>84
It's dead, Jim

What platform is everyone planning on getting? I didn't notice any differences between the XBox and Switch versions of VII, so I'll go with Switch for that portability.

There won't be any differences between versions, just like VII and IX. So, Switch here for sure.

i'm going to wait to see what bugs and glitches are there, then see if SE actually cares enough to patch something that wasn't a problem in the ps1 version

We must review bomb this with zeros!

None so far, the game is out for a week now (review copies) and some livestreams are out as well. The infamous music bug isn't there if that's what you're interested into.

Is this any different to the current Steam version besides proper modern controller support?

better character models, faster loading times and built-in cheats like 3x speed and no-encounters

Graphical updates.

Trophies, portability.

>84
>not 99.9
It's shit
t. Yea Forums

Ehh the Steam version already has cheats and runs fine. I'll probably get it anyway just because the button mapping was fucking terrible.

Also a FF6 port without retarded sprites next pls

That's interesting, I didn't know that.

FF6 needs just a straight port with the original sprites and flawless emulation just like the Collection of Mana games.

stop supporting shit tier remasters you fucking faggots

PS4 for the sweet Platinum Trophy.

burkastation fags on suicide watch

Why did they even waste time doing this?

>right is supposed to look better according to this fag

I'll wait for the background mods. The upgraded models placed on top of the blurry backgrounds that SE won't bother to actually touch up look pretty jarring.

autism

zoom zoom

>FF6 needs just a straight port with the original sprites
Yeah a simple straight port is all I want. Even the ~ for HP bars for nostalgia's sake. Ridiculous that it's my favourite game in the series yet the only one I haven't bought the "remaster" for

The fact that I can't get the regular FFIV on steam also annoys the fuck out of me. The 3D version is horrible

>completely generic
>less cleavage
you're a homo

the camera zoom is horrible with the pc version but you can probably mod it out. aside from that I thought it was okay. was my first ever playthrough and I did it on hard mode which was pretty challenging for a ff game

They were already redoing all the models.

PS4

(and, because of backwards compatibility, PS5)

>It's dead, Jim

that's not bad.

I mean FF15 has an 81 and it's "we 'fixed' everything" edition is at a 77

Is that only in the PS4 version? Or all of the remasters?

>meh redesigns
>didn't touch up the backgrounds
>sporadic censorship

Nah, I'll stick to my original Steam version with mods.

have fun

Wonder what kind of bullshit trophies there will be. I'm dreading TT.

>tfw only play this game in order to play the card game

Nothing in the remaster seems to warrant the price. Still the low resolution original backgrounds with hit-or-miss renewed models, some of which don't look at all like the character they're supposed to be

I don't know why they even bothered with this, I guess the fans will buy anything and SE figured this out long ago

Nothing like PS3 era models moving around with PS1 era animations

looks easy

who cares, we have to wait for HD ai-sharpened background mods and uncensor mods anyway

>we have to wait for uncensor mods
Why not just watch porn

what does porn have to do with waiting for the game's original artistic vision to be restored?

Is PC censored too or what?

"artistic vision"

it's just some feathers, get over it dude

I wasn't asking for your worthless opinion, censorship apologist

Every. Fucking. Time.

How much should they charge for it? $0.99?

fuck you

You're literally complaining about a bird woman whose crotch was modified to look less like pubic hair (which was never the intent to begin with)

Dotemu, the company that fixed the music bug in the FF7 and 9 ports, has been working on the FF8 port from the get-go this time around. Hopefully Square didn't fuck it up.

I never complained. I said I would wait until it was patched.

Any word on if the translation will be improved from the PS1, or are they just reusing the English scripts?

>(which was never the intent to begin with)

yeah, the intent was never to make her look naked, so unfair people got it wrong

>I will wait until the artistic vision has been altered by fans because I don't like the artistic vision being altered
Bullet proof logic

Why do you care so much whether I wait for a mod?

If it doesn't let me toggle the "enemies level up with you" mechanic, no.

I just don't understand people who complain about anime titties being censored. It's one of those things that makes playing video games embarrassing, as it implies the purveyors of this hobby are nothing but perverts. They should all be removed

I never complained you faggots jesus christ I just said I was waiting for a mod to come out what the fuck is wrong with you censor apologists??

I think it's pretty obvious I'm not speaking specifically about you

Nigga, you can barely see her cleavage in the right.

It would completely break the game to turn it off

>being embarrassed when playing games with fanservice
Sounds like a problem a little bitch would have. You're not a little bitch, are you user?

Literally a low effort "HD" version to make people double dip.
Just play on PSX with upscaling and some shaders.

