This is the 9 month old release trailer for Cosmos Gaia, a world map overhaul mod for FF7 that re-implements the terrain rendering to add analog movement and camera controls, real-time lighting and extended draw distance. Sorry flat-earthers, this one is not for you.

25 years ago today, Shenmue was released in Japan. A long-term project with a colossal budget for its time, and a major influence on GTA III, it took years before its level of visual detail was fully surpassed (Final Fantasy X surpassed it in some respects, but its NPCs were far less detailed).

Version 1.6 of Limit Break is now available. This release adds the option to choose between upscaled *AND* extended or upscaled only backgrounds. Upscaled only will make backgrounds that were not wide enough display in 4:3. Aspect ratio is now directly controlled through the Game Driver settings.

Here are a few examples comparing SYW upscales with Cosmos Limit Break ones. SYW prioritizes sharpness but tends to over-smooths details, while Limit Break tries preserve as much texture detail as possible (open in new tab and zoom in to better see the difference).

Happy to announce version 1.5 of Cosmos Limit Break. This is the biggest update yet. It replaces all previous SYW backgrounds with newly upscaled ones that better preserve texture detail and have been manually edited to fix badly upscaled parts.

It seems the FF8 modding party has started without me so I'll self-invite myself with this half-broken true widescreen support contribution.

Lighting is one of the many things borked in the PC version of FF7. Compared to PSX, the PC version had light directions incorrectly inverted in every map. Sometime last year I made a fix for this that is enabled by default if you use FFNx / 7thHeaven.

The last addition to FF7 analog controls is being able to scroll the camera using the right stick. In most cases it's just a cool gimmick but some times you can peek into parts of the backgrounds that would not be visible during normal gameplay.

Another cool thing of the FF7 analog controls is the ability to rotate the battle camera with the right analog stick and zoom in/out with the analog triggers. It is implemented so that scripted camera still work and to remember the last camera position to go back to.

All right, everyone, let's mosey.
The idea for analog controls came from looking at this circular UI element in Makou Reactor that looks like a gamepad stick. This is actually what the game uses to know what direction the player moves. Overriding this variable + some math allowed to have 256 directions instead of 8.
