This looks amazing. I have always wanted to see what HD ff ix art would look it. It was a beautiful looking game now it's just straight out gorgeous.

More fidelity and imo the original artstyle is preserved. It's just amazing looking.

well for one, the backgrounds don't look like absolute garbage.




this was using the previous version of the mod.

also the mod fixes a ton of random issues the port had (like not having actual analog movement).

If you say so

They look the same to me.

What does that have to do with being HD?

I mean I don't see how it's an improvement. Not that they aren't different.

FFIX's art style is one of the best and most consistent in gaming, it looks great. Higher definition doesn't really add anything to it.

though i don't have comparisons for these, keep in mind the originals had to be compressed to psx resolution (which is like 240p?) and ALL ports of this game were using worse versions of those for the backgrounds.

Maybe. I just know that it takes about haf a second to respond to any action I make in battle, compared to the OG ps version which is instant

Installing it now. Let's see how it does.

Installation seems to have buggered. I don't like replacing the stock music, and the background textures were all scrambled. This time I'll try installing the pack from outside the game folder.

After some trial and error, I got it to work properly. The installer is kind of broken, and won't allow you to navigate to the installation folder. You have to enter it into the data field for Memoria Patcher to find the game properly. Once done though, ho man, the backgrounds look great. Now to turn off the remixed music, because the OG music is classic as fuck. You don't mess with it.

@Frogles Have you figured out how to patch out the remastered music? I want the original music in there, but Memoria patcher is being stupid and won't direct itself to my FFIX directory.

I can't believe more professional game developers haven't started using this technology for re-releases of old games. I know there's more work to it than just running the images through the A.I. upscaler, but it has to be a relatively minor cost considering the amazing results it produces.

on a fresh install of the mod you just uncheck the orchestral soundtrack box. i'm not sure how you'd do it if you've already installed the mod other than just reinstalling it.

actually you may not have to reinstall. running the installer gives you an option to modify your installation.

Tried that. Memoria patcher can't find my install directory by itself.

Oh right, my question: Does this take much processing? I'm using a 7 year old potato, steam version works fine as is; will I be chugging hard, or are these settings mostly background/static rendered?

You know, it's funny. I used to not understand the hype behind "HD". And whenever people joked that I needed glasses, I thought they were assholes.

But then years later I found out I was nearsighted and was looking at everything blurry, lol.

I'll admit though, I had to look at the comparison shots to see why this was cool. I remember being impressed with the upgrade from PS to PC, but gosh seeing this mod makes me wonder why. >_> this mod may compel me to replay the game soon.

Oof, I'm probably failing to recognize Hanlon's razor for people with sight issues.

But yeah, this is good incentive for a replay. I'll try to route for efficient/early loot this time; since I only beat the game once.
