Final Fantasy NES.

There is something very simple and charming about the sprites that make this game still look amazing. Modern FFs have completely lost that feeling.

FF1-5 have a distinct look and graphic style that tells you that you are playing a Final Fantasy game. Starting with 6, they just started doing different stuff every game, until they settled on the sterile, washed out CGI look in 12 that they've been doing every since.

I really like the classic style, and think that 5 has the best graphics in the series, with excellent use of color and detail in the enemy sprites and tilesets. 3 and 4 also look great, too.

I know going "old thing good, new thing bad" is trite especially for this board, but holy shit I can't stand how modern FF looks. They don't even look like anime characters, more like live-action cosplayers or JPOP musicians. What fucking happened?

Didn't want to start a new thread for a question so I thought I would ask here
Does the everdrive N8 take an SD card or Micro SD?

>> No.5612514

>>5612493
SD but if you get a short SD to micro SD for Apple netbooks, it will sit inside the case fullt.

>>5612514
I am just getting ready to order an N8 and wanted to know if I should order a micro SD while I am at it. I have spare SD cards laying around. Also my SD2SNES was micro SD, so I wasn't sure

I think they're based on the carrion crawler from D&D?

For me, a big part of the appeal in FF1 and a lot of older RPG's is the way they capture the "tabletop" aesthetic. Player characters have enough detail that you can recognize what role they play in a party, but still leave plenty of room for you to project personality onto. Like miniatures in a tabletop game!

How video games should be.

Is this from the manual or a strategy guide?

I was playing it last year for the first time. It was fucking sooo hard. But rewarding in the same time, loved it. Didn't finish it though.

I would love to find a nice hi res of the monster sheet. I probably still have mine around somewhere in a box but its probably pretty tattered
