Final Fantasy VIII Remaster Announced - E3 2019 (PC, PS4, Switch, Xbox One) - Release Sept 3

[BasilZero]

Wow updated character models!


So like FFIX, which is great. (at least it looked clearer to me compared to the PS1 ver).



And its coming to Steam!? So a version that isnt goofed like the original PC release (I already beat it on Steam few years ago) - gonna double dip on PS4/Steam (or in this case quad dip).

 

[AstronaughtE]

Damn it, Square Enix, you got me. I'm not super psyched to start it over again, but you got me.

 

[Masagiwa]

Triple Triad will consume my life when this is out.

 

[Kaivan]

Is that the trailer of the remastered version?

I'm not particularly impressed. Pass.

 

[Hippopuncher12]

Day 1! I can't believe I am going to get platinum trophies for all the PS1 Final Fantasy games. Feels good.

[mysteriousmage09]

Finally!

 

[Weiss]

omg the characters have actual faces now.

 

[Stuart444]

Yay :D sad that we don't have a release date tho :(

 

[Kenichiwak]

Looks good can't wait!

 

[Lethologica]

eeeeehhhhh

 

[JustinBailey]

I'm really confused at the remaster. It looked bad. Lolz.

 

[Suede]

I need more screenshots.

Really happy this isn't just a straight port.

 

[ZeroX]

Is that the Squall model from Dissidia?

All the other characters look great, but he looks off?

 

[Beatofficer]

This is my E3 of dreams.

 

[Deleted member 12352]

Yuuuuuusssssss!!!

Gimme a fuckin' release date, a DATE you fucks!

 

[Deleted member 4262]

Squall looks a bit too feminine compared to his CG model, but whatever looks good. Looks more like his Dissidia self.

 

[BrandoBoySP]

Honestly, I'm going to need to see side-by-sides between this and the version already on Steam. I wouldn't be against playing through this again, but that trailer really doesn't look all that much different than what I already have.

[JuicyPlayer]

With updated models , Squall will finally be the best looking guy here!

 

[Darkness_Nova]

Cannot wait, triple triad man

 

[ZER0COOL]

The second best FF has arrived

 

[Loudninja]

Remaster of a PS1 that the best its going to look and it looks good to me

 

[Deleted member 1102]

I'm still shaking. I'm man enough to admit that I cried. I can't believe it's finally coming

 

[Lukar]

I wonder if the PocketStation stuff will still be in.

[Mr. Pointy]

JUNCTION THIS INTO MY VEINS!!!!!

 

[Slacker247]

Delighted.

I hope they keep the broken Junction system. No lie, I just kinda want that left untouched.

 

[InstantN00dles]

Damn I was just expecting some cleaning up and upscaling, but it genuinely looks really good.

 

[Man Called Aerodynamics]

The new character models look nice.

 

[Poltergust]

Now watch this release also have the music bug.

 

[Ragnorok64]

Hype!!

I'd love if they did a new translation pass but I doubt that'll happen.

Website for the remaster. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

[Deleted member 56773]

I feel like this is a dumb question but....are the FF7 and FF9 releases on Switch "remasters" ? are there remastered version of 7 and 9 at all?

 

[ReDelicious]

Hope they're still working on the backgrounds and such, but even if not there's no way I'm not getting this day 1.

 

[Swift_Gamer]

They need to fix the junction system.

 

[Kinsei]

I'm excited to play Triple Triad HD.

 

[Catshade]

Just curious... is FF 7 on Steam remastered in any way or it's just a re-release of the 1998 Eidos PC version?

 

[TRUE ORDER]

The character models look nice imho.

 

[JustJavi]

Wow, day 1 here!

 

[sir_crocodile]

Sweet. Dunno if it'll be as good as a modded PC version but I'm in anyway, love FVIII

 

[Pandora012]

Triple Triad will consume my life when this is out.

That game was crack

 

[Meows]

I still can't believe this is happening.

After all these years of waiting and I am finally receiving...

 

[Deleted member 32822]

So surprised that the models got redone. Wow.

 

[Aly]

Glad it's coming.

 

[Lucreto]

Can't wait, SE are cleaning me out with this and 1st Class Edition

Click to shrink...

SE don't refer to them as remasters. I'd say they're more or less expanded ports although IX did have better models too.
