The legend of Dragoon: Opening 4K (Restored with AI, Machine Learning and Neural network). Aeon 2021-01-16 | This is the Legend of Dragoon Opening that plays in the start menu if before you start playing the game, restored to 4K with AI, this one was a little bit more fast than the previous one thanks to all of the things I'm learning in the process. This is still took sometime before YouTube encoded it to 4K tho. For those of you interested the original video was 320x192 resolution and restoring it to 4K was more than 1000% increase in resolution, because of that, it was quite difficult to get it to look as good as possible, and the first results I got were a little bit off. However I'm quite satisfied with the end results and I think it actually looks better than my previous job on the intro. I think not many people might be interested in this cinematic tho, but I really like it because of some of the scenes from the map, the intro, Dart face, and the song, so I did anyway, hope you guys like it. As said earlier I still plan on doing the rest of the cinematics of the game but given how time consuming this can be I'm not sure how long will it take.

Overall I think the rest of the cutscene looks quite great, so outside of some of those nitpicks that probably not everyone is going to have I think it was a good result. The original was a 512x488 resolution with 30fps, and was restored to 4096x2944 and doubled the framerate with the help of AI on a grand total increase of over 800% in resolution.

Final Fantasy VII - Opening 4K, 60ᶠᵖˢ (RESTORED with AI and Machine Learning) Amazing Results! Aeon 2021-05-18 | Hello everyone! This is the Opening cutscene from Final Fantasy VII, restored to 4K and 60fps with the help of AI and Machine Learning! Support me on Patreon: patreon.com/AeonGFollow me on my social networks:Twitter: twitter.com/AeonmxgInstagram: instagram.com/aeonmxgOdysee: odysee.com/$/invite/@Aeon:cThis was a very fun cutscene to work on but at the same time very slow process, you see there are multiple versions of this cutscene through the history of this game, the original PSX version, the first PC release, the second PC release, and some of the subsequent current gen console releases, all with slightly different resolutions and quality... usually when you want to use AI you want your source material to be from the highest quality possible, so I had to dig up on all the versions to find the ones with the greatest quality and with the biggest amount of details preserved from whatever the Square original was. It took me almost to 2 weeks just to get my hands on all versions and compare all the cutscenes, the general consensus according to the wiki was that the second PC release had the highest quality fmv's and that the first PC release the worst, this was almost the case here, but after careful analysis while indeed the PC version where higher quality (and resolution) than the PSX, after checking frame by frame the scenes I concluded that the PC version was an upscaled version of the PSX with already some blurred details (like the flowers on Aerith's basket for example). After that I went to work not only on the upscaling, but cleaning the image, and also increasing the framerate, the original was at 14.98 fps (rounded up to 15 of course.) So interpolating it to 60 was quite challenging as the AI can sometimes make some mistakes specially when there so little frames in the original. The original was a 320x224 resolution cutscene, so in order to take it to 4K it was required more than a 900% increase in resolution, in this case to 2880x2016, 60fps. After all was said and done, you would think that was everything and so do I, but nope, the original PSX cutscenes didn't have the music playing during the cutscene... sigh... why? My guess is that in order for it to keep the music running once the FMV is finished Square decided to start playing the song from the music files and having detached from the cutscene itself, so the PSX cutscene only had well the background sounds, but no music, and the PC version, knowing that it's a product of the more lazy modern square, I check and yup, as expected they took a halfway, the PC version has the intro part of the song, the Opening, but it doesn't have the Bombing mission part. So I have to go for my cleanest version of the song to fix this, from the Bluray of the FFVII Revival Soundtrack: vgmdb.net/album/86041And after a few test of uploading to youtube to check if it would recognize it properly as 4K, voila! My restoration of the FFVII Opening was done!!! Well almost, I still took the time to try Remaster the cutscene to HDR: youtu.be/6S7O3Tj14ZU Some of the details and story of the problems I encountered for that about HDR that are of course on the description of that video if you're interested.

