Why would they do this?
This a mobile port or something? How horrifying.
>mobile game
>not expecting it to look like liquid ass
>>319932903
It's the PC port of the mobile remaster of the GBA updated rerelease of Final Fantasy VI.
>make higher res sprites
>less detail than 16-bit sprites
>>319933113
How's the GBA release, in case I wanted to emulate? Does it look like liquid shit?
on a side note, terra is such a qt
>>319933214
It's the best version of the game. Same graphics as the original but with most of the bugs fixed and some extra content.
Only the music quality is a bit worse but there is a patch for that.
>>319933405
Thank you for the information. The Final Fantasy series on the whole is on my backlog, and I want to play the definitive versions of each game.
>>319933214
the colour is dull and grainy, and the audio is absolute ass
>>319933332
Terra > Lightning when it comes to female MCs in FF.
>>319933528
Both can be fixed with patches.
>>319932821
>>319932241
It's amazing that they had the guts to put games that are literally beaming with touchscreen device quality and charge 15 bucks for each.
>>319933503
GBA version also has 2 post-game dungeons, fixed glitches, standardized spell naming (Fire-Fira-Firaga instead of Fire-Fire2-Fire3) and was re-translated. Find the graphics and music patch for it before playing it.
it looks like rpg maker garbage
>>319935946
Bartz is standing pretty far away from Bahamut. How does he hope to hit it?
>This is someones first experience with FF6
Fuck
>>319935946
That Bahamut is pretty fuckable though
>those iron thighs
God damn this looks ugly. I just wish they'd re release these with their original graphics, I'd buy Chrono Trigger in a heart beat. This? Nah.
>>319937545
And it creates two breeds of cancerous fags.
Those who think that older games are objectively worse (as if there wasn't enough of them around already) and those who think those are better than the original SNES versions.
This gives me hope for the FFVII remake. Square truly respects their classic properties.
>>319933568
Not much of an achievement
>>319937913
fucking wished so much they'd give the ff III/ff IV treatment to FF V/ FF VI
atleast the 3d rez is ff VIII tier, this looks legit worse then the original FF sprite work, because atleast that was the best they could do with the NES
god damn, can't they just leave it alone? The old sprites look incomparably better, and everybody knows it is a fucking old game anyway
Worse than the horrid craftsmanship of each sprite is the clusterfuck of stylistic mishmash between them.
>>319938869
FFIV has some weird thing where Square fuckin loves it. I mean the good ole boys at Square. It gets way more than you'd think its sales would dictate.
>>319932241
The laziest and cheapest way to exploit your franchises. Such are the wonders of the mobile business models.
>>319939171
It's all fun and laugh when it's a mobile port.
The real tragedy starts when stinkers like that are pushed to Steam unchanged.

Get the SNES FFIII (USA) Rom and get Woolsey's Uncensored mod. It has the GBA translation with some tweaks to make it similar to the SNES version and as well has the original ost and is uncensored.
It is the closest version to be like the Japanese FFVI (JP).
>>319934345
>>319933528
The music can be patched that's true enough but even with the patch GBA's graphics are still grainy and don't pop as much as the SNES.
I just emulated both SNES and GBA back to back and they're fresh in my mind right now.
>>319933214
The GBA port even with extras and patches would be a fine experience but I just built a new fucking PC with a GTX 970 and the shit emulators for GBA still give me stuttering. Small stuff like animations for enemies fading away and graphics for the spells are also dumbed down for the GBA. Also because the GBA screen is a different ratio everything seems cramped on the screen especially in battles.
My suggestion is playing the GBA version on GBA but graphically it still isn't the best version. That'd be the SNES or PS1 version but PS1 is fucked due to the load times.
I just want a patch for the SNES version that basically takes the GBA script changes at this point.

