Final Fantasy VIII w/HD Mods (PC/Steam) - The Great GF

- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- First off, I'll admit, this isn't actually my save file here. This actually belongs to an old buddy of mine from the past. Judging from her save, she obviously likes to live on the edge when playing this. :P Anyways, more videos of the upscaled areas. And I do see a small seam that needs some fixing. Next area!

Back attacked!
Odin: Hold my beer
You mean mug?
Squalls Renzokuken on Bahamut looks Rad! I always thought it was cool how he did different animations on different bosses. Great detail.
I remember how relieved i was whenever Odin showed up. Oh those wonderful times he saved my ass.
Love the part where Odin shows from a back attack with a red dragon and goes "NOPE!!" HE'S MINE
Never underestimate the guy that fights dragons with only his fists, Zell is a badass.
Nice mod! Also lmao at that poor red dragon that got a back attack on you. Odin shows up and just says "DENIED!".
igable82 Ruby Dragon: "Got you! "
Odin: "No, got you."
The last ruby dragon always hits you from behind.
RedTygon Odin the best
squall has a special renzokuken animation for bahamut?
goddamn
The Brilliant And Amazing Gamer He has alot of special animations for Certain Boses. Which is a nice little feature in FFVIII! You should see what he does to Ultima Weapon or when Ultamecia Is fused with Griever! Such a good time!
Ooooh, he has sooooooooo many special Animations! many of the bosses and special enemys have special Renzokuken Animations! Only downside is that he does aöways the same ones against those enemys, and if they only have 4 or 5 Hits, than there is no chance to get a higher Hit count this way.
Including Jumbo Cactuar...He actually rocks it all out.
Vergil7799 Yeah, the Jumbo Cactuar one is quite amusing.
ReloadPsi Oh I Loved the Jumbo Cactaur one. The way Squall is slashing on top and it flails around and goes upside down
That orchestral music^^ Man, this is really exceptional mod:D
Also awesome gameplay:D
Poor bahamut. Never as tough as his ruby dragon lackies 😭
Bahamut, doomtrain and Gilganesh should be the only gf of disk 3. It would be so cool get a summon Gilgamesh with 1/4 probability to instant kill an enemy but never a boss. The two other gf should be Ultima Weapon and Griver on disk 4. Griver was obtained after the buttle with Ultimecia, there were some bonus quest after game. Olso on disk 2 Edea used Akexander to fight during the battle. Livithian obtain after a cave opened on the secret lake quest, but you need disk 2 to obtain it. Siren obtain through a battle in the third dream disk one, or on disk 3 on Lunatic Pandora.
The Ragnarok was the coolest airship of any final fantasy... well that's my opinion anyway. The thing was like a dragon space ship... I mean, that's badass ya know!?
What did "have you seen the light...?" mean anyway? XD
I miss squaresoft final fantasy games.
Absolutely amazing ^^. Do you mind sharing the upscaling process to see if we can apply it o FF9's backgrounds as well?
Thanks. :) I can, but there are others already working on that. forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=17490.0 Two people so far are using two different upscales. One is waifu and the other is the own persons method. But, if there are any others interested, I'm just using PuPu to export/import the files, "waifu-caffe" to upscale and what settings you use all come down to preference. The only notable difference with mine is that I'm upscaling the alpha channel separately then applying that to the images for accuracy. (Less graphical bugs.) But doing this takes so much longer than Omzy's method, I bet.
Yeah, that's precisely why Im asking. Fraggoso's uspcaled backgrounds seem way too waifuy/watercolorly to me, that's why I was wondering if we could use your technique for FFIX as well.
I've noticed. I think the reason behind that is they are using RGB mode, which gives good colors but makes everything look like plastic. Two, they are using too strong of a filter which add to that plastic look and wipes detail. Me? I use "upPhoto" mode. First pass, no noise filter. Second pass, level 3 noise filter. Which results in what you see.
Hmmm, interesting. If you want to you could do that to one FF9 background just so I can post it and show the difference? Thanks for the info anyway !