My guess is that in order for it to keep the music running once the FMV is finished Square decided to start playing the song from the music files and having it detached from the cutscene itself, so the PSX cutscene only had well the background sounds, but no music, and the PC version, knowing that it's a product of the more lazy modern square, I check and yup, as expected they took a halfway, the PC version has the intro part of the song, the Opening, but it doesn't have the Bombing mission part. So I have to go for my cleanest version of the song to fix this, from the Bluray of the FFVII Revival Soundtrack: vgmdb.net/album/86041Once I've done all of that it was the time for the HDR mastering, please be respectful if you have any criticize to make, this is also a long and complicated process and more importantly it's really hard to do without a reference monitor. Don't take me wrong I would gladly buy one if I could, but those are usually on the range of 30,000-50,000 dollars... where I live that's more expansive than even some houses... so please understand the limitations of it.Having said that the HDR process was relatively straightforward in the basic part as I already had some experiencing with color grading on SDR, so with the help of some AI modules I managed to enhance drastically the levels of contrast, light and shadows and the midtones to produce a higher dynamic range image. The biggest problem was however make sure that YouTube would properly recognize the HDR, specially after I uploaded the video with the SDR version side by side on the second half, YouTube seem to have some of trouble understanding that the are two different colour spaces at the same time in the image, this caused to actually increase the shadows (however slightly) in the original in the comparison. This only happens if you check the video in HDR, the SDR tone mapped version doesn't have this problem, so this is on YouTube side and there is very little I can do about it right now. And after a few test of uploading to youtube to check if it would recognize it properly as 4K HDR voila! My restoration of the FFVII Opening was done!!!

Castlevania: Curse of Darkness - Hector meets St Germain 4K, 60ᶠᵖˢ (RESTORED with AI.) Aeon 2021-05-15 | Hello everyone! This is 4th Castlevania Curse of Darkness Cutscene, Hector meets Saint Germain on his way into the Garibaldi Temple, restored to 4K and 60fps with the help of AI and Machine Learning.This was a very painful cutscene to restore, given the horrible backgrounds in the back, the AI seem to try to "fix" the original renders with some terrible results, so I had to tone down a bit the AI abilities in order to get a more cohesive version with the original while still increasing the resolution and sharpness of the image. After several attempts I got a version that I can be ok with. The original was a 512x488 resolution with 30fps, and was restored to 4096x2944 and doubled the framerate with the help of AI on a grand total increase of over 800% in resolution.

This is Castlevania: Curse of Darkness third cutscene, when Hector meets Julia! Restored to 4K with the help of AI, Machine Learning and Neuronal Networks.Oh Julia, sweet Julia... this is one of my personal favourite cutscenes from the game, and I hope you guys like it too, it was honestly a joy to work on this one, no complains, the only thing is from the original cutscene in which at moments the characters where out focus (mostly for creative intent.) so sometimes when the camera gets away of either Julia or Hector the results where not so good, but well that's how the original was made so not much else I can do in those situations.The original was a 512x488 at 30fps (29.97 to be precise.) and was restored to 4096x2944 and doubled the framerate with the help of AI on an increase of 800% of resolution.If you like what I do here, please consider liking and subscribing as that helps a lot to grow the channel, furthermore if you want to support me consider sharing the video as much as you can or consider supporting me on Patreon.

This is Castlevania Curse of Darkness, the second cutscene, in which Hector uses his power as Devil Forgemaster once again, and then he mets Zead. Restored to 4K with AI, Machine Learning and Neuronal Networks.This was a rather difficult cutscene, because a lot of the scenes were from the distance, and because some of the effects present in the cutscene itself. Still after all the process was done I was quite happy with the results.The original was a 512x488 at 30fps (29.97 to exact) and was restored to 4096x2944 and doubled the framerate with the help of AI in an increase of 800% the resolution.

