The video is literally just spelling out what I have been saying about FFVIII.  Check your compression before assuming that just because someone does not agree with you, they are spouting shit.  FFVIII is using the same assets with a smoothing filter and reworked character models.

As for Xenoblade, as I said earlier you can believe what you want.  I have niether the time nor the energy to waste on this tired debate (which is why I made this poll now, and not a month from now).  Any misconceptions you have does not change the fact that the game is being remade with new assets.  No matter how you try to dance around it, it is doing far more than what a remaster or enhanced port does.

Are you for real? You brought up that Xenoblade isn’t a remaster because they redid assets. I counter that with another game in which they redid assets, but called it a remaster, and you say that supports your crap?

LMAO!!!

Your misguided double standards are showing. Which is what I called out at the very beginning.

Reading compression dude.  FFVIII did not rework their assets.  Everything outside of touched up character models are the exact same assets with a filter over them, which is why they are so jarring.  It is stated as such in the very video you posted.

Xenoblade is using new assets in all areas, where FFVIII was 90% old assets.  Everything from character models, environment, architecture, and special effects is REMADE with all new assets.  Your only argument is that animations in cutscenes line up with the original.  That alone does not change the fact that the game is being remade entirely with new assets, something that FFVIII came no where close to doing.

There is no double standard here.  Just you popping in to fight this imaginary "Nintendo defense force" that you claim needs to be in check everytime a Nintendo IP is brought up.  Your own double standard is causing you to talk in circles, mis quote, and mis comprehend information.

I am done talking about this, because it is going no where.  This all started when you came in here because someone mentioned Xenoblade in a remake thread, and that somehow bothered you enough to stir the pot.  I said what I needed to say and called you out on it.  No need to discuss this any further because it is clear that you will drive this convo in a bad direction fast (it is already starting).  Have a nice night, and happy gaming.
