You can also edit the amount of jumps Vivi does per button press in the jump rope minigame in the .ini file. Whether you consider that cheating depends on how much value you place on your sanity.
Dude. Beatrix is one of my fav side characters in the whole franchise. I had no idea there was a mod to make her permanent.....my life just changed, guys.
Shittiest part about all that is the fact its not even technically a mod... it just added the data files that were already in the game that was removed that made her an unplayable character
@@bronysaiyan5236 i tihnk she was supposed to join you. because you can get the Save the Queen blade but you cant equip it to ANY part member. I was disappointed when I went through all that trouble to get it only to find out steiner couldnt use it. Only beatrix.
Truth, Beatrix should have been in the party... Would have been great if we had her come with us to the Outer Continent... Something to get her to see Dagger in a different light and learn more about her etc...
@@brandonmccann15 If you want to experience the original as intended by the developers, than not, if you just want to have a nice experience, sure, you will like the ability to recruit beatrix.
I recently finished a run of VV's randomizer and it was so much fun! Imagine boss rushes with two out of three bosses having access to the Chestnut ability, which deals damage based on the damage they had taken... or Trance Kuja getting replaced by regular Kuja. Like buddy, what did you trance for 😂
@@zersky495 The team that developed the original FF9 was a different developer team than the one who developed the original FF7 and FF8. The team that developed the OG FF7 and 8 are the ones developing FF7 Remake, that's why there's rumours about FF9 Remake coming before 8 Remake cause it's a different team developing it.
Honestly, for the IX remake, I would be happy if they updated the graphics and gave it a lot of quality-of-life features to make it more of a modern game. As much as I love the original IX, there were very glaring flaws (namely, the slow battle speed and loading times for battles).
One mod worth an honorable mention is the PSX UI mod, which is/can be made compatible with the Moguri mod. Although the devs did shrink the size of the vanilla UI in battles after an update patch, the fact remains that it's still hideous and looks like it was made for a touch screen, which is what the PSX UI mod fixes. Although you'll want to change the UI scaling back to 1.0 from the default 0.7 as the scaling also changes the size of non-UI elements. The mod is also highly customizable, allowing you to do things like adjusting the positioning while in battle or change how many columns the skill windows have in battle. Overall, it's a great addition to help get that nostalgic feeling.
What really saddens me about the newer ff9 ports was the broken visual effects, specially flare. The reason i fell in love with the original is because of how beautiful it was. I wish there were mods that could fix that.
Just wanna add "Trance Seek" to the list ! The mod is still in development but he is playable and look very promising. CD3 is almost finished. Each playable character has a passiv who complement their identity in the game, new fights are introduced (like the guardianS in CD3) new equipment, abilities, Beatrix is a permanent party member from a point in the CD3 and many others things ! You should give it a look !
The mod that powers up Freya removes her best move that allows her to deal maximum damage? Um, Dragon Crest can always result in 9999 damage if the party has killed 100 dragons. Freya didn't need to be rebalanced. She was already a power house character.
This. Infact, I'd go so far as to say that she was one of the player's ending members if they cared for serious DPS along with Quina and Zidane as they have skills that do set damage. With Garnet for a more offensive white mage or Eiko for a more defensive white mage, there really was no reason to use the other members.
@@cheffdonty that’s fair, though you will get around half of those kills just playing through the story if you aren’t skipping as many fights as you can. There are many minor creatures that count as dragons even as early as just outside the first Chocobo forest that are easy to take down. Quina can make quick work of grand dragons with his blue magic as well late game which is a great way to grind for xp while you do it. But a mod that scales dragon crest with stats instead of kills would be the only change necessary instead of a complete overhaul.
Every time I play FF9, Freya is always on my team (except for the bits that I'm forced to use other characters). She is even one of the characters I have right at the end fight. I've never used Mods on my games (would not know how to with original console systems anyway XD). Oddly I think my team is almost always at a disadvantage by the time I get to the end of the game since I tend to have both Garnet and Eiko on the team as well.
Freya is never on my team. Her abilities are clunky and jump just doesn't do anything for me. Yeah she has 9,999 but if a character is appealing just for 9,999 that ain't great. Sarah gets to stay because she has access to Ark.
