Angelwing: Ultima gets new NPC Bakes!

For as long as I have been modding FF8, the pre-baked NPCs in the field backgrounds have been a HUGE eyesore. I know a LOT of you feel the same way, and with the release of FF8: Remastered, I know I wasn't the only one who thought that these pre-baked NPCs ripped me right out of my gameplay exper...
