FF Remasters

and here's what modders have come up with to fix.
It's not perfect but it's at least better.

Kek, that's hilarious. Why is Square inept enough to let this out the door.

Just waiting for AI to properly remaster PS1 games without any human opinion added in the mix.

Stop giving publishers money for these insulting rom dumps.

Goddamned faggots should learn to keep their stuff saved properly and with plenty of copies. God I hate when all this good material has gone to waste. Same with the Grim Fandango assets.

The ironic thing is the original renders would still hold up to this day. So fucking sad we didn't see this happen with all the FF games.

should I get viii or ix on the sale? or last remnant?

>Is the FF8 remaster worth it?
No. The junction and draw system is the worst jrpg combat system of all time. FF8 is shit because of it.

This is pretty good looking. The background looks really off though, was it done by an AI?

It's more or less just the job system that's new though, right?

Link to mod?

>he doesn't enjoy being overpowered in the first 10 minutes of the game

I swear to God, zoomers will be the last fucking nail in videogames coffin. Someday in the future when you're sitting in front of FF 15R, wondering about the last time you've seen or played something new and original and where the innovation went, I hope you remember this time.

IX is basically 3D IV (characters are locked into specific classes and join/leave the party as the plot demands). VIII's junction system is pretty unique to the series and would probably fit a tactics game better.

>a system that lets you git gud is bad
Only literal hideous unlikeable fag autists say this.
FF8 is the ultimate Chad FF game. Don't @me, fat fuck.

>Getting this filtered over the junction system

Where can you just become OP 10 mins in

Look nigger, I was just never into FF when I was young. I got into them recently and the remasters are out anyway so I'm seeing if they ruin anything gameplay wise.

backgrounds are blurry as fuck while characters are pristine 4k clear and it looks bad.

If a game was bad there would be no point in investing money since there would be target audience who like the game anyway. (see xenosaga)

Fish fins and quistis card for later

>t. doing less than 1000 damage on disc 3.

Literally dont need to use draw outside of like 5 or 6 boss battles

Has to be. AI upscaling can do pretty impressive stuff, but it works best when used on flat artwork, that you're not upscaling too much. If the original resolution is too low or image is very complex, you'll end up smears like seen in that image.
Still, way better looking than what Squenix did.

You can literaly have the final gunsword on the game by abusing the draw system left and right, without even finishing the 1st CD or even leaving the starting area

The truth hurts huh? It's why 8 barely gets any recognition compared to the others, it's shit. Just making sure OP saves his money for better things.

a lot

Pretty much the same game
I remember the first time that I beat this game, all I could ever asked was death, I thought this game was such a pile of shit
When the Remastered version released, I bought and knowing how to play/broken the game from my previous playthrough, I had the time of my life (I got all the achievements in Steam)
So go for it, user
If you are having problem and are losing your patience, don't feel bad searching something online
My tip for you not be another me is: read the menu and skills that the GFs can gain very carefully and as soon as possible, to decide the best way to invest your earlier points

It's Yas Forums's FOTM contrarian move to like 8 despite the plot being a piece of shit and the gameplay loop being both broken and boring.

Didn't they also add new jobs? There's also the X4 game speedup and two new versions of the soundtrack. That and cleaner textures makes it worth a purchase if you ask me.

>ff8
>ps1 with RGB scart
>trinitron CRT

maximum comfy.

The junction shit isn't that good, but FF8 is still a fantastic game. It's certainly 1000x better than modern FF like 13 or 15.

You can literally have 2000 HP 10 minutes into the game by changing Tents into Curagas and Junctioning it into your Health. Same with learning STR + whatever from the GFs, you end up killing everything in one hit, and if it wasn't enough due to the Limits being based on a percent of your total HP, you can end up having more Health than your other party members and STILL be able to do the Limit. It's fucking great.

It's better, but you're still probably better off playing the original in an emulator with a good shader.

>crtroyale
xm29+, actually.

You seem like a X/X-2 retard. Not my fault you didnt get it

Yeah. For the literal background characters they're posing character models and using photoshop to replace the originals.
I would imagine there's at least a little bit of manual manipulation, but mostly AI.
It's not out yet. This is where I've been following the occasional update.
forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=19218.0

Zoomers aren't the ones that have been asking for a VII Remake for 20 years though?

Cope more.
You can look back in the archives a decade and see discussions about 7,8, and 9 with plenty of people liking 8.
Newfaggot zoomer.

>better off with a shader
fuck off with your memelines

Is there anything like this for the original steam release? I usually don't give a fuck about filters, but they make pre-rendered backgrounds look amazing.

I thought X's gameplay was not as good as I would have liked (like at all), but was still manageable. Thought X-2 was just shit.

FF8's drawbacks are an over-reliance on summons and limit breaks, as well as it not being entirely clear from the get-go what magic will junction to make you more powerful (but this is resolved through experimentation). That and a somewhat difficult to follow narrative and characters who do some illogical things, ie "Oh I didn't tell you guys because I figured you all already knew," is what pushes people away from it. The gameplay isn't any worse than FF7's and it's certainly better than the molasses slow FF9.

>j-just go through the archives
>I swear there are people that liked it then!
The game is bad on every front. It has its kino opening, then sets fire to itself.

Final form ultimecia and the speech she gives is still kino.

Retroarch's shaders are unfortunately exclusive to Retroarch as far as I know.

X and VIII are my favourites, the fuck is the correlation there, faggot?

X has the best battle system in any FFgame.

can use the same ones in snes9x, but more depends on the emulator
