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

Also, I've read the remaster uses MIDI music, or something which sounds similar to midi...

It bugs out at times where it will for inexplicable reasons switch from PS1 music to the PC MIDI music. Random weird bugs, probably they didn't mod the PC version properly enough so it just bugs out at times and then goes back to the MIDI soundtrack.

Top-quality programming.

You can remove dithering from PSX games by rendering at 32bpp

Really only an issue for pixel games that have dithered assets

Wouldn't that cause color banding though?

I swear, the retarded salarymen at Square Shit Enix are outsourcing this to the gookiest of gooks -

steamcommunity.com/app/1026680/discussions/0/1633040337745205689/

It takes effort to fuck things up to this degree

all true, except for the crt filter part

No more than you're already getting at 32bpp
You have to do something with gradients

You haven't seen it done right at 4K with integer scaling. It looks like a real CRT at ordinary viewing distance. I've impressed even purist friends who only retro game on real CRT. I have an OLED panel though so the entry bar is pretty high to do it right

I'll be honest I just love the crunchy PSX look. The game just doesnt look right clean.

>34 pages
And now I'm realizing thousand of people bought a port worse than the other port.

the dithering can look good, some PSX games were designed with it in mind

The fuck happened to the road textures on the world map?

Did the original pc port (or the original Steam version which I think was just a compatibility-tweaked release?) have the same issues with the 15fps-UI as well? I figure a lot of the problems with this 'remaster' is they based it off of an inferior version.

Scanline filters is absolute garbage and cringe. Real CRTs don't look like that, in fact on a real CRT TV you can't even see any lines unless you sit super close. People who believe scanlines are visible and some sort of "look" that CRTs have are the same kind of retards who believe that CRTs visibily flicker. Absolutely idiotic. Most of them have never seen a CRT TV.

I highly doubt anyone is going to mod this shit.

Nice to see FF8 getting the treatment it deserves, kek

Filtering tiled textures that were designed to be unfiltered is a problem of emulation, there's no simple solution or a way to filter them that doesn't create the tile effect, because you can't filter with a bias to the surrounding tiles as the filter algorithm isn't complex enough to know that, and it would really slow down emulation

> People with $0 budget can do this
> But a multi billion dollar company can't

Games industry fucking sucks monkey dicks

Try it out with SABR someday on Beetle PSX HW, it completely avoids the problem.

I don't see why not, it's basically the eidos version with tweeks, what has been modded can be modded again

LOOKIN GOOD

What are the odds they contacted some of the modders on the slick and got them to sign an NDA to do this 'remaster'?

It's basically exactly the same so why would anyone waste their time? Use your brain.

Why? I thought the only thing wrong with it are some really bad textures but it otherwise runs better than the old PC version.
Yeah it's pretty fucking ridiculous, I'm about done with Square Enix for good.

They did with the FF7 Steam port & told the guy to stop working on his custom driver afterwards

How is this emulation if it's the decompiled Eidos exe?

This is still not as bad as their Steam Chrono Trigger release, which required SIX UPDATES to unfuck most of it. Including the one update that broke save points.

The Eidos version is using the PSX version's original textures, which were not designed to be filtered because the PSX couldn't filter.

>They did with the FF7 Steam port & told the guy to stop working on his custom driver afterwards

Typical scummy Japanese business antics. M2 did the same with a ROM hacker that was making an Aleste port to Mega Drive.

How much did he even make off that commission? I doubt the remaster sold all that much. Maybe if you're from Russia, a one-time $4K goes a long way.

What if you just didn't use texture filtering, is the Eidos version still fucked then?

It's the exact opposite: Higher quality CRT TVs do not have visible lines. Lower quality ones do, and even with those you need to sit very near the screen to see them.

