Funny thing is in my memory everything looked like in the footage on the right ;)
That explain how our memory can improve the whole experience!
@Elvick it's a strange change. I really don't understand why they thought they need to cover her beauty a little ;)
@@KalinhoPL apparently they believe some people will mistake what's between her legs for the beaver bush instead of feathers while Shiva remains untouched. Like people can't tell the difference between a thing of feathers covering an entire private area and a patch of hair with the adorable kitty mouth right underneath it.
They also pulled up Rinoa's shirt more too because apparently to them and show too much cleavage.
Plus they're taking the same stance that Sony has now so they changed it for no good reason than to appease them.
I thought it was her bush
That cause due how eye brain conection work. Eyes see only half of thing and in head brain added computed generated images to that bad images so you see normaly. So original FFVIII visual is like a RAW image that see you eyes and Remaster version is like you brain extrapolates it. So you can see the pixel on originals file, but in you memory brains extrapolated is as remastered already. :-)
I lost my brother a year ago. We used to love the brothers GF animation and think it's hilarious, and seeing it again was super nostalgic and made me smile and think of him. So thank you for that.
Sorry for your loss. True bonds between people is hard to get by. I am not in good terms with my blood family because all they think about is money and they will use others to obtain it. In truth, life is about loving others and having bonds with them. You cant take money in your grave as they say but the memories of love remain.
Robin Horgan 😩 Oh same here,, I lost two of my brothers & we to grew up loving FF7 & FF8.
And when I first saw the game play of FF8 Remastered through PS4 shareplay, it actually brought tears 😢 to my eyes.
But Great game & love that it has been released again on PS4 😄
@@gameshark427 Damn, I'm sorry for your loss. :( It's rough when you lose family. So many nostalgic old games bring me back to the past.
Oh man Im so sorry about your loss! I can't imagine myself in a world without my little brother. Well he isn't little anymore but to me he will always be lil bro until we're 90.
I share a similar experience with the brothers GF. We used to rename them after our last name hehe having this game remastered is special to me. So many fond memories playing it as a kid on ps1
i am sorry for your loss man
Played this when it was brand new in 1999 - feels like a lifetime ago. VIII remains to this day, my favorite Final Fantasy of all-time. Get kinda choked up, feels like so much of my childhood is tied to this game. Thank you for all the tremendous amount of work this took. Seeing this all again really took me back.
What a time the 90s were for gamin. Unreal
same here, im so attached to it and its precious memories that still prefer the pixelated psx version above all, those new 3d models kinda feel out of place.
22 years later and some of these summon animations STILL give me chills. Probably my favorite version of Odin in the entire series. I'm so glad I got to live through and experience the golden age of gaming.
3:00 fricking awesome! this game had the BEST summons!
Diablos is an all time favourite 💕
@@carliiuxiiz diablos is by far the most bada** in 8's version
That black energy ball reminds me the energy ball that Baby Vegeta launched on Goku
FR I WANT A REMAKE AND MEET THIS DARK GUY AGAIN HES MY FAVORITE
even the name itself is Badass Cool
Very well made and clean video, thanks for the time and effort making it!
Thank you very much
Shiyoken :).
Not sure how much work went into compiling this video but I’m sure it was substantial, THANK YOU, was great to see the comparisons side by side.... now if only someone can show the monsters in the same way cause there were a couple of them that looked great after remaster
Yeah. A good example of that it's during the Doomtrain summon. That monster looks amazing.
Finally Eden is clear and is not a chaotic cocktail of pixel 😌was the only needed a rework all the others were quitely fine
Chaotic cocktail of pixel is my fav word for old game now.
I love these summons, even in the PSX version they would look amazing. Maybe not the textures, but the ideas and the camera angles, made them look great, and the do still today.
It's actually pretty impressive how many GF (aeons, eidolons, guardians, summons) etc. You get in 8 compared to all the other games ☺
In FFVII they its much more. :-)
@@Bynk333 actually there's only 15 in VII, whereas there's about 22 in VIII, if we don't count Angelo, Griever or Tiamat.
@@kaitoudark1 Really? I already read 16 of them. But you can still have more copie from the same sumon. In VIII theres 16 too GF and 6 non junctionables as well.
True I agree
@Timmy P exactly. VI was crazy with the Summons. As was IV. LOL
Quetzalcoatl's lightning still looks the best in the original. Much more powerful.
Not only that, it also *_sounds_* more powerful. The sound design in the HD remaster is all kinds of fucked up for some reason.
Hey don't forget Siren/Sireen! Better in original and PC.
