Now that all the FINAL FANTASY PIXEL REMASTER games are released, we can talk about them. I was incredibly curious about how all of these played, especially my absolute favorite of all time, Final Fantasy 6. The big thing here is determining if these are the DEFINITIVE editions to play or not.

As a modder for the Pixel Remasters, there's also plenty of mods for the PC versions to be found. If you want the classic character sprites, for example, because the new ones seem a bit too unshaded and bright, or the FF5 and 6 overworlds are way too bright and clash with the new town and dungeon tileset improvements, we've got mods for that. These games are made on the Unity engine, so they're a lot easier to mess with than the old iso and rom files of before.

I have a lot of respect for the modding community that continues to help modern remakes more accessible while simultaneously showing tribute to the original games. That respect, however, doesn't carry over to SE in many places (though some things were improved). If fans are the ones spending their own energy to be the labor of love that's indicative of the original titles, if they're the ones truly turning the PR projects into something I would want to play--then why would someone praise SE for having their work corrected? Again, because I see the angry comments forming already, I'm not saying the PR games are the worst thing I've ever seen. I'm saying that the fans are doing a better job at creating a lasting experience than the companies getting paid to do what these modders end up having to do for us.

"DIFFICULTY" on FF6 is increased if you increase battle speed. it has NO effect on actual battle speed, its a PURE difficulty slider. This is probably why you were dying more often. "Battle Speed" changes difficulty, because it has no effect on the speed of battles, but instead, the speed stat of the enemy, giving it more or less turns per your turn. if you increase it, they attack you far more often, while your turn amount doesnt go up to match. it also effects how often poison ticks to hurt you.

The other cool thing about the opera scene is that it's voiced NOT JUST in English in Japanese, but in EVERY LANGUAGE THE GAME IS IN! I was playing in Spanish and the whole opera is voiced in Spanish too! That was so cool! I guess in the English version, she didn't sound like an opera singer, and that was *intentional* because Celes would NOT have been an opera singer, but just someone who can maybe sing.

I do not understand this reasoning at all. I do not know a single opera or musical where the characters are supposed to be professional singers. The whole point is that we are supposed to enjoy the music, so only the best singers actually get casted. It shouldn't be any different for this scene.

@@gubruikertje She didn't take her place because she sounds like the opera singer. She took her place because she LOOKS like the opera singer.

You can actually fail that scene, the impres.... whatever he was called, gets mad and tells you "you have x more chances". I think this alludes to everyone in the audience knowing it's fake, like special viewings designed to draw Setzer out to kidnap Celes. You have only so much time of keeping it "shut down" before they have to reopen. Lore wise, it's a good choice and makes sense. She is a General, not some Opera Floozy. She needs only learn the part to keep the Opera going long enough for Setzer to kidnap her instead of the actual Opera Singer.

@@jonny_codphilo7809 This is my first time experiencing most of these games, even then I could pretty quickly figure out that there is something wrong with the scaling. Yes I know more about weakness exploiting nowadays but that doesn't even matter. I only needed to grind 1 time, and that was for the final boss of FF 3. For the rest all games you can just ask your units to auto battle for 95 % of the battles in all of these games. Especially while playing FF 1 I felt something was wrong, I would sequence break a lot of battles because I could just run wherever I wanted to. The reviews on steam also mention the lack of difficulty a lot so I am at this point just going to assume that my experience is right in this.

This is a nice rundown, but I'm kinda surprised there's no mention of the bugs, which vary in severity. I only watched Jared and Yunalesca play VI, but there's that bug where the enemies stop doing anything when all your characters are frozen. There was that one where Setzer stands in the same spot as other party members when you re-recruit him. I saw a couple videos about one where if you exit Albrook through a certain tile in the World of Ruin, you end up back in the World of Balance with no way to progress or fix the game, which was unfortunate for this guy who saved without realizing what had happened. They should have fixed these before releasing the game.

