8 directions frustration palm

[roadrunnertwice]

I’m replaying FFIX because they just released the remaster for PS4, and I forgot how annoying the directional orientation is in the PS1 FF games! They tried to make these pretty and curved landscapes convenient for 8-way d-pads by skewing the input, sometimes by as much as like 20 or 30°. (Or at least it feels that extreme.) So you just point in whatever direction seems natural, and then your character blasts off for fucking Mars.

What a weird time in video game interfaces, now that I think back on it. Remember that Resident Evil truck-walk bullshit?
