Now that the remake has been confirmed garbage, what are some good mods for FFVIII to make it look truly HD? Any news on them importing the (good) HD models from the remake?

Not possible.

You can get the ps1 emu with original ps1 game mod
Or the mod where you end your life
Zachary Bell
Just play the original. PSX or orignal PC release (without mods, as all the mods look retarded).
Anthony Thompson
The best you can do is play on a small screen like a PSP
Tyler Clark
Best main character in the series.
Jeremiah Mitchell
This is unironically good advice.

Perhaps in the future there will be some mod for the PC version that has AI upscaled all the backgrounds. *
* (which is actually a massive pain to do - doing a few backgrounds is easy, but there's lots of them, and each require their own specific upscaling settings to look as good as possible -- if you use the same settings for all backgrounds then most will look bad -- and each background has layered effects like lights and door animations and such which also needs to be upscaled, so doing it all would be a huge project)
(also; AI upscaling is still in its infancy, it will improve in the future)

Copypasta of a summary some user wrote:
- All backgrounds are blurred with a heavy gaussian blur filter
- FMVs only have smoothing filter, no additional work done.
- 3D elements mapping (world map etc) gets no treatment, only some texture filtering.
- The gap in models and backgrounds is more obvious compared to FFVII remaster
- All console versions are running a de compiled version of the original PC version.
- No analog controls. Only 8 directional control. PS1 original had full 360* control.
- No rumble present either.
- Performance: Original PS1: 30 FPS in world, 15 FPS in battles w/ 60 FPS menus (for limit breaks)
- Remaster: World = 30 FPS, battles = 16 FPS but menus also update at 16 FPS now which makes it difficult to do limit breaks and causes input delays.
- Overall performance is *worse* than PS1 because of the above
The remaster uses MIDI quality music: steamcommunity.com

Play the original PSX version emulated with a CRT filter
It looks great

I wasn't expecting it to be that bad. And I came pretty close to buying it on the Switch the other day.
Kevin Myers
This a joke? There's a couple year old PC port that was made alongside the FF7 PC port. That has graphical mods.
Levi Johnson
Alexander Thompson
Yes, those character model mods for FF8 are a joke.
Angel Long
Not only is AI upscaling gonna have some difficulties, but what the fuck do you even do about all the low-res background characters?
Christopher Brown
Just play it in the original resolution you fucking pleb
Caleb Baker
I just beat the remaster and it was fine.
There was one instance where it did use MIdi music - the attack of Balamb by Galbadia Garden but there weren't any others.

The actual power of procedural generation/AI shit is using it with human guidance. So you can generate the same background with 100 different settings and a human can pick out the one that looks best or mix the best parts together. That's the true power of AI. AI does the work, humans pick out the good shit.

I recently replayed ff8 using the mods listed here
steamcommunity.com
and these AI upscaled backgrounds
nexusmods.com
It was a fun novelty at first but I prefer the way it looks on a PSX & CRT to be honest

I never appreciated Selphie's sexiness and super short dress as a kid.
Replaying FF8 was a treat.

More effort put into this than the "remaster," SAD!
Cameron Lopez
Why doesn't Square respect its own legacy
Jordan Cox
It was the same for me, it was really jarring, but it was the only instance of that happening
Jack Harris
Interesting. I wonder why only that part was midi. Not like it was the first time they played that song.
Benjamin Anderson
That's like saying "Why didn't the Soviet Union respect Russian culture"...
David Taylor
Ayden Johnson
Well, why didn't they?
Leo Sanchez
This is funny. I'm a mix of both but mainly the right side. Especially them limit breaks.
Aura + Meltdown + Haste = 9999999999999999999999999999

Because they were ethnic jews.
Jose Carter
¿So Square was run by Jews before the merger ?_
