Any plans to mod that AI upscaler into this?

[Arndell]

Or perhaps import the character models into the original steam version?

+1, I will buy this only when it will receive either a patch or a mod that will upscale remaining textures... I played this game using various ways, and so far nothing is better than the original game emulated upscaled to 4k with anti aliasing.

They're still trying to get access to all of the files. Once they do that they'll be able to see their options for modding. They will NOT be importing the remastered textures into the 2013 version.

Crusader do you mean original PSX version upscaled on an emu to 4k? Or do you mean this PC version?

I mean that the best looking version is still PCSX2 emulated to 4K and with the filtering and anti-aliasing enabled in options.

Thanks for your reply! PCSX2 is a PS2 emulator though, why would you play FF8 on a PS2 emulator?

Because it is ironically most stable and best looking version :)
I've played it on PC version and emulated even on android phone, I like the game a lot.
To me it's the best FF game there is, which many people agree with (more people like FF7 more of course).

But why would you play a PSX game on a PS2 emulator, and not a PSX emulator? I don't think PS2 emulators can even play PSX games, right?

The original PS2 was backwards compatible with all PS1 games...so I guess the files would have some compatibility?

Maybe I just showed how little I know about emulation :P

Ahhh my bad, epsx it must have been, I didn't think about it.
It has been a while :D

Now I mess around with PS3 and switch emulators. Currently playing Fire Emblem Three houses, but it crashes a bit.

Arndell; Thats what I thought as well but with emulators they usually only play the exact system(s) they're meant to emulate

Crusader: Do you have any tips on how to make the pre-rendered backgrounds look better? Everytime I try to play FFVII or another game using pre-rendered backgrounds etc on emulator, the polygonal characters look great but the backgrounds look awful.

That is actually something common, because 2D static pictures can not just be upressed like the 3D models (even with low res textures on them, they are not aliased).
In those cases, you can often play with filters that often bring great results for both 2D art and text.

Look what I did here:

And look how it "normally" is supposed to look:

Thanks for sharing that - amazing! For pre-rendered games on PSX, do you have any specific settings / filters etc that you could recommend?
