Looks cleaner, possibly with a filter, but it's still a lazy effort and FFVI deserves better.
Seriously. Never realized that before.
I think this is looking slightly better than FF5, but it's too early to tell. The only thing of any real detail we have is Terra's head.
They smoothed and smudged the hell out of the character sprites and environment details, aside from the empire building.
Both screens do a disservice to the original game. That screen capture of FFVI for SNES is compressed to all hell.

Probably because it looks like someone took a screen cap of a composite signal.

FFVI deserves better.
I hope no one buys this
what's wrong? looks fine to me.
I'd chalk that up to the shitty jpeg compression.

I'm with you. I've got no intention of buying this or any cellphone games but if you guys want hideous just look at FF4 DS. This doesn't look awful.
They should just include original sprites as an option. Then everyone wins.
The original screen looks like a pretty poor, highly compressed grab.

That's because he purposely picked a bad screenshot to display.

Hmmmm...
Let's try it without the terrible compression artifacts.

If they released this on XBL / PSN / Wii ware and it has achievements and stuff I would buy it.
Its just a shame Square hates console money.

The should just reuse the FFIII and FFIV remakes 3D engine. I rather them not bastardize the sprites like they are.

Whyyyyyyyyy do they keep using this horrible sprite style instead of sticking closer to the original? I'll buy it because I don't have a choice. For fuck sakes.

Much better screenshot, thanks!
And, yup, I'll take the original SNES release any day.
Looks like they are putting a little more effort into this one. I like the text box. Sprites are big improvement over some of the recent "remasters"
But the lack of detail in the graphics that is lost in the translation is a real bummer.
There's actually some hope that I could buy it! But we'll see.

I'd have killed (well probably not) for a FFVI remake of IV quality with voice acting on 3DS or Vita.
EDIT: This has that bland look that Lunar PSP had.

Narshe.
While I still am not too fond of the RPG Maker sprites (and by extension and font and UI), I like that they re-designed the backdrops.
If they improve the game difficulty here, I might bite. FFVI is my one of my favorite RPG of all time.

Should have been first post. There's nothing left to say about this.
This (and even the FF5 remake) would be nice on Vita, since the PS1 versions of these games have their own issues.

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
I don't mind the smooth sprites, what I hate is Square's terrible English font in every iOS game. At least try.
Looks exactly the same to me. Just brighter and zoomed in more so it's blurrier.

Like what I see, day 1.
You can't smudge or smooth detail that was never there to begin with.

naw,original looks crummy.
Haha, I didn't though. Gotta love double meanings.
Even if you feel that way I imagine someone like you might prefer, say, higher quality 3D for a remake then akin to better looking 3DS or Vita titles at a minimum then. This just looks cheap.
Their fonts/UI are designed to be easily translated into various languages, so you get a crappy one size fits all approach. Sucks, but it makes development easier/cheaper.

Is the GBA port substantially brightened to make up for the lack of a backlight on the GBA screens? Does that mean the mobile version will have the narshe raid start at high noon, then have it suddenly become night again as the opening credits roll?
cheststrongwell
my cake, fuck off
Looks okay. Seeing Kefka in higher resolution worries me. He was one goofy looking son of a bitch in that psp game.
Yeah, cheap is definitely the first thing that comes to mind with these ports. It's a pity they don't care to threat their classics better!

The floor that the trio were standing on has been completely redone into snowy white rather than faint blue. It's not 'just brighter'.

This is so much better than 3D remakes of 5 and 6 on 3DS /sarcasm
