What's the best way to play FF8 through X?>FF8: emulated, old Steam port, remastered>FF9: emulated, Steam port>FFX: emulated, remastered
it sucks don't play it.
Original hardware or emulator, never the remake or remaster.
>>729485261Emulate them all, but for FFX make sure you get the PAL International version or you'll miss out on some extra bosses
ff9. steam ver with memoria patcher for more fps and some qol. avoid moguri mod. its ai slop
>>729486075FFX PAL runs at reduced FPS like all old PAL games. You should play the Japanese International release since it has an English text option.
>>729487293>runs at reduced FPS like all old PAL gamesWhy was that?
>>729485261Retroarch with crt royale. Get the WindowCast core so you can continue using retroarch shaders on pcsx2. Like other anon said X international jp lets you choose jp/eng for voice and text.The remasters are dogshit.
>>729488410Different standards for analogue TVs. North America and Japan used NTSC TVs, which ran at 60 Hz, which meant games generally displayed at either 60 or 30 FPS. Europe and Australia used PAL TVs, which ran at 50 Hz, meaning games ran at either 50 or 25 FPS. And since a lot of old games tied game logic/physics to FPS and PAL ports were an afterthought, a lot of European/Australian versions of old games would straight up run slower than American and Japanese versions. PAL TVs did have a higher resolution than NTSC TVs, but many games also didn't optimize for that and some PAL games would have the resolution squished and stretched.
>>729485335>>729486075>>729486124>>729488469Are the remasters really that bad? Good built-in shaders already give emulators an edge but other than that how hard can it be to have a functional port of the game with no missing content?
>>729490880Check out some of the cutscene comparisons. The assets are all completely different and many look outright strange. Plus there are blatant glitches exclusive to the remaster which look weird as well
>>729490880For FFX, Square lost the original code and assets, and so they outsourced making new character models and other graphics to some Chinese studio. As a result, a lot of small stuff looks fucked up and inaccurate to the original, and characters have less expressive facial animations in cutscenes than they did on PS2.
>>729485261Spare yourself some misery and just replay 1 and 5 over and over again. The most replayable (and thus) best games in the franchise.
