Damn that's some hyperbole chill. Go play FF6 then. And if 6 does get the HD2D treatment the original will still exist for you to play.

It's official: we need remakes of Final Fantasy 6 and Chrono Trigger in "HD-2D" | Square please stop fucking around and get on that shit.

The problem is, no, it doesn't. These ugly-ass versions, like the iOS version before them, would effectively replace the original games because they'll be the only ones Square wants to sell or support. And eventually there aren't gonna be working SNES consoles anymore. I don't exactly have one lying around.
You can have a problem with the mobile version replacing the original, and that's valid and something they actually did. But in no way will an HD2D version replace anything. There isn't anything to replace because it would be an entirely separate product. You don't see SE taking 7 classic off of stores because of Remake.
I never liked the look of Octopath but DQ3 does look like an improvement to me. Did you dislike what they did with DQ 4-6 on the DS? To me this seems like the same idea.
The only downside I see is that (unless I remember wrong) those games were designed to allow camera rotation giving you some interesting angles, but this looks more like a diorama from a fixed view.
I wouldn't. It looks like a cheap mobile game, just of a different kind than the crappy FFVI iOS version. It has that same cheap "nothing on screen fits together" look that so many modern gacha games have.
I'm of the opinion that Final Fantasy VI is going to get that treatment after Final Fantasy VII Remake is complete.
Then I'd say just leave it dead, honestly.
Seriously. I don't know why we need to mutate old games into another art style when we can just preserve the original art and the original intent.
Yeah I think this is the correct answer. Fix the second disc, and put it in this art style. Xenogears higher resolution sprites would kill in this look.
Is there someone that wants to make the argument that they wouldn't buy this over the Mobile/Steam version of Final Fantasy VI?
This looks gross.
the lighting is the worst part of all these pictures, along with how tonally different the backgrounds and sprites look

Came here to say this, glad I'm not the only one thinking about Golden Sun in this style!
I'm actually playing it again on my GBA, and it's still gorgeous.
Xenogears wouldn't benefit from this. It needs a full scale remake with voice acting. It's my favourite game of all time too so I need it in all of its glory.
I don't disagree, but the odds of SE giving a Xenogears remake the same budget as the FF7 remake are pretty slim.
I don't hate Octopath artstyle but I agree with you! FF6 deserved a better graphic than Octopath.

This looks so bad it's not even funny. My god

Can tell you right now, I genuinely think these look awful. I was NOT a fan of how Octopath looks and I hope they don't just keep doing it. It very much bothers me how out of focus things become the further from the center you are. I had this same problem with the Links Awakening remake that I couldn't finish it.
Not for me.
I feel like the next Square game that should get the remake treatment is FFIX. It's aged terribly but it's, in my opinion, the best FF all around.
Yeah, no. Not in this soul-less style. FF6 needs to remain in its gritty world and CT'd art is untouchable.
If we're asking Square for the moon, give me a re-release of Xenogears with an un-fucked/complete Disc 2.
Good god. Mobile/Steam ain't great, but this actually offends me.
I hate that my eyes have seen this, and my long weekend is ruined because of this.

They would have to rework all the dual screen stuff and why do that when you can just dump the shitty ios version on people?
I would buy this over the mobile version for sure, but it's not what I would want from an HD2D version of FF6. The way DQ3 was adapted looks great. And I would expect the same care put into a FF6 conversion.
The HD2D style is great, and very well received, but some people really hate it. The good thing about those that hate it is how passionate they are in their hatred because it makes their opinion so easy to ignore. There is no interesting critique worth considering because they simply do not like it on a madly personal level. No useful criticism to take from that.
What I like about the HD2D style is that is a Frankenstein. You have various layers of detail that create this false memory of how 16-bit games looked. Much like how Victor Frankenstein used various humans parts to create a false image of man with his monster. And that monster is beautiful in its own fanciful way.
I would gladly take a HD-2D remake of FFVI but my dream is to have a full 3D remake that sports an aesthetic that tries to render Yoshitaka Amano's art style.
Not an easy task, but have always wanted to see Amano's style come to life as the baseline for in-engine graphics in a game.

How is the DS version better than the current Steam version? The Steam version is by far the best version of the game now it's had all its updates.
Maybe, still gives me another reason to replay it though
Any reason why they are doing dragon quest 3 instead of 1 first? Is dragon quest 3 considered the ff6 of dragon quest or something? I don't know much about the DQ series
Glad I'm not the only one that actually doesn't like the Octopath style. Everything just looks like a garish mess to me. The bloom lighting abuse, overuse of depth of field and clashing of mismatching tile art. But the worst might actually be the constant warping on the character and enemy sprites when the camera moves. That just looks horrendous. DQ3 is their best attempt yet, but I don't want it for either FF6 or Chrono Trigger.
You will be waiting 8 years for the full game, and a lot of things would also probably be cut
no thanks
Realistically, I'd give 3 to 4 years. They already have a foundation with the VII Remake assets.
