Mixed. On one hand, it looks like it's a divergent evolution of the WonderSwan Color style, ignoring the hiccups of later graphical styles. On the other hand, some shading details don't seem as congruous as they should be. Why is Terra's hair still so mobile-saturated compared to everything else around her? Hopefully these minor things are just because they're still in development and will be fixed by release.
Also: Square Enix is delisting the current V & VI is a pretty big deal, no word on the rest yet.

Anyone with self-respect would just play the GBA or PSP version of 1 and 2
The SNES or GBA version of 4, 5 and 6
This trash looks ridiculous, fans literally begged them to bring new versions of 4, 5 and 6 to the PC after their catastrophic releases but this doesn't look any better to be honest
All i see is cheap ass rpg maker games that look slightly better than the trash that already exists on steam and mobile
I know they probably only got a tiny budget for these games but man at this point they could just port the PSP versions of 1 and 2 to the PC and use a non profit open source emulator for 4, 5 and 6

Reposting what we can expect to see, judging from the footage in the initial trailer...
>Upscaled Origins-esque visual style in general, with character and monster designs looking like more direct renditions of classic sprites (classes are obvious examples but look closely at Garland and Adamantoise).
>Recent logos for I-III, original logos for IV-VI.
>FF (Fast-Forward) button spotted several times, making grinding less tedious.
>Final Fantasy battles lack MP and instead show your turn's action, suggesting the MP system from DoS-onward has been reverted to the original spell charge system as intended.
>Cecil is show to move diagonally at a point or two in FFIV's overworld, so 8-directional movement looks to be carries over.
>Minimaps are available like later games in the series.
>UI seems to be classic and not mobile.
>Opens with OG music and graphics, which MIGHT imply a music/graphics toggle (not 100% for sure).

The GBA version nerfed the raising stats up to 255 with bard songs/chemist mixes. Shit was fun as shit. You can still get level 255 for LV? spell purposes but the stats and damage calculations are capped to the ones you get in lv99.

It also looks and sounds worse than SNES.

I played the GBA version of 1 and was disappointed, it looks and sounds nice but I don't know what they did the game was way too easy; and the extra content was REALLY not worth it, hours of time wasting bullshit for a few boss fights.

so for FF2 I decided to go with the Famicom version with translation + romhack and I'm having a blast. Actual challenge, actual choices to be made that matter, inventory management, MP management, etc
I haven't had this much fun with a pre-PSX FF since I played FF3 on Famicom some 15 years ago.

Point is, when you have access to translation and bugfixes romhacks, there is little reason to even play the previous remakes so why even bother with these new ones

Yeah, I'm..not sure what your pic is getting at, dude. For the battle screen, the WonderSwan version is off because some classes face sideways while the Black Mage has an angled face, which was clearly inconsistent rough proto sprites. The new one gives the Onion Knights angled sprites like they should and re-adds missing details like the helmet thing. The right is just incomparable due to different class, direction and location. You could've compared the crystal room shown in the initial Pixel Remaster trailer, but you didn't.

and yet it still manages to be better than the GBA version.

The problem with 4 is that there's no canonical English version to play.

- Fan translation of super famicom version.
- Original SNES release that dummies out a lot of cool items and abilities (also has a few bug fixes and tweaks I think relative to the JP).
- GBA version with atrocious graphics and sound, the overall pacing is fucked
- PSP version which is better than the GBA version but is a complete graphics overhaul and feels pretty generic-for-the-era.
- DS version which is a complete rewrite of the game from scratch with different mechanics and game balance.

What I wish there was, and frankly would do myself if I had the time, is a SNES version with all of the JP gameplay content restored as well as the QoL features from Final Fantasy IV Free Enterprise (like dash, item stats on the inventory screen, and so on). You can patch the QoL hacks with existing hacks AFAIK but you can't get the JP gameplay content without getting a whole bunch of other shit you might not want.

