how is this acceptable
Its a port retard
Not a remake
Backgrounds are pre-rendered so unless they want to re-render/redraw every single background from scratch that's the way it has to be.

Reminds me of when I emulated Baiten Kaitos.
Holy fuck was it a pain in the ass to figure out what was a pathway and what wasn't
That actually bothers my eyes
>>334538449
That looks like ass, would rather have the whole game be low res
>>334538449
>IOS ver. instead of PSX
>>334539204
that model looks so good too. it sucks they fucked this up. I was going to buy it but nope, not anymore.
>>334539204
Why is Freya the best?
I'd rather play a blurry upscale of ps1 version, at least the characters wouldn't feel out of place
>>334539295
Fucked what up? The backgrounds? It's the exact same if you emulate it, in fact it's worse since they touched up the backgrounds a little for the PC version.
>>334538642
The backgrounds were originally in higher resolution but Square being Square they lost the files for a lot of them.
>>334538449
Somehow that's not as bad as I thought it was gonna be. No jpeg artifacts at least. Looks kinda... drawn, now? Crayon-ish
i'd need more shots of other BGs to be sure if i like it
>>334539884
>lost
they literally deleted them thinking it wouldn't be needed again
ports and remasters weren't really a thing back then, heck you didn't even need to do patches either since consoles had no internet
release game, get money, then forget about it
>>334539295
What'd they fuck up?
>>334538904
>>334540042
Yep. It's amazing that apparently some of the artwork, and the FMVs are still preserved though.
Where's the PC screencap of cancer?
>>334538449
Okay, now put up a pic of the original version.
>>334540042
Yep, that's something that freaks me the fuck out. So much of original game code and assets is just gone forever because memory used to be expensive and nobody wanted to pay to keep that stuff around.
I'm actually surprised they were still doing that as late as FFIX's release.
>>334540539
>>334540643
They were still doing that, even with FFX and Kingdom Hearts
>>334540643
>I'm actually surprised they were still doing that as late as FFIX's release.
Yeah this is what bothers me.
I totally understand it with earlier titles but it shouldn't have been an issue by early 6th gen. It took Square forever to start holding onto their code.
I don't get why they thought so short term.
>>334540853
>upscaled
>>334541206
looks pretty good at native res as you'd expect
be nice on a handheld
>>334541206
It was the best I was able to find on google. Thanks for posting the proper resolution.
It's also worth nothing that it would be played on a CRT which blurred the differences between the 3D models and pre-rendered backgrounds further. The game looks legitimately good on the proper hardware.
It just looks terrible upscaled and at higher resolutions since the assets start to clash.
>>334540853
>640x480
>>334541206
>320x240
Idiots. Of course it looks good at the tiny ass original resolution. When you have to blow it up to 1080p for modern screens it's going to look like ass no matter what.
>>334541565
and if you won't rework it for those screens (despite having lost original data), I kinda wonder what was the point to do it in the first place
enjoy your blown up shit upscale I guess
>>334540201
>Not the superior version
>>334539204
freya
always thought it was a male
ps1 graphics where so bad i thought that red hat was its face
seeing all these years later its a fucking canine(dog)
never used freya since he never did any good damage
>>334542863
She's a rat
>>334538904
The only thing I'm interested in is how Garnet's ass looks on her new model.
>>334538449
how young are you OP?
did you forget how FF games were?
>>334539204
This is the first time I've ever seen Freya's face. I just thought she was ugly.
>>334543567
And now you know that's true.
>>334543935
Yeah but she's a fucking rat or something. I thought she was an ugly human.
Were the FMVs probably wide-screened or just vertically cropped shit?
>>334538449
FF9 have 10,000 backgrounds and people are lazy for redraw. Who care?really most people dont buy this ports outside of piratebay or watched Lets Plays
>>334538449
bird tits
>>334544445
They had no problem redrawing all of the assets for other FF games. You wouldn't even need to CG render the FF9 backgrounds. Simply repainting them would be enough and match the character models.
