Looks like DotEmu broke the Japanese version of the game for Windows 11 users with the last patch and had to fix it. Unfortunately, this means DEMASTER must be updated again... Maki is fully aware of the situation and is hard at work making the update. Thanks again and sorry about the delay. As soon

SE has Updated FF8:Remastered STEAM yesterday with a NEW PATCH! This patch fixes the FPS issues that we've been using SpecialK to fix.

Hello wonderful Patrons! You have waited long enough. After over a year in the making, with thousands of hours spent on the project from AI Rendering, to 3D Modeling, to Custom Artwork, we finally bring you, the members: Angelwing-Ultima v1.0.alpha!

Hello everyone! Finally finished with the NPC bakes for the mod in their entirety! Darziak provided new texture placements for the Dollet mission Briefing by Xu, and an entirely new Missile Base Computer Console texture set. I took it upon myself to format them for in-game use, and although it took

For as long as I have been modding FF8, the pre-baked NPCs in the field backgrounds have been a HUGE eyesore. I know a LOT of you feel the same way, and with the release of FF8: Remastered, I know I wasn't the only one who thought that these pre-baked NPCs ripped me right out of my gameplay experien

Hello Final Fantasy fans!! First off, I want to apologize for taking so long to update everyone here, on the Patreon main page. I'm now living in a new place in Los Angeles with my little family.

Hello! Welcome to October in one of the weirdest years in history! I hope everyone is doing okay despite COVID - and wanted to give everyone something to look forward to.

Hello! I know I haven't been very visible with updates for this past month, but things have been crazy!

Hello Everyone! As many of you have noticed by now, the framerates dropped significantly with the new Windows 10 #2004 update! If this happened to you, I've discovered a workaround! You can limit your FPS to 60 via your GPU settings and see if that corrects the issue! If not, you can use SpecialK, a

This is the Battlefield Pack for the 2013 PC/Steam version of Final Fantasy VIII! Textures are 4x (1024x1024px) and have been either upscaled using ESRGAN or custom created.

I've ported my font from SeedReborn 4.1 to the Remastered version. There was an issue where the font widths were not the same as the 2013 version, so I had to make manual adjustments to the lettering to match the current release.

Hello everyone! Just dropping an alpha test pack for the backgrounds that I created for the Remastered version, ported to Tonberry! Simply drag/drop the textures and tonberry folders from the BattlefieldPack folder into your /FINAL FANTASY VIII/ folder and copy/replace/merge the files when prompted!

A few updates! I am very aware of some loading/paging lag when some of the mods load. The first 'fix' that is recommended is to put your game on an SSD instead of an HDD due to the nature of PNG loading/decoding. This will fix most of the lag, but some of you do not have access to an SSD! I wanted a

Hello everyone! Just wanted to fill you in on the new 'taxes' befalling Patrons! I've reorganized my benefits to make sure that everyone gets taxed appropriately, and have hopefully limited the amount of undue taxation due to the proper wording of the benefits involved in the different tiers!
