tsumineko · (Yesterday, 05:23 AM)

Ok, not looking horrible just yet.

Think Different · (Yesterday, 05:24 AM)

I need more screens before judging

Dat Terra sprite.

There's still time to turn it around, but not good starting out.

ShockingAlberto · (Yesterday, 05:24 AM)

Once it comes to full res, the garish smoothing will probably be more obvious.

atbigelow · (Yesterday, 05:24 AM)

Well they fucked with the character sprites, as expected. :/

astrogamer · (Yesterday, 05:25 AM)

OK, isn't looking too bad so far.

Bingo.
We'll see every horrible detail and interest will plummet like Lightning Returns sales.

Yeah, though screens are too tiny to really judge. People say Terra's sprite looks FFV'ied

Crossing my fingers. Please don't destroy my youth, S-E.

Syril · (Yesterday, 05:27 AM)

Why do you have to make all your classics look like cheap disposable entertainment with no sense of being created with any passion, Square-Enix?

Foffy · (Yesterday, 05:27 AM)

The pictures are bigger on the website. And it still has that ugly RPG Maker look to it.

EDIT: And now they're here. Ewwwwww.

Everything looks smoother, but they're losing some of the grittiness and atmosphere... It's too bright, and the snow lost all it's texture...

Reluctant-Hero · (Yesterday, 05:29 AM)

Hmmmm...

Youth is already dead.

Not sure if like.

Lin Siniang · (Yesterday, 05:30 AM)

Holy shit that new background for the cliff near Narshe screen is amazing. They're redoing the bgs?!

That's how I feel.

The Boat · (Yesterday, 05:30 AM)

I'll stick with the original, thanks.

Both of you sum up my feelings perfectly.

Tesseract · (Yesterday, 05:31 AM)

too early to know for sure but i'm already hating it, too bright and smooth.

Balphon · (Yesterday, 05:31 AM)

So....hideous....why....

Blackage · (Yesterday, 05:31 AM)

The backgrounds like nice the problem is the sprites, but I'm sure they don't really care with feedback, just another cash-in. *sigh*

19th post nails it! ;p

The update had a better screen cap. Definitely favor the original, it may be nostalgia but it looked like they did their best with what they had, while they have infinitely more now but phone it in.

Dark_castle · (Yesterday, 05:32 AM)

Doesn't look THAT bad I guess. Show me more.

jschreier · (Yesterday, 05:32 AM)

no no no no no no no no no

MartyStu · (Yesterday, 05:32 AM)

Fuck. This probably means the game is not in line for a remake :(

flabberghastly · (Yesterday, 05:33 AM)

We all knew this day would come. We all knew it would look soulless and disposable. Oh, well.

encephalon · (Yesterday, 05:33 AM)

How did this company go from the improved FFT sprites to this awful mess?

GrumpyAlien · (Yesterday, 05:33 AM)

Looking alright, but I really gotta see some combat pics before I make up my mind.

minor effort · (Yesterday, 05:33 AM)

What depresses me most is that I know I'll probably wind up buying it, barring some really bad news coming for it.

I know, I'm an enabler.

KyanMehwulfe · (Yesterday, 05:34 AM)

.....there were houses down there?

Syril · (Yesterday, 05:34 AM)

I guess we didn't realize how good we had it with the iOS Chrono Trigger.

Square-Enix, destroying the past one iOS port at a time.

HalfwayOrb · (Yesterday, 05:34 AM)

I like. Too bad it wont be released on consoles or pc.

The modern face of Square Enix.

Teknoman · (Yesterday, 05:35 AM)

Well...at least Magitek armor has been greatly represented in XIV.

GaussTek · (Yesterday, 05:35 AM)

Is this one based on the GBA version just like FFV? Just want to make sure that I won't miss anything if I don't get this one, as I don't like the new sprites :(
