it's two different models. the model on the left was used for cutscenes and the model on the right was used for battles. the hd port uses the same model for both cutscenes and battles.

Why did Nintendo ditch making games visually beautiful after the Wii U? I was really impressed how games like Pikmin 3, 3D World, and MK8 looked like Pixar movie quality but Switch degraded everything to plastic iPad games. It's even less tolerable now considering the Switch 2 is meant to be a showcase of power but they still didn't bother.

Lol no retard, the difference in quality only becomes even more apparent if you bump the PS2 version up to HD.

PS2 FFX literally holds up in a direct comparison with today's best-looking games.

Here's the PS2 battle model, it's far less detailed than the HD one. Anyone who has actually played the game would know this. The HD models are made from scratch by some outsourced team that had no idea what they were doing.

You are parroting lies and garbage about a game you literally haven't played, for some unknown reason that can only be assumed to be due to sheeplike, retarded herd behaviour.

This one is frustrating because I genuinely think the art of the remake is wonderful.
It's just the original art is an 11/10 fucking masterpiece. Also the remake removed all the pantyhose and I can't forgive it for that.

But I don't like when people act like the remake art is -bad- just because it's worse.

why do people just spout inane bullshit they know nothing about? the left is indeed the ps2 cutscene model but the right is nothing like the ps2 in game model. the ps2 in game model is super low poly with a low res texture for a face and it still looks better than the demaster.

I think people who say "The remaster looks better" only look at the textures on the clothing. They completely ignore how GOD AWFUL the faces are. Probably because if you like the remaster you probably have aspergers or something as the faces are the most notable downgrade.

Left is objectively better for a multitude of reasons. Warm light has a much longer wavelength so it doesn't refract in rain or snow and cause massive amounts of glare when visibility is already poor. White light has been proven to fuck with humans and animals circadian rhythms, white light also causes more light pollution blocking out the night sky turning it into a bland foggy mess. Bring back the piss tinted lamps.

Worse is that game also removes contextual ambient exploration.
Like you could read how the many environments of the RPD were affected by the events taking place but you dont get shit in Remakes.

I can forgive the changes to the levels themselves, but the sky and lighting changes are terrible.

Reminds me of the soulless reactions in Persona 3 Reload.
They really murdered the art direction.

I've been wanting to replay it for ages but I can't bring myself to with the fucked up faces. I'm not sure if the mods even fix them like the other anon said the animations are probably fucked too. Unbelievable they thought this was ok to release, how do you not take the time to get the faces of your main cast right?

I can understand big changes made for 3D models and overall visual upgrade for most games, but 2D to 2D? Imagine being the original portrait artist and find out that you are considered "inferior" and your artstyle is "outdated". Lmao, that's very disrespectful if you ask me.

Who cares? FFX's character design and art style is garbage either way.

You know anime styles were already way too simple looking, but did they really had to use the most generic anime style that looks even more flat? What happen to all their noses? What happen to their jawline shadows?

The environment top looks more grounded with all the grunge texturing. The bottom is just too clean.

FFX was such a good looking game. How is it that a PS2 game has some of the most impressive character models ever created?