I wouldn't mind trying it out. But, uh... I actually don't know how one goes about getting the fields as I've never looked into it. :P No problem.
That's a nice-looking mini map!
Props to Mcindus on that one. :)
Thanks! :) I'm glad people out there notice and enjoy my details :)
Oh I want THAT!!! Very nice
I would love to play this!!!
I love the music from the Maschine
original music way better, where is the snare? That was like the best part.
You did not catch Eden from Bahamut
Eden isn't here. It's from the alpha weapon that's below
The optional bosses in this game should have triple speed and random counterattacks like Ozma.
Ozma is a jok to omega' weapon
Zell is the best
Zell is the beast.
Why can't you run in the room with that light going on and off? It'll summon a monster to stop you or something?
It will continuously summon Ruby Dragons if you run when the light is active.
R- Yikes...I'm guessing the Ruby Dragons are extremely powerful?
@@gamerhero9559 They can be when fighting multiple. They have a decent amount of health regardless of your level and can cast some nasty status ailments.
R- Yikes...
Why not Renzokuken? Just WHY?? It will be over in 2 turns with it.
Haqi Kusanagi I meant to until Rinoa used Invincible Moon.
Because Zells final heaven is ludicrously good looking.
Lionheart will chew up Bahamuh like breakfast
1 cast meltdown 2 cast aura on squall 3 win
Does this mod also enable you to use the d-pad on an Xbox controller? I found that this game only responds to the analog stick, and yet you can still only move in eight directions.
ReloadPsi Sadly not. All it does is add the icons so you don't have to guess the buttons via controller. If there was/is a way, I would be the first to jump on it.
FatedCourage I've been using Joy2Key instead with a SNES controller - I assign the A button to the A key and so on then leave the game in keyboard mode. That way the button prompts are all still correct.
The feels.
9:23 How did you get The game to show the ACTUAL buttons on the 360 controller? All mine says is NUMBERS. Pretty hard to use deul when my controller has Letters, like it SHOULD, and the game shows NUMBERS.
I used Tonberry and Mcindus's mod here. Link in the description for that. But you can also change it out this way too: forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=18158.0
Bahamut REALLY doesn't like Zell, does he?
Who likes him?
Forgot him
That font looks like it was scraped out of some 1980's bargain bin sci-fi movie.
Your opinion. Still, I use different fonts in other videos. Maybe one of those would better suit your tastes.
I picked that font because it specifically doesn't add hard pixelated edges to the game if you're not using Anti-Aliasing or GeDoSaTo - and if you use AA, this font upscales very smoothly and doesn't leave floating pixels like the other fonts do. If you don't like that font, there are at least 2 other fonts available with a folder swap :)
zell is cloud x tifa son...martial art with blonde spiky hair
Ito Kun
What? Funny enough that Zell looks taller more human like and i can distinguish his knees from the legs... not a smashed 80s RPG characters 😂😂😂
only thing i didn't like in this game was the limit break system and the draw system I'm too careful of a player for the limit break, and didn't like the grind with draw.
Ive said it before and ill say it again, the only thing any old final fantasy game needs is a HARD mode. Its a damn shame that with all the HD remakes that came out for FF 7 through 10, none of them have a hard mode, and im pretty sure at this point most of us can beat them all without dying once.
music sounds dumb
graphics look dumb
text looks stupid
HARD mode. Seriously
Retro Renaissance You're not looking hard enough then. There are plenty of mods out there for all those game (except FFX) that'll give you a challenge and more than what developers will do. As for your opinion on these mods... Well... Whatever makes you feel better.
Or do the challenges. ie magic, only 1 character. base weapons, no relics/accessories, no learnt spells/skills.
FatedCourage i never said i was looking at all, i said id prefer the actual developers to do this.
and whenever someone criticizes an opinion by saying "whatever makes you feel better", theyre just trying to make themselves feel better
Well... I doubt that'll happen. Square will always give the bare minimum.