My point is, because a dev worked on an old game doesn't mean s/he is a retro enthusiast such as ourselves, especially if they've been working in the industry all this time. All you need to do is watch a couple of youtube "play with dev" videos of old games and inevitably at one point the conversion will shift towards "video games have gone a long way graphically speaking since then etc".

Their mentality would be
>how do I make this old shit presentable for todays audiance
hence the vaseline graphics and the savestates/rewinds presented as "features to overcome the dated mechanics".

Yes this quite a bit of rant I'm just baffled by how so many people care about all these endless shitty remasters and the threads go on forever on /vr/ every time there is one, when only about 10% of them are ever any good. Natsume did great for instance, but on top of my head it's the only ones I can think of.

Lich is a great example of how they can follow the design, yet get it so wrong. the NES sprite looks like a badass force of evil, and the aesthetics are right -- he looks kinda shrouded, with the purple and yellow playing off each other (pardon the pic, it was the most convenient one). the new design is garish and wrong, the yellow looks like spray paint, and it feels like more Papyrus from Undertale pretending to be the Earth Fiend than anything else.

Honestly i don't care about examining every single pixel of the sprites of each version
What really makes me lose interest in this is the concept itself, oh wow the same old final fantasy that i've been playing in a bazillion fucking platforms over the course of two decades
Imagine how amazing it would be if they announced instead they'd task a team entirely of making full blown remakes (not the same quality of FF7R of course)
Not sure i'd want them for titles like 1 but 4/6 etc. it would definitely be amazing seeing their worlds and characters not in super ancient flat and pixelated form

Yeah, it is pretty weird that they're doing away with pink haired white mage when that's been the representation in a bunch of spinoffs and even some mainline games. Red warrior appeared as a Dissidia costume too so it's not like it was forgotten about. If Princess Sarah is keeping the pink hair she had in the original and they're not referencing Dawn of Souls artwork for the green hair she had in the remakes, why bother changing these up? In contrast, the bandana in the remakes fit thief in later games more yet they're keeping the blue hair and potato-sack clothes which makes these changes even weirder.

Anything with more than one Warrior will carry you through the game pretty easily. Three is a bit monotonous so personally, two is fine if you want more variety in your party. You can forget about Thief, it won't be as good as a third-rate Warrior even after class change. Monk is a good choice to off-set some of the expenses you'll make with magic and equipment, and can overpower your Warrior late-game if you grind enough. Black Mage is overrated, especially with some of the magic-casting equipment you'll start getting in dungeons, so for a decent white magic user you'd be down to a White Mage or Red Mage. I would go with the Red Mage. In the original, he casts magic as effectively as a Black or White Mage, and most of the bugged spells are exclusive to Black or White Mage. In the remakes, the really good black magic spell Temper works properly and he has access to it.

Ninjas are great, but by the time you get the class change, it's fairly late in the game. it's up to you to decide whether you want a nerfed character for that long.
>I would go with the Red Mage.
Red Mage is an effective replacement for Black Mage, NOT for White Mage. for black magic, he has all the fire/ice/lit spells, only lacking the instakills and nuke iirc (a definite drawback, nuke is awesome late-game). RMs white magic is much more lacking, he has cures and resistances, but no full party heals and no harm spells, which are so useful against the undead.
>In the original, he casts magic as effectively as a Black or White Mage
INT is bugged, so this is partially true. however, Red Mage gets less spell charges overall, and as I referenced before, no level 8 magic, which means no NUKE or HOLY, the two best spells in the game.
>most of the bugged spells are exclusive to Black or White Mage
I believe most, if not all bugged spells are Black Magic.

>>7917296
inaccurate. the 1st slot is 4/8, 2nd slot is 2/8, 3rd and 4th slots are 1/8 chance each (of being attacked).

