Kaldaien accidentally turns Tales of Symphonia PC into Octodad

Apparently this is what you get when you disconnect animation speeds from the overall frame rate. He left it in as a keyboard shortcut in the newest version of his fix.  It turns out Symphonia's animation is skeletal after all, which according to him means animations could be chopped into smaller segments of time, e.g. higher frame rates.  He is likely about to drop it again, though.

He recently finished a complete texture upscale project and has been improving the fix's ability to decompress .7z files on the fly, so much so much that he could fit 30~ GB of textures into just over 5 (https://github.com/Kaldaien/TSF/releases/tag/tsfix_090).

^This. That is simultaneously the greatest and most horrifying thing I have seen in my life. Words fail me.

I am in tears, this is absolutely beautiful

Upon viewing this again, I do have one question. Why is the guy in the back of the hotel lobby not acting crazy like everyone else? Even the life preserver in the ocean and the sign at the hut on the beach where uncontrollably flailing about.

I'm assuming that the guy doesn't have an idle animation apart from blinking which could just be a texture change.
