I think this was a little better than the one he did with the last video, but still goes to show that he's not a director and this is still a fan made project. I'm not sure which AI tools he's using, but someone who is more of a director or even screenplay writer could probably get better camera shots, character positions, cutaways, etc even with the 10-15 second intervals he probably has for video generation .

That said, I do like that he's going for the same script as the game. That and the set pieces are really good, and I do think he's getting a bit better with the voices. Also he finally got away from ending every scene with a fade out, so things flow a bit better. Also I was more excited to see he had them dancing in their correct attire rather than keeping them in their normal outfits like he had when they were on Dollet. Also, for a fanmade project from a guy doing the best he can with the tools he has, it's much better than I could do.
>"It's just AI"
Right, and I still couldn't do this and I'm willing to bet money you couldn't either. He's doing good with it and it seems like he took the criticism of the last video to try to improve with this one, which is very admirable. He said he's planning on doing the whole game, so it'll be fun seeing the progress from this to the end of disc 4.

HOPEFULLY someone at Square-Enix is paying attention and sees there are fans of this game who are ready to buy FF8 from them with modern visuals (and 1:1 so they don't need to change anything from the OG writing or anything). It's the one game I'd actually be excited to see getting a remake.
>>
>>741860742
Also I forgot to say that I feel like he's doing a really good job with Selphie's interactions overall. He's getting better with the others, but still, Selphie is his best one so far and I think it's because he likes her like everyone else.

Techno-optimism is a dying aesthetic because people are overly cynical about technological advancement these days.

Valid criticisms. Ultimately its just a rando who a makes a few hundred bucks on Patreon. Its just neat to see these ps1 levels and characters in higher fidelity. I think the reason it works so well for VIII is because that game was going for a more realistic look by 1999 standards. Its baked into the artstyle.

Anyways I expect square enix to issue a cease and desist by the end of the year lmao

Being a clusterfuck and trying new things, everything from junctioning, the setting, the plot and even mechanics like the Seed Salary and Rental Cars, VII is a game where Square put the "Apprentices", the "B"-team and told them to do whatever the fuck they wanted to prove their chops while IX were to be the "Proper" FF. This resulted in the team reminiscence about their high school days and just doing what they felt like with a (relatively)big budget due to VII's success.
>>
>>741861259
Agreed on everything you said. Also I want to say that what I mean by a director or screenplay writer could get better shots and such is that they would know the phrasing and terminology better. Meaning they can automatically make better prompts than someone who isn't a director or screenplay writer for things like this.

But like you said, for a guy likely just making a few hundred dollars on a patreon and probably isn't someone who's learned in film vernacular, he's doing a good job.

Because technology has continually only been used to oppress, steal and spy instead of actually improve anyone's lives. It keeps getting uglier, more dangerous and more intrusive instead of helpful. You can no longer own it, only rent it. They are removing your ability to modify or customize it. All of it looks exactly the same, all of it is recording and stealing your data in order to better extract money from you.

Can any of you FFfags or RPGfags recommend me a game as memorable or interesting as Chrono Trigger in terms of its world? Every FF game seems to be set in either an industrial or medieval world. There's like nothing else lol. I want some cool scifi shit like time traveling or alternate dimensions (yes I've heard about Cross but haven't played it yet).

Personally, even though it’s rough around the edges, I feel as though these videos are cause for excitement, because it means in a few years, we could have people making homemade Advent Children-tier CGI movies. Random people will be able to make the movies of their dreams in our lifetime.

Squall is an actual brooding teenager that's easy to self-insert as when you're that age. He's also the ONLY competent person in the entire game, all girls want his dick, he has the coolest weapon, he wears all black leather with fur trims and he has a cool scar across his face like Harry Potter.

If we are doing remakes, they need to remake Chrono Trigger next. At the rate they are pumping out these FF remakes that are more or less the same as every other FF game not to mention 12 year dev cycle split into 3 games, we won't get it play a CT remake until 2040 or beyond.

If Kato and Sakaguichi aren't involved, why the ever loving fuck would you want a remake of Chrono Trigger? Surely you have a favorite book, right?

What's the jap shit of having men wear earrings? It is extremely vain and feminine, not to mention gay as a meatball.
I had a friend that was super into FF8, used Squall as his pfp for every social media he had. He got a gold stud and was like "bro you should get one". I told him that it looked gay as fuck and he almost chimped out.
Show me one male character that is NOT improved by removing their faggot ear jewellery.

She puts on a "tough" persona because she has PTSD from a training accident when she was young (which cost her the eye). She can talk normally and does so twice in the game.

8 falls directly in the timeframe where JP companies cdid not keep data masters of finished products.
>>
>>741864070
Square seems to hate 8 and wants to sweep it under the rug because of its “black sheep” status. Which is weird, because they still did a remaster of it and had its characters be playable in Dissidia.
>>
can we all just admit that FF8 is the greatest love story ever written?

