An AI upscale I made from Final Fantasy IV 3D Remake's opening movie from the PC version.
The opening movie which was rendered in SD (640x480p open matte 4:3, animated safe for 16:9) was poorly upscaled to 1280x720p for the PC release.

The movie is also on the iOS version with severely messy colours upscaled to 1080p. Unlike Final Fantasy III, all videos are in the proper 24fps and I was going to use the iOS version until I found out the colours are all borked, which is why I went with the PC FMV. I had to downscale the 720p video back to its original 640x360p (cropped to 16:9 from the original open matte 640x480p) to remove the upscaling artefacts as much as possible. I then fed the video to Topaz Video Enhance AI with the Proteus AI Algorithm.

I think the upscale turned out really well considering the source I worked with and I think it looks almost comparable in quality to the official 4K HDR remaster of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children which is really great. It's not as good as my Final Fantasy III 3D Remake upscale but it is still good for what it is.