@@Maverick2736 The sound in the remaster is finally correct. Both the 1999 and 2013 PC ports had his sound accidentally replaced with Phoenix's summon sound. The remaster fixed it to how it was on the PlayStation. If you listen to the sound during Phoenix's summon here, you'll hear it.
Probably because you think lightning with extra jagged edges has more zap.
It really does. I was actually thinking watching most of this that the remaster looks better by comparison than I thought it was at a glance - most of the models and stuff are a lot better - but there are a few little effects like that, Odin's cold breath, Eden's static, that either don't seem the same in the remasters or in some cases aren't present at all, weirdly enough
I loved how you edited the video like it was an in-game fight, great work ❤ I get so nostalgic with this game, it made me cry 😭❤
It was an ingame fight
7:00 - Tonberry’s lamp wins the most improved award.
Now it actually looks like a candle instead of a lipstick. :D
yes, but his clothes had better texture even in the psx version. That´s unexpected
I was just in awe when I first played this in 1999. Still my favorite Final Fantasy.
I love this game so much that I don't care what the graphics look like
Your are a true fan then. If I get rich, I'll make a game like ff8 and use the money earned to create a orphanage called Balamb Garden.
That’s what was so good about the Nintendo and ps1 era final fantasy games. They could’ve used stick figures and would still be my favourite games 20+ years later
My favourite FF are 7, 8, 9 and X. I have passed a lot of hour in my childhood and I cried because they are awesone game, maybe the best videogame saga in the world with gameplay, graphics, theme, battle and story😍
Now i like the 12, but in it's version Zodiac Age and play without gambit sometimes, but it can't enter on my favourite.
Now I think, the FF saga, after the 10 have lost it's magic. They are change too much 😕
I even playing ps1 version now
5:23 rinoa's hair disappears XD
WOW! She look better without it, they should keep that now. :-)
Try invincible spell on her..
It will mantain that looks untill the effect gone.
If recall right to those having tiny hair on forehead will be have this look as well.
Example 01:07, 06:34
1:31 Sirens Pubes Disappeared!
My childhood, remastered
Well, "remastered"
Not really remastered
Shiva basically only got herself a thicker eyeliner. You do you girl. 👏
lmao!!
maybe it's maybelline.
Why so cold
She also got.. rounder. Or perkier. One of the two.
She looks attractive
Wow, I didn’t know I needed to watch this video until I’ve actually seen it. Seriously dude, thanks this compilation was exceedingly great- I mean the ‘next summon’ in the top right corner... you’re an editing genius!
Thanks :)
When you consider that Square lost the source code for FF8...the remastered version is actually pretty dope
They probably de-compiled it but that still means a lot of time figuring out what obfuscated variables done. I'm sure it was a labor of love.
Funny enought they actually lost the source code for several other games as well and had to rework those to remaster them.
I've been talking to some of the modding community for both FF8 and FF7 for the past couple of months. Part of what enabled them to release the remastered version is that they copied and in some cases straight up stole assets directly from some high profile mod authors. The modding community as a whole is somewhat split on their opinions of the remaster but the general consensus is that modders essentially did a better remaster LONG before squenix released theirs and in some cases did squenix's work for them.
CrypticSilhouett you can’t steal what’s already yours.
@@paulnoland8701 let me give you a nickel and come back taking it from you after you passed 5 years making it a dollar
The best FF in my opinion. Characters, story, summons.
Story is a lil debatable but the rest, absolutely lol.
I agree, but i only liked this one and 10 anyway. 10 had better weapon customizing, battle system and leveling up system though compared to 8
@@TheShadowfan9000 story was the best part of this game to me.
8 is literally the BEST
8 was the last FF that captured my imagination to the point where I actually felt immersed into the world. 9 was trash, X and X-2 weren't bad. Haven't played any of them after X. Been enjoying going back to my favorite PS1 game after 21 years, so hard to believe time goes by this fast.
Back when Shiva wasn't a freaking ridable motorcycle
You do know XIV and XV are a thing, right?
They misunderstood when we said we wanted to mount Shiva...
@@SethJV underrated comment
@Lee Griffiths They were awesome but why turn them into autobots?
@@tangy4413 At least they didn't play the cardgame while riding a motorcycle
My first final fantasy and my first jrpg in general
Me too😁
Same, after this I play FF9 then FF7 my favorite one.
mine as well, iloved it back in 2000
Bang Dod Gamerz same here👌
7
I want some of whatever they were on when they designed Eden
Y send some my way too x)
Thank you for the hard work.. it was an amazing comparison..
Best comparison video, same timing, same field and same monster most of the time, respect brother!!
I wish they had remastered the backgrounds and worldmap.