This! So much thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis! It's the current year ffs...

Oh no, you've insulted me on the internet. I better defend my honor..

But I already own the Steam version. Why should I get this one?

Console owners can't mod their games

It's censored, so no

This is just to keep the game available on multiple platforms. It's not for you.

As if someone who supports censorship of things he doesn't like would have a shred of honor.

I support video games not appearing to be thinly veiled porn

>feathery underwear and cleavage = pornography
You DO know what porn actually is, right?

I think you've been so desensitized by the internet that you are the one who doesn't. It's extremely obvious why they changed Siren. As for how much cleavage Rinoa is showing, I submit this: Squall doesn't even resemble his original character. In what reality do you think they could have remodeled the characters and got an "amount" of cleavage to look the same as it did in the old models?

I'll be waiting for a model swap for Squall before buying. Jesus, S-E really needs to fuck up something on these releases don't they.
>The weirdly different models in FFVII
>The UI in FFIX

>"It's extremely obvious why they changed Siren"
>Shiva basically has the same exact amount of skin showing
>She is in the game unchanged
dodgy sporadic censorship at it's finest.
>"Squall doesn't even resemble his original character"
Which is also bad.
>"In what reality do you think they could have remodeled the characters and got an "amount" of cleavage to look the same as it did in the old models?"
Modders seemed to have done a good job with the old PC version, so...

I've been genuinely hyped since the announcement.
I might wait till a hard mode mod gets released though.

Modders just texture swapped the models in the PC version, I think. I wonder if there's a way to model swap the remastered version on pirated Switch, now that I think of it.

>FFIX gets 94

OH NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

FFVIIIFAGS CONFIRMED ON SUICIDE WATCH

As an FF fan, fucking pass

8 has no redeeming qualities except the OST

>not playing FF VII, VIII and IX exclusively on your phone
Why would anyone not do that?

>draw
>junction
>win

I think it was just a texture swap, and they look great. Accurate to the original too. SquareEnix could have done that, but no, they had to make new models that don't look as good, because... shit I don't know.

I'm not playing that piece of crap again.

>I think it was just a texture swap, and they look great.
No they don't lol, don't kid yourself, all texture swaps for FFVIII look like fucking nightmare fuel. In comparison, the new models in FFVIIIR are godly, EVEN Squall.

None.

But PC if I wanted to not look like a massive faggot. Portability is on pc too, faggot.

Nope. I re-installed the original 2000 PC port the other day. Works absolutely perfectly on Windows 10 without any tweaking, but I also grabbed a patch to allow it to render at native 1440p and one to replace the butchered MIDI music with the PS1 versions. Fuck remasters.

Whatever you say, bud. Enjoy your "Remaster".

Not gonna, just stating what there is.

what’s the pre-order theme of FF VIII on PS4? Its quality will determine whether I pick that version or the Switch one tomorrow

>MUH CENSORSHIP
>it's just minor shit
>WTF R U A NAZI???
Why are you faggots so hysterical?

>portability is on PC too

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
that made my day dude

PSX.

To hell with the shitty "remaster" with blurry backgrounds and silly faces. Just emulate the original. That gives you a vastly superior experience to the so-called "remaster", both visually and soul/feel wise. Also it looks better than native PSX hardware in some ways (more detailed faces etc). Pic related is the best way to do it (any other settings only degrades or muddies the graphics). If the pixels are too big for you just use 640x448 instead.

So are Rinoa's breasts and Sirens pussy covered up due to Square being cucks or has the rating system in japan changed and they had to do it to avoid an M rating?

If it's just minor shit then why censor it?

Square is defunct since 2003 bro.

I'm downloading it as we speak.
It's 0:30 here. I finished FFVII two days ago for the first time, it's as good as FFVI imo and now my expectation are high for FFVIII.

It's silly and pointless but inconsequential for PC users, so I don't really care.

But, if it is 99, its paid reviews

>No moogles
>No chocobos
>No crystals
It's not a final fantasy game. In fact, it deserves much lower for attempting to be one.

>>No chocobos

they are in the game but they are so far away and 100% optional. You can beat the game and not run into one.

Doesn't help that the Pocketstation was not popular over here

Switch for me.

There's chocobos hidden and moogles have a summon. They purposely avoid them, like some kind of producer wishlist item.

Why are the backgrounds so fucking blurry? Did I develop glaucoma or something?

because muh texture filtering

Actual autism.

I already played it. I don't need retards to review it for me especially mouthbreathers like critics.

I suspect it may be like FF9 where they lost all the original background files so can't upscale them.

Is the game still going to be cheesable through Aura -> Limit break spam?
