even more so when you want to explore. Having the option to turn off pre-battle camera is also good to speed up random encounters.
So can someone provide a list of what the differences in gameplay and game design between PS1 and Steam. I already own the PS1 (Greatest Hits) version, which I still enjoy very much and replay often, and I am thinking of purchasing a PC steam version, but I don't want to buy a game I already own. Other than improved graphics and different controls system, is there anything new in the steam version has to offer. Any new content?