>>7917229
you need at least 1 warrior, and a white mage is strongly recommended. if you want to steamroll, I'd go with 2 fighters, black belt, and white mage. for a more balanced experience, I'd recommend one of each character. the best varied party in my experience is Fighter/Redmage/Blackbelt/Whitemage, but you can experiment. if you're into magic, you could try Fighter/Redmage/Whitemage/Blackmage, although the spells will be expensive.

>Ninjas are great, but by the time you get the class change, it's fairly late in the game. it's up to you to decide whether you want a nerfed character for that long.
Ninjas are better in the remake due to having access to a working Temper as well, but they're still not worth the slot over another black magic user. Yes, "better" in that their physical attack deals more damage than a mage, but if you run through the calculations, they will simply never catch up to a Knight of the same level even if that Knight has suboptimal equipment. For what they're supposed to do, they're the most worthless class in the game.
>Red Mage is an effective replacement for Black Mage, NOT for White Mage.
Red Mage gets a bit of a bum rap for being a jack of all trades, but really, physical is more important to maintain than magic in FFI (if the unglitched TAS uses four Warriors, you know this can't be wrong), so if you use ONE mage, it might as well be the one built more like a fighter and who has the least chance of croaking on you. A White Mage is a good alternative since White magic is way more crucial than Black magic in this game, but if you playing a post-Origins remake, this is mitigated by the added healing items. Black Mage is way too weak in all other aspects and will drag you around most encounters making for repeated money-hogging Inn trips. Like anon said, high-end spells don't make up for that since you will can find certain equipment in chests that cast infinite-use Black magic spells, including Kill/Doom/XXXX which is lowkey the best Black magic spell in the whole game. I don't remember if the game tells you which ones cast magic, so if not, reference here: https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_item_magic
>I believe most, if not all bugged spells are Black Magic.
Healara/Heal2 acts like Healaga/Heal3 in battle, though that's actually in its favor...

I usually play through ff2 once a year. I don't think that I have ever leveled up damage magic over 9 or 10. Attack becomes much more powerful with berserk and haste. If you run into enemies with high physical resistance you can easily kill them with mid level spells. If you really want to break the game you can level up one or two of the many death spells (exit, toad, mini, warp, stone, death) because high level enemies, even bosses, are not immune to these spells and the game becomes very easy

>> No.7918453

>>7918448
I'm starting to realize that. Up until the mid game my main caster was carrying everyone, but now its physical strength is the best part... the issue with this game is how long it takes to lvl up magic so it's not worth lvling up more than a few

Warrior and Red Mage are the two "core" classes. Monk is a worse Warrior that gets slightly better offense than the Warrior if you overlevel hard. Thief is just a worse Warrior. White and Black Mage are Red Mages with nearly zero offense and less spells, though slightly more charges and a couple exclusive ones that aren't very good.

The "best party" is 3 Warriors and a Red Mage.

Very true. Once you get past the ultima tower you probably won't cast many spells besides buffs to your party, though ymmv. Even in updated versions it is difficult to justify leveling magic, they made a change where you level more quickly but you still have to pick the spell, pick the target, manage mp, over and over again. Whereas attack is quick and easy and usually more powerful

Don't undersell the monk. At high enough levels the monk definitely out attack and out defend the warrior with 0 cost to your wallet. A fully decked out max level warrior/knight is out performed every time by a max level monk/master. It is very true that the average player is not going to level up that much but it is still worth knowing

he is a jack-of-all-trades, but he's strong through early & mid game. he plateaus in late-game, but by then I have him use spell-casting items. if you have one mage in your party, it's really a tossup between red & white mage. the ultimate party could either be Fi/Fi/Bb/WM or Fi/Fi/Bb/RM. black mage has the coolest design, but as you said, he's usually a liability unless you really want to emphasize magic use.
blackbelt is great for saving money. he starts off slow, but gets increasingly useful after about level 10. by late-game, he becomes a powerhouse.

Funny thing for me is, when I played FF2, I didn't know the 4th character slot would be constantly changing; I thought I'd get my 4th main guy back soon-ish and it'd be a set party from then on. And I decided he'd be my magic damage caster.
Then I spent the whole game waiting for my permanent black mage role to show up, any minute now.

