And then they reverted to the Wonderswan sprites in the GBA version, but in typical wash-out mode, yay, these direct conparison really illuminate that. It does give me a little more appreciation for the PSP monster sprites, they generally went through the effort to pick and choose between the Famicom or Wonderswan poses and put their own spin on them. The problem I had with the PSP sprites is that several of them are reused in later remakes whenever similar designs come up starting with FFIV, which is too same-y (I had the same issue with Pokémon remakes), and sometimes they take from the Amano concept artwork too much (like the FFII Soldier having a face, which yeah it might've originally had glowing eyes due to hardware limitations, but it clashes with the opening FMV and makes them look stupid). Then there are the spinoffs who realized all the in-game Emperor redesigns were goofy and went with the golden, regal Famicom version.
