Curious if it will be a low effort release like FF7 and FF9 or something more like 12 IZJS. Can't say I'd be interested unless the game had some fixes. Fuck Draw.

[BocoDragon]

But does the music loop?

 

[Designer_Fake]

You know, I knew that it was coming, but I still screamed.

 

[Deleted member 1102]

 

[Inuhanyou]

that looks like FF8 tailored for higher resolutions now...meh

*EDIT*

well, the models now make it look more like a super early non SE PS2 game than a PS1 game, so i guess that's an upgrade

 

[Stefarno]

Finally!

I can't help but wonder what they will they mess up with the port.

 

[Slaythe]
