I played the demo years ago, but I never played the full version. Maybe this time I will.

I want to see what the static theme is but I guess if I'm going to buy it regardless, no harm in preordering anyways...!

I am going to need to get this so I can play it before I play FFIX. Question is... PS4 (to play in high-res, but this IS a PSX game), Switch (the portability!), or Steam (because Steam)?

I've Platinum'd two games. You've Platinum'd over 9000. It's of no consideration to me, and I'm earnestly in agreement with redrocket that portability is of the greatest priority. Unless of course the Switch version has issues. I might wait for a sale given the staggering number of classic JRPGs in my backlog (currently in progress: Suikoden V).

I looked at the achievements for the old Steam version, and boy, 10,000 kills again.... it was bad in IX but it's going to be so much worse in this one if that becomes a trophy. I don't even remember there being packs of 4 enemies in this game like FF9 has?

Not a fan of a few other trophy possibilities there, seems like lots of missable opportunities, eh... guess we'll see how it shakes out.

looking at the Xbox achievements it says there's one for killing 1000 enemies

Actually a very easy platinum

Figured they would throw in a level 1 playthrough but they did not

yeah, beating the game at Squall's initial level was a Steam achievement. At a glance it looks like they dropped that, the 10,000 kills (phew) and Chocobo World-related stuff (good). They also dropped getting all of Rinoa and Quistis' limits.

I would've liked the initial level one, and a time-limited one too. The Timber Maniacs one is the one I'm most concerned about, pretty sure I've never gotten all of them in any of my many playthroughs.

Personally I would have thrown in a trophy for getting squalls ultimate weapon before the end of disk one

Yeah, those trophies don't look too difficult, although I'm pretty sure it's impossible to get all the Timber Maniacs magazines in one playthrough. I think there's a situation where collecting one causes another one to disappear.

Either that or they make an allowance just as long as you got one or the other.

The magazine you choose actually impacts the way the first Laguna dream sequence plays out.

You guys talk as if trophies are anything other than mindless time wasting filler. If trophies were actually well thought out, interesting challenges, I might care about them more.

One that I know of is Chocobo World has been completely removed and the items it gave are now accessible through in-game means.

Sweet. I delayed my replay of the FF games I have easily available hoping this would be out sooner rather than later. Didn't want to start FFIX and get halfway through and have this drop.
