Moguri Mod
Final Fantasy IX Recreated
What's Moguri Mod ?
Moguri Mod is a faithful revamp of Final Fantasy 9 (on Steam), aided by AI (ESRGAN and Stable Diffusion). It makes backgrounds more detailed, highres, cleaner and less noisy, while respecting the original art.
It is aimed to first time players and veterans alike. It restores a lot of what made the charm of the original PSX game.
It is based on Memoria mod, which brings a mountain of features and polish.

30fps cinematics
You have the option to download Moguri 30 fps FMVs from the Mod Manager.
This is a fluidification of the FMVs in the game, from 15 frames/seconds to 30, using AI (DAIN). This is not part of the main mod anymore, as it is pretty heavy and can seem a wonky in some places.
Alternative orchestral soundtrack
Moguri Mod used to comes with 13 (optional) orchestrated tracks made by Pontus Hultgren, the soundtrack is now a separate mod that you can download from the Mod Manager. You can listen to more of his work on his youtube channel.
