Nice! This came out right around the same time as the mobile version's remaster project:

Looks like a really good upscale too -- top notch work. About how much of the game's textures are upscaled? Seems pretty complete if I had to guess

Did a little digging -- here's some footage of their mod in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USRLygRWxys

This is by far the best DQ8 has ever looked. It seems like the 60fps patch might cause a little bit of jank from what I can tell (but that's nothing to do with the texture pack, ofc).

According to their post on r/GameUpscale, the HD retexture was done via some combination of GPAI and ESRGAN plus some manual touchups in photoshop. The effort really shows.

Here's a link[gbatemp.net] to their GBATemp thread. It sounds like it's more-or-less in a feature complete state already.

We need a DQ8 definitive edition. they added in a bunch of QoL fixes for the 3DS version but they removed super saiyan mode and a few other things that annoyed me.
