Lunatic Pandora missing from world map

Open Wedge009 opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

I thought this might have been mentioned somewhere, but looking through the issues just now I couldn't find any previous reports. I'm nearly at the point of no return, where the party is supposed to ram the Lunatic Pandora with the Ragnarok above Tear's Point. There's a faint outline where the Pandora is supposed to be but the textures appear missing.

Looking at the comparison now, I didn't notice that the barrier around Esthar territory is also missing. Other than that, it shows how much better looking Demastered is compared with the unmodified game!

Before reaching Ultimecia's castle there's an opportunity to return to the world map. I was having a hard time trying to work out how to return to Ultimecia's castle... till I realised the missing textures also affects the portals which get you back there.

See #23

It wasn't clear that #23 is related to this. Even if textures are not 'HD' - whatever that means in this context - is it not a reasonable fall-back to just show the original texture?
