FF VIII "(((they))) don't want you to talk about it" remaster's thread

>If you can't play on the original console--
Then play PC port of 2000. It's a definitive go-to version nowadays.
PC port of 2000 was made with leftovers from the source code of Japanese PSOne release, as it was the last one they still had on their hands at the time. As "bad" as some people tended to deem that PC port back in the days, it stand the trial of time and has proven nowadays to actually end up being the definitive version to play because modding community makes it so their quality mods work both with the Steam release and with the 2000's PC release, but unlike Steam's release the 2000's release is not an emulation. PC 2000 is the go-to, nowadays. It's still a correct Final Fantasy VIII, despite using Japanese PSOne version's code (and Japanese version is notoriously ill-known to be raw/unpolished/buggy/glitchy and exploitable, in comparison to the perfection that is NTSC-US localization).

There's no "bad ending" cut. They made it so you could get all the jobs on 2 loops rather than 4.

Costumes are jobs.
They removed costumes, hence removing jobs.

that sounds weirdly desperate just for a re-release. Is something else going on? Sure a company like Square Enix would be greedy as hell, but censoring any negative comments is an exaggerated amount of retaliation

they removed all the 0.1 playtime reviews of retards crying about about not being able to see pubes. all the reviews that shit on the game for everything actually wrong with it are up.

rinoa? you mean her 3d model has smaller breasts?

Literally just siren pubes.

The rinoa claims are complete bullshit. People are complaining about like 2 smudged pixels that kind of looked like cleavage being less noticeable now because they slapped on a new model with slightly more texture resolution.

Number 1 in the JP switch eshop somehow

Found one more point of censorship in this garbage:
Gero Gero (boss in the train) is censored according to the way how he looks in the westerner releases of PSOne, which "blue and green" intestines instead of red like in the Japanese original. There's already a mod that restores original looks/removes censorship for that.

fuck retards that try to hide names in screenshots

She had much deeper and revealing cleavage before (not like there was anything to see, anyway. She was always flat as a board. Even Selfie has bigger milkies), now they've "covered" her like they did with Tifa in FFVIIR. At least they didn't reduce the size, as there's nothing to reduce (you can't reduce that what's nonexistent to begin with).

No one "hid" anything, you retard. It was done solely for size purposes as there's stupid limits for images on 4chins.

Sure chen sure

I'm gussing this was out of laziness. It's hard to make that cleavage cut look decent on the higher quality model without actually taking the time to model the breasts properly, which is probably beyond their pay grade.

Whatever makes you feel oh-ever-so-slightly better about yourself, man. Your headcanon is your headcanon, after all. No one would take THAT away from you, that's for sure.

This entire release is "laziness" epitomized.

I hope people who use quotation "like this" are ESL and not just illiterate.

Maybe. But that doesn't, in any way whatsoever, make it any less of a FACT that SquE/DotEmu stole his exact rendition of that content. They didn't even bother to hide/shoop it well.

what a entitled bitch. then do not buy the product, its simple.

Those are two entirely separate issues. That is actual censorship, the sidequest ending change was made in the subsequent JP versions as well as all others, including the western release, because it was a stupid design decision originally.

Believe me, BITCH, I'm not ever going to. And I'm not even going to pirate this garbage POS. I'm completely boycotting it. Besides, I have perfectly finely working PSOne's original and 2000's PC port (which is vastly superior to Steam's garbage in every way imaginable, since it still has original source code in it) in here. I can either play PSOne's original on actual console or via an emulator at any time I want to, or I can install and run 2000's PC port and apply modern mods/AI upscaled textures to it for the absolutely perfect (uncucked) experience. And you keep on eating shit and being scammed, kid.

Complete and absolute miss on each and every field, kid. Buy yourself a working defector first, and then learn into comprehension second. Grow up.

I was never banned on Steam an I've never created any "50 thread about trannie shit", and more than so - I never even complained directly about Siren (saying "censorship sucks" is not same as saying "BUT MUH PUBES"). You're literally missing on each field and making a total idiot out of yourself on the web, kid.

Also, the mere fact you don't understand/don't comprehend that "kid" is a denotation of a state of the mind/thinking/behavior rather than a pointing out of your age, shows that you're actually underage and inexperienced in life. Grow up.

>"kid" is a denotation of a state of the mind/thinking/behavior rather than a pointing out of your age
Yeah, it usually denotes the person using it is incredibly obnoxious and arrogant and assumes themselves to possess wisdom they almost never actually have. At least, that's why I use it, kid.

I might be obnoxious and arrogant, but I sure as hell contain wisdom and knowledge (and actual experience) unlike your lame sorry-ass.

holy shit lmao

"whatever."

And there's some SquE's anal rooster bitch shiller on Steam's forums (and he's highly likely reading this thread right now) that tried to defend SquE by proclaiming it's the only track and only place in the game where that shit bug happens, while in reality it was already found out by several LP'ing people on YouTube that there's at least three different places in the game when this happens. What a fucking lying cuckold.

