First of all, while Squeenix is heralding the HD cut scenes, they're just ok - still beautiful, but not near as detailed as the HD cut scenes of X and XII - which is understandable. Secondly, the backgrounds look a little old, and while FFIX had some of the best pre-rendered backgrounds of the era, they don't translate too well to being blown up in HD, so sometimes they look kinda bad. However, what's really impressive is how good the 3D models of the characters look - and not use the main characters either. I'm seeing new details on characters that were so blurry before, and they really have a cute life to them now. For the main characters especially, they have been given new life, as their faces blink and you can see them in crystal clear detail. It's just too bad they couldn't do much with the pre-rendered backgrounds.
