I think this was already reported on here during the E3 stuff, but it's come more to my attention due to a friend sharing info with me on Facebook. At first, I ignored this news. I thought it was just for the Switch (which I may still get) and I believed that the Steam version was "remastered." But, it seems I was incorrect (please correct me if I'm wrong). I played it a few years ago on Steam and didn't have a problem with it, it looked fine to me. Although, I must admit, I never really complained about the graphics. I know the non-FMV stuff wasn't perfect, but kind of blocky/not smooth, but that never affected the love I have for this game. Apparently the "remake" is coming for all (current gen) consoles and on Steam. It might be something I get, I'm not sure, I'll have to wait and see. Hopefully it won't cost very much (I doubt it will).

The version currently on Steam is basically just a port with a few QoL features. The graphic upgrades in this remaster are VERY noticeable and help a lot. Much of the original Playstation's library hasn't aged well, and this is a fresh coat of paint that makes it more accessible. I probably don't care one way or the other about it honestly. Remake treatment I'd be more interested in, but while this is very cool, it's not something I really need to enjoy that game. Unless it's crazy cheap. Then maybe
Yeah, I think I feel like you. I absolutely love this game, I don't care if it looks like it did on the PS1, that doesn't change how much I love it. It might be nice to play the remastered version, though. I might check it out, we'll see.
A new trailer has been released with a launch date! Sept. 3. https://youtu.be/JbTcLwqheao
I don't think I have a stronger emotional bond with any game that even comes close to matching the one I have with this game. The music makes my hair stand on end and makes my eyes water. I wonder if I will ever care with how it looks compared to more modern games. It will always have a very special piece of my heart. It certainly brings back now old memories!
I liked something I saw earlier that the remake pretty much puts an end to a funny meme. If you're not familiar with it, you can check it out here: https://memebase.cheezburger.com/tag/final-fantasy-viii I think it's a pretty funny meme actually.
