Final Fantasy 9 mod makes it look even better than you remember
Gaia has never looked so grand

A fan-made Final Fantasy 9 mod's latest version may make the game look even better than your ro🦋se-colored🅷 memories.
is a total overha♕ul for the visuals of Final Fantasy 9's official Steam version, which was first released in 2016. It uses a combination of deep-learning algorithms and hand-made tweaks to remaster Final Fantasy 9's static backgrounds, animated elements, and NPCs. Where once there were muddy blurs, there is now a beautifully crisp yet fluid rendering of FF9's fantastical world.
When @snouz f🐈irst told me that he was going to redo all the masks, I wasn't thinking he was going to get through it.🐽 But he did! To get you a sense of what it represent, imagine redrawing a mask like this for the 11522 layers of the game... pic.twitter.com/INIITrQrCJ
It sounds like it was a monumental task making sure each background was remastered just right (the backgrounds were made from ), and that's not even talking abou🧸t tweaking all the layer masks so the new elements would sit perfectly.
Final Fantasy 9's flight from photorealism into a more cartoony fantasy was controversial, but it's become better appreciated with time. I can hardly think of any better tribute to the developers' original work than this mod. Way better than 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:accidentally deleting it.
