> 2026> If i want to play original FF 7 it as to be in 4:3 with these hideous graphicsWhat.The.Fuck.How tf didn't the old one get a remaster already?!?!?!? isn't ti the most popular FF game???
video games are literally the only form of entertainment where some younger generation will complain it hasn't been remade and that they somehow can't enjoy it without it being modernized
new graphics don't look realistic either
I just played this on my PS3 and it looks great because it's not the remaster. It's nice and chunky.
>>737363441> Nooo brooo you need to enjoy those 5 polygons in a 4:3 image that makes 90% of your screen have black bars!Nigga i can even fucking walk outside of the camera this game is fucking shit, how tf didn't it get at least wide screen support it's fucking 2026
>>737363374It already got 3 (three) remasters.Two on PC and modern consoles,one on iOS mobile toys.Two of them look practically the same as the OG 1997 game, as they should.The last one has """modern""" graphics that are the epitome of soulless bloom + blur + piss filters.And if you are a graphix whore, I doubt you even enjoy good vidya.That being said, the PC port + ReMako mod + Ninostyle chibi mod is arguably the peak HD remaster available.
>>737363498get an OLED screen
>>737363537That chibi mod looks fucking horrible and it got ZERO official remasters.The mobile game "remaster" is literally just like 5 episodes of the base game in a fucking gacha that takes all the cutscenes from the remake.
>>737363498The backgrounds are pre-rendered JPEG images. They cannot be extended without recreating them from scratch, or by using AI sloppa to imagine what might be outside the available field of view. Which would make you toddlers seethe.Embrace the 4:3 SOUL, chill down, and immerse yourself in the vidya. Hopefully you got a good audio playback system, because the soundtrack and SFX and absolutely amazing and the most important part of the experience.
>>737363374>Not on CRT. Kek. Make your eyes bleed.
>>737363635> Immerse yourself with huge black bars on the sides of the screen.
>>737363374Square lost the source code for 7 and most of their games if not all
>>737363629>That chibi mod looks fucking horribleNo sonny Jim,it looks fucking BRILLIANT, and exactly how it should. And no, this ain't some nostalgic subjective take; you can literally go and Google the Squaresoft's original concept art drawings, and see that this is practically what they had in mind.>The mobile game "remaster" is literally just like 5 episodes of the base game in a fucking gacha that takes all the cutscenes from the remake.Correct, but you could've just said that it is gay as fuck, like everyone else did already years ago. There is a reason nobody recommends that shit.
>>737363374>How tf didn't the old one get a remaster already?!?!?!?You're playing the remaster. They added derpy mouths to all the character models.Just be glad they patched out the PC midi music.
should i play this even if i know aerith dies
>>737363694Get a 4:3 monitor then.
>>737363708nigga your mod looks like this.
>>737363694If you are seeing the black bars, you are not paying attention to the GAME, and by very definition, are NOT immersing yerself.This is the problem with the Call Of Halo x TikTok generation players: they expect their socks to be blown off within the first 30 seconds, and don't put any effort into calming the fuck down and just playing the game.And if it is such an impassable obstacle to you, then go on and invest into a good 4:3 monitor or telly.
>>737363750no, there isnt a single good final fantasy game.
>>737363750Absolutely. That thing you mentioned is literally a Disc 1 event, not some big climax.The story and cast are still memorable to this day, the atmosphere and OST are absolutely sick, and the art-style is pretty boss for an early-gen PS1 game.
Tepid bait aside, it's fascinating FF7 mods can do proper widescreen now. Too bad FF8 doesn't have that, as the areas actually look stunning there and not generic throwaway renders.
>>737363374>stealth ff7-remake hate threadfuck off.
>>737363825It literally does not.THIS is the remake we asked for over 20 years.
>>737363827They'd have to pay a loicence for that telly
>>737363827Woooow i'm immersing myself by imaginign the bars awayyy woooahhhhhI loveee imagining things i love imagining the game looks GOOD
i remember when /v/ didn't shill garbage HD mods
>>737363374the whole thing loses its soul when divorced from the time period and tech of it's original release.
>>737363918>Pepe PIebbitroonFF7 demake sucks ass, nigger. Fuck off.
>FF7 demake
> You can't hate the unifnished souless cashgrab remake that's not even finished and who knows when the final part will come out! YawnGo back to your waiting chair.
