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

I was a huge fan of FFIV on SNES growing up and thought the 3D remake on the DS was excellent. And like you said, the voice acting was top notch. It is a shame that FFVI is not getting the same 3D treatment and it would have been interesting to have voice acting for the wide variety of characters.

At least it probably won't be as expensive as DQ8 mobile (2500 yen).

Not like this, SE. Not like this.

At least they put effort into the text boxes. They look nice.

Man, if you're going to do a retread of a classic, for gods sake, commit to it.

At this stage, I wouldn't even mind terribly if they outsourced a remake.
Emphasis on at this stage.

There's just no blue tint over the screen.

Thing is they do. Then they demanded much cheaper remakes from the same people I guess. It's a maddening situation all around.

I always hate that there seems to be a gap between the iOS and Android release. As an Android user, it kind of makes me disinterested.

Lots of their stuff doesn't even get released outside of iOS.

if you don't have a SNES, get the GBA version.

Ugh, I get what you mean. Really messed up situation.
I guess I was more leaning on the thought of a cheaper full blown remake.
Imagine it, the models taking an inspiration from Amano's original concepts and shader that takes cues from his watered down Acrylic overlays, complete with Baroque-influenced soundtrack.

The above is completely out of scope and completely irresponsible in terms of a profitable remake, but you know, in a naive and perfect world.

Goddammit the original looks like it has more detail, even if it doesn't and it's at a substantially lower resolution. How hard is it to render more detail in the characters than the bland mess that's on display here?

ITS TOTALLY NOT! I never played VI and bought that atrocity, its just too much to bare man, I played for 2 hours and after that all its worth is a pretty bubble on my vita screen, maybe its me being obsessive but the loading time to get to the menu was absolutely ridiculous.

while most people here are offended by the graphics, I think it looks alright to me. I don't see how much better they can get it to look as long as they stick to the original 2D style. What matters more to me is if they have tweaked the balance and gameplay enough so that it's not the snorefest like the original. Chances are slim I know but hey fingers crossed eh.

I was talking specifically about the cliff background. Everything looks worse in the phone version imo.

If you expect them to increase the difficulty at all, then the chances are indeed slim to none.

Bravo Square-Enix! Take one of the greatest games you ever made, make it look like every generic RPG out there and slap a premium price to play with awful controls. That will take you back to the top...

Its just a shame Square hates console money.

Have they ever commented on why they don't do this? I mean, I assume it's cheaper and easier on android/ios but is that it?

at least it looks prettier than this rpgmarker monstrosity.

If Square actually took the time to make VI look pretty on iOS, i would not care at all, but with those shitty sprites, I'd rather play the PSN version of VI.

It's a disservice to the game the way they are treating it.

Well, if FF5 iOS was any indication, the enemy sprites should be high quality. They were easily the best part od the remake.

Yeah probably better off not keeping my hopes up. I loved what they did to the game in FF4 DS. Made the game so much more fun to actually play. Dammit is it too much to ask for the same treatment for another FF? :(

This looks a lot better than their ios version of FF5, but they've still fucked up the visuals so far.

That being said, I'd totally buy this if it launches at a reasonable price. Of course, it's Square Enix on ios, so it will be 2-3x a reasonable price, and I will continue to play this game on other platforms.

While low-res, the SNES version felt like it was based on some classy art design... The new one makes it look like it's based off of cheap generic anime design.

One customarily does not tolerate a loss of detail in character sprites when calling a refreshed product 'HD.'