@@thorinhannahs4614 I mean you could say that about almost half the cast Steiner... Vivi... They have no utility besides damage hell Vivi even ends up gimped in the damage department it never ends up as high as hers and costs way more per cast than 16 mp thats if his magic is even successful ... At least Freya can max damage and do things like cast Regen on your party, cover/ counter and jump to avoid danger... She has a lot more going on than "just max damage"
Could've mentioned memoria as well, since it comes bundled with Moguri and adds so much qol features to the game, including the option to play the game in actual 60fps.
If I had the powers to mod this game. I would add story sections to flesh out Freya, Quina and Amarant a lot more. Woefully underdeveloped characters. Especially Freya, I would at least want her to have a sense of closure.
Very soon there will be another one that looks incredible, made by the content creator RikkuandYuna. Not sure if it will be available in english. New weapons, new abilites, new bosses, beatrix available, and lots of new things.
Any time i think of FF9, i remember the time me and a friend were playing the game alongside each other. He fought the Iifa Tree boss and it took him half an hour to beat it. I go in and beat it in like two turns using Life and Phoenix Downs XD. He was so angry and asked why i never told him about that, i said he never asked me.
I have a huge soft spot for the Final Fantasy modding community. Im currently playin 7 modded to hell with full voice overs and the works. Been such a fun experience since the last time I played OG 7 was when I was a kid on ps1
Started a playthrough on OG FF7 modded as well, I'm just not sold on the VA for Cloud. I know it's a community project and not professional VA's, I do think they did a great job overall.
I think a lot of these mods WITH Echo-S 9 (a FULLY voice acted mod) will REALLY make modded 9 feel like a true remaster/remake. Hoping always for an official remake. But I love the Echo team. I love the mods we make. I love the mods this community has made. Thank you for covering them.
I remember breaking FF9 by beating the Chocabo mini game. Suddenly, I was in like the last few chapters of the game at a low level with early game equipment. This might be useful for speed runners.
FFIX is my 2nd favourite FF, I absolutely love this game. Having Beatrix recruitable was one of the things I always wanted cause she's my favourite FF9 character, her story, her theme Roses of May, her redemption arc, she's written perfectly...I even named my daughter after her.
Moguri mod really sells the lasting visual identity of FF9. I am always walking around thinking damn this looks so cool. Really only trance and steal rates need to be touched up. Any steal pre-thief gloves as after thief gloves stealing is much more reasonable. Trance could outright be removed and I wouldn't notice.
Freya was already the best character in the game to the point soloing the game with her was easier than running a full party due to the 4x EXP she would get, and thats without grinding Dragon Crest. Dragon Breath could also do guaranteed 9999 damage to all targets without grinding yet they removed that. Jump is also essential in speedrunning the game. The Dragon Knight Rising mod honestly sounds like it makes her weaker. Which I guess is fine if that was the intention, to make her more balanced, but I don't know why the video frames it as improving her. She was already incredibly dominant. If the story wasn't going to give her fair dues, its only fair she's unstoppable in battle!
@@kamron_thurmondyou can just straight up buy them too, although finding the black market that sells them might be harder than just doing it yourself. I do agree that its a bit of a hassle, but the people who do it consider it more of a hobby.
@@brijor6ff7 if you install the memoria mod, they have a catalog that lets you download at least the more popular mods. It's all self-contained now, like the 7th heaven mod for FF7.
I definitely don't agree the graphics don't hold up, I played it just literally yesterday and it's the best looking Final Fantasy game on the PS1 and still holds up a lot to this day.
Will definitely use one of these on my next playthrough. Is it possible to use two mods at once? I would like to use the Moguri Mod while also using one of the others like Alternate Fantasy.
Something like the Moguri mod should be part of the baseline of HD versions of games. We keep getting sold the same games on console with very little effort.
FF9 alternate fantasy and FF7 new threat is the reason i bought PC lol. Playing as beatrix and revive aerith properly are my reason to breathe XD. Played FF7 survivor but aerith's revive seemed useless as I can't bring her to northern cave. Playing as Beatrix is so satisfying!
if its SE, don't support it.... the Developers hid the source code for reasons. hid not hard to reverse enginier. and bro's/dudeetts Freya is the best hitter in the game next to Quinna, 9999 dragon crests for dragons she slays. shes always been on of my go to over the white mages in spots
What I always find sad is that Zidane's sister never gets expanded on, hell they even forgot to put her into the anniversary cover picture for the soundtrack re-release.