Honestly Squall is the only one that's off, and he's only off at certain angles, it's pretty good from the right view

Just check out Cid, for instance:

And yes, the original PC version is fucked, it's missing tons of shit that the PSX version had and had to be continually patched/modded to even come close

Original Eidos EXE was compiled for 32-bit instruction set. That doesn't function as-is on consoles, so they had to wrap it all up for the targeted platforms. It's why the remaster doesn't work on a 32-bit OS either.

cringe

I guess it depends what resolution we're talking about. At 240p you'd have to be blind not to see them. Interlaced resolutions not so much obviously

I've fed you enough (you)s, you can believe whatever you want

Was it based off an incomplete.beta version of the PSX game just like FF7? IIRC the water map was missing all the textures on the PC version.

Ok that makes it sound like FF7. Especially since I've never played it before.

Qhimm forums is still alive. All the mods still work on PC. Not sure why anyone would bother with this release when mods do it better.

FF7 wasn't as bad as this, but still worse than original.

I'm not asking which version to play. I couldn't care less about Final Fantasy. I'm just interested in platform differences and botched ports.

Is it really so fucking expensive to just do a proper decompilation? There's dozens of projects out there literally doing it for free for various games as we speak. Then you'll have a sane codebase you can use forever until you go and lose it again.

FF7 doesn't use texture maps as much so you don't have the pixel fuckery

VII had problems but it wasn't IX or worse, X tier, this is genuinely awful. Look at

The new charcter designs are just generic modern Nomura characters. They all look like they are Kingdom Hearts models.

>mods do it better.
Mods do it for free

Dithering wasn't done for effect, it was done as a performance shortcut for when you wouldn't notice that shit on a tube TV due to how colours are bled on it.

>Not sure why anyone would bother with this release when mods do it better.
Again, it's the only option for Switch and PS4 users. Yeah, you'd have to be an idiot to buy this on PC but I think you'd have to be an idiot to buy the original on PC anyway. Clearly people are idiots, get over it.

I don't understand why you're asking this. I grew up with these games but didn't play the remasters. I don't play a lot of new games, I was just wondering what's bad about them.

Some people really sperged over the looks of the character remodeling and slight lighting changes in environment (which were done to facilitate realtime environment/character shadows instead of blobs on the PS2 original). You could argue over the music but they included the original tracks as an option in later releases.

In high-school, a girl I liked loved the look of the game on PS1 but she didn't have the console so I bought her the PC version for her dad's comp. She popped my cherry soon after. Best investment I did in my young life.

FFX fucked up the models and animations. You should be able to tell just by looking at it. FF9 is more gameplay in its errors.

LOL some of their shit's good. Romancing SaGa 3's remaster is shaping up to be great.

I've been playing Romancing Saga 2 and I love that it's a fucking SNES game with zero changes on the UI/presentation end, aside from redone art and puppet-animated bosses. Feels like I'm playing a lost relic from the era of JRPGs I grew up with that's new to me.

I don't know what limited group or time era you played in/with but FFXI had no shortage of terribly skilled players even at endgame level. Being able to survive a guantlet of a terribly designed leveling system in no way insured that the people who made it through were good, just that they were dedicated

X is just blatantly worse in every way. I can post more if you like. IX just had really blurry backgrounds compared to the original. It wasn't terrible but it wasn't the "ideal" remaster people wanted.

SD3 remake looks pretty good and they've already released a translated version on the original like months ago.

FF9 has more issues than that. It's worse than FFX, it just doesn't look bad.

I'm fine with the UI even though it's a little clunky moving items about.

Most of this shit you wouldn't notice without a side-by-side regardless, and a lot of the weirdness is due to idiots emulating FFX's resolution raw without taking into account the aspect ratio squish for TV display.

>Most of this shit you wouldn't notice without a side-by-side regardless
Tidus clearly looks fucked up. Just look at his eyes. I don't know what Chinese interns they got to make the FFX remaster but they were clearly unpaid ones

I mean, the UI is functional, it's just very very ugly. Less rounded edges and opacity/texture options would make it miles better. And believe me, the shit they did to FFX is completely noticeable. They fucked up every single cutscene, animations look very awkward for a game that was the gold standard of the industry, they didn't even bother to put directional lightning.

