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

The 3d res has never been very problematic to increase, even before the recent rerelease. You could increase the res on the original game too, it just didn't make much of an impact to me, because the lack of detail in backgrounds always overshadowed it, at least for me. 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.
everything is wrapped in gray
i'm focusing on your image
can you hear me in the void?
That is Final Fantasy VIII, nothing to do with the modified version of Final Fantasy VII, which is the subject of this thread.Yes, it does. They made some additions to the character texture maps (mainly mouths) and greatly increased the rendering resolution of the polygon models, so they all look crisp when the game runs at 1080p. It's a huge improvement over the PSX version, even though nothing was technically remodeled.
They recently announced that they're doing the same thing for FFVIII, which I will probably also buy. There are screenshot previews available in every article about it. Compare it to the original; there's a big difference in the characters.

Okay, guy, everybody knows FFVIII PC was notorious for having worse graphics than the PSX version. Final Fantasy VIII - IGN
Jeesh, just because you were wrong about the graphical improvements of the new FFVII...You completely took his quote out of context, I believe what Sam was asking was whether the newly released edition on steam would automatically look like the pictures in my post/the link Aulayna posted in the original post, which means he was dead on when he said this:Mirage, this is what I was talking about. But anyway...
Which is where you to the no he wrote out of context.
Someone asked if the new version looked better, and he said no, you need to mod it. Wrong. End of story. Doesn't matter what his opinion of the upgrade is; it was upgraded, and that's what the person wanted to know.
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.
Accurately informing someone that the pics provided in the link from the original post is exactly what Mirage did. Followed up by posts of the modified game that I to provided always way accurately informing her that the steam version require modification to resemble them.
Had you been accurately informing her, you would have said the following: "The Steam version has had some minor upgrades, as details here <insert info>, 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.
EDIT: Or rather, that's what I meant.
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.
It's implied because of the thread it is posted in: about how you can give the game a completely different feel through mods.
Tbh I don't really think what he said was him being picky, as he said, he was mealy pointing out the first picture you linked looked a lot like the original FFVIII PC Version.
The second picture was (without a doubt) the original PSX version of the game.
