The group behind one of Final Fantasy 9’s well-known fan mods divulges another arrangement of graphical and sound upgrades to the game’s PC port.
Final Fantasy 9’s PC port keeps on accepting exceptionally positive surveys on Steam, developer Square Enix has prodded an arrival to Final Fantasy 9’s story in future games. In any case, until the developer is prepared to push ahead with these plans, fans are going to mods to improve their encounters.
In the wake of delivering a significant update in May that refreshed the game’s UI, the famous mod’s developers have delivered another major patch. According to the 8.2 update’s trailer and patch notes, this patch introduces a new launcher for the Moguri mod and makes it compatible with Final Fantasy 9 again after its latest Steam update. Outside of improving the sound quality, the modders also debugged audio issues with the game’s orchestral music loops and patched bugs in the endgame’s score. After improving the synchronization between audio and video, they also patched glitches where the game will cut too soon or crash during the airship segment. Most notably, the documentation polished off by taking note of a lot of bug fixes and connecting to a full rundown of 145 visual changes. In the time since this current mod’s introduction, 210 zone messages have been reproduced, and the game runs at 30 edges for each second. Fan reception to the Moguri mod trailer also reflects the positive sentiment surrounding the Moguri mod. In the comments, many responses praised the UI improvements and the developer’s quick response to Square Enix’s latest Steam update, which rendered the mod unusable. Albeit Final Fantasy 9’s Moguri mod doesn’t offer the photorealistic overhauls that different remasters offer, it still effectively updates the experience. Sadly, on the grounds that the game has just observed a few re-deliveries and ports, an authority remaster is far-fetched until further notification.
However, old and new fans looking to celebrate the game’s twentieth anniversary should be able to enjoy the new HD textures, world and battle maps. Final Fantasy 9 is available now on Mobile, PC, PS1, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
