Will eagerly await the FFVI iOS port.
Nah, it's just nostalgia blinders that all FF discussions have. People seriously forget this is NOT new at all.
THIS was the first version that Western players got.
That release was absolutely terrible. Painful translation full of errors, and a clear lack of quality.
Did that mean Square was doomed and clearly didn't care? Because if so, they've been doomed and not caring for 15+ years.

It simply looks considerably better to me. The sprites seem to have been remade to be closer to this art style
The battle backgrounds were upgraded in the GBA version and those are closer to what you're seeing on iOS. But like I said, the complaint is with the sprites, not the backgrounds.
I really fear this is how the sprites would have looked back in the day, if the resolution was higher and there were no scanlines...
hahaha, oh man, I don't remember seeing that particular portrait before. Poor Rosa!
There isn't a single thing I don't actively hate in that screen, so at least FFV smartphone has one improvement heh.
Fair enough. It would be nice if the character sprites at least blended in better with the rest of the art, though.
Square don't you dare ever, ever touch FF VI. Don't. Fucking. Touch it.
Oh god. Just thinking about it makes me want to puke.
So I guess this is the FFV remake we are getting. Looks like FF Dimensions

I really hope we are getting a full 3D remake of FFVI next.
Doesn't fit here. FF V is a yes but it has the maybe answer.
You're not going to get many people to agree that porting is the same as remaking.You know that FF6 has been remade twice already, right? And that the first remake was terrible?
The GBA version looks good.An addendum to this, since I was on my phone at the time, here's the same battle from the GBA version:
I just have no clue why they couldn't put this on the eShop as well. Is the market in iOS that strong?
I wonder why the ATB bars in battle are different colors, though. Did they add spell charging like FF4 DS?

Regardless of definition, though, all the exaggerated "I'll kill Square Enix if they tarnish my memories" is really very silly. Deliberately ignoring X to get outraged at Y is sort of...well, silly is still the right word.
Port or remake, if this were 1997 again with the lousy translation/load times of the PSX, people would say the same Ruined Memories Forever.
Really curious how the sprites will look for ff6.
Those were higher res than 4 and 5 right?

Oh no, people have a different opinion from mine, I'm gonna respond to someone who agrees with me and make snarky passive-aggressive comments about others. At least engage the people with whom you disagree.People in this thread are overreacting like always, the game doesn't look bad at all and it's faithful to the orginal art.
That's not the original art, the original art is the amano full size art, not the chibi super deformed art.People in this thread are overreacting like always, the game doesn't look bad at all and it's faithful to the orginal art.
Worst 20th anniversary game ever.
I'll stick with the GBA version.

My post is not about his assessment, it's about the way in which it was delivered.
My post is not about his assessment, it's about the way in which it was delivered.I thought his assessment was completely fair. It is faithful to not only the original chibi art style, but the original Amano art.
And there are definitely people overreacting, like in literally every SQEX thread on here.
They look exactly like the artwork they've always used for this game. I think that's just the style of the game honestly.

If it was the content, then I would have made similar responses to all of the other people voicing similar complaints. I have not. Because everyone is entitled to his or her opinion. What I want to foster is discussion. You can't have a discussion if you're not engaging other posters directly. It's like when someone talks about someone as if they're not in the room. No, you talk to that person. They're right there. This is a trend that I have grown less patient with more and more lately.I honestly have to doubt that. It's the content that got it noticed in my opinion, not the delivery.
Look in literally any FF thread on here and there are people that are extremely vocal in their disappointment with the franchise and mods never call them out. They even taunt anyone who actually likes it, repeatedly. The post you took issue with was extremely tame in comparison, so I honestly don't get the issue.

My thoughts exactly. I wouldn't mind a full remake in a later date, but I think this looks pretty. Regardless the outcome, the anti-retroactive artistic decision is pretty bold. I'll be getting this!
And for people who fear for FFVI, don't worry. It's clear that this was an intentional nod to the original artwork, which wasn't present on FFVI. I expect them to do something different with that. For comparison:
Worst 20th anniversary game ever.

You know, FFV is the only FF I haven't played. I've been waiting for a decent remake to come around to finally get my hands on it. At this point I'm about to just give up and go for the GBA remake. Isn't there a Psx version too? Which is better?