Same.....for that i still play the steam version with HD mods for all game, and i mean ALL.
Check them out again. They didn't do much, But there is some stuff here and there they cleaned up. at least in the battle backs. little more anti-aliasing, slightly cleaner textures.
8:30 Boko: Huh? Where am I? Oh! I got work to do! *Kweh!*
Enemy gets crushed.
Fat Chocobo: Huh? Did I sit on something?
Odin, Alexander, and Eden all seems to me to have had the best upgrades in terms of extra fine details. Anyone else agree?
Brothers has a lovely graphical upgrade to them IMO. From the more detailing on the armour, down to the more fur-like face of the bigger one, as well as his horns going from a plain red to a more pale red with detailing.
They definitely have the Brothers a nice new look.
@@BYERE And they added in teeth!
"Okay, how long do you want Edens animation to be, and how much damage we talking"
"Yes"
Somebody thought FFVII's Knights of the Round summon wasn't long enough...
Dam the lightening in the Original LOOKS WAY better than other two.
The hell are you on? The remaster improved on the particle effects way more than the original at least they got that right besides the horrendous backgrounds.
Thank you so much for uploading this!!!!! 🤩🤩🤩
The graphics on the right are definitely better, but the sound... Man, PS1 had the best crushing/lightning/fire sounds for the GFs.
Original PS1 version had echo/reverbration. PC version had it removed somehow.
This! I saw a video for the remaster and noticed a lot of sounds missing. You just can't forget that kind of sound design.
Thanks for saying that. I thought I was going crazy as I played through it. I thought maybe I had imagined it or something; I knew Quetzacoatl's lightning sounded much better!
I thought Diablos used to sound a lot more sinister.
Didn't expect to shed tears now and then throughout the video. Very nostalgic.
Side note, the beards of Brothers and Odin are much pronounced. -0-'
Eden is the most extra thing I have seen in a JRPG yet. It even has Sephiroth's Supernova in its "control room." What in the world is that thing? o_0
Thx for uploading. Interesting in this comparisons for me is that the 2013 PC version feels more like a Remaster of the original while the remaster version is like almost a complete design change, if you look on the heroes for example.
1:45 no clam shell in remastered.
I noticed that. If it was a "problem" with Siren how come they didn't fix/change
Shiva's lower area? They should have just left everything alone.
@@riverguy75 Didn't matter if it was animated nudity, the problem was it could be questioned as such, so must be subsequently removed (if I had to guess a reason).
@@Oneaphelion I can see your point. I thought Siren was tastefully done.
She along w/ Shiva and Diabolus are my favorite Guardian Forces. : )
Clam shell? I always thought they were pubes lol
@@cdreamworld Then it did look nice before and she should have not shaved it off.
I want to thank you deeply from the bottom of my heart as seeing this video has sold me on why i 'can' buy the game again. Still having the original disks, the first steam release, until i saw the actual side by side footage like this i thought i should just give the 'remastered' version a miss but now if feeling especially nostalgic....or its on sale, heh, i'll definitely buy it.
Press Select and rapidly push Square. If you get it, you are a pro gamer
Just remember to have your GFs learn the "Boost" ability when you first get them. Man, when I discovered that little trick, it made boss fights so much easier.
I bought a turbo controller specifically for this reason.
Eden ftw xD
I totally didn’t even know this remaster was a thing! I loved FF8 when I was a kid. First JRPG I played, quickly followed by FF7. Thanks for the knowledge :)
I remember mashing square like a maniac to get full power attacks
Obviously, the Sumon Magic abilities +10/20/30/40 work the same or better for my without smashing anything. :-)
Just open your PS1 disc tray and you can have all the time you need without smashing those buttons.
@@stopler How? 255 is maximum?
And you become crazy when accidentally pressing the square button when the X is on the icon and have to start all over.
@@Bynk333 If you're referring to the trick I mentioned that it's only applicable to PS1 console because you need to open the disc tray while the summoning animation is happening, then the attack animation will pause or hang and you can have all the time you need to max the boost. After that, you can close the disc tray and the animation attack will continue. Yes, 255 is the maximum boost.
Thanks for this! I've seen several comparison videos, but this is the first to do it so cleanly! Really shows the differences. Very cool!
thank you very much kitari :)
I notice Siren had her wings in a more "appropriate" position.
Bastards.
My hero, just bought the remastered. I knew somebody, somewhere would make this happen. Much appreciated.
I feel weird in that watching this I still prefer the PS1 version. The art style just looks better to me with the jaggy lines, though the 4k upgrades are by no means ugly.
