This topic is really getting off-topic..............
Skillster :Anyway i have Bleem ,VGS and Espxe I've tried all of them the quality difference is barely noticable. Sometimes I think Square really undermines the users of the PC market. Maybe it's cause they have enjoyed a monopoly on the PSX for too long a period of time.

Qhimm is right though on EIDOS and EA as they only publish it and have nothing to do with porting it.
Come on, EIDOS does a good job porting Tomb Raider all the time, why the heck do you think they would make a lousy port
Besides EA and EIDOS both make quite good games in terms of graphic quality and sound quality i mean.

Actually, here's a list of stuff that should be done for the FF's on PC
1.Resolution's of up to 1600x1200 should be supported (i mean it is only a matter of rendering the textures at a higher res)
2.Movies should be in high res (FF8's ones were quite sufficient)
3.The backgrounds should be rendered in at least 640x480 not stretched out from psx format.
4.The world map should be smooth (I mean like FF7 not like the blocky FF8 world map.
5.Audio for background music should be done in soundtrack cd audio style and be independant of the sound card.
6.PC users should be given the choice of unlimited save game space. (save state might be a good idea but it might spoil gameplay)
7.Full install should be allowed, i mean if PC users have lots of hard disk space, let them use it. (actually this allows better flexibility in editting the game)
8.The game should not only be ported exactly (for eg: DirectX has quite good water effects that can be applied rather than using the normal psx's water effects)
9.Text should also be done in high res (like FF7 not like FF8's lousy low res text, even the high res text looks low res)
10.More Squaresoft games should be ported like FFT, Chrono Cross, Vagrant Story, Legend of Mana. (I mean the PC market has an extremely huge and potential market so it's a good idea to take advantage of it)

No, i meant in normal play not the FMV's
I meant like in the world map.
Actually, FF7PC's world map looks better and is not blocky unlike it counterpart FF8PC. The worldmap for FF8PC also runs slower too.

Well, here's what i have now,
256 MB SDRAM
50X Aopen CD Drive
ABIT KT7 Raid Motherboard
AMD Athlon Thunderbird 1000Mhz @ 1150Mhz

Amy: Okay, well my mistake!

Anyway, I don't find why FF8PC requires more processing power than FF7PC. I mean their both based on the same system, right?

BTW, Qhimm you still havent told us your age!
Come on, no harm done right?

Amy, you obviously havent tried one of those 3d accelerator cards have you? If you try the nvidia patch and play in hardware mode. You'll see fast. Now the motorcycle game is too fast to play on my system.

Might be off topic but this is what i remember of my past.
Well, I've had four pc's throughtout my PC life. My first was am XT with those 3 colour displays. At that time, it was wow, 3 colours. It's one on those PC's you have to boot with a boot disc and with 640k of RAM. Then, came my 486SX PC. It had a 1X CD Drive. Now that was power. Next came my Intel 166Mhz Processor with the all powerful S3 Virge Video Card. Hehe, I played FF7PC on it in software mode! 2nd time playing FF7PC, i used a AMD 300Mhz processor with an Nvidia TNT video card. Of late, im using my new 1000 Ghz Athlon with the same TNT video card. Intending to get a geforce later though!
