Final Fantasy VII HD graphics mod makes backgrounds less blurry with machine learning

Tired of waiting for that Final Fantasy VII remake? Well, this new mod won’t make the original game look like a modern triple-A title, but it will help the classic role-playing game’s backgrounds look a lot nicer.

FF7 Remako HD Graphics has had its beta release today. You can find a download link for it here. The mod, which works for PC versions of Final Fantasy VII, increases the resolution of the game’s prerendered backgrounds by a factor of four. And it’s all thanks to machine learning.
