FF7.

[@Finnishmanni]

The older background looks more rounded. 1:02 compare those two for example. The game is made to be seen with pixelated graphics. They should have remodeled those too.

[@ThePgs5]

Some programs like Topaz's Gigapixel AI would have really helped remastered textures and cutscenes shame they didn't use it.

[@JasonCapistranoBarrera]

Hi Topaz can support in latest iPad apple model?

[@BleedForTheWorld]

1:02, the remaster doesn't even have that white texture on the road and the mountains in the distance look like garbage. This is not how it was supposed to look. Why even call this trash a remaster?

i don't know if anyone else agrees but i love the way ps1 games look and would rather play the original :)

[@hippocrates72]

yes, and on a CRT or with CRT emulation at least...

[@mytube9182]

Only the 3D models are fully remastered. The movies are fairly upscaled. But all the scene backgrounds are just merely upsampled and got blurred which are worse than untouched, very disappointing for this part.

[@RyadMax]

Remaster or edit in Nvidia Control Pannel?

[@tysonasaurus6392]

I think overall I like it more just because of the clarity with higher resolutions but the less crisp backgrounds, the ugly UI, the characters looking out of place with the environment because of the lighting, and certain changes that feel like a deviation from the artistic intent, it certainly could have been much much better

[@GaigeTheMechromance1]

I played the remastered version on PS Emulator, was fun : 3

[@SebasTian58323]

My only real complaint is that they didn't really remaster the backgrounds/world map I think everything else looks pretty good compared to the original, and there are mods to make it look even better if I want it to

[@yasarumit]

This clearly shows that this game did not need a remaster but it needs a remake !!

[@Shiro92224]

There is nothing wrong wrong it, cant people be bloody happy anymore.

[@robertspikes6784]

First time I ever played final fantasy it was ff7. Before playing, I was like what is this nerdy crap. I played it and got hooked on ff ever since.

[@jrolon5293]

I wonder if they're ever going to make a remaster of Final Fantasy 8

[@Bryan102ification]

They only changed the models and forgot about changing the background. Its all pixelated o_o

[@wolker213]

Its identical to modded version on pc.... And still less than 30 fps, what a joke.

[@BleedForTheWorld]

The FPS in this one is actually worse overall. The original had the battle menus at 60 fps and this one does not. Trash.

[@BleedForTheWorld]

@@Coldsilfur4 it wouldn't mess up the battle speed. Both the battle speed and the battle menu speed would be a fluid 60 fps minimum.

[@shadowmomochiuchiha6839]

What I don't like the remaster is that it has built in cheats you can't get rid of.

[@ivancerecer5758]

Tried the Remaster after beating FF7, but the combat frame rates are ruining it for me (especially since i have to time the RB/R1 for damage boost)

[@araxnoyfantos]

It seems to me almost or same as when i put the ps1 game in pc emulator with max resolution

[@flying372]

I hope there will be a graphic mod like ff9 mogury hd soon

Why does Squall look younger in the remaster? :(

[@cabskchiho3918]

hmmm. why not the 2013 version ? there it is possible to play at 4k ! and than we can see the difference !

[@Gaming_auf_Ex]

PC FF vs Playstation 1 FF?

[@fskymod7120]

They put a sort of blur on the texture for the environment that give the feeling it's less detailed than the pixelized one of the original version. The charcters and the monsters are better, even the cinematics, but for the rest it feel a bit like lazy remaster.

[@kodemasterx]

This remaster is trash, but hopefully MODs can fix what Square didn't as usual

[@mekannatarry1929]

You don't have a pc? If so it's already been done.

[@HelloItsMikkan]

Still not bad seeing they *do not have the source code in their archives*

[@Atomixi]

The models look decent but the WORLD looks less detailed. 1:02 for example looks BAD on the right compared to the original. Wow.

[@Atomixi]

@RAYHAN REHEMA PUTRA Bro, you can see the individual texture tiles in the new version lmao. Also, look at the road 😬

[@Cooperal]

The only positive to draw from this is that Square have not fully forgotten FF8. But it's far too little and far too late. The fact that I can already up the resolution or mod in different models (or emulate the PS1 version) is one thing. The fact that Squall's entire face and hair have been reimagined makes me want it even less. The game is old enough that viewing it in a larger resolution won't make it any easier on the eyes. I really didn't think it was beyond them to give the battlefields and overworld a polygonal facelift.

[@eadghe]

I'm just here, because someone said that they got rid of Squalls puffy pants in the remake. Okay, that's true. On another side note, back then, I played the official PC version, which seem to have better graphics. I always thought the PSX version had advantages graphicwise, but I guess I thought wrong (in my imagination).

[@thejackniles9006]

Looks like the just smoothed a few edges and called it a day.

[@wimpieyuwono2550]

Even the damage of diamond dust is different too 🤭

[@DarkRodFR]

Remastered will be reremastered ?

[@MinhLe19303]

I do have to question why they didn't remaster VII the similar way they did with VIII.

[@NickWride]

If it had an unlocked frame rate I would have bought it in a heartbeat.

[@KainArkanos]

Good for you, I'll bet you think that increasing the framerate doesn't just speed up the game.

[@YoutubeIsAwesome]

If you play the original one on PC (Steam Version) with the 4k texture resolution pack and 30 FPS battles mod, the original Flac quality music mod and Ragnarock Gameplay mod (balances the game a lot while making enemies more comptetent but still fair), you get the perfect remaster already... for FREE, you just need some sleight-of-hand to set it up. You get the PS1 version ISO? No prob, retroarch will FIX the graphic PS1 bugs (polygon dithering and shaking), you can play it up to 8k if you want and and there are lot of good gameplay mods to make the game more balanced or balanced AND hardtype. Also FUCK SONY for forcing Square to censor Siren and Rinoa,WTF, Siren is like my favourite summon ever she looked beautiful in the original she looks like a SKANK in the remaster too.

[@SubfeedSub]

They pretty much just upped the resolution xD

[@toceeno874]

That's why it's called a remaster

Not gonna lie Cid in the original version always looked like Robin Williams lol.

I can deal with the graphics, bit no vibration feedback on ps4???? Really???? FF8 summons are not the same without vibration feedback. And now R1 trigger feels unsatisfying. 😭

[@bes5164]

They put a 1% effort to improve the backgrounds. They changed Squall? Could Square explain it? Why? Really bad this is....

The FMVs has barely any changes...

[@sagittarianwolf8513]

so basically they remaster this version to visually like N64

This version is not worth it, you will have better character models but the backgrounds will still be blurry The best way to play it would be on a small screen like the switch or S deck, so the bg doesn't end looking as blurry as on a big tv or monitor