Castlevania: Curse of Darkness Hector finds Isaac 4K, 60ᶠᵖˢ (RESTORED to with AI Machine Learning.) Aeon 2021-05-05 | Hello everyone! This Castlevania Curse of Darkness, the first time Hector finds Isaac at the begging of the game, restored to 4K and 60fps with AI and Machine Learning. This one was a bit weird to do, because the in game graphics, I don't think it was a bad result I actually like it, but I feel like it could have been better, it's probably because of the polygons of the game and the way textures blend in, that the AI not always pick it up as I expected, still I think it's a massive improvement over the original so I think it's pretty good my only gripe is pretty much on certain moments were either Hector or Issac are to far from the camera and in the original there were barely any details, so IA struggled to properly recognize them there. I really like this version of Isaac and Hector by the way, and I never forget how iconic their lines were since the first time I heard them as a kid. The original was a 512x488 at 30fps (29.97 to be precise.) and was restored to 4096x2944 and doubled the framerate with AI, with an increase of 800% in resolution.

Castlevania: Curse of Darkness Prologue 4K, 60ᶠᵖˢ (RESTORED with AI and Machine Learning.) Aeon 2021-05-02 | Hello everyone! This Castlevania: Curse of Darkness Prologue, restored to 4K and 60fps using AI, Machine Learning and Neuronal Networks. This is a pretty straight cutscene, and it was relatively easy to do, the hardest part was to clean the original footage for the correct upscaling, and I believe is the part that shows the most. That been said it wasn't perfect, particularly on the part of the cutscene with the moon behind the words, it had a lot of noise the original there, and like wise the upscaled version had some trouble there, but overall I think it's pretty damn good result so I'm happy with it.The original was at 512x488 and with 30fps (29.97 to be precise.) and to increase it to 4K it required an 800% increase in resolution plus doubling the framerate. BTW this time I didn't put a comparison on the thumbnail because well, the biggest part of the cutscene are words, and I don't think it could have been seen properly at such low resolution in the thumbnail the difference. So I just stick for the coolest part in the video I believe the glowing eyes of Dracula.If you like what I do here, please consider liking and subscribing as that helps a lot to grow the channel, furthermore if you want to support me consider sharing the video as much as you can or consider supporting me on Patreon.

Castlevania: Curse of Darkness Opening - 4K, 60ᶠᵖˢ (RESTORED with AI and Machine Learning.) Aeon 2021-04-28 | Hello everyone! This Castlevania: Curse of Darkness, opening cutscene, restored to 4K with AI, Machine Learning and Neuronal Networks!This one was pretty hard to get right because of the weird aspect ratio of the original ps2 cutscenes, and on top of that they had massive black bars both on top and at the bottom, and I wasn't sure YouTube will be able to accept properly the end video resolution, so I had to test and upload multiple versions until I found the correct way to display it for YouTube's concept of 4K at a 4:3 aspect ratio. The original cutscene was 512x488 at 30 fps, the correct resolution for upscaling as in a correct multiplier on 4K, was 4096x3072 which is actually the standard for Cinematic 4K at a 4:3 resolution, however youtube was taking it as 5K... so after doing some test and seeing that youtube kinda struggled with it I decided to settle for YouTube version of 4K. Overall was pretty fun, I''m not sure how some of the others cutscenes are going to work, as many of them are actually on the in-game engine, so the IA might not recognize them properly, but I'll eventually will give them a try and see how it goes.If you like what I do here, please consider liking and subscribing as that helps a lot to grow the channel, furthermore if you want to support me consider sharing the video as much as you can or consider supporting me on Patreon.