Yeah but warrior starts one hitting enemies before level 10, and unless you are getting really good loot asap that level is around when the monk starts to outpace warrior. If course enemies don't have very much hp so it isn't a huge deal, but it is pretty fun to do 1000+ damage mid game

Final Fantasy 1 is like the anti-Wizardry. In those games warriors are mostly useless meathields who clean up the scraps after your mages nuke the enemy parties, while in FF1 they're your bread and butter while mages are just walking heal potions.

No one really know for sure, but there are a few theories:
1) Square saw that Bandai's handheld wasn't making the traction they had hoped and ceased development of the FFIII remake but shat out a quick FFIV port as consolation.
2) The creative team got too big for their britches and thought FFIII was too good for a 2D remake
3) Key members of the creative team were reassigned to other projects or left the company.
4) Something happened mid-development, like a catastrophic hard drive failure.
Could be a combination of reasons, really.

Play the Clyde "Tomato" Mandelin translation when it's out. He's translating T-Edition and it's almost a certainty that it'll be backported to the vanilla game. Everyone who made a "relocalization" hack was trying to be him with mixed results, and your choices are so saturated right now that you're better off waiting. Or, if you really can't wait and don't mind emulation and hacks, play the LUA translation of T-Edition. It uses the GBA localization at its core, which Mato concluded is the overall best of the current releases (though not without its problems).

Aside from a couple mistranslations here and there, the only real issue with the GBA translation is the translator inisting on throwing in some "iconic" (in his opinion) but incorrect line from the original NES translation. It's a pretty bizarre desicion, if people wanted the SNES translation they'd play the SNES translation, and he replaces so many other equally "iconic" lines any diehard Woolsey nerd is going to dislike his translation for not being Woolsey anyway.

But in general it's a good translation.

It's good by 1994 standards by virtue of being translated by a native English speaker that genuinely cared about delivering a quality product. Keep in mind that that's one year after SNK released Samurai Shodown, so industry standard wasn't even at "make sure the title of the game doesn't have typos in it" level yet.

In 2021 anyone with passable knowledge of Japanese and access to Google could do a better job and the only reason it has any kind of following today is nostalgia.

T-Edition is really unlike any other hack. It has a ton of consideration put into it and outdoes Square Enix in the extras department. For the most part, it feels like stuff the developers would've done if they had the time and room for it - heck, some of the added scenes are things the developers wanted to included but couldn't find a place to put (eg. Strago confronting Shadow). It's clearly done by someone who passionately knows FFVI in and out and respects the source material, and the core story is hardly touched. The only issue I had with it is that it replaced Siegfried with Gilgamesh, but that was several versions ago; the current version is evidently the final one and I haven't checked if that's still true.

In the early 90s, burgers in general had so little exposure to foreign media that they kinda just accepted that foreign products often had poor English because foreigners didn't know English all that well. The idea that native English speakers could be fluent in foreign languages didn't really register too much, and the Japanese developers rarely cared all that much about the foreign markets to actually bother paying someone to translate their games into good English when they could just have some guy on the payroll do it with his high school English anyway.

Depends on which PS1 set we're talking about here.
Origins: arguably the best versions that currently exist outside of that weird subgroup of handheld kiddies that grew up with the tweaked-up gameplay of the GBA & PSP versions.
Chronicles: a mixed bag. FFIV is good in that the SNES version previously released in the US had completely butchered content and censorship, and was actually ported pretty well, but is subpar in terms of the English translation, which is worse than the original J2e fan-translation in some places. Chrono Trigger never had a decent conversion outside of Nintendo formats for some reason and has horrendous battle transition load times in a game that's supposed to have seamless here, which ties in to...
Anthology: absolutely the worst versions of FFV & FFVI up until the mobile versions that Square Enix is now erasing from existence. It's less bearable than PS1 Chrono Trigger.
