Play the game in the aspect ratio it was intended and designed for??

They ruined the grey selection background in the process. Now it's all super pixellated underneath the letters.

Don't forget Square is not the one at fault here completely. Yeah they published it, but Silicon Studios did the port so always through the fire at Silicon not Square, because we all know if Square did the port themselves the will be no need. Look at FFXII, perfect example what could have been possible for FFIX. Unfortunately things didn't happen that way.

But alas, there always a fluke where when money starts getting involved with mods (yes donations), greed and instability....
I've seen it happen the past 7 years of modding. Which s why I left them and now, once EMR is completed, my days with modding have reached it's expiration date. (The end).
I had to start putting this into my own work, my own game.
Speaking of EMR, I do have an update for Albeoris related to Memoria/Hades Workshop here.

You are delusional if you think SE would've actually put in effort to make this port great if they did it themselves. They have proven time and time again they don't give a shit and just want a quick buck. Projects like X/X2/XII are exceptions to this rule. (And FFXII was full of corner cutting in ways that were not on X/X2 and had a host of other things it could've done so much better.)
They always have the final say and they could easily make SS do a better job, and give them a bigger budget. But they didn't.

If you want to see the work of a company that cares, look at Blizzard and SC Remastered. That is how you handle old, low res pre-rendered remastering.

To sign event objects add these lines to the Memoria.ini:

[Debug] Enabled = 1 SigningEventObjects = 1

Yes, It works anywhere. Including chocobo's forest if you know what I mean. ;)

My god, that is a particularly ugly and badly upscaled background on the picture. So sad they didn't have the resources to repaint backgrounds.

Resources? No, they have the resources. They've probably got dozens and dozens of artists at their disposal and more they could hire.

Square Enix doesn't give a fuck is the problem(And it's this way with 8/10 FF Ports these days). They know they can do less than the bare minimum and people will shower them with money out of ignorance or fanboyism. It's perfect business.

Hello guys!
We are sorry that for a long time there was no news.
But today there was a significant event - I finished to rewrite the game engine. Now we can change any aspect of the game!
I will try to share the new version in a month's time. I have to transfer changes from Memoria and optimize code.

Amazing. Can't wait to see what you do. FFIX deserves better!

Also: Make sure to backup current builds people. Less Square Enix in their infinite incompetence and stupidity fuck it up.

If you can make this work. It opens up the game to become the definitive version it deserves to be.

Looks good, but honestly. Lenna's hair just looks kind of off to me.

The official sprites capture the original intended look better to me.

The curl back starts towards the ear in yours, where it should start at the tip of the forehead/hair line. (Head feels like it would need to be slightly bigger to get it closer to the original artwork)

Where as you capture the face and eyes better.

Similar with Bartz, the big split in the hair starts too far back. Makes his skull is missing a part in that gap. That split should be at the tip of the front of the skull.

Just some constructive feedback. Keep up the good work.

If you could, you'd be my hero. Getting around that ridiculous tiled background crap would be a miracle.

If the difference is visible to the eye, which it is. Then why not? Of course, the UI itself needs to be made more like the original game. Someone was able to do it for FFIII somehow.

Storing these backgrounds as tiles in an atlas was fucking stupid for a brand new from scratch port in a modern engine. That's something that should've changed. Makes sense on the PS1. But not in a modern port.
