Final Fantasy Tactics w/ Pete's OGL 2.2

[Noxious Ninja]

I just got this game... yeah, I know it's old and all, but it's pretty fun. The battle system looks extremely deep.

Anyway, on to the screenshots! I think I had 2xSaI enabled for some of these, but then I turned it to stretching. I would love to see HQ3X.

OK, let's try this again... I'm going to split it into two posts to lessen the likelyhood of being disconnected whilst trying to post.

[Wheelman_69]

good but turn those pesky scanlines off please

[Raziel]

err yeah, kill the scanlines

[Raziel]

See ? Much better without scanlines.
2XSAI, 4x FSAA, filtering set on 2.
Though I'm not a huge fan of 2XSAI for psx emulation.

[Raziel]

Oh, small precision, these shots are with Pete's OGL 1.74, not 2.02

[hushypushy]

i want to see that with pixel shaders.....

[kenmasters1983]

sad to say but the shots with the scanlines look MUCH better than yours do i never play with them i always do tv-out and it looks even better than yours do...

[hushypushy]

wow dude, just wow. would you like to put together a coherent sentence? and try not to brag too much about your crapass computer...

why dont you look at the fact that somebody might have a better videocard than you and they can take decent screenshots.

i never see you posting any shots yet you are always dissing, and you are always saying your little MX POS is good. so quit the dissing, maybe post some shots?

Then we definitly don't have the same definition of "Image Quality", oh and, you might be surprised to learn that, TV-Out = scanlines.

[kenmasters1983]

hmm hushy pushy if i knew you right now i'll be kicking your sorry little punk ass why dont you just .

STFU

and quit flaming me you bother some troll..

i was only saying thats the shots look good because of scan lines the lines smooth away some of the blockiness.

and raziel i know tv-out has scan lines but you cant see them thats the trick!!

excellent PQ with out the lines.

[hushypushy]

i never play with them i always do tv-out and it looks even better than yours do...

we werent talking about TV out here were we? we were only talking about the SCREENSHOTS themself. and, whatever, it's fine if you like scanlines better. i like how you, with your crappy MX card, think you can do better than Raziel with a 5600u. maybe you should come back with some shots that have FSAA, 2xSAI at 1280x1024. with your crappy card ill let you do it at 640x480

and quit flaming me you bother some troll..

me, a troll? you are the one that goes around telling people that their shots suck and that you can do better with an MX420.

i was only saying thats the shots look good because of scan lines the lines smooth away some of the blockiness.

no, you werent dude. in fact, you said

sad to say but the shots with the scanlines look MUCH better than yours do

dont try to cover up what you said dude, come on

[Particleman]

I'm not a big fan of scanlines either but I have to say that Khan's shots look better mainly because I dislike the look of bilinear filtering on 2D bitmaps even more. It kind of makes the characters and text look all blob like for lack of a better term. Oh well different strokes for different folks.

[hushypushy]

i just hate scanlines. that's the way it is for me.

[dot|hack]

Different strokes for different folks... oh and ken sounds like a real ass.

[hushypushy]

oh and ken sounds like a real ass.

you think so? at least im not alone

[FLaRe85]

I'm just curious why we're using a 3d h/w-accelerated plugin for a game that uses 2d sprites.

I actually prefer P.E.Op.S. for FFT. The characters look so much better that way.

[hushypushy]

well, i like it with the normal OGL plugin, i get my AA and it looks normal

The sprites play against a rotating 3D, backdrop.

Yeah, that's why I use scanlines, because it makes the 2D sprites look a lot better. And I use Pete's OGL because bilinear filtering makes all the other textures look much better. :P


Anyway, FFT looks like a really great game, but I have a question. Is there any sort of thief class? Maybe it's something I don't get yet... I've been leveling up near the start, and haven't actually progressed far in the game yet. Also, what is the best class for Ramza? Knight? Monk? Something else?

Oh, and my power went out about 1 minute after I finished that first post... how ironic.
