So how much of Final Fantasy X's aesthetic was ruined or enhanced by the remaster? How do you feel about it?

They fucked up the character models and the lighting. It's not as big of an issue as people say. If you play it on Vita you barely even notice it.
Honestly I'm disappointed no one has really attempted to fix it.

A lot.
Not a fan of it at all.
Emulated original is still the best way to go.

Not even a mod on PC? Kinda curious how they screwed the lighting. I'm assuming it's like MGS2 ports where a number of the lighting techniques used for it were just never replicated for any version of it ported from PS2.

My buddy is playing the remaster now. He's complaining about how emotionless the characters are

looking at this, i honestly can't tell which one is supposed to be the remaster

Outside of the character's faces, none

No, they LITERALLY had to re-build the game from ground-up, because Square did not archive any of the original assets back in the day.
This been the sin of many Jap studios, and it has come to bite them in the ass when the HD remaster boom started.

The UIX design, lighting, and nu-OST are fucking awful as well.

The left looks like a gay twink powerbottom but the right is literally just a baby. Also what the fuck did they do to his hair? PS2 hair looks way better just because it's not more aliasing than texture.

Everything was improved except Tidus and Yunas faces specifically, even all the other characters faces look better. Emulating this game is horrible, it looks like shit and you need to change emulator settings as you play to avoid certain bugs.

Right side is the remake. For some reason they gave everyone chubby cheeks.

I often think to myself how badly I want Front Mission 3, Parasite Eve, Legend of Mana and Vagrant Story to get a PC port. Then I remember this shit and it fills me more with fear than anything else.

I don't know why, but the modern devs switched to this dithered, 1-bit alphamap garbage some 15 years ago, severely downgrading the quality of transparent surfaces like hair.

Lighting, skyboxes, facial animations, UI and many other things look just pathetic in HD as well.

I played X-2 for one hour and almost got an aneurysm. Should I give it another try?

>because Square did not archive any of the original assets back in the day.
Except it's irrelevant because it's a fucking in the game already. Literally all they needed to do was rip it from the PS2 game. You can literally just do a quick google search and download the PS2 model of Tidus right now.

They look Xenosaga characters in the remaster. Plastic and emotionless. Part of the reason Final Fantasy X was a good game was because it was such an emotional story. This is not good. You don't want your characters to look like this.

Pretty much all of it
I'm still more mad about spore.

>jacked up Tidus face

Fair trade

Nice cherry picked example retard

>Literally all they needed to do was rip it from the PS2 game
More or less, yeah. It's still not as straight forward as just popping the disc into your PC and drag & dropping files out of it, but the BluePoint Studios did ALL their brilliant HD remasters (GoW, Ico/SotC, MGS Collection...) by reverse-engineering all the OG data out of the PS2 retail copies.

>caring about FFX
>aka the original FFXIII
have fun with your hallway simulator.

aren't these screenshots from the ps3 version? The ps4 and pc version look better than that

>the entire game is cherry picked!!

>Xenosaga
HD remaster when?

Are you seriously trying to say left looks better? Fuck off.

Uncaring. To me, having the original PS2 music was more important.

>The ps4 and pc version look better than that
They really do not.

I'm convinced remastards arent just stupid but actually malicious. They want to destroy gaming history actively.

I do. Especially in the motion.
The HD port's faces are like wax dolls with very restricted range of motion and emotion.

why yes that is ANOTHER cherry picked example of a specific character i already excluded from my statements, are you done baiting now?

Dropped it yesterday after 20hrs in and read a plot summary/watched the ending on yt