You know, it's kind of funny that you mention how good these games look, when I actually thought otherwise. Perhaps it's just me being a pixel art snob, but all of the character sprites look almost amateurish to me, which is odd because, as you mentioned, the environment and enemy spritework is, for the most part, pretty solid. It's just the characters, which are what you're going to be looking at and dealing with for the entire duration of the game, that are off. Seems to me that the contrast isn't high enough, resulting in a flat, almost muddied look, despite there being more shades used than in the originals. I guess it all boils down to personal preference in the end, and the character sprites that we got aren't necessarily *bad* per se, it just seems like such a baffling difference when you compare it to a lot of the enemy sprites, which very clearly have higher contrast in their color palettes and look so much better because of it.
@melliel2957 2 жыл бұрын
I'd say a lot of the flaws of the character sprites are less subjective than objective. If I ignore my plethora of nitpicks against them, I'd still consider them pretty bad for the reasons you've mentioned. The oversaturation and brightness of every color either gives nothing space to itself aside from the dark outline that contrasts far too much. It all just ends up feeling like a mess of colors lazily implying the vaguest possible idea of what the sprite is meant to be. This issue becomes worse on characters with a lot of colors. So much visual noise is bound to give someone a headache after a play session. Not every character sprite is that bad. In fact there are some of them that are actually really good, but I have to go out of my way to search for them to confidently say they exist.

On Steam, there is/was an alternative to the Final Fantasy VI Pixel remaster, the Old Mobile Version port, which was delisted, when the pixel remasters came out. Some may yell, "Noooooo!" but with the mod pack that's currently out, it can go toe to toe with the pixel remaster, to the point where I'm undecided which one to play.

@BriBCG 2 жыл бұрын
I have a few problems with the pixel remasters. Most of which I could forgive. -Changing the difficulty and giving no option to have the original difficulty (a bit strange for something claiming to be the original experience. For example the experience and gold values in FF1 are not even close to original) -the text (at least that's easy to fix, and honestly not a huge deal to begin with.) -I have mixed feelings about the brightened sprite remakes, especially in FF6 I feel like it robs some of the atmosphere of the game. -But the one which I absolutely can't forgive and why I would struggle to play these over the original is the judder/microsutter, it drives me crazy. I know it's not uncommon in modern games, but the old versions are buttery smooth.
@armorvil 2 жыл бұрын
Yeah, Jared mentioned neither the lackof smoothness when you move around, nor the bugs that still plague some of them to this day. They managed to create more annoying bugs in FF6 (mainly sotftlocks) than the original had, and the original was a buggy mess.

The best version for Final Fantasy 2 ist NOT the pixel remaster since it's missing the whole afterlife part which was included in the GBA game. It's not just an additional dungeon but more like a whole DLC with new playable characters, new story elements and a new final boss.

Yes! The PSP versions of I, II, and IV are so much better than every other one (unless you like the 3D and voice acting of the DS remake for IV the most). I'd wager Square could have even done PSP remakes for other games during that time like Chrono Trigger or something.
@joed5150 2 жыл бұрын
I get why they did it but I'm still very disappointed they didn't do an HD2D remake of 6. Hopefully they're doing that with Chrono Trigger because that's the only thing that makes sense for why they ported Cross to modern consoles and not Trigger

@IFinishedAVideoGame 2 жыл бұрын
I'm surprised you're so dismissive of the text issue. Menus are huge part of this series and we've seen with games like Persona 5 that a quality UI can take a turn based RPG to the next level. Here I really feel like they detract from the experience which is literally advertised as a graphical remaster. Great to hear mods are available but I wouldn't say it's hyperbolic to have an issue with the presentation of something so central to the games feeling.

I really don't like how the new character sprites look. I feel like making the colors brighter and using smoother gradients was the wrong direction to go when upgrading these sprites. I wish 6's sprites would've stayed the same and the other games should've been adjusted to be more in line with how 6 looks, as I feel that game has peek snes spritework.
