The more I try classic Final Fantasy on CRT filter, especially from the SNES era, the more I start to believe how much the Pixel Remasters could have been so much more. These latter ones are made with modern hardware in mind, so inevitably they will look wrong by forcing CRT or similar filters with mods. I think people already made plenty of comparisons and examples about that.

I can imagine how much you in this forum you have discussed the Pixel Remasters treatment here, and I can presume mostly negatively. I believe they're not the worst versions, but neither the best ones. And ofc not because of cut content based on remakes/other remasters.
Final Fantasy VI was definitely the most disappointing of all of them: too much bright, so many bugs and glitches and sprites that look much worse than the originals.

It's cool we got og III for the first time ever thanks to those. And, sure, the opera scene in VI that got HD-2Dified and even voice acted. Yeah, that's about it.

it's kind of funny that you say 6 was the most disappointing one. if i remember correctly, they started with 6 and gave it the most attention, love and care to detail. the other 5 games reuse general assets like sound effects, art style and user interface. even the spell graphics for the first 5 games are reused from 6.

don't you normally play a ff game whenever you disappear for any lengthy amount of time?

i probably have more like 15 ff games started and slowly going through them. most of those are hacks of ff4. just booted up the ff Renaissance game and got some screenshots of it. it's very cool.

actually no, from what i recall people have been mostly saying that they are a good way to play them.

though personally one complaint i have is the removal of content that was in earlier remakes of the games such as party switch in ff4 and soul of rebirth in ff2

Thats a crazy amount......FF Renaissance? That's a mod for FF1 that brings certain aspects of other games to FF1 it seems?

Huh, ok, I gave for granted otherwise. As I already stated previously: these aren't the worst versions (those will always be the ugly smartphone versions of FF V and VI from 2014), but neither the best ones.
And yeah, about your last statement: the Pixel Remasters are all supposed to be faithful recreations of the original counterparts, so it's why all the remakes/remasters content is cut off.

I still think with the visuals something could have done much better, especially since the SNES-era trilogy looks so much better on those eye-candy CRT filters.

it's a from the ground up fan remake of the first game with 2 modes: classic, which i guess is just the regular game with bug fixes [i haven't tried that mode yet but the game does have multiple save files so i'll check that out in a little bit] and renaissance, which has new jobs like dancer, dragoon [lancer], dark night, evoker, time mage and more.
names can be 6 characters long, there are new spells and classes [warrior seems to have a new advance class instead of knight], there is a speed up option that can be accessed at any point, equipment has more details about its stats and some classes have overworld abilities like finding hidden treasure or combat abilities like boosting attack power or magic power or inflecting status ailments more often.

Honestly that's quite the work for such an ancient game yet it's commendable in every way possible

yeah, it is. i would love to see this happen to the other 8-bit and 16-bit games. it would be awesome to have both the original content and newer stuff added in with their own modes for it.

Is there a way to get all the Butterfinger DLC for the FF7 remake on PS4 without buying Butterfinger? I'd love to know.

After the "Patayy" Quistis asks me to follow her to the training area after hours.
For what reason, who knows?

I meet up with her, and she tells me about the horrible monster known as T. Rexaur. So I guess she called me here to kill a dinosaur?? Man, It's late, I'm tired and you want me to kill a whole ass T-Rex? To make matters worse there's even more tutorials. Quistis teaches me how to junction statuses onto my weapons, which is admittedly pretty cool. Now I have a BIT more of a hang of the junction system, the tutorials don't bother me too much.

After the preparations are complete we engage in a glorious battle. A long one too. A long, glorius battle. More Shiva spam than you could ever imagine. I'm glad I figured out this guy is weak to cold.
But it seems like this dinosaur wasn't our "main attraction". As we make it to the next room my eyes are caught by the absolutely stunning scenery. It's midnight as I'm playing so the vibes are well-matched.



Quistis informs me that she's no longer an instructor, and has become a simple foot soldier like Squall. I can tell this news fills her with a lot of grief. I admit so far she's been my least favorite party member because most of her screentime has just consisted of telling me what to do, but I can't help but feel bad for her.



And Squall doesn't really seem to care.




On our way out, we save this girl. After taking down a T-Rex, this bug is no sweat.



Man, what a dick.


Well, Squall's edginess aside, it's time to be on our way. We meet up with our buddies Zell and Selphie!!



Zell makes his grand entrance on his T-Board, only for it to promptly get confiscated. Y'know those are against the rules, right?

Now we're in SeeD we don't have to wear any dumb uniforms.
I'd say we look pretty snazzy!

We're on our way to our next mission, just the 3 of us. But before that, i've got an hour or two of fucking around to do. Before we leave we're given this Magic Lamp. Its item description specifically says to save before using it so I took the hint. Let's see what this thing holds...

YIPES!!! A DEMON!

I really wanted to beat this guy but it was no use. I'll try him again whenever I get my hands on wind magic. I spent the rest of my session playing a shit ton of triple triad soooo. Tune in, next episode of Final Fantasy VIII we venture on to Timber!!!​

CONTINUED PART 8 (holy shit!! just like THIS final fantasy game)​

Also I hate how Final Fantasy has collabs like that... It puts me out of the fantasy ambience.

yeah, that at least had some effort put into it.

Don't set yourself up for disappointment expecting it to be as good as Final Fantasy VII, like I did.

Hope that's not too much of a spoiler!

This person is CRAZY FFVII is junk.

You made the right choice, I really enjoyed FF VIII
