Why be nostalgic for what is effectively a pixelated mess?

I am not against the result from a particular older technology since that was basically state of the art for that technology at the time but if at a later date the game is improved by various techniques to be closer or on par with modern day games then I am all for it providing the gameplay remains the same or has preferably been improved.

Of course, the downside is the fact that the graphically improved game normally requires payment to the people who did the improvement. If people don't like paying for an old game that has improved graphics and possibly gameplay then they can always play the original game that they purchased.

and now u expect me to write a serious answer or something?

the whole idea behind nostalgia is that it's something from the past that you hold dear for whatever reasons. and your definition of a pixelated mess is clearly different from mine. If you would have played the games that are classics nowadays and would have played them when they were in their prime, you would feel different.

Are you really that oblivious that you are implying i have a problem with paying again for ff9?

That's because it is a smartphone game that was ported to the PS4.

Yeah but I've never seen it so I'm appreciating it now :)

What I heard was that the hard drive crashed and those few are the ones that are left. Hopefully a bad rumor. Would be awesome with a real reamster in the future. Modders on the pc part has done a great job though.

Nah dude, those are the only ones that survived. Almost all the rest are lost forever.

I've always loved ff9s backgrounds. They put so much detail and effort into every screen. I was disappointed that they didn't improve them for this release.
The ones on that link are amazing!

Square Enix is a cautionary tale. The have some of the oldest fanbases out there a instead of giving them what they asked for, the strung them along so hard that they no longer sale what they once did because their audience is literally dying off. And even when they finally got around to doing FF7 you can feel that while good, the game is lacking the polish it deserves. It is can be clunky, slow, and fights you for no reason with layers of artificial difficulty masquerading as challenge.

im sure a Vivi Model would be very popular. ha
