Why do unpaid, unprofessional modders so often do a way better job than official developers?

The two aren't mutually exclusive.

No one will read this.

These aren't contrasting ideas, brainlet.

they used an a.i. algorithm to enhance those backgrounds. which wouldn't have needed to be done if squeenix would have just gave us the uncompressed backgrounds to begin with almost assuredly they deleted them and no longer exist

someone drew those backgrounds and you can tell some of them were really nice.

no deadlines + no money limitation (working for free) + not having to explain yourself to anyone (stakeholders, other devs, fans)

Classic jrpg at its finest, if you're into that then you will have a great time

It's the best of the 3 PS1 FF games
Take that how you want

>no money limitation (working for free)
good goy!

Yes they are. You can't call something your passion when it literally puts food on the table.

Developers are garbage
I can't name one half decent development studio

>pastebin.com/YX6q6nGK
as a fellow lawfag I agree on many of your points.

However if you want to make any impact on this front you should spend less time shitposting and more time getting a good enough LSAT score to go to a top 100 law school

Deep love

This is stupid, you're stupid, go back to your walmart job lmao

>before you guys
And later it turned out that Shitestda is responsible for that mess.

For me it's the best videogame ever made.

I had to read the whole thing out of spite.

When it comes to mods yes they are,unless you want to start defending paid mods

>of the 3
It's worse than FF7, it's definitely worse than FF Tactics, and it's on par with FF8. Suck a limp dick.

Heavily linear for a huge part of the game
Cringy story, obviously written for a 12 year old audience
Extremely weeby

Overall probably the greatest game on the PS1

So often? Modders and indie producers create in the order of 10 000 times more shit than professionals do each year. And 99.999% of it is complete bullshit, most of which you've never even heard of.

Like with almost any profession accessible to amateurs, from coding to graphics design to music to mathematics, the very best amateurs will be better than below average professionals. But the very best, are an extremely rare exception, and it usually comes with a price. Namely, they're fucking horrible with business sense, deadlines, and customer needs... otherwise, they'd BE professionals.

>FF7
>Better than FF9

I'll give you it's better than 8, but holy shit it is NOT better than 9

Yes very much so, but give it time.
Don't start the first hour of the game then quit because
>Furry shit
>Main character too silly/cheerful

It's a long game, enjoy every part of it because a lot of shit changes as the game goes on.

It's the best FF imho.
PS1 version to be precise.

Then why can't I buy mods on steam but can on Shitestda launcher?

uh yeah?

Passion

well yeah, it's the best FF besides FFVI

To add on to this, modders also don't have requirements from their corporate purse-owners. They just make whatever they want to make, for better or worse.
The biggest difference, of course, is that if someone makes a shitty mod they're just ignored. If some major dev makes a shitty game people complain, bitch, moan and throw a tantrum and still buy it like good little children.

>creating the entire game
>adding or changing a couple things
Retarded thread.

>expecting you idiots to be mature enough to know how businesses operate

>You can't call something your passion when it literally puts food on the table.
Absolute brainlet post.

Soul Soulless

Are you sick in the head? FFVII was the epitome of Final Fantasy games, best one developed. FF8 was shit, and FF9 was like a small recovery movement in the right direction but it was nowhere near the level of FFVII. Generic, boring story, generic boring characters, generic boring music, and generic everything else too.

There's a reason they made FFVII into a remake, and not anything else. Because that's the legend everyone knows about, winner of best soundtrack of the decade etc. But yes, you have a shit taste, no accounting for that. Just like some people think Bad Taste is the best movie ever made, we're not all born right in the head.

It handles some pretty dark themes, specifically with Vivi and his existential crisis. Definitely not a kids game, despite appearances.

Some do so to build a portfolio. Others do it out of disgust for "professionals". The there's those guys who just do it for fun.

FFVII is a poor man's FFVI.

>There's a reason they made FFVII into a remake
Yeah the massive flop that took a decade to make
FFXV
Square just can't afford another decade to work on just one game.
Remind me in 10 years when VII remake last part is finished.

FFVI is a poor man's Chrono Trigger

Can't you read?It's even highlighted for you.
The only mistake Valve did according to Valve was that it tried to step in an ESTABLISHED modding community for a game,meaning if it was a brand new IP without an established modding community they wouldn't have any problem moral,ethical,legal or other charging suckers like you to pay for mods.
They have shown their intentions clear as day and yet cocksucking fanboys still come out of the woodwork to defend them.

developers get paid to meet a deadline
modders do what they want to do for no charge

>SQUARE HIRE THIS MAN

The way you talk about FF7 makes me think you never even played FF4-6.

Then show me new IPs where I can buy mods for it on Steam.

Dancing Mad is the highest praised piece of music in the Final Fantasy series. FF VII has got nothing on VI.

Because they are working with something existing rather than creating something new. It's always easier to refine than create.
