About: Moguri Mod

Moguri Mod is a fan-made mod for the Steam version of the video game Final Fantasy IX. It uses AI upscaling and hands-on work to remaster the backgrounds, cutscenes and textures of the game, based on the graphics of the original PlayStation version, as well as adding other graphical features and a remastered soundtrack composed by Pontus Hultgren. While the game's official remaster uses a simple upscale and noise removal to make the backgrounds HD, this caused significant loss of detail, whereas Moguri Mod retains the detail using a more advanced algorithm. Originally released in 2018, its most recent version is the 8.3 "Memoria update" released in 2021, which adds a borderless fullscreen mode to the game.
