Still very new to my deck. FFT has always been one, if not my favorite game in the FF universe. I did not see it listed on Steam. Wondering if there is a way to play it, or if I need to break out my PS3 to get my fix.
Yea, and it performs well.
I highly recommend playing the PSP version using the PPSSPP emulator and configuring this texture pack: forums.ppsspp.org/showthread.php?tid=29776
Emulation
RetroArch can be installed directly from Steam store like any other game. It has even Cloud save for save files of games. I use the Beetle PSX core on it, which needs to be installed from within the application itself. Each core can emulator other systems. Now for some people RetroArch is complicated. So its up to you if you want to go that route.
As an alternative, there are emulators or suits of emulators that help with setting everything up. In example RetroDeck or EmuDeck. They need to be installed outside the Steam store, either as a script or as Flatpak I think. I don’t use any of them, so cannot help further there.
From a lover of this game, (must have beat it 10 times), I actually think the android port it the best.
It’s got enhanced sprites and animations. Even better than the psp port. It pressrves the PS1 audio which the psp version messed up. The touch controls are decent.
You should look into Romhacks of the original console games (especially PS1). There are some very interesting mods available: FFT (PSX) and FFTA (GBA) and FFT (PSP)
Now this involves patching original Roms with the Romhack mod files. I do most with Romhack Patcher JS directly in the browser (nothing is uploaded, its total offline and local application in browser).
Is the android version available on Steam Deck?
It’s not, I just assume everyone already has an android device. It’s let’s you play from anywhere on your phone too, instead of having to lug the deck.
I’m paying it right now
no this is lemmy
Emulation station app with psx emulators
Or GBA emulators for FFT:A.
That person tactics! This game was my gateway to the amazing world of SRPGs (灬º‿º灬)♡
Emulate it
