There are people who bought this garbage for no reason other than because it was only on PS3 and PS4 for a while.
its like his face is now made of wood
WHEN YOU WALK AWAY
>>337519729
Square is chicks
The face is so bad I dont understand how they messed it up so badly.
Yuna suffered too. Its so strange you cant trust Square with anything.
FF7 Remake is fucking doomed
>>337519729
Why do you post this every day?
What the actual fuck.
I was considering grabbing a torrent of the Steam HD port but if it's this shit then I'll just emulate the PS2 version.
>>337520372
Wrong game, Anon.
Kingdom Hearts is down the street.
>>337520412
Because a lot of people are buying FFX HD now and they deserve to know about Square's hackness
>>337520378
I don't think the FFVII remake is being outsourced to animals that defecate in public transportation.
>>337521052
It is. Haven't you seen the character models?
>>337521186
That doesn't look like the FFVII remake to me.
>>337521186
Jesus christ he's horrifying.
>>337521253
Yeah but it's on-topic.
>>337521380
>>337521612
It's like an evil lifeless cyborg replaced tidus. It doesn't help that this water based sports star is so fucking pale.
>>337519729
I'm not really a FF person but I don't see why anyone is complaining. I mean it looks better in every way, besides the text which they decided to turn into some bolder more outlined shit.
>>337522302
The top is PS2, the bottom is PC.
>>337522302
Should you be working so late? What a shit job.
>His tone is more white
>Somehow a bad thing
>>337519729
The remaster is a complete insult to the effort of the original artists. I can't believe they thought this was worthy of being released. It's even worse when I think of how the remaster is the way many people will play and remember FFX going forward.
>>337522451
>The top is PS2, the bottom is PC
Well fuck me then.
>>337522808
I figured you made a mistake there. Thank me later bro.
Isn't it fucked?
>>337522748
The PS4 version was so fucking broken they eliminated random encounters. You'd always encounter x enemy in y location, making grinding for materials impossible. I don't know how many months it took to fix, if they ever did, and wouldn't be surprised if the PC version suffers from it too.
Oh, and the music wouldn't loop properly either.
>>337519729
Destop thread?
so do the PS3, PS4, and PC remakes all suffer from this?
>>337522979
The way I worded this made it seem like it was a design decision to eliminate the randomness. It wasn't. It was a programming bug that no journos picked up on when giving it its 9/10 Dew It recommendations.
>>337519729
why are you just now complaining about this, didn't this remake come out years ago?
>>337523079
It's now on Steam
>>337523036
Those are all the same version.
>>337523036
Yes.
>>337519729
that can't be real
>>337523207
>>337523212
well damn
so the least ugly way to play FFX (and X-2 i suppose) is PCSX2 then?
i cannot honestly tell which of these screenshots is new and which is old?
how are you supposed to be able to tell? the level of graphical fidelity is exactly the same..why was anything changed?
Hows the Wii U version?
>>337523419
The one that looks good is the PS2 version emulated at a decent resolution.
>>337519729
There's no way this is real, Otherwise I must've been blind as fuck when playing the HD version
>>337523523
neither one of them looks good...ffx is an awful game with awful designs and awful art direction
At least the remaster has faithfully recreatedcroppedpre-rendered backgrounds. Beats stretching the 480p ones to 4k with shit texture filtering through emulation.
>>337523628
HOLY FUCK WHAT IS THIS IS THIS REAL DELETE THIS

I didnt even know there was a wii u version but i'm sure it's the same shit.
>>337523390
I'd say so.
>>337523565
It's real.
>>337524083
>no way to use the PS2 character models with the remade backgrounds
>>337524091
Reminder that the remaster is superior in every other way but cutscene models.
>>337522701
its just a dead body. not something you expect.
>>337524198
This unironically looks worse, who did they hire for this? Did they fucking use an unsharp mask to 'HD' the textures? Jesus fuck
>>337524296
You're unironically retarded.
>>337524083
Wait, I don't get it. In this particular one, the new face looks fine/better.
>>337524296
They're entirely different textures. Note how the geometry is also higher poly than the original. Unsharpen mask is one of the post-processing effects enabled by default in the PC version.
Tidus is a badly written character, no amount of HD re-design is going to fix that.
>>337524196
>backgrounds fucked up most of the time
>lighting is worse

No tears here.

