Moguri simply makes the game as a whole better. Other modders have fixed these issues, too, but it's nice to have so many things bundled together in one package. Square's modern ports of Final Fantasy games tend to use bland, ill-fitting fonts like Arial that are easy to read but don't mesh with their games stylistically at all. Others correct some aspects of the PC release that feel like steps back the custom font, in particular, is a huge addition to me. Some of those fixes actually correct mistakes that dated back to the original release on the PS1.
(optional) faithful font: Alexandria by Teaito screenshot. Recreated Start menu and game over screens.
Fixed missing monster death sounds (credit: Tirlititi). HD worldmap textures (upscaled and manually redone, mostly seamless and faithful). Recreated baked in textures NPCs: screenshot. Several bugs from the Steam & PSX versions fixed: screenshots. Seamless scrolling skies & backgrounds, removed 'staircase' edges.
Recreated all places names with original fonts (for English and French, rest to follow). Redrawing of all layer edges (all 11000+). You can get a good look at the comparison between the Steam/PC version and the mod below. Interestingly, they don’t want to get “too upscaled.” No: they’re looking to not have an “oversharp or overclean effect,” so that it feels constant and still true to the original. The mod is billed as a “cleaner, more detailed” version than past “HD mods,” upscaling the game with AI. Calling itself the “most accurate modern take on the PC version,” this mod outfit is using deep learning AI techniques to really get it right. Take this Satsuki Yatoshi Mod, for instance. That’s partially why so many prospective modders are messing with it, even now. Like Chrono Trigger before it, it’s one of the biggest “gateway JRPGs” in history. People will always try and bring back the original classic, as it was a formative JRPG for many folks. ‘Final Fantasy VII | Satsuki Yatoshi Mod’įinal Fantasy VII will never be out of style.Įven if the remaster didn’t happen! Even if the remaster somehow doesn’t have a real end due to some freak accident.