Edit: Actually I think I know why. The art assets for the environments don't match the 4k models. That's why they don't mesh as well for me... Had the same issue with 9's remaster.
I had the luck to play those recently remastered games back in the days when they were just released. Displayed on 14'' CRT tv, and to be honest those graphics back then were just as good as those new ones.
Man this is intense. How did you get same monsters, same battles, same set-up for each of the three games for all of the summons? This must have taken so much time to compile but it looks great!
They cut off Siren's bush! How they could?
Perv bastard spotted!!
Society hates to appease straight men which is why they did it.
Censored
@@realamericannegro977 Not sure if you are being sarcastic.
@@TheGameStampede by who?
Had this game for 20+ years and never knew about the moomba, moogle, or chocobo summons. I'm going to replay the game just to find them
they're summoned through items like phoenix, you can find choco feathers in laguna's village in the road where chicobos often cross (there is a chicobo crossing sign there), just wait for the chicos to run and it should leave either phoenix or choco feathers.
the mooombas, i think they're limited items you can obtain through being nice to moombas in the story?
for the moogle..i forgot..it was so limited i used them once to see the moogle and reload
chocobo is easy, however the moomba and moogle are impossible to get in the original( you need a little minigame that was only produced in japanese versions)
you need to play chocobo world for that! I didn't had it on ps1 when i was a child but they put it in the steam version
1) This reminded me how mad i was the first time i played this game about Cerberus (he looks so cool! I had to fight him! And...for what???). Lol then i realized how useful he actually was
2) The astounding lack of detail on Quetzalcoatl and Pandemonium is just made even more evident on the Remaster (those poor GFs lol)
Thanks for this video. Brought back some happy memories. FF8 was the first Final Fantasy game i ever played. I've been a fan ever since
why do i like the original one better than the others ?
Memories , nostalgia. I love the remastered cuz I can see faces. But there's something about the classic PS1 graphics that are so bad they're good and full of childhood memories
becouse Siren got her blond pubes out in the original and pc 2013. In remasted she's coverd up!
@@devilart125 I also think squall looked better remastered in 2013 one, he looks less badass in his remaster to me and to me just lost his edge. Laguna on the other hand still looks cool.
Biggest list of Summons ever, that’s what made this one my favorite.
Squall looks like a typical KPOP idol in the Remaster.
Para crear a squal se basaron en Gackt, un jpop idol.
@@neyneylupin8721 Lo único que detesto del remastered es el cambio de rostro y cabello de Squall y Rinoa, sólo por hacerlos parecidos a los de Dissidia. Sinceramente parecen personas totalmente diferentes.
Squall's model was Teru, a vocalist of Japanese rock band GLAY.
I like how you all complain about his design in this game but liked his look in Dissidia and in Kingdom Hearts when he looked exactly the same except in KH he just had longer hair. Tambien este es el estilo del creador original so salpica y para de joder.
@@rogerarteaga2665 Se te olvida el hecho de que Dissidia y Kingdom Hearts no son el juego original, en esos vale verga lo que muestren, no son canon.
Siren looks so much like Seymour Guado in the Remaster that its scary.
Yes they ruined Shiva for me, not Siren. Shes face is nov not tso prety as was. She has thicker chin now and
big nose! :-)
Seymour went to the other side after Yuna left him at the altar
Wow you captured the same situations on all platforms wow
Only just now in adulthood realizing that Eden was definitely just a DMT trip.
Nice work and thank for the efforts.. btw, I feel lion heart looks worse in remastered, just remodel my weapon and much prefer the PC light blue version where my memories held
Great video, thx for uploading it.
Them feels are coming...
Higher resolution is nice, but can't say it makes a huge difference on the G-Forces.
Seems more important on the characters
The biggest improvement was on Alexander, and lil' Bros beard.
@@joshuadixon4090 big bro actually has teeth. wow.
This is a pretty sweet compilation. Thanks to whoever's made this, for taking the time :-)
Remaster was really cleaned up. I'm impressed with how much they actually improved upon the graphics while still maintaining the spirit of the original
Damn. I didnt even realize the FF8 I was playing on for all those years was that...pixelated. Kudos to the Remaster.
One of the reasons why it looks so trash now is that TV's and screens in general have improved so much. If you watched it on a CRT tv, it wouldnt look anywhere near as bad.
Lol, I always put GF based on Character's behave or name 🤣 I remember put them : Squall - Shiva, Quistis - Queszatscol, Zell - Ifrit (Always fired up), Rinoa - Bahamut (limit break as bad ass as GF), Selphie - Siren, Irvine - Cerberus (supportive character), Edea - Eden ☝️😆
the vision these guys had back then for the summons were unreal even though FF is nintendo during my early sony days i am a PROUD fan of the product this was produced on 😍
They censored Siren's bush on the Switch remake lol
Damn
ooooh but they don't censored selphie panties.