>>741863884
Best selling FF games are 14, 7, 8, 12 and 15. CT might also happen but Naoki Hamaguchi said he wanted to do an original game. Not sure if management will let him after the bomb that was 16. Everyone is doing remakes now because it's "safe" and cuts dev time.

The whole “lost the source code” doesn’t seem like an excuse considering that they remastered 8, and also Kingdom Hearts 1 got re-released despite that game’s source code also supposedly being lost.

Square will go where the money is at. Any FF game after 9 is too modern for a remake. It's either 8 or CT that is next. Weird how 12 sold more than 10, you almost never hear anyone talk about 12.

12 was a very divisive and controversial game because of how it deviated from the conventional FF gameplay formula. It’s been more appreciated with time though.

It is. It's also incredible how this guy managed to make the best looking Squall we've seen. He may look older than 17 or whatever his age is, but as far as being comparable to the cutscenes we saw growing up, he's much better than the anime bullshit redesign Square Enix gave us.
>>
>>741864387
Remastered 8 comes from the original PC release, though not the PSX one. The PSX's source code is long gone, as are many other games from that era.

For whatever reason, JP companies would simply keep a copy of a finished game as their "master" and purge all of the source when it was time to move to the next project. Software developers literally everywhere else in the world would keep as much stuff as possible, it makes no sense at all.

The game itself is shit but the art direction is very cool in the late 90s early 00s sort of way. Had the game played more like FF6 or FF7 it wouldn't be as bad. But instead the game is either extremely annoying to play if you play it like a good little goy or extremely easy if you break the game playing the fucking card game. Basically your first couple hours of the game is a card game simulator in order to get cards that can be turned into powerful Magic which you equipped to your GF. And then you make sure you run from EVERY, SINGLE, RANDOM BATTLE because leveling up makes the game harder because levels scale up.

Final Fantasy VI and VII are classics that you should play. But if you want to play a game that's different and in some ways closer to the vibes of Chrono Trigger I recommend Super Mario RPG. It's as long as Chrono Trigger (meaning short) and it's a quirky and original game with some soul.

You don’t need to do that at all. Enemies have scaling caps. And them being higher levels gets you better loot.

Sephiroth in the Remakes seems like he's doing a version of Time Compression (World Compression). It feels like they are cleaning up Ultimamecia's plot and giving it to him.

Lmao the FF7 Remakes were definitely missing Sakaguchi. Those games are missing that something that makes Sakaguchi games special.
>>
>>741865776
Probably because fans of any “black sheep” entry in any franchise tend to be more dedicated and love to see their game be in the spotlight. FF8 actually has a pretty solid and dedicated fanbase that’s also somehow less cringy than the 7 and 9 fanbases, despite those games being more popular.
>>
>>741865776
People just don't accurately remember how bad CV is. The game has one or two interesting moments in it but it is such a slog to play. I don't think any amount of re-tooling it can save it for a modern audience.

Only Squall has an implied theme (Maybe I'm a Lion) in the game, because Uematsu in his peak retardation thought that all his past character themes were failures and sucked, so he didn't make any for VIII. That's right, even The Man with the Machine Gun isn't a character theme.

They use actual screenshots and video from the game as input for the model.
>>
>>741876721
>>741881626
The actual reason was that Uematsu felt that because VIII was focused on Squall and Rinoa rather than an ensemble cast, character themes were unnecessary, so he just did romance themes like My Mind and Love Grows to represent them, while the rest of the crew got Ami to represent the general theme of friendship.

Also, it’s common for creatives in general to hate or feel indifferent towards their most acclaimed work and consider one of their lesser known works a favourite. IIRC, Uematsu considers FFIX to be the best soundtrack he ever did, which is an unpopular opinion.

A lot of FF7 fans are a nostalgia ridden Millennial manchildren obsessed with their first JRPG or normies who’ve never played another JRPG before. A lot of FF9 fans are literal trannies and LGBT types, with all the aspects that a fandom of that nature brings.

Not to say that there are no good FF7 or 9 fans, but 8 being the comparatively lesser known one means that it filters bandwagoners and ends up producing a more loyal fanbase. Fanbases of niche things tend to be more stable in general.

Says it all really. ProJared is another example of an FF8 hater that went off the rails.
>>
>>741886902
She has a boring design so that automatically means she's a shit character.

I thought the biggest FF8 hater was spoony?

>>741886902
Selphie is my favourite, but Rinoa is a close second. It boggles my mind when people say she has no personality. The hate for Rinoa reminds me of the hate for Kairi in KH, which is ironic, because Rinoa was clearly the inspiration for Kairi.

>>741886996
Her design is near identical to Tifa’s and she’s one of the most popular vidya girls ever.

That's when I stopped watching that gigafaggot.

