FFX did some of the most amazing things with the PS2, and holds up so well to this day
>>12558401All rook the same
>>12558401i could have sworn that most of ffx was prerendered backgrounds. the fayth temples certainly were
>>12558542Ff12 had great graphics... Wasn't much into that combat style but the graphics was awesome. FF10 graphics are pretty dull by comparison
>>12558542there's a few prerendered screens but not many. maybe 5% of the game if I had to guess
>>12559020forgot picrel
>>12558542Most of the game is full 3D, when a scene is prerendered they make it hard to notice by having some sort of movement on screen.I'm fairly certain these 2 shots are prerendered with water effects.
>>12559020Best of both worlds
>>12559023The prerendered scenes... Almost look better. Lots of handmade stuff in that distinctive ffx art style.
>>12559002nah 12 has really blocky and weird looking characters and is mostly corridors. 10 looks a lot better>>12559020>>12559023>>12559027>>12559042they should have just stuck with this. i think most of the pure 3d scenes are from early in development, before they realised the ps2 couldn't do what they wanted it to.
>>12558401I agree. I'm currently playing FFX for the first time ever (on PS2, and on my 27" Trinitron) and I've been blown away by how well the game holds up in terms of its graphics and art style. Even the voice acting is surprisingly good. I played FF7-9 on PS1 as a kid back when they released, but then I got into PC gaming after that instead of getting a PS2. But I never expected a game from 2001 to hold up so well in 2026.
It's funny when you think back on it that one of the biggest tells for whether a location is 3D or prerendered in FFX is if it has an inordinately important cutscene that has no closeups or camera angle changes like the Farplane entrance or Fayth scar. Also of course they look kind of shit in the HD version but why look at that
>>12559042Yeah I really liked the pre rendered scenes just to get a glimpse of what the artists were thinking.
>>12559023>>12559042>>12559995What do these scenes look like in the remaster? Did they rebuild them from scratch?
>>12558401Look at Lord of the Rings: The Third Age.
>>12560017Not bad, imo. I don't know what they did but it looks like a better upscale than 7-9 fan upscales.
>>12560027The original was 640x480, that's 3,840x2,160. Still looks pretty good.