>>make higher res sprites
>>less detail than 16-bit sprites
That's what makes this whole thing utterly pointless. There's no new detail.
>>319932241
SE acknowledges FFVI is shit and that's the only remake it deserves
:^)
>>319941274
you should be using VBAM, not VBA
>>319942003
I was using VBA-M, but through a nightly build of retroarch.
Would that effect anything?
>>319938869
>>319942382
This
What the fuck were they thinking?
>>319942382
Japan loves FF III, and doesn't give a shit about VI. Not everything is about Murrika.
>>319937738
The updated enemy sprites are really nice to look at, can't understand how they fucked up so bad on the character sprites
>>319942382
I like that V and VI's logos are in the wrong place
>>319942764
Yeah, the enemy sprites are looking pretty solid admittedly
shit <.<
i... just kinda rushed that on ms paint didnt even pay attention
>>319942764
>The updated enemy sprites are really nice to look at, can't understand how they fucked up so bad on the character sprites
The enemy sprites are just tracing the original art work and recoloring it. There's no creativity.

Woolsey's mod fixes the translation issues of the SNES version and reverts the content to the Japanese uncensored version.

>>319943373
Well fuck me, seems like exactly what I wanted.
Thanks anon.
>>319943504
It is the definitive version of the game. Fixes absolutely everything I had wrong with the GBA and SNES versions.
Which is funny because Square Enix is filled with a bunch of incompetent fools if they didn't do this already.
>>319943143
The only spark of creativity that came out in a positive way is the flow of animation for the character, as bland as it is.

There's really not much they could do with the enemies, they only just redraw/upscale them with whatever new release like most of the 2D games.
>>319942382
Well you see, the final fantasy 3 and 4 remakes were originally done for the DS, then re-released on mobile.
5 and 6 were only ever on the GBA at best, so rather than follow up that level of quality, they just slapped a filter on it and called it a day
>>319932937
They didn't even need to change the graphics. The idea was to make it look better as an update, but this is hot garbage
>>319935946
How did they fuck it up so bad when Dimensions looked fine?

Cringe.
>>319944526
I'm cringing and I haven't even opened the video yet.
RPGMaker sprites actually look better than those ugly, awful things that Sqeenix shat all over a classic Final Fantasy.
I don't even know who the hell sqeenix paid to do this. It might've been they hired an executive's son's middle school computer club or something to do it.
FF4 and FF6 were the games that challenged western RPGs. The length, scope and game stories were grand. For some reason Japan likes the one about the potato kids and Butz which was about...meteors, ExDeath and the origin of Gilgamesh tripping and falling into a dimensional rift which made Gilgamesh showing up in FF games become a recurring joke? I don't really remember them all distinctly since they all sort of bleed together.
>>319933405
>It's the best version of the game
FUCKING KILL YOURSELF.
THE GBA VERSION IS NOT THE BEST VERSION OF THE GAME, YOU PIECE OF SHIT.
THE GBA VERSION IS AN UGLIER VERSION OF THE SNES VERSION WITH A STUPID FONT. FUCK YOU.
>>319933503
Seriously do not listen to that guy. The GBA version is straight ASS.
>>319945112
>THE GBA VERSION IS AN UGLIER VERSION OF THE SNES VERSION WITH A STUPID FONT. FUCK YOU.
People will argue this but I literally ran both versions; SNES original and GBA with sound, graphics and font patches.
SNES still looks leagues better.
I like this mobile/PC version and you whiners have shit taste. Nostalgia goggles, anyone?
the issue that we are running into here is that they went in completely different stylistic directions with the characters, enemies, and world. In the earlier versions they made the enemies as detailed as possible with the engine, and the characters less detailed because they wanted them to be animated instead of a static image. But that issue no longer exists, with the existing technology there's no reason for the characters not to be as detailed as the rest of the world. Like they're applying a design philosophy intended for a game you'd play on a tv on the other side of the room to a game you're playing on a small screen right in front of your face.
>>319932821
RPGmaker has better overword