FFVII Crisis Core: Phoenix Summon 4K, 60ᶠᵖˢ (RESTORED with AI, Machine Learning & Neuronal Networks) Aeon 2021-04-24 | Hello Everyone! This is Crisis Core: FFVII, Phoenix - Rebirth Flame, Summon, restored to 4K and 60fps, with AI, Machine Learning and Neuronal Networks. This was a fun summon but a bit troublesome, it seems AI sometimes struggles with stuff like fire and the natural distortions that heat is meant to represent, the Ifrit cutscene had similar problems which is why I already had an idea on how to deal with them, so this time it went a bit faster. Overall I enjoy working on the Summon cutscenes, I feel like they were a bit over the top on Crisis Core and that's why they look badass in 4K.The original was in a 480x272 resolution and 30fps, in order to restored to 4K it was required an increase of more than 800% in resolution and doubling the fps,.If you like what I do here, please consider liking and subscribing as that helps a lot to grow the channel, furthermore if you want to support me consider sharing the video as much as you can or consider supporting me on Patreon.

FFVII Crisis Core: Odin Summon 4K, 60ᶠᵖˢ (RESTORED with AI, Machine Learning and Neuronal Networks.) Aeon 2021-04-23 | Hello everyone! This Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII, Odin Summon - Zantetsuken, restored to 4K with AI, Machine Learning and Neuronal Networks.This cutscene well... was a pain to do... typically speaking AI, tends to have trouble with some fast movement scenes, because of the blur and the rapid movements, but furthermore given some of the noise, and noise color present on the original I was having some trouble finding a proper way to upscale it, and then increasing the framerate was the cherry on top honestly. In the end, I managed to do it, but this was the reason I got back my plans as I wanted to start uploading the summons two days earlier but the Odin one was pretty hard to do, in the end I'm pretty happy with the results outside of a couple of frames but overall I think it looks pretty good. The original was a 480x272 resolution and 30fps, so I had to do an increase of 800% resolution and doubling the framerate in order to get it at 4K 60fps.

This is Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII, Ifrit summon- Hellfire, restored to 4K using AI, Machine Learning and Neuronal Networks. Well this was fun to work on, unlike some others of my previous works, this was a relatively straight forward process, for which I'm happy, I can't say the same of the rest of the summons tho, Odin gave a lot of trouble for example. The Original was a 480x272 resolution and 30fps, I made a small change on how the comparison shots start as to better reflect the difference on resolution vs the 4K version, it's only a couple of seconds tho, but I hope you guys like it. I plan to keep going the rest of the summons in the next few days, and maybe on the weekend I'll post the other thing I've been working on, hope you guys like it!!If you like what I do here, please consider liking and subscribing as that helps a lot to grow the channel, furthermore if you want to support me consider sharing the video as much as you can or consider supporting me on Patreon.

FFVII Crisis Core: Bahamut Summon 4K, 60ᶠᵖˢ (RESTORED with AI, Machine Learning & Neuronal Networks) Aeon 2021-04-21 | Hello Everyone! This is Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII, Bahamut Summon - Megaflare, restored to 4K and 60fps, with AI, Machine Learning and Neuronal Networks. "Boy... oh boy... The price of Freedom is steep."Just like some of you asked me, I've been trying to decide on what to work next, and I've been waiting to work in Crisis Core cutscenes for a couple of months, however getting the cutscenes from Crisis Core out of the cartridge is a huge pain in the ass. This is not however the only thing I plan to work in the next few days, if everything goes correctly, I'll plan to upload a couple more of stuff this week, I'm also pretty excited and happy thanks to all the positive feedback I've been getting from you guys.About this cutscene in particular as you can see, the original was 480x272 and 30 fps, (well it was technically 29.97 fps, to be precisely.) And I doubled the framerate with AI, and increased the resolution by about an 800%. If you have been following the channel you might notice that I changed the way the comparisons were made previously, this was made for two reasons, one I always wanted from the get-go to be able to show you both videos, as this would show you better some of the problems of noise, macroblocking etc, the originals usually have, however I thought that showing you the image still would let you guys catch more detail, however not only it doesn't seem to be the case based on some of your feedback, but also not many people got around to watch the comparisons according to youtube analytics, so I thought that in this way it would be more interesting for you guys.If you like what I do here, please consider liking and subscribing as that helps a lot to grow the channel, furthermore if you want to support me consider sharing the video as much as you can or consider supporting me on Patreon.

