The PAL version runs 16.7% slower than the US version which the PC version is based on. 16.7% doesn't sound like a lot but once you experience the difference between PAL and NTSC games you realise that PAL versions are terrible compared to NTSC versions. It makes a big difference which is why you think it runs 50% faster.
Good comparison here, notice how the music and gameplay are ruined in the PAL version. You can also really feel it in the controls:

The difference is a big surprise. The NTSC music sounds a bit weird at first (I must have completed Sonic about a billion times as a kid) but once you get used to it, it makes the PAL music sound desperate. The gameplay looks better too. Sonic on speed, how could it not be better.0 -

You can feel the speed difference in the controls. I got my girlfriend a modded saturn with a 50/60 Hz switch recently and you can switch between PAL and NTSC at the touch of a button. The game becomes really unresponsive and sluggish at 50 Hz. Kind of annoying realising you've been getting boned on terrible conversions for so many years and not playing these games the way they are meant to be played.
Even worse for RPG players. All those extra hours we pumped into games because they were running 20% slower. I could have made a bigger dent on my backlog!

Master all Materia
Great Gospel
and 99999999999999999999999 gil, are the trouble makers.
I wonder did they use the opportunity to fix basic games issues like the item glitch and the fact that magic defense stat on armor isn't assigned to any of the games mechanics and is thus a void stat.
I've got the Great Gospel already, just need Aeris to actually get to the stage where she can use it
the gil always seems to happen to me anyway but the master all materia....if we can't use magic pots with the W-item cheat, thats gonna be a pain 0 -

Well...since it's a question of "worth"
It's almost identical to the 1998 PC version. It adds support for higher resolutions and "achievements" If you were to emulate it you would literally have 100% more customizability, and probably more fun.
It should be no less than 2.99 not a mind 9.990 -

When you go to start the game it will ask do you want to play, see achievements, go to website or exit.What are these achievements your all on about btw? Where do they show up? In game or Squares weird download thingy?
Yep, I got 1 mastered.Do you have all the enemy skills? that counts too!
Really not loving this crappy achievement implementation

Hey, spent the last few days playing this, just wondering whats the recommended characters? atm I am using Cloud (obviously) Redxiii (use him for the healing of the party) and Vincent (main magic damage). Alot of people say to change Vincent with Cid?
Any help would be great, thanks 0 -

I just use them all giving them all equal play time. The game is very easy for an RPG and the characters only differ in the limit breaks they use due to the way the materia system works. I'd only be concerned about what characters to use when you are power gaming the optional weapon bosses and even then it's materia and not limit breaks that count. The game auto levels up people not in use anyway.
