Polishing the rose-tinted glasses

Back when Final Fantasy IX originally launched, most of us were happily playing games on our standard def TVs. Game consoles didn't focus on HD visuals, and it was a simpler time. Nowadays, all the talk with gaming is about 4K, 60FPS, and all that jazz. That's why some Final Fantasy fans have taken a dive back into history to bring Final Fantasy IX up to speed with today's trends.

In the video above, you can see all of the cut-scenes from Final Fantasy IX's first disc in 4K glory. There's no doubt the scenes look more visually impressive, but I'd say they lost a bit of their charm. Perhaps that's nostalgia talking, but I am an old man after all!
