The cult classic JRPG was added to PS Plus (and the PlayStation Store) this week, marking its digital debut in Europe.


However, fans have reported a string of bugs, and some have claimed the game is unplayable.

One of the most persistent bugs is a soft lock during battles once dragoon magic has been used, leaving players with either an unresponsive or black screen.

Other bugs, as detailed in this reddit thread, include: garbled text, jittering blue lines around background objects, voice lines not playing in battle, and issues with the rewind feature breaking the game.

This port includes a new rewind feature, as well as trophy support.

YouTuber BltzZ has also released a video detailing issues with the game and describing it as an unplayable mess, including the aforementioned dragoon magic soft lock, and clipped voice lines during combat. BltzZ recommends playing the game carefully using save states.

None of those sound like game-breaking bugs, and from what's been said the rewind makes the game almost too easy for some.

These are more like annoying graphical glitches you'd get with some emulated games, but otherwise it sounds perfectly playable. Sony should patch it though to fix the quirks.

I had that game back in the days, it was an horrible mess of QTEs.

It's actually good that people can't play it, Sony is pro-consumer.

Where it’s at.

Yeah, it was a cargo-cult clone of FFVII, with added button press bullshit like Super Mario RPG. I played the demo and never cared to even finish it.

I’ve never understood the fanboys for that one.

I'm one of the suckers who bought it.

Also, the voice acting... I recall laughing when I heard the big bad guy's voice in the intro.
