My hope is, they will remove the launcher and SquareEnix account requirement. And make some further modifications to make the game Steam Deck verified.
Wow I just tested it. Game does not run anymore, and I get connection error. I have internet access, so probably the servers are shutdown. So the original game (what will be renamed to 2013 edition later) is unplayable. I just downloaded it and tested.
Gotta appreciate the irony of requiring a login to play a PS1 era single player game. It's more convenient to just emulate at this point.
When the 2013 version released I died during the bomb run in the intro because I tried to save the game and the cloud sync took so long the timer ran out.
Working well for me, cloud saves and all.
No connection issues here so maybe a coincidence you couldn't connect?
@iamthetot@piefed.ca Now it works for me too. Looks like a temporary issue. But it was an issue nonetheless, bound to some server.
Mine launched fine.
You need an account to play a ps1 game????
Why??
Iirc you do not need one to play it, only to use cloud saves. It has been a year or two since I did my play through so take that with a grain of salt though.
