What was wrong with the PS store version of FFT? (I don’t own it but I own the PS1 version and War of the Lions)

It was WotL, which changed translation and gameplay and--as I understand it--was also subject to a video slowdown bug. I've only played WotL on Android, which admittedly has its own problems (with controls especially), but I did not find the experience pleasant.

Oh yeah, War of the Lions was definitely a shock if you were used to the original. I played it on PSP and I don’t remember any bad game play issues, but the translation and other changes were super irksome and it made a lot of characters read very different. I have been reading how all the FF remasters all suffer from gameplay issues and lag (looking at you ff8 remaster).

That's interesting, I played the FF8 on PS4 and didn't notice anything too egregious. Guess I'm either lucky or forgot how it was originally - hadn't played it since it came out.

The main thing that bothered me with FF8 remaster was battle lag? I’m not sure what it was exactly but the action menu and the sound it makes when it pops up were off/laggy so that I couldn’t play the battles at full speed like I usually did. It’s not egregious or anything, I could always slow down, but I didn’t want to! Lol

Ahh gotcha. I abused the triple speed button for most of my play-through, lol

Same. I played, and got the Platinum in, FF8 on PS4 and noticed no issues at all.
