Wow, the last holdout from the PSone era. I don't have a PC, but it's good that more people can play. I'm more hopeful now that we'll get more Final Fantasy releases for the PS4, like the recent FFVII release.

Probably the best possible outcome. They're good but not good enough to completely clash against the backgrounds.

Is that an official art screen shot because whatever filter they used completely killed the nice texturing the original art had on the airship.
 
Is that the onlymod available? FF8 is one game that I feel in dire need of a remake @_@

Like with other FFs, there's also difficulty and rebalancing mods for it. One called Requiem that adds a ridiculous amount of difficulty to the game, with the final boss taking hours to beat. I believe that's for the emulated PS1 version, though, not the Steam version. The Steam version includes similar bells and whistles to VII: booster packs and the ability to fast forward some scenes.

Well what do you expect them to do if they don't have the original assets anymore? It's still a bummer though.
 
Wow, it looks amazing with the HD update. I really REALLY hope a PS4 version follows soon. Day One.

I really want to play Chocobo Hot and Cold again, it's my favourite mini-game
 
It's a New Years miracle.
God is real, I'm not an atheist anymore.

Youtube screencap, going by the barely visible time bar below and the channel icon. The Famitsu pics are 4:3 so it'll probably look better in-game.

Yeah, upressing low-res background art for HD resolution would look horrible, and pretty hard to do.
I doubt the game will support anymore higher resolution than 1080p on PC because of that.
 
Super worried they're not going to update the animations to run smoothly in battle. It doesn't look like they adjusted them at all. :/

EDIT: Also hope they don't entirely fuck up the UI for the PC version. Please god don't pull another FFVI and just smash the Android port into an exe...

I expect them to hand redraw everything lovingly in HD down to the every blemish in the original art... Nah but it's a case where you could hand tune the filters to each background and save the new assets vs having a single filter that looks good someplace but bad others . That doesn't mean everything would look great just the best possible it could.
 
I wish I could be more excited but I still can't get over the look of the game to give it a chance.

I'm normally okay with chibi-ish designs but these these bother me.
 
Oh hell yes. Possibly my second favorite FF. Plus no slow down on PC (although emulation helps with that) plus iOS. May have to get iOS AND PC versions depending on availability and pricing.

I was the same way but when you actually play it you get used to it after a few hours.
 
...and a bunch of us were lamenting in a thread a few weeks ago how all was lost for FFIX, that there was no hope. There is always hope!
 
Need some Melodies of Life here...

"In my dearest memories, I see you reaching out to me.
Though you're gone, I still believe that you can call out my name.

A voice from the past, joining yours and mine.
Adding up the layers of harmony.
And so it goes, on and on.
Melodies of life,
To the sky beyond the flying birds - forever and beyond..."

Quina is also best waifu... because Quina is Vivi's waifu.
 
My favorite PSX Final Fantasy, dope.

They burned through all the PS1 era mainline, time for the one offs like Tactics, Chocobo Dungeon, Vagrant Story, Threads of Fate, etc I can't wait
for the ports to never happen.
 
Yoooo speed up?!? I can actually play it proper now! Can't believe they thought The original release was fast enough. One of the slowest RPGs out there.
