This is how people experience FFX for the first time.
It bothers me.

This is how people experience FFX for the first time.

I installed the stupid mod and I have no idea if it's working or not
don't care

>>725214828 (OP)
It's still baffling how they fucked it up that much
Like how does it even happen, outsourcing the modeling?

>>725215314
some Chinese studio made it and it's a Vita port

There's a mod that fixes the faces now. It's fine.

>>725214828 (OP)
I count myself lucky I was able to afford a 32" CRT television and fat PS2 back in 2005.

>>725215493
But it still doesn't look like it did originally and most people won't even mod it, either because they don't know better, play on console or are too lazy.
Because of Square, my favorite traditional JRPG has its first experience stained for millions of people.

>>725215656
It's close enough that i consider it good enough

yes that is messed up

>>725214876
There's no novel. It was just collective hallucination

>>725215538
This is terrible

>he's the villain so let's give him an angry face
Every time

>>725216684
does this work the other way around too? using a PS2 save on the steam version?

>>725214876
reminder a X-3 scenario already exists and will be made and will follow up the novel

>>725216489
I thought ps2 was the remake holy hell

>>725216883
Yeah, iirc there's a tool that converts both saves

I guess that's reason to hold onto your epic ps2 copy

i don't get it...... the remaster obviously looks better?

>>725216489
the power of outsourcing

>>725217163
which one is the remaster?

>>725214828 (OP)
>It bothers me.
that's just aesthetic. TZA ruined FF XII way more.

>>725217427
which of the 3 XII versions is best
i skipped it as a kid and never ended up getting to it. i have TZA ready to play but i know nothing about XII other than that a japanese exclusive version also exists

>>725217427
let's see the XII comparisons

>>725217732
same energy

This is pretty egregious

I own the remaster on PS3 and PC and have played it for maybe 1 hour total. I've played the PS2 version for 1000+ hours, but 20 years ago. I still feel fatigue when I look at this game today. Even the demaster.

Grow the fuck up dude.

ohnonono look at the top of his head kek

>>725214828 (OP)
I thought first image was the remaster until I took a look at the ground textures. Jesus fuck, what did they do the character models in the remaster?

>>725214828 (OP)
>it bothers me
Don't worry anon, the same shitty english voice acting along with the terribly long 2-3 hour gameplay tutorial/story exposition up to Luca kills off any newcomers desire to play the game.

>>725218842
left one looks too potato head as if she has fetal alcohol syndrome. One on the right matches her concept art and CGI version more

>>725215656
I really hope you aren't comparing the remaster with an emulator running it at 8x native resolution plus a hundred other enhancements.

>>725221736
the point is that they ruined the models and lost facial expressions among other graphical fuck ups
i just saved the pics from other people and no longer have my PS2 unfortunately so emulation it is
it looks good on ps2 and emu but bad in the remaster. the problem is that it is sold to people as an improvement and it's the only version that is easily available on modern consoles/steam

>>725221660
the left one is showing emotion, the right one is unable to like botched plastic surgery

So, I remember when the PS2 came out, one of the talking points was the on-chip "emotion engine" that could be used for facial gestures, but it's kinda funny because then you have examples like:
>>725215538
where they either forgot to turn it on, or just didn't apply it correctly. That's one reason some of these early PS2 games have that thing going on.

the remastered version looks awful too, of course. I'd like a demastered retro 8-bit/16-bit version

>>725222429
this is the remaster, they didn't forget to turn it on, it's just completly scuffed because of the chink model swaps. modders can replace the models but weren't able to fix the facial expressions.

>>725215101
It may have unfucked the faces somewhat but the animations are still broken and the environments look like shit.
You're better off emulating.
If only someone made a fucking widescreen HUD texture for PCSX2 it'd be perfect but no.

bump

If I showed this to the average person without the notes, they would refuse to believe the right one is the PS2 one.

>>725217163
>>725221453
You would never guess which one is the "remake".

he can't catch a break

>>725217163
Yuna's HD face is objectively better

You are straight up retarded and probably autistic.

he's so handsome in the original, no homo
