I like seeing that fast forward symbol! Let's hope it's a feature in all of these games.

The sprite of Celes looks an awful lot like the one from the mobile release. I don't like it.What exactly is the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Series? Here's what we've managed to find out | RPG Site
Square Enix announced new versions for Final Fantasy I through VI - but what are these versions based off of, or are they entirely new? We've analyzed the trailer to figure out what we can.www.rpgsite.net
Nothing new that we haven't discussed in this thread but still nice
Curious why there is so much focus from fans on the FF3 port when it's generally cited as the worst/one of the worst classic FF games?I wish/hope there's a way I could just buy FF3 standalone. This seems like the best official localized way to play that game. For 1/2/4 I'd go PSP, 5 GBA, and 6 SNES still (luckily I personally have access to all of those versions).
Hm, but what makes you think they will bring them to Console at all? Why would they do so after PC/mobile? Why not just not announce them for Consoles, or say they were coming to them later for that was the plan?Yeah exactly.
I dunno. I'm super gutted these are Steam/Mobile. I know they'll come to consoles eventually but I don't want to wait another year on top of whenever these come out.
Just emulate the PSP version at this point.
The pain still hurts. :( Going from so much joy to so much disappointment in the span of a few (literally) seconds with no console release, I just wanted to play these on Switch so much. :'( I'm so baffled by the decisions companies make in this industry.
Why do the Saga and Mana games get SUCH better treatment than the classic FF games? Saga fans feast all the time lately and Mana not much different. What's next? Beautiful re-releases of old Quintet/Enix games (lolz yea right)... but you want to play a nice version of FFV on modern console? Piss off!
How is FINAL FANTASY of all things treated so poorly? >:|
Only FF6 is being downgraded. FF5 had the same pixel style as FF4, which seems to be the style that these remasters are going for.
Still, everything is a downgrade compared to the PSP versions.

I am even seeing the very people that say it's the worst FF game also being very particular about having a better way to play it.
What am I missing?
Got it. Thanks this makes a lot of sense.Part of it is because it's a fixable meh/bad game. The enemy progression, high difficulty, and ruthless final dungeon make the game somewhat daunting and unfun. The DS version arguably made some of these things worse. But we've never seen another rerelease. One could potentially rebalance things and make the game actually fun.
Another is just completionist sake. Almost every other Final Fantasy game has a version I'm satisfied with. The PSP versions of 1/2/4 are gorgeous and pretty much the perfect remakes, and the SNES version of 6 is still beautiful today. It's true that none of these are accessible on modern platforms but I'm a weirdo who readily has a bunch of different platforms hooked up and ready to be played. I guess it's unfortunate that we still don't have a version of 5 without any kind of visual or audio compromises though (the GBA version's sound isn't perfect, though I personally think that its OST holds up better on the GBA's soundchip than 4 or 6).
So like... anybody else losing their mind that FF3 might finally get a definitive version with what would have probably been the wonderswan remake?
It's dumb not to announce them for console at the same time, but not as dumb as not releasing them on consoles full stop. So yeah I definitely think these are coming to consoles in the future.Hm, but what makes you think they will bring them to Console at all? Why would they do so after PC/mobile?

The versions on steam are the lesser versions with bad art and ugly UIs and all that. Classic FF isn't really tolerable on PC as of right now.This is so odd considering these titles are ALREADY on steam and mobile...
Yeah, it's important to remember the brain trust behind the original FFs is mostly all gone. It's quite clear that nobody at SE cares about those games anymore.Saga gets treated well as Kawazu is still there, has the juice, and seems to really care about the SaGA games. Who is there to care about how the old FF games are handled? One of the key FF developers (forget who) expressed surprise people hated those FFVI steam sprites. They thought that was good lol
Idk why anyone is assuming these are coming to console. When Square we're proud of their atrocious mobile versions none of them came to console either, neither did Chrono Trigger.
It was never officially avaiable in its original incarnation in the west, only in a 3D remake.Curious why there is so much focus from fans on the FF3 port when it's generally cited as the worst/one of the worst classic FF games?

You're right, thanks.
yesSo I still cannot find an answer.
Are they redoing the sprites for these games or not?
Indeed.Things like this make me really glad that Yuji Horii has such a tight grip on the Dragon Quest franchise... I don't want to even think about of what it would be now if Square had any say in it.
They never brought the older ports of FF3-6 to Console after porting them to PC/mobile either, tho. Same for Chrono Trigger. I mean, I hope you're right, I'd love to play them (as I only have a Chrome book atm, no access to Steam, and I hate playing anything on Mobile), but their track record isn't looking too good here man. :(It's dumb not to announce them for console at the same time, but not as dumb as not releasing them on consoles full stop.

And even if they weren't before, they will be now given the reaction!
