It looks like this when reproducing the famous scene of FF7 remake with PC-88 real machine over 30 years ago



The Final Fantasy VII Remake (FF7R), a remake of the Square RPG 'Final Fantasy VII' released in 1997 with modern technology, was released in April 2020 and recorded sales of over 3.5 million units worldwide. Did. Soba P has released a video that reproduces the famous scene of FF7R's 'Encounter of the hero / cloud and heroine / Aerith' on the actual machine of the PC-8800 series that was sold over 30 years ago.

I tried to make a demo scene of FF7R with a PC88 real machine-Nico Nico Douga



Turn on the PC and insert the floppy disk. The machine used in the demo is the PC-8801MH released in 1986. PC-8801MH equipped with NEC's 8-bit processor, μPD70008AC-8, 128KB RAM, VRAM48KB, can display FM sound 3 sounds + SSG sound 3 sounds, 640×200 pixels (8 colors out of 512 colors). The price at that time was 208,000 yen.



When it starts up, the rattling and drive reading sounds will be heard in the room.



The demo scene has started. Dialogue is displayed at the bottom of the screen……



Animation that shows the girl's face when the eyelids are opened is displayed.



Aeris appears. The valley that is visible from the chest is drawn, giving the impression that the FF7R is more attractive than the original family.



The background is vague...



The interior of the church was well displayed.



The animation of Aerys blinking is also reproduced.



The conversation with the cloud is over and the title logo appears.



Aeris and the background disappearing gradually



The title logo was displayed perfectly.



And the title logo will also disappear.



The movie also shows how it was reproduced using the PC-88 series emulator M88 , along with the play on the actual machine, so you can compare the color development and hear the difference in sound ..



In addition, Soba P posted a similar movie on Twitter, but it was said that it was reproduced on PC-88FH, which is slightly lower in price than PC88-MH.
