Thanks for showing this off. I had no idea modding was so far along for 9. I was under the impression that the vast majority of the modding progress was on 7. I'm especially shocked to see that you can play 9 at 60fps, after how hard it was for them to do the same thing on 7.
its been around for a while In fact just a couple of Months after ff7 modders did it. unfortunately People simply did not care at that time. there was a handful vides made about it by modders in the community .
OMG yeah, my grandma bought FFVII for me when it came out and i was instant in love. But FF IX also was my favorite, its so cute and unique! Thanks for the video man, great stuff.
@@imaginator85 I do, i have thought that very same thing about ff9, ayahuasca had that effect and i played it not long after, my memory wasn't erased but i was ....reorientated/renewed. Tbh i prefer the old format of ff7-ff9, i think square enix should have a seperate department to make ff games specifically in that format but with updated graphics/effects. It's all about the world map, turn based combat (altho the way the new ff7 did it was pretty cool), prerendered backgrounds, speech bubbles etc. The only things i would add would be wind effects, seasonal cycles, day and night cycles like ocarina of time and the locations on the map wouldn't be so small in comparison to the character when you approach them. Compared to the new ff games the old ones left far much more to the imagination, for me it was like peering into a world like it were a crystal ball/fairytale picture book whereas the new ones are graphic statements and leave nothing to the imagination and give you pointless busy work. The old ones were: 'Look at the cool story we can tell with what we can do with games now' The new ones are: 'Look how many frames ps we have, look at how big it is, look at the graphics'
This looks absolutely amazing! Much like yourself Final Fantasy IX is my favorite game and favorite Final Fantasy of all time. I play through the game at least once a year. I now need to get myself a windows computer just so I can truly appreciate the beauty of this game! Fantasic video!
I am so thankful this video showed up in my recommended! Been playing through all the Final Fantasy games in order (first time player of the franchise) and when I reached FF9 I just couldn't deal with how SLOW the combat is. I'll have to give this mod a try just for that, but the character outlines and graphical touches are super nice too! Has definitely encouraged me to pick the game back up.
I clicked because of the title so I will say that I agree. Although FF9 is my favorite, I'd much rather see a remake of FF6 or even FF8 first. Since FF9 has aged so well comparatively.... and, you know, because the amazing moguri mod exists
easily my fav FF, might be the only video game to make my eyes water. i played the Moguri mod several years ago and i was impressed then, but this update is so good i think i'll give FF9 another go
My friend, you just game me a reason to play one of my all time RPG's yet again. Thanks for showing this off! Wow and youtube got it's recommendations right for once leading me to your channel. haha
I understand well how you feel, although my favorite game of all time is FF7 my favorite Final Fantasy is undoubtedly 9 (a bit of a strange concept, but as a Final Fantasy, what is Final Fantasy for me, the ninth represents the master piece!). I'm 3D character Artist and I've even made a model of Vivi and maybe I'll make all the other characters...it makes you realize how much I love it! I have FF9 in all platforms, playstation, pc, nintendo etc. and I also have the moguri mod... but honestly I have never played it as it. I guess I have to replay it for the thousandth time. 😁
Oh my crystals! So I've played 7 with mods and wasn't aware 9 had such an awesome one. I NEED this. I struggle to pick a favorite FF. So I tend to categorized them I have 9 on the most beautiful story of the FF. Heartwarming at the end. Probably the ones that fill me with the most positivity and calmness. I have it on PS (various) and Switch... now I need to get it PC as well.... The manual Trance might be the only cheat I'd use. I really hated wasting it when it triggered at the end of a random mob. After 7. I'm not sure I want SE to remake anything. Heck even the Remaster they screw up with the voice changes on Crisis Core.
Uhhh the cutscenes are still 15fps. The movies in 30fps is a separate Moguri mod thing. You didn't download it. It was just below the moguri mod in mod manager.
It's been mentioned but you should definitely make sure to download the 30fps mod, don't forget to activate it once it's downloaded! There's probably 5-10 mods available in the list that are worth downloading even if you want mostly a vanilla experience, just make sure you pay attention to the load order and activatable options!