I wanna see selfies panties

The fan modding community does it for free.

You'd have to be playing PSOne's original (and only NTSC-US or NTSC-JAP, as EU PAL is an absolutely cucked garbage) or 2000's PC port, for that.

Wrong scene. Her panties is in the FMV, not on the model (I never said they're on model, anyway).

Critics and user reviews gave it good scores because they don't give a shit half of the stuff listed there and just thought "WOW classic JRPG". People sure like going with the most complex reasons for shit even though the simplest explanation is usually the correct one.

Can you still use the scan spell or whatever it was called and rotate the camera to see her panties in all of its glory?

That's the original. Remaster censored this, presumably.

They didnt, this is from the remaster.

It's clearly misplaced and doesn't look like panties, but rather a part of the dress.

I am playing the game currently and have seen her panties in the remaster in battle

Screencap it, then. But at a correct angle (like in the original).

>just buy the game, bigot

I am at work, if this thread is still up when I get home I will do that.

>She had a coral ornament perfectly shaped where it needed
Pretty sure they were feathers, which, considering she has feathers rather than hair, makes them seem like pubes.

This, however, has been a standard way of depicting "naked" creatures. Just stuff their crotch with fur/feathers/whatever and don't ask too many questions.

Emulate the original or get the steam version instead.
The remaster is unironically the worst version.

If you wish to have the most cleanest and purest experience - play PSOne's JP or US release, emulation is allowed. If you wish to have the BEST and most fullest experience - play 2000's PC port with all of the best/modern mods and AI upscale/texture updates available.

You can absolutely ignore/boycott/trash away everything else.

Read the thread, it was already partially deconfirmed. Panties were censored, but only in the FMV. Japanese version had panties both in FMVs and in the game, while US release had them only on the model and EU PAL garbage completrely removed them from everywhere. Steam's emulation and this pseudo-"""""remaster""""" of a mod-over-Steam's-release both have panties intact on the model. 2000's PC port was built with original Japanese PSOne version's source code, so it's highly likely that the very first PC port has panties intact (at least on the model) too.

Modded steam version I mean.

It's still vastly inferior to 2000's PC port, as there's literally 0 lines of original source code and it's essentially sloppy emulation of a "recreation attempt". The shit is bugged, glitched, incorrect, and full of holes. No amount of mods could fix that, while almost all of the most best currently available mods are made in such a way that they fully support working with 2000's PC port. PC 2000 is THE definitive version to get and play nowadays, as far as PC releases in particular go.

But it's also impossible to find, assuming you don't want to pirate.

>The shit is bugged, glitched, incorrect, and full of holes
Mind expanding on that?

>This ethics bullshit must have started happening around 2013-2014
2012. Bravely Default. Never forget, never forgive.

>Read the thread
No one cares faggot. Its still censorship regardless of intentions.

Come-the fuck-on. You HAVE to pirate nowadays, if you wish to get an old game in it's best form. Or AT THE VERY LEAST buy it on the GODLIKE GOG.

>Mind expanding on that?

Then do the responsible and share a link for the 2000 version. That shit doesn't exist anymore on search engines, all of it is about the steam version or ps1 one.

GOG has original PC version, if I remember correctly. Either way, my point was more about GOG being fair and not ruining releases with DRM BS, which essentially means that if you paid for the game on GOG - you now wholly own those files and allowed to do whatever the hell you want with them.

I highly recommend you'd play PSOne's NTSC-US release on a PC, rather than a phone. This is because most emulators can't render PSOne's graphics properly and have "texture warping" or "polygon jitter". Things such as these been fixed recently with PGXP plugin, but that plugin, if I remember correctly, is currently only available on PCSX-R and Beetle (fork of Mednafen's PS core), and those two aren't available on smartphones yet OR they're running badly even on top SoCs. So it's best to play emulated PSOne's FF VIII on actual PC with emulator that's able to use PGXP.

What makes the original PC 2000 version different to the Steam 2013?

And, just so we're clear, GOG is the 2000 version, right?

...GOG doesn't have FF VIII. In any form.

Gotcha. Does it need any patching for Windows 10? Also which mods should I get besides replacing music with the PSX one?

>which mods should I get

For example. There's a fucking lot on that forum and others.

Thanks, that forum has a lot of stuff.
Does this also apply to FFVII PC? Is the original better than the Steam version?

>that sounds weirdly desperate just for a re-release. Is something else going on?
My pet theory is that SQE is having money troubles and betting everything on ff7r the remasters is them desperately grubbing for cash.

FF VII's HD remaster is vastly superior and is essentially the ONLY HD remaster which SquE didn't fuck-up badly, though it's slightly worse on PC and Shitch than it is on PS 4, so it's best to be played on PS 4. It's the definitive version to use/play on PC nowadays, though, and with quality mods applied it can look/play just as good as PS 4's release and even better (Gigapixel/ESRGAN AI upscale is not available on PS 4, after all, while PC has full availability of it).
