Why... Why... WHY!!!??

Square is getting worse everyday... And the only ones to blame for this are those that buy this POS and the ones released before!

In all fairness, the PSone Anthology and GBA re-release were the only ones released before this. Which itself is already a lot of remakes, but COMPARED to the others, scoff, pshaw.

And those were both very very good. I'm hoping this uses the GBA text though.

We NEED Squeenix to understand that they should stop giving so much love to FFVII and IV because VI is the best FF.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Looks like shit.

And I'll probably buy it

I would also recommend the MANY MANY great fan mods that pay proper tribute to the original.

The best of which are these

I don't get the "lol nostalgia" posts getting thrown around. As someone who never played FFVI and never had any attachment to the series (I only barely played 5 and 14), I'm not honestly impressed with how it looks either.

I don't really like the sprites because they look way too clean and soft. It's like they resized the sprites and applied some filter to them and barely did much touch ups, all while they just remove some details. Also not a fan of how they took the background and applied boring filters to them. It just looks cheap and in ways really inconsistent. I really think they could do a lot better with this... like the PSP remakes? Those looked really good! Why not attempt with that style at least?

if I had a choice, I'd stick with the versions that has a more polished look. This one gives that really cheap vibe to it and I really don't like it.


I understand the outrage, I've been there with that crappy Mega Man X1 remake for iOS.


And no, I don't actually hate iOS/Android gaming before anyone throws accusations at me!

Looks nice. Why can't they make new RPGs that look like this?

If you didn't play FF1 1990 you opinion doesn't count

This just looks so....wrong.

Ugh. I dunno if it's the nostalgia or what, but they should've left the graphics alone...

Why simplify it? It was so detailed and beautiful for its time... I agree it needs a tidy but to make it look like the new Broken Sword game in terms of textures seems completely out of context!

What blew my mind is that they were there in the SNES original.

Anywho, I like the SNES version better by a large margin. I so dearly wished this could get a proper re-release on the 3DS/Vita. It didn't have to be an upgrade, just the original SNES version with the GBA translation and bug fixes. That is all I want. It's all I've ever wanted

Looks about as ugly as the iOS version of V.

People, just download a snes emulator and a rom of VI. It'd literally take like a second. I hate when the classics are monetized like this. They should be officially free at this point.

I was going to post basically this.

Although it makes me curious what their actual process for making these graphics are, it's clearly not simply smoothing the original sprites, although that is most likely used as the base to go over and remake the sprites. Although somebody is going over each sprite in some form of that process and still letting something so ugly come out of it??

BTW I'm a truest hardcore fan because I already noticed those houses in the background in the original.

Or the GBA Version

Or the MODS of the SNES version

And I would love to see the game rebuilt by a fan. No way in hell SE is ever going to do it justice

Yeah. I know some people didn't like how that turned out but I thought it was beautiful. I'd actually prefer this to a straight SNES port despite what I said in my previous post but there's no way Squeenix would ever put that kind of effort into a 2D remake again. Or, at least I don't think there's a way but I keep waiting for them to prove me wrong.

*sigh*

Next year is the 20 year anniversary.
I sincerely hope they have something else in store to honor one of the greatest games the company has ever made. :/

Man, these teams had like 10 people in them originally.... The tech is pretty simple. They could bring in a few interns with a passion for 2D gaming and chuck them out on the cheap. Sell them on PSN, Live, etc. I swear there's a market for this type of gaming.

The right thing to do would've been to let the Bravely Default team take care of it, but it looks like now they're busy being the Bravely Default team until further notice, which is great for them but it almost doesn't feel worth it now that THIS has happened before they ever even got to V.

I have no love for FFV, but I felt bad for fans of that game last year.
FFV had its 20 year anniversary and it basically comes and goes like a fart in the wind.


At least FFIV got a pretty awesome 20 year honoring. The PSP version was a fucking fantastic collection... and the redone sprite work (as shown in an image in this thread) was masterful.

FF6. My favorite video game of all time. One of the first games I ever truly fell in love with.

Square is dead to me. It's a shame things have turned out this way.

I saw someone sitting in front of me playing a final fantasy game on a Samsung Galaxy Note. I couldn't do it. I need a bigger screen with a controller. But the pics on OP looks really really good.

I wonder if we will ever get like a $30 game where it has Final fantasy 1-6?

If they have the will, possibly 1-9. I think $30 for 9 games is a good idea.

That filter is awful.

I like pure pixel output as well as the advanced CRT filters in something like BSNES. But those fancy SuperEagle, Super2XSal, etc filters are the devil.

when Squaresoft was on fire during the late 90's I was fairly convinced we would get FFVI remade along the design lines of the CG they made for the PS1 release.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Apk08fgDNg


FFVI's overall design aesthetic, Amano's (& Nomura's) character designs, the bleakness of the story... damn... out of all the classic FF's (i.e. pre-FFVII), FFVI seemed like the most remake friendly as far as mass market appeal.

And don't forget to check out the "Forgotten Memories" DLC, which features Cloud and Tifa's son, Deathbringer Strife, as he attempts to save Midgar from Sephiroth's son, Ravendoom. It's only 800 Crysta (or $18.72.33333378 USD!)! (ONLINE CONNECTION AND CLOUD SAVING REQUIRED.)

I feel the same way about 6

It was the first one to step outside the box in art and design and was incredible for it