How much effort would it take to just rewrite the game? We're talking about a fucking JRPG. The script can be dumped from the original, you don't need the source code. Just rewrite the fucking program and it solves all of this. At worst, your dice rolls are slightly different than they used to be but so fucking what

>Most of this shit you wouldn't notice without a side-by-side regardless
The animations are worse, you'd have to be fucking retarded to think they look good whereas it's normal to think FFX(original) looks good.

Don't care about the remaster. But I heard that PS1 version was better tgan the fist PC version. Can anyone tell me why? I only ever got to play the PC version.

The first PC version had awful midi tracks which alone made the PSX version superior. To this day, the PC version doesn't support analog controls or rumble, which the PSX version did from the start

Precisely. RS3 doesn't fare better, it seems.

I cleared X on ps2 3 times and 1 time on PC remaster. I wonder if should play X-2 remastered or one emulator?

not surprising. if they don't have original source code/artwork/etc they have to do the best they can with reversed engineered code.

Sadly if no one buys this, they'll use it as an excuse not to bother with FF8 in the future
You're fucked either way

Back to your thread Xenofaggot.

Even if FFX was based on Nomura's character designs, the characters were still given life by the modelers. Modern SE takes Nomura's generic anime characters literally and they come across as lifeless plastic, basically straight from KH. That comparison of Seymour is actually unintentionally brilliant, since it ends up looking like old FF vs neo KH style

The problem with lightning and the models is still there (Yuna has her whole face changed up). youtube.com/watch?v=Rkhsz4R7vfs

However, the game uses cutscene models way less than X, and the palette is generally more faithful. It's probably worth playing because it's the International Version translated to english.

It's insane that the 'remaster' is literally a downgrade.

Like one looks like PS3-quality models, the other like PS2-era models, except in reverse. It's incredible.

I bought that game a year ago for my Switch but I am to stupid to understand how to play it so I gave up after a half hour. Does it actually ever get fun to play or is it just a meme game that is more focused on its mechanics instead of its game play?

Fuck you, I'm gonna find you and murder everyone you love, nigger!

Shadowbringers is the best FF since at least X

you could literally always uncap your frame rate while emulating
or use cheat engine to speed up the pc version

It's really interesting how all the major fuckups are with the big series. DQI-III just look like shitted on SNES ports, this, all remasters of FFI-VI except the GBA ones... But FF Crystal Chronicles looks good, so does Chocobo Dungeon, Romancing SaGa, the new Trials of Mana, the emulation on the Collection of Mana... Hell, even the worst offender of changed visuals, Last Remnant in UE4, looks mostly very decent in comparison to whatever they did with FFX, one of their flagship titles.

>the new Trials of Mana,
>TLR
user do your homework.

Doesn't that fuck up the audio?

I'm too lazy to do that
the last time I played 8 was years ago on my psp too

You play it for the story. Romancing SaGa series doesn't play like most JRPGs where you grind or keep party members around forever. You're not meant to minmax or keep members around. If they die, they die, and you just rep them and move on until another generation leap occurs and gives you a fresh group.

i bought it and it looks good to me

Sorry for putting a remake in the group. However, TLR mostly looks decent. Sure, it has some lightning changes, but the core of it is mantained. I can't say that of FFX or FFVIII.

> is it just a meme game that is more focused on its mechanics instead of its game play?
Huh?

>Lower framerate than PS1
>More input delay than PS1 version
>Input in battles on PS1 was done at 60fps

It's a shitty remaster but you basically listed the same point 3 times here. The framerate is the same except for the UI and the UI having a lower framerate can fuck precision inputs due to low fps.

Why do we need remasters? What's so bad about putting the games up for sale as-is?

But both of them look awful compared to the originals.

Man, imagine an FF8 remake with actual graphics

Disagree.

reminds me of the FF6 PC release, still get irritated about that shit

>The framerate is the same
It's actually 1fps higher which is problematic. 15fps goes evenly into 60/120hz. 16fps does not, so you'll get a judder every second.

My character died and I couldn't get him back. I had zero clue what I was supposed to do. I left a castle went to some random cave for no reason and died. I could not find a way to keep going so I deleted it, my question is if the game will ever let me play it or will I have to keep stumbling around mechanics that aren't fun in order to get through it.

