Seems mostly okay to me, just the same good old layout with some unnecessary spacing on menu commands though
I have Windows 10 and tested everything on it.After lots of trial and error I finally have found the cause of this strange behavior. When I set the field models for the non-player characters to "PRP" instead of "Kaldarasha" it will produce the crash. So I'll just play with Kaldarasha models for now (although I like the PRP ones more). Apparently it didn't have anything to do with my audio device after all.^^
Be sure you also download the Game Converter again. I updated it for Catalog 2.0.

[00000001] : unhandled exceptionThey say DirectX11 is recomended maybe they use Tesselation.
The models are noticeably higher in polycount in the update, Zidane is pretty angular in the original and looks much smoother here.
Look at the hair and shoulders.
For everyone who is asking: when its done.Exactly this. A few days more don't make much difference now.^^
Alyza said,she is uploading right now.it might be today,tomorrow or by the end of the week. We waited months, we can wait for some additional days.
Not yet, but almost. I just finished compiling ALL the mod files (I hope). So now it's onto uploading and then writing out the new subscription for Catalog 2.0. Hang tight, we're very close
- Cheat button to refill HP/MP/Limit during battles.
- Cheat button to disable random encounters.
True. Z-fighting issues have finally been eliminated with "modern" GPU plugins (hacks of existing plugins, rather), and 4k+ internal resolutions are also available.Not eliminated, just slightly reduced... I use PetesOpenGL2Tweak with the GTE accuracy hack in my emulator and while you DO notice a big improvement, you still notice there is no actual z-buffering. How good the hack works varies from game to game, though. Maybe some day we will have an ultimate PSX emulator that has actual z-buffering along with anisotropic filtering, HD texture swap support, tesselation, draw distance hacks...
Yes. Also consider we won't have MIDIs for reference, which means we may have to rely on good ol' ear training. And many of the tracks sound quite fine already. Time will tell... Keeping my hopes up for a solid port!
Uhm, the possibility to mod FF9 has been there for a couple years now, there are even some mods around at this forum. Have none of you ever checked out tirlititi's HadesWorkshop in the Tools section? It allows you to edit pretty much everything ranging from items, spells, equipment, shops, party stats, enemy stats, enemy attacks, enemy AI scripts, enemy formations in battle, Tetra Master cards, treasure chest contents (both in fields and on the world map) etc. What more could one ask for? It's like FF7's Hojo, ProudClod, White Choco, Wall Market and Makou Reactor combined! In short, amazing. You have to make isos of your PS1 discs first or (dare I say) download them from somewhere, and you have to make the changes on each of the 4 discs individually which can be a bit tedious at times, but still.
Anyway, great news that it's finally getting a PC release, even though I wished that this happened like 14 years sooner.
Impressive work!Pretty weird considering PCs were more than powerful enough at the time the port was released.
However it seems like that the PSX has more effects as the PC version. It's very noticeable by the limits of Red XIII and Aerith.
Another update: SE discusses fully voiced staff, world map, mini games:My thoughts on this:
http://www.novacrystallis.com/2015/12/final-fantasy-vii-remake-will-be-fully-voiced-staff-discusses-world-map-mini-games/
Nomura: "Basically, it will be fully voiced."I guess this will mean the game will be cut short quite heavily in regard to trivial dialogs. There is NO way they will have every single line voiced that was in the original game. This makes me wonder, why the hell do they present themselves with such a challenge? This is something NOBODY has asked for. I'd rather have all the dialog from the original, with voice acting added for cutscenes. Nobody will argue, even today that the way they did it for FF-X was already perfect.
Kitase:“We want to put the mini-games that remain favorable among fans in as much as possible.”
Nomura: “There were a lot of things from big to small, but we need to consider a bit whether it’s necessary to create them all with the latest technology.”
Nomura: Personally, I’m waiting for Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 and World of Final Fantasy in 2016. I think when they’re completed, I’ll be able to release new information.”
Yay! I get to say something positive: I think this is actually a good thing. The renewed interest in Final Fantasy VII will be win-win for Qhimm's, modders, and projects already released. It's true that a lot of the people introduced to Final Fantasy through this won't want to play an "old" game. But a lot of people - especially those alienated by this "remake" - will.I hope this will be the case, maybe I'm not optimistic enough. Could have to do with the fact that Square Enix robbed me of all my optimism since the initial announcement.
I see no reason why it would not be possible to have a shared worldmap, and other resources, for all episodes. But the worldmap thing probably wont happen anyway...
The way I predict it is more like a FF13 kind of thing. No option to go back. Stuck in episode etc.
Oh... my... god... the confirmation of both Advent Children style graphics and over-the-top hack'n slash gameplay was to be expected, but it's still a big bummer to me. Basically, this remake is now going to be the exact opposite of what I had hoped for (not that I had much hope to begin with, my faith in Square Enix was shattered one too many times in the recent years). That alone will already be reason enough for me to NOT be getting it.And you know what sucks even more? The existence of the remake will discourage people even more to keep modding the original game. Either way, for us original fans it's a sh1tty situation.
But now the additional confirmation that it won't even be released as a full game, but rather in episodes? It's very hard to put my feelings on that into words. It's like my disappointment just hit a whole new level that I didn't even know existed.
What I'm slightly more concerned about is the overall colour (or large lack of) in the trailer. There is a worrying trend with blockbusters of a similar ilk to suck all the colour out of everything to make things look 'cinematic'. To me, it just makes everything look washed out. I get that maybe Midgar is dark and so that particular section's been done on purpose. And yeah maybe a bright purple uniform and blindingly orange hair won't work as well today as it did in the 90s. But annoyingly, they seem to have stolen the art direction from XV, and I'm not sure if anyone at SE has realised that they're separate games. We'll see.
QuoteFINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE will be told across a multi-part series, with each entry providing its own unique experience.
While I'm trying to remain neutral on the remake(even though there are parts of the trailer that irked me), not sure how I feel about this statement. I could be reading/understanding it wrong, but it feels like, to me, it's going an episodic route? I doubt they'd sell the game in pieces(or rather I dislike that method), but knowing SE I wouldn't put it past them. But like I said, I could be reading it wrong.

To be honest, I'm just glad I'm not the only one who thinks this. It's nice finding a place with such similarity in opinion. I thought maybe it was just me being overly critical, but yeah, these are the same complaints I have and I'm just beyond disappointment. I saw someone post a picture of Cloud's portrait from the Nibelheim flashback and compare it with the remake's close up stating they "don't see virtually any difference". Like really?How ignorant does one have to be to not see that difference? If it wasn't for this kind of "fans" there would be a huge strawberriesstorm over the whole art direction already. The sad part is that most of these "fans" didn't even play FF VII back in the day when it came out, if at all. A lot of them only got introduced to FF VII by the compilation and AC and think that's the definitive art direction for every future FF game.
I personally think that there is ALOT of potential for the remake to be great even if it drifts away from the original.Exactly, the game has a lot of potential - all of which they are NOT going to utilize judging by what we have heard and seen so far.
