Final Fantasy IV Graphics Update (SNES)

[Samus12345]

If I have already played throu some FF4 Naming Way patch, is there a way to apply this and continue where I left off?

Battery saves should be compatible, just not save states.

[Gedankenschild]

Thanks for the feedback, guys.

Yes, battery saves between vanilla/Namingway and this hack are 100% compatible. You can jump back and forth as you please.

I find the concept of adding more VRAM for significant graphical improvement certainly interesting. But I know almost nothing about it and its potential pitfalls at this point. If I ever did add such a feature it would be in the form of a bonus patch, the main one will always be compatible with standard hardware.

Yeah, I agree on the bonus patch part. Besides...we haven't seen proof of what the extra VRAM brings to the table

Is there anyway to have this mod without the portrait changes but with the bug fixes of the last update? Kinda missing the old portraits 😕

I figured portraits would be a point of contention. I've been wondering how to handle things. Some sort of in-game option would of course be the nicest way, but I can't promise that as I haven't looked into the feasibility of it. Maybe I'll include the asm in the finished version so people can comment out things they don't like...

Do you guys prefer the Pixel Remaster portrait conversions tsushiy made?

hello, Gedankenschild and everyone.
Thanks for the great patch!
I tried to introduce portraits of the pixel remastered version.
Please take care of yourself.

I really like the pixel remaster ones since they are just the original portraits in higher quality.

Don't hesitate to download the Pixel Remaster pack in one of my YouTube videos if you want play into MSU-1

[StrikerTheHedgefox]

Why would it need MSU-1? Seems like trying to kill a mosquito with a thermonuclear bomb.

Maybe the best course of action with the portraits is to make them optional via a secondary patch.

Nothing, just...

Definitely this, it better fits the hack's original intent of adding more colors/detail without changing the style.

I prefer PR ones.

[Dr. Dreadhawk]

I just want to give my 2 cents: The downscaled PSP portraits are way more outstanding from every stand point.


EDIT: The GBA ones also have a very high level of polish.

[CourtlyHades296]

I feel that the main patch should be Pixel Remaster portraits, while an optional patch changes them to PSP portraits.

[AdamDravian]

My preference is for the Pixel Remaster portraits.

Any luck with the backgrounds from The After Years? They seem to match the mobile FF4.