If you mean the original artists, then I don't think that's the case since the originals didn't do the remaster.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxeZC_Q4hmU
Look at the difference in Yuna's expression between the two versions. The original has Yuna's face showing emotion appropriate to the scene, whereas the remaster just made her mouth move while having a completely blank expression. No effort at all. No way the original artists could be satisfied with this.
>>337520494
That looks so bad, Jesus christ why?
Is this different than the remaster that came out for PS3/4?
>>337519729
why does the new one look like a gook girl who gets plastic surgery. and yet it doesnt look like a girl or a trans either. its just creepy and some uncanny valley shit.

People only mod games because they care about them. PC'ucks modded Valkyria Chronicles because DUDE ANIME LMAO and DUDE 20 BUCKS LMAO.
No, I'm not being a console warrior when I use that term. A PC'uck is someone who eats up shitty Japanese ports like these instead of telling them to fuck off. A PC'uck is someone who defends the abysmal Japanese practice of shoddily porting games to PC decades after the games were relevant, when it is made as clear as day that the Japanese do not care for them as a consumer. Unfortunately, they make up the majority of PC gamers these days.
>>337525412
That's how long it took me to beat the game as a kid. Damn I'm shit at RPGs.
>>337525469
>PC'ucks modded Valkyria Chronicles because DUDE ANIME LMAO and DUDE 20 BUCKS LMAO.
Wait wtf
The vanilla game was fucking good though.

Git gud. You can Zanmato that nigger in 30 hours.
>>337525469
You're retarded.
>>337525395
I hope they don't fuck up the eventual porting of FFXV. Then again, I'm assuming they haven't fucked up the console game to begin with.
>>337525469
stop being a fucking autist
>>337525570
There's some rebalancing mods, and of course, there's some kind of panty mod.
>>337525570
They rebalanced it(making it harder and more fun), added texture replacements(panties), added shaders to make it look better, and changed some effects(remove the border, crosshatch, etc).
If you can improve a game, why not?
Not a fan of how pale he is now. He should be pretty tan if he's out swimming all day, right?
>>337525869
Please point me in the general of this "panty mod" of which you speak, if you would.
Purely for research purposes, of course!
>>337525930
But the game by itself is already good. No rebalancing mod will make it better.
>>337525395
the face on the bottom gives me a ps1 vibe.
>>337525973
Not him but it was just a simple texture replacement and I don't even remember if we hosted it anywhere.
>>337526107
I haven't tried it but it's possible. Removing scout rushing and making it harder to get S ranks would improve the game for those looking for a challenge. You could also simply scale damage up to change the game's pacing.
>>337525570
PC cuckolds love breaking games to cheat.

>gay barafag
instantly reported
>>337524460
It does, I agree.
The true horror isn't actually how the faces look, it's that the faces are all immovable death masks. Everyone acts like they've been pumped full of botox and all the emotion is gone, completely gone. To be clear, I'm not saying it was toned down, I'm saying its entirely absent in the new version.
You thought HA HA HA HA was bad the first time? Try it from people who look like they're necron flayers wearing human skin.
>>337519729
You idiots are going to keep posting these screenshots even though they don't even exist in the final product, aren't you?
>>337527971
>>337527697
Because someone decided to mod it and the format is well known.
>>337519729
You can play the new HD remaster with the old models on... right?
>>337528105
you're mum is an old model
>>337528105
I think the closest to that is emulating it with x4 native resolution and just pretending.

More FF Sales on PC means maybe square will get the hint and don't do shit like realeasing it only for PS in the first place.
FF XV looks really interesting to me, especially since there just aren't any comparable games on the market now, but FFXV and Ratchet aren't enough for me to warrant buying a soon obsolete console.