Is there any mod that speeds up battles by removing that wind-up for... EVERYTHING. I tried replaying it somewhat recently and that was unbearable. I get it probably was a technical limitations at the time, but gosh it made things slow!
"The next-gen would make this easier via cheating, here's a mod that removes the entire point of the challenge." Meer mortals have no business wielding such a divine weapon that rewarded copious & monumental effort.
I've been pulling my hair out recently trying to get the Moguri mod to work with reshade on my steam deck. I need scan lines, because otherwise the Moguri mod in my opinion looks very bizarre and smeared without it. I'd rather play the original on duck station with down sampling and scan lines than the Moguri. However it means I miss out on other stuff Sigh!
What I don't understand regarding the Ultimate Weapons: Shadow and Holy are the two most used for absorption, but Water and Fire are never absorbed. Kinda sus tbh....
Here's the mod I would like: leave the 12 hour requirement for Excalibur II, but once acquired, you can start a new game with Excalibur II in your inventory.
As a man who loves Freya and her abilities, I concour she has some...arguably useless abilities, some of them definitely needed some more attention than others. Six Dragons having a 50/50 shot to ruin your party being the biggest annoyance of her kit. But eh, two-three abilities being subpar compared to the rest of the cast isn't a major downside to her. What is, is the fact she and Steiner are about 10+ levels below the party by mid-game due to the party splitting BS mid-disk 2
Built-in speedrunning requirements like for Excalibur II always confused me in games like this, where the story was such a focal point. Nobody playing the game naturally would ever have an opportunity to obtain this weapon because literally just exploring and actually readin gall of the text takes more time than is required to get the weapon. Bizarre.
Speed run? No slow run as if I remember correctly from my PS1 days the in game clock ticks back to 0 after enough time so can be achieved in the 12 hours for those with patience.
I used Moguri in my latest playthrough, playing it for the SO. It made the game even better - *and the steal chance increase I activated halfway through made it a lot less annoying to steal shit from bosses.*
No statement has ever deserved to be *bolded* more. Extremely important information! :D
Playing through with Moguri currently, just got to Oeilvert and it has revitalized the game so much for me, not that I ever didn't love it.
You can also edit the amount of jumps Vivi does per button press in the jump rope minigame in the .ini file.
Whether you consider that cheating depends on how much value you place on your sanity.
Dude. Beatrix is one of my fav side characters in the whole franchise. I had no idea there was a mod to make her permanent.....my life just changed, guys.

Truth, Beatrix should have been in the party... Would have been great if we had her come with us to the Outer Continent... Something to get her to see Dagger in a different light and learn more about her etc...
I love these kids of videos esp for the older games. As a retro FF player it’s a real delight.
That final shot from the Alternate Fantasy mod section nearly gave me a heart attack. Fighting all four Chaos Guardians at once? Yikes.
it's a feature you unlock after defeating Hades: he gives you the chance to fight special battles. One of them is a rematch against all 3 Waltzes.
That looks sick! Imagine 4 Ozma at ones lol
Would it be OK to play alternate fantasy if it's your first time playing final fantasy 9

I was surprised that no modded spells were featured here maybe because its a hack code that changes every spell on the game
Best ever FF. My first and my last till world end.

Bonus bosses, bragging rights? Although if you did it by adding a mod the bragging rights involved are pretty minimal.

More mod videos!❤
As a man who loves Freya and her abilities, I concour she has some...arguably useless abilities, some of them definitely needed some more attention than others. Six Dragons having a 50/50 shot to ruin your party being the biggest annoyance of her kit. But eh, two-three abilities being subpar compared to the rest of the cast isn't a major downside to her. What is, is the fact she and Steiner are about 10+ levels below the party by mid-game due to the party splitting BS mid-disk 2
Maechen would be proud
Built-in speedrunning requirements like for Excalibur II always confused me in games like this, where the story was such a focal point. Nobody playing the game naturally would ever have an opportunity to obtain this weapon because literally just exploring and actually readin gall of the text takes more time than is required to get the weapon. Bizarre.
Good list.
I need a FF IX remake
Speed run? No slow run as if I remember correctly from my PS1 days the in game clock ticks back to 0 after enough time so can be achieved in the 12 hours for those with patience.
do any of them make the game actually good?
it is FF9 but why are almost all videos about other FF games
Moguri is great and works on steam deck too😊
Lol "Developers try their best" No...they really don't, they used to though.
Now we need a tutorial to install these.
