Disc 4 still coming?

Disc 4 still coming?

I took a break because of personal problems and will try to finish disk 4 before the year ends.

Edit- Life took a bad turn so no Disk 4 this year. I'm hoping to get the 3080 GPU before the end of 2021 (lack of supplies) to speed up the process. I'm also going to redo the whole thing since AI upscaling has improved quite a bit since a year ago and I wasn't satisfied with how Esthar looked.

Just got into ff8 remastered modding thanks for this! GL on disc 4. I'm just starting the game so it could take a while for me to get there!  Excited for max32's version as well.

btw, you can still try my Disc 4 FMVs perhaps... while you wait for the matching set...
(arguably better then stock at least) i know it gets ignored a bit as it is on page 2 at this point, plus i lost access to my old login. also it has 2 versions of the Ending videos, with alternative music for those who might like that...

I know it's hard but AI fix just turned the whole fmv into a crayon mess. Not a fan of this , sorry.

I know this might be a little late but there is a program by Topaz labs that does upscaling to 4K beautifully. I use it all the time on videos. It is GPU intensive though but the results are phenomenal. It's called Topaz Video AI and it has the ability to add frames for increased FPS if you know how to. Or if that's too hard to figure out you can always use Davinci Resolve to adjust FPS for smoother play. I do this all day.

Darz FMV's consist of improving the low quality ones we got in the Remaster. With the help from Mcindus I've upscaled the majority of FF8 FMV's to the equivalent of 4k using Esrgan and Gigapixel. The FMV's unfortunately remain at 15fps until the ability to edit the files to allow higher fps. Each Disk is over 1GB so expect download to take a little bit if you have slow internet.

Disk 4 is still a work in progress and once that's done I'll fine tune some FMV's (which takes longer) to look better.

Came to say the same. Is there another place where the mod is being hosted now? They looked really good, based on the preview~