No wonder I felt something was different with Siren since I'm playing the remastered version now... 😂
HA that the switch for you!
It's not only the Switch, it's like that on every system.
I will always believe that FFVIII has the better summons animations and sound effects. They feel much more impactful and grand, it was really satisfying to use them. Quetzacotl was always my favorite one
Odin in the Original PS1 only has the smoke breath
Oh shit they remove that in PC version? (Remaster is only a better PC port) So the Odin is ruined for me, i go with Gilgamesh now then....
Thanks for Video.
I'd almost forgotten just how ridiculous Eden actually was over the years. It's the only GF where you're guaranteed to max out the Boost with time left over because the animation was so long.
This was great bro thanks!
I liked the pc version of Squall’ face @ 1:07 paused
I loved this game. To this day I think it had the most powerful looking summons. And the Sound effects, especially for Diablo are just so goddamn good.
Honestly just so happy that the brothers got teeth in the remake. 😂😂
Thanks! Awesome Video
I never played this game, but I still like the low res PS1 look the most
Brotherly Love will forever be the best summon ever.
キャラだけかよって思ったけど、こうしてみるとちゃんと背景も画質良くなってたのね
this is a great job! Thank you very much
I played this game so many times even a remaster wont get me to play again.
My thoughts exactly
Yeah too tired😂. Maybe if they release android version, i would play it sometime.
Gotta spam that “X” for more damage though 🙌🏻
It never stops being funny how they gradually became more bizarre and exaggerated when you see them in succession. xP
Is it just me, or Quezacotl's lightning effect does look best in the original version?
Feels good to hear original sounds during Quezacotl's summoning. It was triggering me so much that it got replaced with Phoenix' in PC 2013
Squall does not look anything like the original his hair is totally different
Looks like a typical KPOP idol now.
I'd rather like his look in the remaster which stayed more loyal to the original design than his butchered redesigns in both Kingdom Hearts and Dissidia. So bloody glad the remaster doesn't have the damn hip fur or leg cloth which kinda ruined his look in all honesty. However sadly his outfit in FFXIV is the Dissidia version.
Is the NT Model and Laguna is his model lf Dissidia 012. I don't hate his new desing but i really rather the original desing in everyone
Original designs character good.
If you're any fan of jojo and it's avant-gardiness you'd love the gf selections of Final Fantasy 8. This really was the most experimental game in the group. I love the whole game including the flying gardens, I about rejected my skin when I was a kid playing through that game. OMG
How did you get
Moomba and Mog?
How long did that take?
Anno 2019 PC exploit
@@MooLounge that was not the question. And you weren't asked or talked to, so piss off !
How long did it take for the uploader to get them by Angelo Search?
This was exceptionally well-done, thank you for taking the time to record all of these as close as possible. It must have taken a while.
I personally like the 2013 version but the GFs look really good in the Remastered version too. My only caveat was the character models.
1:47 ......... Wait a minute ...... What have they done to Siren ............... That's unforgivable
Jaja censored 😢😢
Thank you! Seeing the side by side comparison only bolsters my choice in buying the remaster. They really did great job. Could Square have done more. Of course. But im happy with it!
oh wow they turned in to kingdom hearts characters!
Edward Tiah same thoughts exactly! Especially Squall. He looks different like just a character from kingdom hearts
I’m still amazed at what the ps1 pulled off. The effects and character models for each summon were insane. In some cases it looked better than the remaster
Doomtrain? I never knew that one existed!!
He’s fairly hidden unless you either look up the wiki or peruse the occult fan magazines
1:45 didn't even realize they censored Siren with like a skirt in the newest version
lame
Awesome video,thanks
They freakin censored Siren, squaregaynix
Awesome vid!!!
Trains, trains. I love trains.
Its so cool that we can get smoother skins and graphics now because that used to bother me a bit in the original FF8. FF7 was so sprit like that it was unnoticeable really but FF8 was trying to be more life like and well ahead of its time. Can't wait to play it again now.
The funny thing is ... only the 3D models are changed ... not the enviroment of the battle ... spezial bigg´s and wedge at tower ... same old things.
Jak dla mnie najlepsza część 😉
They took some detail away from Siren, as well as her muff! WTF?!
Don’t think it’s her muff. It’s a leaf
In fact they’ve changed it because people always thought it’s her muff. Instead of feathers
@Carlos Martínez Lobato lol everybody who played the game back then would've notice it right away.
