Anon, I need your help. Wanting to play VIII again, but haven't touched it since childhood on PSX. Which version is the best, if I don't have a functional PSX? Emulated, Steam/PC OG, or the remaster?

Bonus bantz, name any FF character worse than Irvine.

Who is the Supreme Edgelord of FF; Squall or Cloud?

How broken is the remaster? Some of the shots of the characters look pretty kingdom heartish

Remaster + demaster mod + Project Angelwing: Ultima Remastered + BattlefieldPack: Ultima Remastered = best version

I mean is he worse than zidane? they're basically the same character... but with a monkey tail instead of a cowboy hat.

>Which version is the best
just replayed it on ps1. honestly I don't think any of the "remastered" features are worth it. if you want no encounters just level up diablo. the ign guide was pretty good if you get lost.

does anyone like the original 3d models better in any of these ff remastered games (7-9)? I know the upgraded models look better, but they look so fucking out of place compared to the ogs when most of the background scenery and objects haven't been upgraded...

Dude the point of FF7 is that cloud isn't a badass edgy femboy

If you want to play the antichrist of gaming then there's pros and cons to each version. If you don't have a CRT/PC strong enough to run a CRT filter then just play the remaster

Thanks brother. I'll check it out. Was about to pull the trigger on the original steam release otherwise, since the blurred backgrounds and character models appear in jarring contrast. Will the demaster unfuck twink squall from the remaster or help the backgrounds?

>>9261335
Yeah I read about all the cheater booster shit and thought who TF wants that trash? Maybe the x3 speed. But no encounters without earning it? Fucking lames. I did get it from Diablos way back in the day (appreciate the nostalgia hit!)

Emulators run pretty well these days. I had my share of OG psx when I was a child. I can appreciate your sentiment, but I'm a big boy with money but no time now (to hunt down original hardware)

I like the HD version because of the new models but I never played the original.

when asking "which version is best?" 99/100 the original is it.
emulate a psx with duckstation and play it for free

PS1 with a Pocket Station is all you need to experience the game fully.

Was there ever a mod that would change game balance and gameplay into something where using magic would be more useful than junctioning it?
Easily the biggest downside and I hopped at least remaster would fix it or at least had mods but cant find anything.

Its amazing how much a good game can lose with retarded gameplay choices.

FF8 by having system where junctioning 99 magic to a stat would allow you to create undefeatable squad and using magic would make the game actually harder.

Valkyria Chronicles where only move count matter so you are forced to just scout rush.

Ni No Kuni with its retarded battle system that made me drop the game at first fight with shadar.

Just emulate it.

By the way, all the characters in ff7 besides cloud, tifa and barret. At least he actually does something in the plot.
