While I may be a bit behind video-wise, it's still pretty fast for me. So far I've just been tweaking things and trying to make everything something I can be confident with. While it's hard to tell, the characters here are a cross between gigapixel and waifu2x. Gigapixel alone makes the characters look extremely inaccurate. But with a combination I can have more accuracy and sharpness with the right tweaks.
As for the fields and battlefields, it's Gigapixel with Waifu2x for filtering. Then I used an A.I. sharpening tool to remove the blur without making things too unnatural. Honestly... I'm kinda pleased with the results. Almost everything you see here uses a combination of all these things.
So... If this is fine, I plan to continue with everything using these methods. But I do like opinions and all that. So be sure to do that and I promise I'll actually get around to responding this time. :P

![Final Fantasy VIII w/HD Mods (PC/Steam) - To Esthar
Another video for you guys with new and improved mods. Be sure to check those out in the description! This video is also a test to see how the waifu field upscales Im working on look. Sorry for everything being jumpy. Its either the field upscale files being too big or the recording software. Ill be switching back to the Elgato at some point because this software seems to distort the audio a little. More videos to come.