There are incredibly obvious context clues within all of the comparison picture that even the most basic efforts of observation would provide you an answer. You are beneath contempt. You should never be invested with a single responsibility, no matter how meagre. I suspect even in reading this short paragraph you have skipped quite a few words because the effort caused sweat to bead and your hands to palpate. Do you have no spare time between your many terrible posts to work it out for yourself? Are you so consumed with the profitable and worthy labour of being such a colossal moron that you cannot spare a moment to ponder something on your own and come to a conclusion without being guided to the pitiful morsel on the spoon and feeling your dignity pass between the gap in your lips as it makes its way inside? Have you no shame?
>>337528878

>>337528779

>>337528803
Japanese programming is fucked beyond comprehension, to say nothing of their usual "port games to PC a decade after consoles had it" while the rest of the thriving (read: western) market puts PC versions out as soon as the console versions. Rising had this magical programming error that prevented it from playing at anything besides five pre-set resolutions for the longest time. Durante had a fix hacked up, but he was like "lol nnnnaaaaahhhhh Platinum will fix it guise :)" and just kept it to himself. Then again, crying about and defending poor Japanese console ports for PCGamer is probably some nice money to be made there. It's a shame that modders are either obsessed with Bethesda games, or only do mods to gain quick notoriety and coast off their sole effort for the rest of their existence.
>>337529364
>Platinum will fix it guise
Some other modder released it you spastic fuck. Nobody gives a fuck about modding FF, for good reason.
Mod when?
>>337519729
They actually fucked the textures in the backgrounds too. Holy shit, why does every HD upscale always have shitty textures? Even MGS HD had them.

Are they going to do this re-master thing with X-2? That was the best FF game I've ever played. Gameplay was great and I loved the characters YRP in position bruvs!
>>337520202
You can't emulate FFX-2 International in english so there's that
And it is actually worth it considerig it's the Final Mix/International/whatever version with the biggest amount of extra content
>>337531003
There's a patch though.
>>337530412
What is Monster Hunter Online?
>>337530957
Whoops, don't know how I forgot that.
The face models in X-2 Remaster don't seem to suffer from the bullshit X did.
That being said, the fucking FMVs are still cropped aren't they...?
>>337530345
gook'd
>>337531267

>>337520202
I already played X. Now I want to play the Remaster. I don't mind the model changes. I find that overall its an improvement. Feel free to disagree. I paid for a product I like. Having more music options is cool and I like the newer UI better too. Plus I like legitimate ports instead of emulation, which by the way PCSX2 is a shitty emulator and PS2 emulation is currently shit. Let me know when PCSX2 is as good as PPSSPP or Dolphin.

Yes they are.
>>337531092
Which is nowhere near complete.
It doesn't translate anything story, no Last Mission content as far as I'm aware, creature endings (many of which are very good and range from depressing to funny/cute)
Now that it's been released for pc there no reason not to pirate for the HD remaster though.
Not a single reason to play X again since the Internation content is pretty shitty, basically just muh dark aeons. Could have emulated the PAL or jap version before anyways.
>>337520282
>There are people who bought this garbage for no reason other than because it was only on PS3 and PS4 for a while.
What?
>>337530670
Confirmed for not playing the game before
>>337531359
pcsx2 plays more good games than both of those other emulators combined so it's a better emulator.
>>337531676You're right. I never got around to playing FFX because I got it used and it crashed. Is it worth playing?
>>337531591
But they look mostly the same
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcrZodHJP6w&t=5m48s
as if they bothered to use the correct models for the appropriate situations this time.
Fucking shame about the cropping though, that might be a deal breaker.
>>337531776
If you like jrpgs I don't see why it's not worth at least a pirate of the HD now
I'd much rather play X-2 for the gameplay provided you aren't antifun and only like serious stories and shit
>>337525395
>the ps2 version looks better
I would love to take this opportunity to laugh at sonyggers but this genuinely hurts. I was hoping to get a sonyggerstation so I could play it again and the new ratchet and clank game but fuck that, they clearly don't give a shit. Can we do a petition to get them to recall it and remaster it again?
>>337531831
>mostly
They're almost completely different, at least look past the first 2 seconds of the game.
>there is an alternate dimension somewhere where I never went to /v/, saw the steam version coming out, saw it as a good opportunity to finally play FFX and enjoyed the game without ever noticing the fucked up faces

At the same time though, if your PC can't handle PS2 emulation what makes you think it'll handle this version fine?

