How to make FF7 PC look like a remaster

[Lars]

Kinda cool looking mod. FPS is alright and the style isnt bad. Just incase you want a mod suggestion is all

Mainly wanna try this because it looks legit like the art of Nomura in flesh! So this is type of remaster i approve of

Are you doing this method @LARS? Can we see screenshots from your game to see what these changes do personally?

There's another thing, Ninostyle actually recently made a chibi mod, for if you like the lego type cloud on the field and world map. You can have those kind of remastered and chibified, it isn't finished however and some NPC sprites are left out

Its not PS1 so its pointless. I wont have detailed limitations lol. PS1 or nothing. Or just make it like a remaster art of nomura's art. Pure and simple : D

What does OW means? Do you mean the CGI vids that have them look like LEGO? Yeah i doubt they can fix that :o since its in video

But i wish i could just play PS1 in general haha XD. I mean the models and meny avatar of Cloud and all that. PC remaster or others just looks wonky.

PS1 is still best version to play in my view!

Almost looks like it is from a anime or something. I must say the characters look nice. The backgrounds look the same. So i am guessing this only effects the character sprites?

Chibi style has been done already...well not on this game specifically, but if you play World of Final Fantasy, you can play as cloud chibi on there..

It's weird, because the limitations of the PS1 version actually make that the best looking version whereas the better technology of the other versions made it look a little worse for me, and that's not because of the changes to the character models, it's because of the higher quality character models clashing with the lower quality backgrounds.

Plus the PS1 version will always have the benefit of having pixelated 3D textures which I always find charming and appealing.

Yeah it looks like the artwork by Nomura. So i like it too. Only thing that sucks is when using Cure, you cant see the HP.. So thats a bummer. Outside that, its pretty decent mod

You realize the models you see in that video are Ninostyle right... meaning yes, it is going to look like Nomura's art. And what do you mean detailed limitations? There are no limitations. By the way. YOU CAN GET A MOD TO UPDATE THE BACKGROUNDS AND MAKE THEM HIGH QUALITY. Which would make them not look out of place

Yes but I'm saying Ninostyle is doing a mod that changes all the field models in this game to chibis. Including like Yuffie and usch

I have this mod and its gorgeous, however ive come into a few problems. Gongaga battles lag. The limit break animations are too fast for the camera to keep up. (60fps upgrade i think?) and theirs no updated soundtrack mod. I'd still recomend it tho. If i could mod i'd use this as an updated battle music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEdv344hlNQ&t=376s

If not then just remaster it by using Nomura's art irl in game (though it may be hard to do unless they "Cut away the LEGO CGI vids" otherwise it would look out of place.

chibi models just need to be given a chance, I understand that it is difficult to just undo CC, AC, dissidia, or all modern trends towards realism and graphics ... with these probably nothing can be done
