I don't like Jowy new portrait in Suikoden II. (SPOILERS)

[Dan]

Don't get me wrong, Suikoden II is one of my favourites games and I'm waiting for this with much illusion.


But Jowy new portrait have the eyes less opened and his expression It is not that of a good kid as it should be. I hope they fix this. It's something very important for the story and specially for the new players.


I like everything else.

I hope they fix this.

You're heavily exaggerating (or trolling). It looks perfectly fine.

[Dan]

No. Look well and you will see the differences. At first glance can be look similar but it's not.

In fact, looks like that Jowy is the only character that not have his portrait in HD in artwork and for that Junko Kawano had to redraw him again.

The things people concern themselves with when we've had radio silence on the development for like a year... Jesus ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Christ.

Eh, I could care less about these "remasters." You can just play Suikoden 1 and 2 on a Playstation emulator. It will look awesome with the graphic enhancements, and it's legal (if you own the games, like I do!)

What we really need is Eiyuden Chronicle!

Wow, look what a beautiful work. I'm sorry, I'm going a little off topic with your comment about Jowy's portrait.
Usually the "remasters" have turned out to be squalid commercial operations of pure speculation on the passion of gamers, but judging by the preview video, this time it seems that someone has really worked hard to give satisfaction to the fans of the saga, after many years (decades?!) of complete disinterest in us and the franchise.
I own this game for ps1, as a digital title for ps2, played it on the pc emulator and I really think I will buy full price as soon as it is released.
Nonetheless, I will also buy Eiyuden Chronicles Hundred Heroes.

wait, i don't see any differences

This is the largest troll post of this forum. lol

[ReinaSarnai]

So... the portrait has more contrast and a higher resolution. Totally looks evil... not? and for the record Joey was not ever evil. He did what he felt he had to do to save his home

[jomigaru]

Looks fine to me

[Dark All Day]

**** Jowy.

Yeah, I do see a lot of subtle differences between the two. You're getting undeservedly crapped on for pointing it out by people who apparently need prescription lenses, lol.

Not sure how the new portrait makes him look more like a "bad guy," though. To me the new portrait style just looks slightly more bland and simplified. The shape of the mouth is the most immediately noticeable example, I think.