The Legend of Dragoon: Ending 4K (RESTORED with AI, Machine Learning and Neuronal Networks) Aeon 2021-04-13 | This is The Legend of Dragoon; The Ending of the game, the final cutscene and the Epilogue, restored to 4K with AI, Machine Learning, and Neuronal Networks. Oh boy... this was so hard to do, and so mentally exhausting, I honestly feel very tired once I finished, both cutscenes have several problems, the CGI one had some horrible compression artifacts and all kinds of noise. The "in-game" one was actually made on a much lower resolution, (240p) but re-packed at 360p with the frames, so IA also had a hard time figuring some of the details that should be there, honestly it would have been way better if they put actual game play, instead of recording it at such low resolution. In any case it's finally done, after putting almost 4 moths of my life into this, I finished all the cutscenes in the best quality possible with today's technology available. Who knows maybe in the future I'll give them another try if AI gets even better, for now, I'll probably going to publish a video with all the cutscenes and no comparison shots in a couple of days and that's it. Btw and speaking of comparison shots, this video has only a few, I thought that considering that all the cutscenes and stuff were almost 9 minutes long people wouldn't stay longer to see a high bunch of shots after that, so only put there a few.

The Legend of Dragoon: The Divine Dragon raids Deningrad 2nd time 4K (RESTORED with AI) Aeon 2021-03-22 | So this is, The Legend of Dragoon; The second time the Divine Dragon fly's above Deningrad and this time attacks the city, restored to 4K with AI, these one actually went a bit smoother than the previous ones thanks to the things I've learned working on previous disc 3 cutscenes. It is also one of my favourite cutscenes in terms of graphics and what it actually happens with the Divine Dragon and how we can see in a bit more of detail his attacks. The original cutscene was on a 640x192 resolution, so it required an increase of more than 1000% resolution and it took a bit of work to properly get the correct ratio, but I feel specially based on the final shot of the moon that it actually went quite well.If you like what I do here, please consider liking and subscribing as that helps a lot to grow the channel, furthermore if you want to support me consider sharing the video as much as you can or consider supporting me on Patreon.

The Legend of Dragoon: The Divine Dragon set free 4K (RESTORED with AI and Machine Learning) Aeon 2021-03-15 | So this is the 4th Cinematic of Disc 3, The Divine Dragon set free restored to 4K, it happens before you finish your first visit to Deningrand, and when Meru returns to the party with some information from the Winglies.This is one of those annoying 640x192 resolution cinematics just like the Phantom Ship one, so this one took a bit of work to get a decent result, nevertheless, here you have it, also in order to get properly the 4K version I had to upscaled all the way to 5K first for those of you interested. I hope you guys like it, I'm sorry for not posting lately but I've been a little bit busy honestly, I hope I can put more constantly in the next weeks, also I've started working in another project that hope you guys will like once it's posted :)If you like what I do here, please consider liking and subscribing as that helps a lot to grow the channel, furthermore if you want to support me consider sharing the video as much as you can or consider supporting me on Patreon.

The Legend of Dragoon: The Black Monster 4k (RESTORED with AI, Machine Learning and Neural Networks) Aeon 2021-02-28 | Well this is The Legend of Dragoon the cinematic of the Black Monster, the Story they tell you on Deningrand on Disc 3 about it.This is like one of my proudest works so far, the original cutscene was full of noise and I thought of it to be un-reparable but alas, I got the job done, and quite well in opinion so I'm happy, also I like a lot the stile of the art it reminds me of the Renaissance so extra points for that. For those of you interested the original was a 320x192 resolution video so this was an increase of more than 1000% the resolution of the original.If you like what I do here, please consider liking and subscribing as that helps a lot to grow the channel, furthermore if you want to support me consider sharing the video as much as you can or consider supporting me on Patreon.

