Finally, outside of the normal achievements for Steam, Final Fantasy IX comes with a number of boosters that are applied during the pause screen and in the configuration menu. It’s hard to imagine anyone using every single one of these slots, especially with Cloud saves being integrated, but the option is there nonetheless. Outside of the auto-save feature, there are roughly 150 save slots available, emulating essentially ten different memory cards. It ensures that players won’t be losing hours of gameplay due to power outages, unforeseen game overs, crashes – which we never ran into any, or any other unfortunate setbacks.
It may not be the same as save states where you can load at any spot in the entire game, but it certainly helps in tight situations. This is especially convenient if you need to leave your computer and can’t find a save point anywhere, something that isn’t uncommon with these lengthy, older RPGs. Anytime you enter a room or area, the game will save, allowing you to restart a portion of a location with ease. The original game simply had new game and load functionality on the main menu, but what has been implemented in the PC port is essentially an auto-save system.
One of the most useful new additions is the “Continue” feature. Instead, we’re focusing on the quality of the port and the various new inclusions that have been integrated into the release. We could go on talking about how much Final Fantasy IX is one of the best games in the series due to its focus on traditional Final Fantasy values, but most of us already know that.
Nostalgia is running deep with the PC port of Final Fantasy IX as Square Enix seems to have done the sixteen year old game justice. Final Fantasy IX comes with a bevy of unanticipated additions, along with enhanced graphical fidelity in certain aspects. This is no slapped together port, either, as the Japanese publisher has learned greatly ever since they brought Final Fantasy XIII to Steam. Well no longer as Square Enix surprised fans that they’re not only porting the old school RPG to PC, but they pulled a Sega and announced it was available right now. We did see a peculiar mobile port earlier in 2016, but for close to sixteen years now, the only true way to play Final Fantasy IX was on a PlayStation. Final Fantasy IX is one of the very few Final Fantasy games that has remained untouched from its initial exclusive release on the original PlayStation.
