HD Remaster looks worse than the original

Want proof?

Just compare the faces.

Hmmm they look better in the HD Remaster to me. Even in that video you put.

[J.P.]

It even beats emulation. Faces are lacking expressions in some scenes though.

The post from the OP is misleading.

The only thing that is inferior in this game compared to the original is the facial expressions. The faces themselves look fine when not displaying any emotion also everything else looks vastly superior in the HD remaster.

Opinions. "proof" is when you need to state facts... What you think is only opinions. Just saying.

Eh, I get what OP is trying to say he just didn't word it right. Just because one thing is inferior to the original doesn't mean the "entire thing looks worse".

Also, it's not really an opinion that the facial expressions are inferior, the Chinese people Square Enix outsourced the game to didn't do as good as a job as the original Japanese devs.

The thing is the faces are lacking emotions, this is what this topic is about (also some prefer the old shape of the faces, imho they look more human like) I agree, comparing this video above, Yuna is emotionless as fug.

An article on gamesradar about the faces, even comes with a few comparison photos so you don't even have to read the article.

This is very subjective.

I actually liked the new faces A LOT more. The old faces look too bloated in some areas.

The new faces showing less emotions is not subjective, you liking them more is.

[NoRain]

Agreed.

The new face models ruin it for me.

Ok, I get it. Somehow you can tell better in the original wheather Yuna is angry or not (maybe eyelashes?). In the HD Remaster you can't. I mean, at least in this scene.

I think they definitley did a terrible job with Yuna's facial expressions. And Tidus's hair looks really wonky to me too.. But aside from that, everyone else and everything else in this remaster looks much better in my opinion.

Interesting. To me it looks much more defined and sharp than on PS2, emulation included.

[Purple Tentacle]

I'm fine with most new faces except for Tidus's, they completely ruined his face in the remaster.

It's probably not even the remaster tbh, I think the style in general just reminds me of a mop or something. Or maybe a scottish terrier lol.
