Hi everyone! I'm a big fan of FFs on the PS1 and a hacker/modder/translator from Russia. Here's my graphical hack on Final Fantasy VIII (PSX).
The main idea of the hack was to make faces of some of the main characters look better and not so drastically outdated.
Hack features:
1. New faces/eyes for Squall, Rinoa, Quistis, Seifer.
2. New outfit for Quistis.
3. Removed censorship from Gerogero boss, returned his look from the original Japanese version (in-game model and card for the Triple Triad).
4. Removed censorship from Armory in Ultimecia's castle, restored red blood from the Japanese version.
5. New portrait for Shiva in the GF menu (the original one wasn't very good IMO).
6. Couple of minor changes.