Attached: X Doubt.png (2847x1412, 1.94M)

Have you read the manual? You seem to not understand what the game's about. The beginning of the game is also more streamlined than the rest with a distinct goal so I have no idea what are you missing. You are talking to most people you meet, no?

The only notable difference is a total lack of lighting.

I can't remember it's been a year or so since I played it but I do remember playing as a king that died for some reason? Then there was nowhere to go so I went out to a cave and died to some monsters and deleted the game. But I know for a fact that there was no instructions on where to go anywhere.

Few remasters receive effort even comparable to this, so yeah.

Undoubtedly it will be cherrypicked, people will shitpost the resolution, easily, but they won't be shitposting the fact that it's emulated, that it's using midi music, that it hasn't been fully tested, that only a few minor points of the visual quality have been improved, and that the games framerate is fucked to the point that it makes some aspects unplayable. All this said and Xenoblade Definitive Edition is a remaster to a game that sold under 1 million units, it's relatively niche, FFX/FFVIII aren't, the FFX remake will easily outsell the best selling Xenoblade game, possibly historically, yet in spite of making more money guaranteed the effort is pathetic compared to Xenoblade Definitive Edition.

It's a remaster, so yeah in context this is good work, they are still working on at least 2 other games, possibly 3, and it's just 1 development studio, meanwhile Square Enix is so far up their own ass that they have massive studios working on a single game because they think that graphics is their major selling point, even though their games are well outside of the top echelon of graphical quality compared to their contemporaries.

So, you passed through the whole beginning section in which the king passes his abilities to his son and thus becomes the first emperor. The reasons for entering the cave are told to you man, you just had a nigh invasion of goblins that you just mitigated and they tell you "those monsters are at the outpost!". You even can choose whether you can go to the dude that killed your father or to the outpost. It's concisely explained and showcases the type of things you should get accustomed to when playing the game (it's very open about decision and their consequences). Unless you've been playing VERY lazily, there's no reason to get lost at this part of the game, since the rest is MUCH less linear.

They can also just pay $9.99 to play the PS1 original on PS3/PSP/Vita without all of the problems of this remaster.

Seeing everything in game rather than static comparison images actually makes things look slightly better.
Not great but at least playable.

So I'll take that as a no and I won't play it again then. If I had so much trouble at a so called linear part of the game my brain would probably shut down at the later stages. Thank you for saving me a bunch of frustration.

At the very least, maybe this means they're focusing everything on making FF7R good by half-assing everything else.. Or maybe in typical modern Square fashion that's going to turn out to be a giant half-assed pile of shit that they ruin too.

Good chance FF7R will be shit
SE is 10 years behind in the industry and all talents have left
They literally can't make ambitious games anymore

The entire point here is that once you rewrite the executable, you have portable code that can be reused again, efficiently, indefinitely instead of emulating broken shit that never worked the way it was supposed to.

Even this abortion has costs associated, so don't go thinking it was free. It also has the cost of making them look really, really bad.

The FFVI port uses new assets. FFVIII is lazy, FFVI is stupid.

Since I don't see anyone mentioning it, does this mean they didn't fuck up the XII remaster too much?

is there remastered version of this yet?

What does the remastered version of "Whatever." look like?

It looks worse than PS2 as well but that's literally it. It's on PC with 60fps and mods so it's alright.

only 30fps on consoles though

soulless soul

Why's her skin green?

this thread is hilarious

So the characters look 100% better, but because the backgrounds only look 10% better, you should instead play the version that looks like even worse shit in both categories.

Why does this board go full pepega when it comes to remasters.

Serious question, why would anyone buy this when there's mods for literally every asset in the game already circulating ever since the Steam release?

NEVER EVER purchase this

>shilling this faggot who stole other people's work and repackaged it for a price
why

>So the characters look 100% better
stopped reading there
the style is really off, Squall doesn't even look like Squall anymore but is instead some bishi anime character
there's better mods for better versions of the game for free

cope and seethe

>InceLEDs destroy another series with shit remasters