I only say it that way because you haven't really done much criticizing. Insulting, sure. I prefer feedback. We can do better with that. Opinions like "dumb, dumb, stupid" does nothing for us. And when someone gives myself, or others, a lackluster opinion I typically give an answer with the same amount of effort. Well...minus insults.
I remember on my PS1 save I did this at lvl 99 and I grinded to the point where Squall was 100% maxed. So I solo'd Bahamut with Squall XD
nice mods, but you don't know how to use Zells limits. As far as i remember is : boya > heel Drop > boya > Heel drop > boya drop > heel drop till its 1.7 second left then alternate match kick with dolphin blow and then special move meteor strike, my final heaven or the other two i cant remember their names; if you do the special moves with 5 second eft you miss the opportunity to inflict serious damage. I level up zell and squall with infrit power up so at lvl 100 they kick serious butt.
I do... I just don't like spamming the same moves constantly. While it's optimal for damage, it gets very boring. So I just do moves that I know take me to the finisher. Well... Most times. :P
Disculpa pero tú forma de jugar se me hace muy novata! No usas la magia ni las habilidades al máximo ni los ítems o objetos!
Thx for sharing, Im kind of disappointed by the rmk. I have the 1999 pc version.
Aside from characters model having a little upgrade and the menu, Bahamut and the rest looked exactly the same.
At least its more work then they did on FFIX version with the ugly battle menu and lesser quality then ePSXe emulator can achieve. Squareenix is so out for ppl money...
Trance Kuja Remake? The Steam version is just a port of the one you own. With a few mods. Square is lazy... And they did more work on FFIX...which is why it looks worse in some aspects. :P
The remix music is awful
Maybe if you have awful taste.
Meh... Everyone is entitled to their opinion.
They were the orchestrated version from Nobuo Uematsu himself.
I actually almost never like the orchestra remixes of FF songs no matter who makes them. Lmao. Its not that they arnet good but they usually sacrifice a part of the instrumentals that the original uses to fill in the song nicely.
lying asshoe For me, it's a mixed bag. Some orchestral versions I do think sound better. Like "The Oath". And some I find lacking due to what you described. Like "Love Grows". It's personal preference, sure. But you aren't wrong.
Mod is awesome but the soundtrack remix sucks
MX Media I hear this constantly... But these are my tracks, so no one is even forced to use them. These are for my game.
Edit: But thanks for the compliment on the graphical side of things. :D
FatedCourage some are ok but others are like wtf.....
I have to say this, being a big fan of FF8 and someone who completed all the side bosses/content, she's not very good at the game lol that's not living on the edge, that's poor planning..... Really at this stage in the game she should of had stocks of Aura+Triple (Never leave players nearly dead for the sake of Limit Breaks) and single healing at this stage is pretty bad, plus Gilgamesh!!! Either she didn't know or she purposely didn't get him and kept Odin, mehhh not trying to be harsh.. Just mehhh fairly bad style of playing at late stages in the game really, each to their own i guess.
SlyFox UK I was mainly joking about everyone's low hp. xD But I'm guilty of spamming limit breaks, too. This save file is also before Lunatic Pandora. As that's as far as she had gotten and I didn't feel like getting Gilgamesh at this point as he is mostly useless. But she is actually a better player than I am of this game. She did have auras (Rinoa) and triples (junctioned to everyone).
Ahh sorry then hahah, i retract my "she's bad" then :P
On any type of boss i was instant Triple Aura on everyone, and never entered a battle half dead tho :D How did she have all level 100's before LP? Action Replay/Trainer? or is she a mega farmer? :P
SlyFox UK Nah, it's all good. She plays FF8 correctly. Maybe she just forgot to heal here. I play aiming to be OP. And, like you, am a big fan of Aura/Triple. So I can murder my enemies. Haha. I try not to to play "fair" but I end up doing it even in my videos. :P
the fact she had low damage to begin with tells me she doesnt know how to play the game...no meltdown nor anything that shows more than 6k damage at that point tells me no card playing...or very limited. Quake and tornado are some of the most powerful ways to increase damage and 3k 4k damage is not those damage outputs. So no she wasnt playing correctly. No offense.