>Playing the PC versionYou didn't beat the game.
>>737363926ADHD + Aphantasy really is a bitch, huh>>737363929Garbage HD mods are garbage,Good HD mods are good.But iPhone era tourist nufags wouldn't know jack shit about any of that. Nor about VIDYA GAEMS.
>>737363926Do you also get distracted by the bezels on your monitor?
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?EVEN FF 8 IS FUCKING 4:3??? WHAT THE FUCK IT'S 2026 I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PLAY GAMES WITH FUCKING BLACK BARS ON THE SIDESnow i'm gonna have to spend hours upon hours checking what mods to use for each game i aint' playing no 4:3 shit. Fuck this.
>>737364949you can tell this is bait because zoomers literally don't even know what the fuck 4:3 means, they don't know what 16:9 means; they can't differentiate landscape and portrait and just call it "vertical / horizontal"
>>737364949It must suck to be too autistic to be able to play 90% of the best games ever made.
>>737365252> Y-you're autistic if you don't enjoy hideous graphcis and black bars on the sides of your screenI love this type of comments becuase they are always done by fake fans who have never played a single FF game but still larp as FF fans.
>>737365310>all this projectionlmaoI must've struck a nerve.
>>737365542You don't know what projection means, do you?
>>737365668What I said to you had nothing to do with FF, yet you started projecting your own insecurities onto me because my post triggered you.
why are people so bothered about the black bars? you'd rather stretch and warp the image?
>>737365959ignore it. they probably are just being dumb. it is /v/ afterall.
>>737363498Because the hundreds of prerendered backdrops are rendered in 4:3. The game has a robust amount of locales that don't use 3D environments; the only places that do are battles and the world map, and you can't exactly change the aspect ratio of a jpeg.Those images would have to be remade from scratch which would be a massive undertaking, one that wouldn't even be worth it since you wouldn't be able to explore the newly formed screen placements anyway because of how the game is coded.
>>737366380It's 2026 and it's the most popular FF game ever, why didn't Square enix or fans go through the effort of making jpg from scratch?
>>737365959He's black
>>737366470Square is too retarded, and if a fan goes too far in trying to remake their stuff, they get sued by Square.
>>737366470My understanding is that Square lost a lot of their old PS1 era files including the masters of the pre-rendered images, and their 2d artists would have been replaced by 3d artists by now so they probably also don't have the talent to recreate the backgrounds.
>>737363878It is literally the climax of the first part and the most talked about event of the game tho? Also the first two parts of the sequel trilogy focus on that event?
>>737363537Ever Crisis is more or less the same story but it's VERY different gameplay wise and has a lot of fanfic-tier additions.
>>737363750Yes, it's a great game. But, if you are going to continue with the franchise, try to connect with Aerith even if you know what happens to her. The sequels focus a lot on what happened to her and how it affects Cloud. Otherwise you'll be frustrated the sequels focus so much on that event.
>>737363374Because remasters only work for games that aren't 40 hours long you gigantic fucking mongstick.Remasters simply imply smoothed out graphics and that's fucking it, not a complete graphical overhaul of an engine and all that shittery you faggots keep asking for.
>>737363374this is why the remake exists
get 7th heaven and download the enhanced backgrounds/thread
>>737370139That does look muchbetter, what mod is it? I like those full models more than chibi shit.
>>737363374Download the Seventh Heaven mod manager and set the aspect ratio to 16:9, or download FFNx separately and do the same in its config file. Native widescreen has been a thing for a while. Most of the backgrounds in FF7 are so large that the camera pans as you move, so there's no stretching.
>>737363750Theres a more impactful spoiler that you still don't know, so yes.
>>737363374Bitch the game is good with the lego graphics.
>>737363629Can you explain what looks bad about this without buzzwords? It's literally more detail without compromising the art style. I understand shitting on people who replace field models with battle models but come on.
>>737371190>Can you explain what looks bad about this without buzzwords?Looks like giving anHD make over to a 5 poly model
That is my wifes game. It looks goodhttps://youtu.be/COeNYgJvgYs
>>737371190It's a completely different art style from the base game and it's not complete. Enemies and NPCs without new models look out of place next to the new ones. It's worse than the FF8 Remaster models. That one only updates all field models, your party's battle models, GFs and humanoid enemies like Seifer. Everyone else have PS1 models.
