It's Square Enix we're talking about, logic is not their strong point..... I mean we're talking about the publisher that delisted Last Remnant on PC without even releasing the Remaster on it.

I actually kinda like how they look. My biggest fear is always the UI on PC though so since Square-Enix love to just copypaste the mobile touch screen UI without any regard for how it looks on a monitor.
I've been meaning to marathon the classic FF games for a long time so this might end up being perfect for me.

Was talking about the removal of the mobile ports from the Steam store.
Rumor has it that it will be a complete collection with all 6 remasters sold for 60 bucks.
I feel like at least they have a better chance than the old remakes of V and VI since this time they actually bothered with implementing a decent non-touch UI.
Hmmm, then I'll wait until then if the bundle also comes to Steam/Epic Game Store.
Steam and mobile will have them individually release, the rumor didn't state anything about a complete collection for PC and mobile.
Oh, I missed this.
FFI NES and Origins had a level 50 cap and a max of 9 charges per spell level, though Red Mage/Wizard was slower and only hit 7-8 for their top spell levels and Knight/Ninja only had up to 4 for the few levels they had access to.
Origins also had an easy mode that raised the level cap to 99 and increased stat/spell charge gains and probably some other stuff. This was kind of similar to the difficulty level of DoS, but still played differently because DoS changes a lot of the game's underlying mechanics.
I wouldn't be surprised if they carried over Origins easy mode as an option, but I would be very surprised if you could have more than 9 spells of a given level by default.
Very likely, I'd say. A bit like how they're porting the HD remasters of the PS2 games to everything now (you can bet they will get mobile ports once mobiles can run them).
Unfortunately it looks like the FF1 bonus dungeons aren't in :(
But if it came to consoles as a pack/collection it wouldn't have a separate platinum for each game
So am I. Removing the mobile ports from the Steam store when the new Pixel Remasters won't have the bonus content those ports have is, in fact, bad.
Not confirmed but it's not looking good. The footage of FF1 they have shown is lacking a bonus dungeon and they showed every Job Sprite for Bartz except the GBA added jobs.
Four HD 2D games? Which ones? I only know of Triangle and Dragon Quest III.
Octopath Mobile and Octopath 2 (which hasn't been revealed but they've said the next main game is coming)
There's also Octopath 2 which they've alluded to working on, as well as the Octopath mobile game.
When I read that Enuo was added to FFV Advance, I thought that was really cool. My original playthrough of FFV (on PS1), they kept mentioning the guy and the fact he never showed up was kinda fascinating to me. Half expected him to show up at the end after Exdeath but naw, he was just backdrop lore story and that was great. Great choice for an option boss you seek out.
Collections have separate trophy lists and platinums all the time though
These look good, but I also enjoyed the mobile ports. Kind of funny that now that people get the sprites they want that the bonus content is going away. Monkey paw indeed.
I actually don't think these sprites look bad, but I'd probably still just download a mod to replace all the art assets with the NES and SNES originals. Have to assume mods for that will come pretty quick after release.
I do prefer the old sprites but the new ones are fine. And they are much better than the previous remakes. Really hope these come to Switch eventually.
It'll always be baffling to me how even in 2021 with all the advanced programming/art tech, these game companies have so much trouble emulating exactly what we had 25 years ago.
My old 90's self wouldn't believe me if I showed him all this.

With the PSP store shutting down for good.. one only think a company like SE would have known better and port this perfect version instead of the one they are doing right now.....
SE is the most company I really don't get, like they puzzles me the most in the industry.
Easy decisions would have grantee them easy money YET they turn a blind eye to it :\

But the DS version is better, which they did port. And the PSP version doesn't integer scale up to 1080, which is one of the main reasons they are doing these ports (uniform pixel density for everything).
PSP->HD isn't as simple as people seem to think it is.
I get what they were going for but Narshe looks like a bunch of houses were dumped out of a bucket into a canyon.
I never even noticed the buildings in the original. i thought it was just a shot of an empty canyon and you didn't see Narshe until the opening credits.
All the Kingdom Hearts games had separate platinums, as do FFX/X-2.
But yeah, after the Crystal Chronicles debacle, I'm 99% expecting either one big trophy list for all the games or shitty little ones for each. It sucks because I REALLY want to platinum the entire mainline series, but I have no faith.
That's fair. Though I'm pretty sure that's going to be the end result of this.
Indeed, a nice complement to but certainly not a replacement for your favourite 2D version of the game.
With IV they at least need to redo the script or use the DS version. They GBA script it not good in comparison to it.
PSP isn't even 480p resolution. You can't scale that and have it look good on a HD monitor. Not to mention the assets used are just low budget tile swaps and generic new battle backgrounds. I think the approach is go big HD-2D or do a light pixel art remake like what they are doing. The PSP character sprites were laughed at for being Flash animation like back in the days anyway and didn't have half the charm the original character sprites did.

Now I've seen the Pixel Remasters in more detail, no way I'm going back. The PSP battle screen looks fugly as hell in comparison.

Only concern for me right now is the content.
The background actually extends to the bottom of the PSP screen, it is just covered by the UI. So they could just extend the 480 x 270 (technically 480 x 270) to 640 x 360, and then multiply by 3 to fill a 1080 resolution.
Well, that's how I would do it. It would also scale to Switch's 720p screen.
Ahh... the issues of how to convert games that only were 256 x 224 in resolution. (Technically the battle screens were only 240 x 224 with the remaining pixels black)
The battle UI not being in the middle is kinda annoying and irritating -_-"
It's a big mess up for my OCD....
Well they could definitely see it since their first line is "Is that the city?" and then pans over to give a less obstructed view. But they should still be miles away.