Im going to play this game having only played FF1, FFIV, FFVI, and FFVII. Can I beat the game without grinding or doing dumb shit? I'm going in blind.
SE is incompetent. Just look at how they managed FFXV.
>>337532778
>Don't let /v/ ruin your good time.
It's not even really /v/'s fault, I'm just really autistic when it comes to stupid little details like these. I'm the first to admit that shit barely even matters but I can't control it. I will probably play it at some point but I already know it's going to bug the shit out of me.
>At the same time though, if your PC can't handle PS2 emulation what makes you think it'll handle this version fine?
I can't play really recent games but it could handle Revengeance just fine, I don't really think an HD remaster will be a huge issue. Unless it's really demanding some whatever reason, in which case I'm fucked. I already emulated some PS2 games (never above native resolution though), some of them were fine but my toaster couldn't take some others. For example Dark Cloud shat itself as soon as I opened some of the menus, there wasn't much I could do about it.
>>337533404
>Can I beat the game without grinding or doing dumb shit?
gee anon, it sounds like you never played a final fantasy game before.
>>337533639
But I didn't have to grind in FF6 or FF7. Meeting enemies along the way while exploring gave me enough experience to make it through.
>>337533815
off the top of my head, there are only 3 things that you might need to grind for if you just want to play the story, assuming that you get luck and take the right steps to not have it.
>>337529364
>Japanese programming
Oh, please. The only difference between West and JP in this regard is that Westerners license engines that have this shit already done for them. There are tons of games, released by Western devs, without simple shit like proper resolution support, or a 30FPS lock, or no graphical settings. The only difference is that they licensed Unreal Engine to let them do even less work and the result is that all that shit can be changed in the INI file.

I mean the fact of the matter is it does more closely match the FMVs, and the FMV's could afford to have more detailed models, so it makes more sense that the FMVs and now the new models would match the original vision.
I haven't seen concept art for the characters though so it's possible i'm wrong.
>>337536793
Yeah it's certainly possible that the remaster artists were told to make the characters look more like the FMVs and/or the concept art, but I maintain that the execution of the change was not satisfactory.
Expert or Standard sphere grid?
>>337536612
WHY?
>>337536793
The problem is that they look creepy and they aren't animated even a quarter as well as the originals.
You are wrong too, concepts were executed very well in the PS2 version and the remaster just ruined it.

Square just took the lowest bidder's offer and let them have it. And made millions. They clearly didn't care or they would have gone the KH route of doing it in-house.
lol new tidus is so unnatural uncanny valley shit. Looks like a fat asian android with fake blue eyes and hair.

Is there any way to play all the extra content in english? European iso maybe?
>>337530203
>He was supposed to be white though,
Citation needed. It thought while playing the game he was supposed to look okinawan.
Waiting for a Lost Odyssey port now

What I want to know is why can they breathe underwater?
>>337539457

Mobius FF?

I think that's what the glaucoma patients who redesigned her believed, yeah.

>One of your biggest games
FFX is shit anyway why do you even care?
>>337540469
>>337530957
AAAHHHHHHH
>>337520202
Exactly. I played all of FFX emulated and it was perfect emulation, I noticed no issues at all once I got the settings right. 10/10 experience technically.
>>337531003
>the Final Mix/International/whatever version with the biggest amount of extra content
Not worth it at all honestly, definitely should emulate the first time you try FFX. Some of the "extra content" includes giving a boss ten times as much health and other padded nonsense for nips to get grinding honor.
>>337542106
I can't get the menus and text to not be blurry or split up by jarring seams.
>>337543145
1. Disable the texture filtering
2. set up res as 4x native (if you have good GPU)
3. set up anti-aliasing

Top fucking kek
Now I have the hiccups.
>>337530273
Of course that looks fine, that's the PS2 version.
>>337521380
It's like his face is some kind of a fucking serial killer mask now!
>>337524551
The background isn't bad at all in this though, you just want to believe it's all bad because the cutscene models are fucked.
The cutscene models are by far the worst thing for sure and that's substantial as it's an RPG with lots of cinematic cutscenes but it's not as bad as you want it to be.
>>337524196
>no way to use the PS2 character models
Surely there must be a way.
