/vr/ - Retro Games

Bought and finished III (Not interested in I or II so no comment on them)

Graphically, the actual assets look great. None of it feels generic at all. The ugly obviously mobile derived interfaces clashes horribly and never lets you forget you are playing a mobile port, however. I would note that FF3 on the NES already looked fantastic, but this remake fixes everything that was so slow about the original. The way the original slowly redraws the screen, the way you have to unequip everything manually to switch classes, general speed of combat.

New music is good. I mostly like the previous remake's music better, but I like the standard battle theme of this one better. And since that is the most common theme, that's great.

Game has been rebalanced from the original. You won't notice until you start getting later classes. Classes like Red Mage are still obsoleted, but Ninja/Sage being the only options is not true in this version at all.

Overall, will replay. Is there some rule that mobile games need soulless, generic fonts and are in different resolutions than the rest of the game, however?

Also, the 3d remake is a masterpiece.
