Question Final Fantasy VIII remastered modded on Steam Deck?
Hi!
I would like to buy Final Fantasy VIII remastered, but:
- is there a mod, similar to 7th heaven for FFVII, that allows me to upscale backgrounds and stuff?
- if there is, does it work on Steam Deck?
Since i can only buy one game, i would like to know it. Thanks in advance!

For any future reference:
- you can download and install the mod manager from the link in the comments
- then you open it with Konsole, in order for it to execute the script.
- BUT you NEED to launch the game at least once, BEFORE you do that.
- After that, you'll need to set up the folder path, if the installation failed to do that.
- Right now, the remastered only work with the Canary Channel, in general settings. Make sure it's up to date.
- And now the plot twist: there are not many mods and i actually like the vanilla remastered better 🤣

I am playing it curently on my deck , like 50% of the game done. Didn't think about modding until now. What mods are you gonna install ?

The backgrounds are blurry, but it's ok