People love to latch onto the whole thing with Seifer the summer before the game starts and forget that Seifer is a turbo autist larping as a chad, so the best they did was a kiss and even that I strongly doubt.

She's Tifa without anything that makes Tifa popular, namely big tits.

In terms of design all the other girls mog her.

Are FF8fags the DkSIIfags of the Final fantasy franchise?
>>
>>741887297
He was accused of grooming minors also, but whether he did or didn’t is irrelevant. The thing I find annoying about him is that he’s a massive FF6-fag who claims FF6 is basically a perfect game while ignoring its faults and then criticises other FFs for having those same faults. He also says he thinks Squall is a horrible MC who’s unpleasant and uncaring, which shows how little he actually understands Squall’s character. In his FF8 video, you can tell a big reason that he doesn’t get Squall’s character is because he took his standoffish nature at face value, and he outright says that he personally hates stoic characters.

First off, it's DaS, and secondly, yes they're both based.
>>
>>741887765
I think FF8 haters are comparable to DaS2 haters at the very least - people who think the previous game was perfect and that the follow up “ruined” it just because it was different.
>>
>>741887902

I agree with him there.

Quistis is by far the worst girl at least in the main party though

Sorry goyim, we're in 1950+76. One token nigger and one token dyke are required.

Raijin and the Quistis Groupie in the cafeteria are both black, so they have that covered already.
>>
>>741888157
we're talking about sex appeal which she has the most of in the party - with selphie as a close second
>>
>>741888372
Raijin is Okinawan
You do have Michael Jackson with Laguna though
>>
>>741876796
I don't know about that, isn't she french or something

sex with Seifer

>>741859904
It's wacky and weird and there is nothing else like it. The story and setting incorporate so many elements that it can't really be considered fantasy or any genre. It's a great example of the kind of quirky and charming stuff that shapes our childhood memories of gaming and can only come out of Japan.

Frankly, I feel like an FF remake would be a bad idea. You just know it’d turn out to be something like this:

Quistis only really appeals if you have a dommy mommy or glasses fetish. The truth is that the 3 girls in the party all cover some niche. Rinoa is a maniac dream pixie girl for example, and Selphie is the genki girl.

DKS1 fans shit on the back half of their own game all the time, so this isn't true. You're probably a salty DKSII troon, lol.

>>741888904
It’s sci-fi fantasy, just like FF7. The only difference is that 7 was a sci-fi dystopia, while 8 is more utopian and European looking.

>>741889024
It’s accurate to the game too. I’m surprised the AI could pick up on those details.

When you think that this kind of thing was impossible just 5 years ago, it really just shows the rate AI is improving at. I think my biggest complaint aside from the occasional inconsistencies is that the guy making these videos clearly isn’t a director, so alot of the shot composition is really bland compared to the original game’s cutscenes.

I feel like people who hate AI are either shit-tier artists or shitters who lost their jobs to AI.
>>
>>741887765
DS2 is just a shittier version of DS1. FF8 is unique, there's nothing else like it to this day. If you're comparing it to 7, you're too obsessed with 7
>>
>>741892180
to be fair this is the first time I see AI being used well for something otherwise impossible like a FFVIII movie
>>
>>741892180
Correct. A lot of the best artists are either indifferent to AI or are actively using it as a tool in their arsenal.

The AI seethe comes down to the fact that mediocre artists can no longer charge ridiculous amounts for commissions and they have to try and get better to stand out now. AI might not be perfected yet, but it’s at a point currently where it can do mediocrity well.
>>
>>741892180
Normalfags don't want to enjoy highly personalized media made by random people. They need to worship a brand, or some great artist, they need to be told that the thing they're watching is good and beloved by millions. A movie made for them personally based on their personal taste? They don't need that shit, they don't have a taste in the first place. Gimme what's popular with the masses
>>
>>741859904
Only FF with a female villain, making the protagonist undisputably heterosexual

Tbh western art degraded to such ugly levels. They only make the same boobless morbid obese female characters, brown characters with blue hair and some other weird shit.
There is a reason things like Stardew or Leyley are popular and it's because the characters are not repulsive to look at

And the people who make those designs are the ones complaining about AI, because they know deep down that people will seek out an alternative.

As long as you can properly curate the images, AI has reached a point where you can lie about using it and some people won’t be able to tell the difference.

Exactly. If your designs are good you can still be popular. Look at Leon Kennedy, all they had to do is either make some cool guy or sexy cool woman yet they keep making those awful characters.
Hell SB2 Evie already has more cosplayers than Lufie or whatever her name is.
It's the same with cartoons and movies, watch any old cartoon or movie and the aesthetic used to be a lot better

FF8 is full of dropped ideas/plot/characters unironically the remake treatment could fix a lot of things.

NO
The crazy theories are part of the charm and killing them kills the allure.
