So... Anyone waiting?


Code: [Select]
Code: 
        OS: Windows Vista or later        CPU: 2.4GHz quad-core CPU        Memory: 2 GB RAM        GPU: NVIDIA Geforce GTX 450 / AMD Radeon HD 5750 with 512MB        HDD: 40 GB
What do you think? Is it again Unity port and we will be able to snatch whole source code?
Is it UnrealEngine based? Is it rewritten to PC?
Any FFX fans out there? Personally I have retail version for PS3 and I really like the HD remaster. :3 Recently made 100% trophies.
Is someone here who is going to mod the PC release?

EDIT: FFIX unity port was prepared by Silicon Studio with probably Square Enix source support. It's hard to find any info, but is is possible the same studio prepared FFX-X2-HD-PC2016?

The PS4 version introduced some new bugs, namely an awful broken RNG and completely missing resume support for music. Both bugs were fixed in a patch later on, but I would not at all be surprised to see them (or other bugs) creep back in.

I have become quite wary of Square Enix's PC ports. Some of them turn out good, but I refuse to get excited for them until I see for certain they have not messed things up.
 
I'm definitely interested.  Getting them High Quality models swapped might be a nice experience to.
 
Meh.. after having completed the game on PS2 multiple times, once on the ps2 emulator and twice on the Ps3... I think I'll pass on this one since it won't bring anything new  :(

Well... assuming it's based on the PS4 version, it will have some newer, better textures than the PS3 version. Not enough to merit another playthrough, but not nothing either.

ditto
 
It's live. Probably not gonna buy it, I already have them on the PS3 port and I doubt I'd gain anything playing them on PC (especially since their PC ports are subpar).
 
Available NOW. They say Japanese audio with English subtitles isn't possible because of technical issues. Yeah, right. Again modders need to fix their games. Writing something like this make me think that they just recompiled the game for PC and it's indeed phyreEngine. Someone who bought it. How does the files look like? I know there's again some launcher (SquareEnix loves launchers)

This smells to me like licensing problems. The Japanese voice acting industry is yakuza-controlled, and they tend to ruin dual audio for everyone unless it's licensed for such in the first place. That's why it's so much easier to get it for modern games than for modern ports of old games.

Pretty much this, it's also why the Kingdom Hearts games and even Crisis Core aren't available digitally, some KH music was only licensed for physical distribution and Gackt's likeness can't be used anymore preventing digital sales of CC.
 
Still too early to get the info how does the files look like (to prove it's phyre indeed or not). Does anyone have info about file structure?
 
Downloading the game will take a few hours, will post here when it finishes. Kinda stupid that you can speed up normal gameplay but not cutscenes or blitzball...

Not that I know anything about this, but I decided to take a few pictures in hope you're able to identify it.

Really all I'm hoping for is the ability to swap models back to their PS2 original, maybe modify a few textures, and restore the font back to the way it was.
 
The new models were reworked, they have more polygons compared to the ps2 ones, the only problem are the face textures they look so lifeless
 
Thanks!
Not good. It's clearly some custom engine/modified phyre. MSVCR files says it's for sure Visual C++.
One giant binary file is also very bad. If all the addresses are hardcoded in exe, then modifying anything could be fatal.
However, the magic files look interesting.
Eww... Square...

EDIT: Okay. I'm going to inspect the files soon. It's 30GB, so tomorrow.

EDIT2: Yes, it's phyre. The same file structure as PS3: http://forum.xentax.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=11107

EDIT3: The PS3/PS4 release used PSARC file. PC uses some "VBF" files. Are they the same?

EDIT4: FinalFantasyModding community on Steam already released JAP voiceover mod
