FFIX is a much more rounded game than FF7. FF7 is implemented very poorly and has numerous issues that have to be corrected. It's no real mystery.
If they mess up with the audio i'm gonna be pissed... While i did love the new updated graphics on the PS3 version of Final Fantasy X, their "remastered" audio was simply distasteful... Lets hope 9 won't go down the same path and IF it does, let's hope there's at least an option to switch between "original" and "remastered".Don't worry about that. Since this port is not being done by any of the main development teams at Square, I don't think they're gonna put that much effort and call Uematsu for soundtrack re-arrangement.
Pre-applied filters look like trash. It's like the originals either A) rendered without compression B) rendered in a higher res.If you look closely you will see the traces left by the FMV super heavy upscaler (you'd be surprised by the quality produced by offline super scalers).
From what I've seen it's like A. The teaser (keep in mind, it's just a teaser so it's all subject to change) is taking crisper looking original source. Still lots of upscaling artifacts in the teaser.
That I'm going to disagree with. The image olearyf linked to cleary shows higher polycount models.At the time the game was developed, it was usual to have reduced quality assets as the end product for a game.
How is it "more probable" that they had higher polycount models since the beginning?
Not with what we saw. Again, referencing the image that you say "agrees & aligns with what [you] said",See point above.
the collar on Zidane's chest is NOT the result of some stock filter. The ruffles have a different shape.
OK, yeah. Backgrounds look like trash. I'm hoping it was just because they wanted this teaser out and just used hastily rendered/filtered original material.I hope so too. I wish they surprise us with the original source backgrounds, but the chance is... near zero.
For a teaser weeks after the announcement it looks like work's being done to move the game to a higher resolution.Clearly what you mean to say with the word "remake" is remaster. It is not a remake. Which is what I was trying to convey the first time.
That's HD remake. I'm not going to say it's 1:1 with the original, but the Zidane model is definitely different.
Can't post this image with the img tags for some reason. Here is the link. Two photo comparisons of in game and then a video of the fmv comparison.And all that agrees & aligns with what I said.

Here is a video where he shows the fmvs comparison at the start but actually syncs up and compares an emulated ff9 to this new one, there is a huge difference in the player models, the font looks crisper and hd, and the backgrounds look a bit less blurry.
Not sure what you're looking at in reddit /final fantasy a guy had screenshot comparison from the video to the ps1 to an emulator. There was a significant improvement on the models, on the cutscenes, and some improvement on the fields, though I wouldn't say significant. Then again it's just a trailer, maybe they did some video editing magic or something, but I doubt it, people would be pissed.I only saw the teaser:
It looks like a true HD remake of the original.Gotta be kidding, right?
Most of you have probably already seen this but for those who haven't, seems like this is gonna be the new menu interface:Seems mostly okay to me, just the same good old layout with some unnecessary spacing on menu commands though (I wonder what use is there for that lower "help" part, have they changed the usual moguri? Noo! Kupó!!!
Looks quite cool to be honest and it looks like it can easily work for both PC and Phone versions of the game, Eiko's avatar looks so much better than the original, love it.

"Better they don't mess up! 
", at least!
That's a really strange change, considering they didn't do any model updates for any other FF game on Steam. Not that I mind it here, but I'm really confused why they've clearly put so much more effort into FF9 than into fan-favorites like FF6 or FF7.
I understand the massive scope of this project, but I always felt all scenes up until the party leaves Midgar could have been achievable and released as a demo showcase for what we'd consider a FF7 remake.I hoped for this too.
) project for the PS International version.There are, of course, ways around this if you are crafty enough.Of course, Mr. Blindman!
Most bosses don't die by their HP being reduced to 0. Instead, if HP < 10000 trigger death script. This is why Ozma has 55535 HP -- he actually has 65535 but he dies when going below 10000 so he effectively only has 55535. You can't scan so you wouldn't know either way. If the boss's HP did reach 0 the battle just wouldn't end/would hang, which isn't a problem since bosses are immune to instant death attacks and other damage doesn't exceed 9999.WTF?! That's so bizarre...
I find it kinda lame that in most battles there's only 1-2 enemies, and the maximum of 4 is hardly ever used.That's certainly due to the limited PlayStation VRAM space for enemy textures during battle.
the battle is usually automatically won when the boss reach 10000 HP, for instance.What do you mean by that? Is it maybe that healing an enemy for above 65535 (HP overflow) automatically kills it or something?

A bridge at a 45 degrees angle, reallyThat's why Shin-Ra sent 1st class Soldier agents there.
They didn't use Kana for Ex-SOLDIER... so maybe that's where it came from.Actually it's shown as this: 元ソルジャー.
My Avalanche one was better anyway...Lol, I've never been as good as you making up these kind of things.
A Vengeful Army of Lousy Amateurs Now Changing History for Everyone.
or so on!
Nah, the whole caps thing looks silly and was only there originally because the Japanese font didn't have lower case letters.Er... nope? Isn't it like this in the original script?
I came up with one last night...That's hilarious AND accurate, lol.
Shin-Ra's Orderly Legion of Deadly Irradiated Elite Reinforcements.
To them it's ok because they have Kanji to mean the normal soldier... all we have is the word. So we have soldiers who are part of Soldier. It doesn't work. In fact, if this had been localized properly at the start (the original English game), it's likely a new name would have been chosen... but it's way too late now. Everyone knows it... it's here to stay.Another interpretation using the ALL CAPS name could be...
It's Aerith who mentions the "rock". But I think using asteroid is our best bet. I'll ask Luksy.Ah yes, it was Aerith. Sorry.
Soldier as in the elite soldiers, part of Shin-Ra
The thing is, though, even in popular culture and on news sites you will frequently see even those that have impacted called "meteors". From a science pov, I'm not sure if it can be accurate, but from everyday usage, it's definitely used. Even if it's totally wrong, it would just be yet another example of the shoddy naming in VII.... like "Soldier".I'd go with asteroid or planetoid there. I suppose Sephiroth is a knowledgeable person, so he probably would not call it erroneously, I guess? Also, what "Soldier" term are you referring to there?