>>737363374They literally just re-released it like a month ago with a 3x speed mode and modern resolutions. Played it front to back. Unironically worked on my machine.
>>7373703837th heaven with enhancement mods was fucking kino for my 2nd playthrough. I even installed the fanmade Voice Acting and honestly, it was actually pretty decent. It did take some getting used to but for a 2nd playthrough it was a fun change.
>>737363629>>737363708I'll never forget that shitposter autist that tantrumed through multiple threads crying how the Ninostyle version of Cloud made him "effeminate" because the eyelash geometry was slightly different. Ninostyle is an amazing mod, but I prefer the non chibi version. When I played FFVII in 1998/1999ish - i dreamed of a version of the game where the overworld looked like the battle models.These days I'll play the OG on my PVM for nostalgia, but OLED with Ninostyle and New Threat 2.0 for my actual, serious playthroughs.
>>737363374That's nowhere near 4:3
>>737372589The Ninostyle overworld models are basically complete for all NPCs. Couldn't care less if it isn't 1:1 with the original style - it's clearly an upgrade to the vector, textureless graphics and it honors it.>B-butNo. I'm an OG FFVII fag, but the models always looked bad minus the backgrounds.
>>737375679On an actual 4:3 monitor the game would probably look like that but with the sides cropped because of the overscan
>>737371508It's not even remotely like that, you disingenuous faggot. The models are all higher poly in Ninostyle chibi. It's much more equivalent to OOT 3DS.
>>737375680The game has 100+ enemies that will never be remade in the Ninostyle style. The moment you enter combat you'll look at two clashing styles. ChaoS is the way to go if you want to improve the models. It sticks to the original style and doesn't look out of place.
>>737376002>ChaoSIs that the one with the battle sprites outside of combat?That one looks cool but it must be awful seeing your characters with a good model and then everyone else in story sections is chibi, even sephirot. Also i never see people show the models in later parts of the game which makes me think the game only works in the first 10 minutes.
>>737376124No. It recreates every model in the game in the style of the battle models, including the battle models. https://www.nexusmods.com/finalfantasy7/mods/1
turn on path tracing
>>737376420monkeyfaggotballs69this is so i can find it in the archives later
>>737363498>> Nooo brooo you need to enjoy those 5 polygons in a 4:3 image that makes 90% of your screen have black bars!Yes. Cope and mald alphaggot.
>>737377023If I can't see myself then how am I supposed to know I exist?
I have FF7 on steam. Do I want to play the new version or the 2013 version? Are there any good crt filters?
>>737363498Here is your wide screen.
>>737377146Here's your widescreen.
>>7373771312013 version if you want mods. There's a CRT Royale mod for the game in the mod manager.
Why FF 9 got an excellent wide screen upscaling mod but FF 7 and FF 8 didn't?
>>737377646I dunno, I'm fairly certain the most modern HD mods for FFVII fix a lot of that. If that's your standard I think some are quite close. Every year they get better.
>>737377646because FFVII has a mod scene that's even better? FFVII has full on background replacer modsand yes there is an AI upscale mod for FFVIII but it's hit and miss and it's a paid mod
4:3 is more engaging.keep your cinema stretching for movies
>>737363629Just enable DDL5 lil bro
>>737370365The fact that you clearly can't read explains a lot.
>>737370365Redone cinematic style models is called ChaOS, I was using the QHimm forum modding package to enable the ChaOS mods with dynamic weapons as well as the model field size fix (when swapping the models it makes the new models look too small on backgrounds and they have to be adjusted)Gaia Overworld mod is also really cool to give you modern analog controls on the world map and it lets you zoom the camera in and out
>>737376420That mod is so unbelievably ugly and clashes way more than just having different chibi and battle models. I'm not the biggest ninostyle fan but chibi ninostyle with regular ninostyle battle models looks a million times better than that trashBut just playing OG on a CRT is obviously the best looking
>>737378504Chibi is trash.
>>737370139
>>737378929You are both soulless and low IQ. Impressive
>>737378032The FF8 modding scene is pretty shit in general. It's largely dominated by that faggot McIndus or whatever and he paywalls all his shit for like 3 people. Both major FF8 gameplay overhaul mods are among the best in the entire romhacking scene, thoughbeit. Ragnarok Rebalancing Mod actually turns it into a great game mechanically.
>>737363694How is that less immersive than having your room on the sides of the screen?
