that works best with 3d models or large 2d sprites. the sprite size in nes games is 8 by 8, i think it was. you can't cram too much into such a small space.
i think, color adjustment or head change could be done though. but as You said before, it might be useless for the screen at the time, and add more development cost and time which is super precious even more at the time.
yeah, definitely. going by some of the stuff that i've heard about ff1, they spent quite a bit of time designing the character classes and trying to make each one distinct and recognizable as much as possible. and for the nes ff games, they had 3 colors to use per class. and the first one shares the color pallets between 3 classes each. the warrior, white mage and red mage all share the same pallet and if you change one color, it changes for all of them.
I recall there is an article about artist is hard to enjoy their art is bounded with limitation. i think it's about lennus 2. they are surprised that their concept is well done in the pixel form. so based on this assumption of mine, i think lot of artist back then, cannot had much enjoyment to create some artform of theirs vs hardware limitation at the times.
i hadn't heard about that.
This is awesome!!! Definitely have wanted to do this on a system like Sega Saturn where games are just incredibly expensive.
thanks. i plan on doing this for some more of my games.
i'd say play 10 first.
i'd argue 4, 5, 6, and 7
That's also where I'm leaning. While I haven't seen FF7 running on a CRT to really make those background pop in quite some time, I also haven't seen FFX with the (imo) superior original graphics and facial expressions since I was a kid. Gonna be very nice to witness both of those games in their full glory once again <3
God this trailer got me so pumped back in the day! It was wild to learn that at the time they had only recently decided upon the general concepts that would eventually become FFXIII's battle system. Mere months prior they had a lot of general concepts and assets made, but parts of the story and the combat system in general had still been super tough for the team to figure out. When executives told them they were gonna put a FFXIII demo on the blu-ray release for Final Fantasy: Advent Children the team had to really scramble to hunker down and figure out a path forward to finish a demo and finally push to finish the title. Considering it had been in development for years at that point, that's so wild to think about.
FFX and FFVII are definitely my favorites. Honorable mention to V, VI and XII tho!
I first tried this game, and the Zodiac version is the only way I'm interested in doing it again. First time I gave it a chance, despite not being into the mechanics and premise, and got up to the Rogue Tomato before I got mad I couldn't beat the T-Rex and I quit. On top of that, we had to play as this loser Vaan, while his sexy ahh bro dies right away. Some bullshit.
I replayed it this spring emulated with native settings on my CRT and it was glorious. It looked so unbelievably good, a billion times better than any remaster.
did you know Vaans surname is "Ratsbane" hehe.I first tried this game, and the Zodiac version is the only way I'm interested in doing it again.

If it turned into an MMO through internet capabilies or linkup, then I'd have been more interested. I just didn't like how it was set up like an MMO, but not an MMO. From any other company, it would be acceptable, but for a franchise that has had several multiplayer main entries throughout the series, it was kind of a slap in the face.
XD