The Legend of Dragoon: The Dragoon Campaign Part 2 4K (RESTORED with AI and Machine Learning.) Aeon 2021-02-22 | This is the Legend of Dragoon; The Dragoon Campaign, the second part of the history restored to 4K, this is version is told to you during your first visit on Disc 3 to Deningrand. This one wasn't as hard as the last one, as I already identified proper ways to deal with some of the extra noise of Disc 3, however it was a bit annoying because some of the weird art-graphics that are present and in particular the style of the art been like semi-destroyed or erased by time so in a couple of instances the AI was picking wrong some details and in some trials was also failing to understand some parts of the picture, after many tries I manage to make a successful version of it.

The Legend of Dragoon: The Divine Tree 4K (RESTORED with AI, Machine Learning and Neural Network.) Aeon 2021-02-17 | This is The Legend of Dragoon; The Divine Tree cinematic the first one of Disc 3 restored to 4K using AI.This one actually took me quite sometime because of two reasons the first one I got sick and couldn't do much those days, but the second and most important, the original cutscene was so full of noise and artifacts it was almost impossible to get a nice result without taking away a lot of the actual quality in the original. You can see part of this problem on the second image on the comparison section where some parts of the left were taking out because of the excessive noise and some detail was lost in exchange, this problems were present on all of the cinematic, but that shoot is probably the one that shows a better example of it, consequentially cleaning up all the cinematic while trying to preserver detail took a lot of time and tries and many nights I even consider quitting and not doing more because of the bad results I was getting, this is also a problem of the extreme compression some of the Cinematics of Disc 3 have because is the one with more Cinematics on it. In the end I feel quite satisfied with the result and happy, but it did took me a lot... anyway I hope you guys can enjoy it.If you like what I do here, please consider liking and subscribing as that helps the channel grow, furthermore if you want to support me consider sharing the video as much as possible or consider supporting on Patreon.

The Legend of Dragoon: Roses Memories 4K (RESTORED with AI, Machine Learning and Neural Network.) Aeon 2021-02-05 | Hi everyone, this is the Legend of Dragoon; Rose Memories of Disc 2 after you abandon the Phantom Ship, Restored to 4K using AI.This did took quite a while, but it's my favourite cut-scene in the game and did everything I could to make it look as great and as close to the original. Sadly some of the rapid movement scenes were presenting artifacts out of the noise in the original, which were producing horrible results, so it took me like 20 fu***ng tries to get it right while still preserving as much detail as I could. It also took me quite some time due to my desire to make it look as close to the original as possible so I was in many instances comparing frame-by-frame, but I think in the end it looks quite good.

The Legend of Dragoon: Phantom Ship 5K Wide (RESTORED with AI, Machine Learning and Neural Network.) Aeon 2021-01-29 | This is the version of the video that keeps the original aspect ratio found on the Disc. While it might look a bit weird, this is exactly how the original video was produced, however that's not how it looked on PSX hence why there are two versions one that looks just like it was on the original files and the other that looks just like it was presented to you on the Game. It was a pain in the a** to work whit this aspect ratio, youtube refused to upload on the first couple of tries, editing software refused to work with the effects, objects, it was really annoying at the begging but ultimately I found this standard for Ultra-wide 21:9 to be the more workable of all the other attempts. If you want to watch the video like it was presented to you on the PSX check this link: youtu.be/mexReUMo7bMIf you like what I do here, please consider liking the video and subscribing to the channel as that helps it grow, if you want to support me more, consider sharing the video as much as possible or supporting me on Patreon, thank you and hope that you enjoyed the video! #TheLegendofDragoon #4K #AIRestored #MachineLearning #NeuralNetwork #PSX #PSONE #PS1 #RemakethelegendofDragoon #Upscaling
The Legend of Dragoon: Phantom Ship 4K (RESTORED with AI, Machine Learning and Neural Network.) Aeon 2021-01-29 | So... this took a while, it was mostly because of the problems of the resolution. For those interested the original video was on the disc on a 640x192 Resolution, which ended up causing a lot of troubles on the upscaling and uploading to YouTube until I found a resolution a that works with it. This is the link to the video that keeps it's original aspect ratio found on the CD file: youtu.be/cfCPTPR3uBMThis version of the video by the way was smushed a bit on the sides to fit on the screen, after spending quite amount of hours comparing the original aspect ratio the video had on the PSX, I came with this in order to recreate how it was presented to you on the console, it's probably not perfect but it's as good as it gets in terms of visually looking like it was originally. While it took quite some time, I'm very happy to have finished because a lot of what I learnt here would be useful for the other 4 videos on Disc 3 that keep the same aspect ratio.

