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!