Thank you for agreeing the same way I did when FF IX first came out. When I finished it on the PlayStation, I thought to myself this is/was the best one they made. But as of now they are at what? 16? Yeah that was many moons ago. But today I'm going to pick up FF VII and IX for PlayStation as I want to own them for my nostalgic reasoning.
@mickaelpottier2304 Oh no! I would try completely uninstalling everything (even the folders where it was stored), uninstall from Steam too and then re-install everything from scrath!
When I did this mod a couple weeks ago I was BLOWN EFFIN AWAY!!! I can't wait until they finish Echo S9 Mod to truly finish the game with voices!!! So Grateful for the PC scene since Console could never do this!!!
@@imaginator85 yes sir. I'm trying to get in contact with the project developers to introduce my ost revisions if you know a way it would be much appreciated!
You know the ironic part? I feel like if square just paid these people to release this version of final fantasy ix people would probably be honest a lot more interested in a remake, because we would already have the perfect version of nine
When it was released, back in the day, when we were gamers, and had finished playing FFVIII, FFIX was considered to be the most 'weakest' FF around, given that they had broken through certain barriers with FFVII (science fiction and some psychological concepts, new in games) and FFVIII (romance, which was literally unheard of in games in those times, female protagonists were rare). Over time, FFIX built this following and people realized it was not all childish and fantastical as we thought then. Critically it was successful though, but I think it didn't sell very well.
Yes it was steady decline FF7 original run on PS1 was 10 million units, FF8 8 million and by the time FF9 came out it managed 6 million. FF9 had a WHOPPING $40 mil budget which at the time was the 2nd most expensive game ever made after FF7 - Despite the mammoth budget it still made a profit (albeit modest) and received unanimous critical scores. So at the time was anything but a failure.... and now all these years later its still selling well in the switch & PC. Because people just like a good story!
This mod is beautiful, loved it... but this is not the Remake that we need, I want all the new amazing models, updated combat, new graphics, expanded lore, and need it all, not just an visual update
@@evomichel9900 I know that the "turn-based-like" combat they made for the remake doesn't pleases anyone who likes turn-based RPG, but you cannot say it is a "screw-up... it was a success, look at how well both games sold... and personally I can't stop playing as Tifa, the combat is out of this world
I really suggest turning Alternate fantasy on. It raises difficulty a bit and game has some challenge. Because there are 2 main minuses of the game. Long battle intro/loading screen + low difficulty. It is easy to achieve 9999 damage and all of late game bosses die from 6 hits. Except Quale and friednly yan, they need 7 hits :D Shock/frog drop/dragon crest (thievery is not needed but you can use grand lethal).
@josuecordero1144 Haha. Yep. I realize the name is "zuh don" (or "jitan" in Japanese) but as this is a European name that this 8th grade American kid had never heard before in 1999, that's the pronunciation it was assigned and now it's stuck forever. 😆
@imaginator85 I think its more like "zuh-daan". But hey, its ok. Its just that I never heard that pronunciation before. I pronounce it "Zee-daan" 'cause spanish is my primary language. 😅.
Yeah, I played FFVII Remake, left unsatisfied, played FF VII modded with ECHO S7 (fully voiced), and feel no need to buy FF VII Rebirth. I’ll try to wait for ECHO S9 to play this fully voiced as well.

But it doesn’t look like a remake …. More like a remaster
I like the toon shader - it seems to help blend the models with the backgrounds a little better. Regardless, it's an amazing mod.

FF7 is my personal favourite, but taking out personal bias FF9 is the best FF game.
I'd say FF7 is the best, then FFX, then FF9. It's subjective they are all excellent. Moguri 9.0 is now the definitive way to play this though.
Why the confidence narrative though? This is cool, and Square's remake will be cool
Just got a PC. How do I get the game version that allows the mod? Where do I get the mod?
Nice! Just download the game on Steam! ?steam is the PC storefront for games. It's free to download.
I understand if u pronounce it Zidain or Zidan, but Zai dane??
Taking out the card game has completely put me off this mod.
da gibts noch 16:9 mod

It does though it's a work in progress still. I'll be doing a video on it too in the future as it gets closer to completion. I LOVE 8!!!
