>>12608118I don't recall that... And I've played the game quite a few times
PS1 FF 2D background is peak
>>12607582>>12607996Absolutely soulless
>>12608152
>>12608179They're killing the planet, Cloud!
>>12607996>renaissance fair vibe (stone wall, sign font, coat of arms)>vintage 50s theme (car/gas pump)>coastal mediterranean vibe (plaster exterior)>modern/futurism (security cameras/futurist window)FFVIII has some of the most random aesthetics in a gameIt's really reminiscent of Chinese design actually. Chinese people love to cram 3+ totally unrelated styles into one space like this
>>12608238That's why 8 was so nice. It combined that futurism vibe with old world design. FF8 really was a unique game. A true fantasy world
>>12608375Anyone got more pics?
>>12609274
>BRUUUUUH DEM BE DEM VIBES BRUH
>>12609405got irrationally angry over a word award
>>12609479Bruh fr fr these words be bussing deadcap no ass>Be me>Man shawty dese areas be vibing an shit
Low key aura farming up on this ass
Reminder the word "cool" came from black slang too
Woooow unbelievable! Dem Blacks be some real muthafuken wordsmiths, imagine, cool, meaning awesome, wow
Not much to it visually but there's something enigmatic about the peninsula of power when you become aware of it.
>>12611507>Youdidntbeatthegame.png
>>12609405you make fun of it like it's a new term. it's been around as long as i can remember and i'm in my mid-30s.it's changed a bit over the years but ultimately still refers to how you feel about something. traditionally it has referred to how a place feels, but has more recently expanded into how you feel in general.>>12609560i'm not sure vibe is even a black thing
>>12611518Thats not the point, zoomgroids keep over using the same words, just like how you keep seeing lo-fi, aura farming, slop and other terms applied to fucking everything
>>12611630idk i dont hang around kids. wtf is aura farming?
>>12611630If it's something kids over-use then maybe you shouldn't be hanging around places frequented by kids.
>>12606817>Published by Squarecertifiably retro
>>12611630Maybe you're' problem is you have no aura.
>>12611632>>12611637>He says while going to a board older then them, made for different people in mind
>>12608238In my opinion that's the strongest point of the game
Let it be said that I would live here.
not a specific area but hearing "Awakening" on the world map on FF6 is a core memory
>>12608152i wonder if they still have these background models. i've seen re-releases of several games with this style (prerendered backgrounds) but never with re-rendered backgrounds.why is that? was all their backup and storage procedures just that bad? do they have them but literally can't be fucked trying to convert or just use the original software to render new backgrounds?what about the CGI cutscene models? they surely spent a lot of time and effort on those, yet they're fine with them only existing in QVGA 15fps MJEG renders?https://youtu.be/kmDt-EbFslo
>>12611990I geniunly think FF9 on a CRT is one of the most beautiful game ever made even including modern games
>>12611982>i wonder if they still have these background modelsUnlikely.If they did, they would not keep recycling and Photoshop-upscaling the same 240p textures in the recent remasters. >The tank controls were never an issue, they were a stroke of genius that MADE the gameplay. And unless you are extremely picky and impatient, anyone can master them in no time!In case of the oldass FFX/X-2 HD ports back in the PS3 days, it was already confirmed that Squeernix had already ditched all the development files, and had to build most of the stuff from scratch. Which along the fact that they were made by a whole new crew resulted the notoriously bad new visuals.And this ain't a S-E only thing either.Since the storage space used to be limited and expensive, and nobody thought that people would WANT to play the same old retro games "in HD" within the next 30 years or so, on their Playstation 13 super computers, most Japanese studios just got rid of their old dev data once the project was finished.Crapcom and Konami were bit in the butt by this same practice, as was shown with the REmake 1's 2015 HD port, and the most notorious release one of them all, the SH "HD" Collection.Only in case of RE0 did they actually manage to discover the old 3D files and re-render them in UHD for the remaster, and the quality difference is stark.tl;dr: the old models are long gone, and the best you can do is either recreate everything from scratch (= slooow), or use AI upscalers (better than nothing, but not a 1-click solution). The stuff you can do with the modern AI + some manual tweaks is still very impressive.
There isn't a single screen or location in X that isn't dripping with atmosphere
>>12607996>>12607582they need to stop it with this lighting, it makes everything too bright and look like plastic
>>12606230Windy...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63nFKKI6S3c
>>12606230is this a rmx or my memories are failing me
>>12606817FFX started production in 1999 right after the release of FFVIII and before FFIX was even finished, so yes it IS retro.