The Legend of Dragoon: The Moon that Never Sets 4k (RESTORED with AI, and Machine Learning). Aeon 2021-01-23 | This is The Legend of Dragoon first Cinematic of Disc 2, The Moon that Never Sets. Restored to 4K with AI, Machine Learning and Neural Network (The Neural network part didn't fit in the title this time). This is was a pretty hard to restore but also pretty damn fun cinematic, the main problem is the great amount of places that are shown to you, from the City of Fletz at Night, to the Moon and the stars next to a Sky Chart, then a painting representing the birth of the Moon Child, to the Fire of Nest caused by the Black Monster, a Red Moon, to a Tundra Forest outside of Nest and then again to the Moon. This caused a lot of trouble for the Algorithms to proper restore one scene and then been faced with a completely different one. In order to properly restored I figured a way to restore the image in a more accurate way, but at the same time this caused some of the flickering and noise of the original image to also be "enhanced" which might be a little bit annoying, sorry for that but I couldn't get rid of it without softening too much image and loosing quality in the process so I give it priority to quality. For those of you interested the original video was a 320x192 resolution so restoring it to 4K was more than 1000% resolution increase. In the end I'm quite happy with the result in particular with the ones showed on the Painting scene and forest.

The Legend of Dragoon: The Dragoon Campaign 4K (RESTORED with AI, Machine Learning, Neural Network). Aeon 2021-01-19 | This is the Legend of Dragoon second Cinematic, the Tale of the Dragoon Campaing narrated by you for Minister Noich if I remember correctly, during your visit to Bale restored to 4K with AI, this is one was actually quite annoying to do, because the AI keep either erasing details and confusing them with noise, mostly because of the low quality of the OG Cinematic, it took me quite some hours and numerous attempts to get a satisfactory result. For those of you interested the original video was 320x192 resolution and restoring it to 4K was more than 1000% resolution increase. This one despite looking quite well I'm not so satisfied, maybe later I'll give it a second try once I'm more experienced or with a better version of the AI.

The Legend of Dragoon: Intro 4K (Restored with AI, Machine Learning and Neural Network) Aeon 2021-01-13 | This is the Legend of Dragoon first Cut-scene of Disc 1, restored to 4K with AI, it honestly took me more than 150 hours of try and error, and learning to use the programs plus the already long time this programs take to work their magic.For those interested the OG Intro was taken from the Disc itself, and it was only a Video of 320x192 resolution... so yeah restoring something like that to 4K it's way above and increase of 1000% in Resolution. Regardless of that I'm a big fan of the Legend of Dragoon and grow up playing the game so I decided to try and put my part for those that also love the game like me. I also plan to keep restoring all the cut-scenes of the game (even the minor ones.) However and given how time consuming this is I don't have an estimated time for that.If you like what I do here, consider liking the video and sharing it as much as possible as that helps growing the channel,Also if you like what I do you might want to consider supporting me on Patreon. #TheLegendofDragoon #4K #AIRestored #MachineLearning #NeuralNetwork #PSONE #PS1 #Playstation #RemaketheLegendofDragoon #Upscaling
