Fascinating.
Looking a few pages back, there are several things that I'd like to comment on. I dont beleive the game needs any color correction, it blew everyones mind 10 years ago, and successfully upscaling will do just as well. (to be honest the new style looks a lil less genuine) As to remaking all the backgrounds in 3d... its doable... I could do them fast enough but the real issue with changing the game objects, backgrounds etc. is the scale and style issue. In field, there is a chibi style, in battle and cinematics... no. Things like that must be maintained or you'll have something like the PRP project (which i think looks rather silly). Remaking them in 3d and rendering a background makes it difficult to match up the scale perfectly and would take half the development time on its own. If you can batch upscale the backgrounds thats awesome, if not then I'll be glad to help with a certain chunk of them. As for cinematics... I'd find a great deal of fun remaking those in 3D, mainly so the characters wouldnt look terrible (i accept armature-less models in game... but its attrocious in their "high" poly models).
to Aali, can you get the images back into ff7? If so can we see an upscaled comparison. if not... it up on the priority list?
