Wow, Carl. That's actually fairly impressive, when you consider what the PSX version looked like.

In fact, the difference in resolution between 2d and 3d makes things look worse to me. Ff8 on pc has the same problem.
I always had the pre-rendered backgrounds in mind when I talked about improvements, sorry if I didn't make that clearer.
That is Final Fantasy VIII, nothing to do with the modified version of Final Fantasy VII, which is the subject of this thread.Quote:

It's a huge improvement over the PSX version, even though nothing was technically remodeled.Quote:

I used screenshots of FFVIII because I had just made them earlier and they showed the same exact type of improvement as you can see in the FFVII re-release.
Sorry for trying to accurately inform the person who asked the question.
Dude, you ARE wrong, Sam was asking if it looked the way it did IN THE ORIGINAL POST, which HAS been heavily modified, nothing to do with the minor changes from 1998 PC version to 2012 Steam version.Quote:

Had you been accurately informing her, you would have said the following: "The Steam version has had some minor upgrades, as details here, but to have the game look the way it does in the original post, you need to modify the game.
You were not the one to "accurately inform the person who asked the question." End of subject.
I wanted to know if the pictures Carl is posting is what the 2012 version looks like. Apparently not without mods.
FFS, guys. It's something silly to argue over. xD
Well, that's not what Tifa asked. "Does the new PC version look upgraded?" is not the same as "Are the above pictures how the game looks by default?" I answered the actual question, while the other guy answered a question that wasn't asked. My bad.
If he was right, I don't know why he was being picky in post #12 about what I posted. It seemed like he was mad that I contradicted him. If that's not the case, I apologize. But really, no need to stomp all over my FFVIII pics. Like I explained in my first post, they're relevant because that's exactly what they did to FFVII.
...I actually asked both questions.Quote:

Well, I'm glad you got the answer you were looking for. I wouldn't have gone so far out of my way to explain exactly how they upgraded the 2012 version if I knew what you meant to ask.Quote:
