It's just that most of the screenshots of this remake that are always posted have a disgusting blinear filter applied that makes it look far worse than it does.

>>320395912
>Sample quality wise it's identical to SNES though.

No, it isn't. The GBA version has inferior sound to the SNES version, the GBA's sound chip is not as good, it cannot be as good.

For all of you who are confused in the thread and haven't played FF3:

Play the original SNES version. No patches. There is no reason to change the game from what it was on release.

The GBA version has a fucked up color palette, fucked up music, and fucked up resolution. Play the SNES version. Always play the basic, original version of any old game. Do not patch it.

If you're talking among the snes games? I'm pretty sure 5 takes that title. the reason that was the snes one that wasn't localized

They look fine though still worse than the original, the filter only makes them look even worse.

They need stronger outlines and better shading/less pastel colors, but overall they aren't as bad as the screenshots show.

it doesn't have the same issues that Chrono Trigger has with speed but the translations aren't fixed. it's got some of your content but nothing worth the trouble. if you want to see the cutscenes just YouTube them.

I'm not gonna lie, some of these sprites look cute.

Yeah, that and they clash with the environment really badly.

Personally if you ask me they could probably also use a better palette but I'm just being picky.

PS1 is exactly like the SNES version, except with irritating load times. It's playable, but the fact it was released at a time when CDs were bragging about being the superior video game format, yet failing to perform as well as a cartridge game was ridiculous

THERE IS A FUCKING MUSIC PATCH FOR THE GBA VERSION, ONLY FOR EMULATORS SINCE IT DOESN'T WORK ON REAL HARDWARE, THAT ADDS SNES QUALITY SOUND, AT THE COST OF LOSING STEREO OUTPUT.

The translation doesn't matter whatsoever. If you play the original SNES version you are playing a game that everyone considered legendary, that every reviewer gave 9.5/10s to, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it.

The GBA version is inherently broken due to the GBA's LOWER SCREEN RESOLUTION. YOU CANNOT PATCH THIS. THE ART WAS MADE WORSE IN SOME INSTANCES FOR THE GBA VERSION.

GOD DAMN IT FUCK FUCK. It's not even MERELY that it's bad: if all the remasters were bad then we'd know the company had just turned to irredeemable shit and that'd be that, it sucks but it happens. Can't expect anything in that case anyway so there is nothing to be let down about.

No, what really bothers me is that THEY ALREADY DID A BETTER JOB ON FF4. The PSP remaster was perfectly solid, had a decent art style and layout and so on. Yes there are things that could still be better, but overall this would have been an entirely decent way to go for FF5 and FF6. Instead they actively downgraded. And no, "mobile" isn't even an excuse, smartphones are perfectly capable of doing anything a PSP could and more, particularly in a JRPG. If fucking Capcom of all people could make MHFU iOS fantastic, anything less could be fantastic also.

Instead FF5 & FF6 were active total downgrades, not merely lazier but effort expended to literally make them worse. Yes damn it I am mad.

All of those aside from resolution can be fixed by using a patch.
Patches that work on an emulator because you're using stronger hardware. It doesn't matter if the GBA can't handle it because your computer (and likely PSP or whatever else you decide to use) can.
The GBA version still has extra content and a different (arguably better, some say Woolsey's has more "charm", some think it's bumfuck retarded) translation.

Also a personal bias, I think the bulky font and the spell names in the SNES version suck hard.

They're absolutely disgusting.

It's like Square told the artists to take the original sprites and make them 3 times the original resolution. They did that, literally, and stopped there without adding any extra details. There's almost no shading at all. Look at the one's with Terra bowing her head and the one with her holding both arms up. There should be shadows under the chin, on her legs, and highlights on her arms.

The SNES sprites work because the shading is spot-on and the details are implied. With bigger sprites you can't hide lack of detail.

When some poor sod does the work and puts in the original sprites I'll pirate this.

This is how I played IV, with the video cables to my tv. and I loved it. I quit half way through the expansion content though that shit was boring.
>>
>>320396726
You shouldn't play the GBA version regardless because the inferior resolution breaks the art of the game tremendously.

The translation doesn't matter. You won't experience any difference in the game due to the translation. You will due to the graphics.

I honestly preferred the enhanced sprites and extra content of the PSP version myself, but it had some extra challenge in places which I could some people liking. Not that FF4 is ever that hard no matter what but I appreciated the thought. Comes down to personal taste overall though.

Relatively depending on how fast you went through? Sure, I guess that's fair enough. But in the context of vidya overall it's still not so bad, particularly if you took some time to explore the world, do side quests and so on which I think is a lot of the fun of the genre. I always kind of figured the difference in level between a lot of the game too then and the final dungeon was at least somewhat based around the assumption that a lot of people would take the period before you embark on the last quest to finish up a lot of other content, get stuff like adamant armor and so on. So they were maybe trying to balance a bit for a significant power jump during that time. At any rate I remember the challenge just being fun not frustrating, but I'll admit it's been a while.

1 and 2 replaced it with the now standard MP system, 3 keeps the charges system since it's a higher res DS port and that had it too.

GBA versions are fine too but PSP has more detailed sprites, higher quality music and an extra dungeon on top of what the GBA port added. The only minor downside is they're two separate games instead of one on the GBA.

Frankly FF5 and 6 are kinda boring. FF6 has a good ensemble cast but the difficulty is pathetic and that really stops me from finishing the game. As for FF5, the only thing that game has going on for it is the Job system, and even then it's more in idea rather than execution (because the execution is awful and really grind heavy). FF5 suffers from a shit plot, bad pacing, dull villages that all feel copy and pastey and generic and boss and monster encounters that are not engaging in the least. It doesn't feel so polished, like it's more of a side project rather than a main title.

FF4 is the only good SNES FF game as it is a much better overall experience. It has the polish, the story, the pacing, the music, the combat, the characters; it does it all.

That was more a problem originally then in practice nowadays, because almost nobody is actually going to be playing one of these on PSP hardware they'll be doing it on something else emulated. Which in turn means both games are still right there in solid state which eliminates most of the loading/swap trouble.

>>320399212
I strongly disagree but I'm glad there were games different enough that different people could find at least one they liked. And of course there was Seiken Densetsu, CT, and so on, lots of variety of JRPGs just talking Squaresoft alone. Damn shame how that all went away in favor of just one single thing.

Eh, I felt like it did the job it needed to given the gameplay, characters and music. Maybe it's because I played 4 & 6 first, then replayed 4-hard, but I had no problem with something lighter that made way for a lot of fun with all the jobs and such. I can understand why others would feel differently but nothing about it BOTHERED me, it wasn't as engaging and FF5 definitely felt kind of a "in-between" game (which I guess it was) but I still liked it.

Most of us have played FF6, repeatedly, and often various mods too, across multiple platforms over years and years anon. We don't need to wonder about the gameplay or look because we know it. What the mobile ports brought to the table was possible balance changes (already dealt with in GBA though) and interface/grafix, which both fucking suck. This is not some unknown brand new indie game /v/ is shitting on sight-unseen, don't try to pretend it is. Hating what they did with the mobile remasters compared to previous GBA, DS, and PSP remasters is completely legitimate.

Except cheating (before you've thoroughly played vanilla anyway) makes things worse. Whereas most people need filters to either try to make a game better or even just to get the original graphics at all (because most people long, long since stopped having working CRT TVs).

I was assuming you were talking in general. Well in that case... i have to agree (possible because i have a bias against square enix).
But still i have played many snes games and ended up not caring for final fantasy 6 (or 3 or whatever). Well if i was curious and oblivious to the existence of emulators, i might have ended up buying it (probably not because of my bias against square enix). Buying something out of curiosity is fine. Being pissed about poor quality is our right as a consumer.

I didnt change shit. I pirate extensively, and for all reasons.
Refusing to buy a game for less than half off, or less than 70% off during the big sales sends a stronger message than pirating out of spite because the accountants and industry analysts all ride on a wave of confirmation bias that people only pirate because they feel some "criminal high".
Voting with your wallet is the best way to punish the industry, and Square especially needs to be taught a lesson.

FF4 has two remakes that are better than the original. They also gave FF1 and 2 multiple remakes. There's an FF3 remake too but it's kinda garbage.
So why did they get lazy with FF5 and 6? I'm going to guess they were more effort to remake than SE was willing to put forth, as neither of them are as popular FF4 - so we get the half-assed shit that is the FF5/6 mobile 'remakes' that are worse than the originals.

Eh? Is this actually true? FF5 sure, that was always kind of a off-title, but FF6 has consistently ranked as one of the top favorite FFs ever. Fights about whether FF4 or FF6 is the better sprite FF have gone on a long time but I never had the impression that FF6 was at all unpopular, quite the contrary. It was enough to justify doing a bunch of new CGI (expensive back then) cutscenes even back for the PS1 ports. And it's not like the PSP was some ginormous market either.

I think the more likely reason was that both were done as a rapid, lazy cash-grab that Squeenix did just to get onto the mobile train as fast as they possibly could in as cheap a way as possible. They put on not merely the b-team but the d-team interns and pumped it out with zero QA.

The loading times make it not even worth playing. I fucking loved it on SNES so I got it on ps1 back in the day to replay it and EVERY FUCKING BATTLE has a long load pause. I don't even think I got out of Narshe because I was so annoyed at it. I'll never play on of the PS1 shit games ever again.

The reason the sprites stick out so bad is because they are almost devoid of shading.

It's also why the enemies and summons look so great: those have a TON of shading and benefited greatly from upscaling+filtering. The mobile sprites don't match the perspective or shading style of the entirety of the game.

>Now this is Final Fantasy VI: Woolsey Uncensored Editon. The goal was to make the SNES version uncut and to clean up the script but keep the nuance used in the original script. The Woolsey script is used as a base, and went line for line looking at the FFVI Advance, RPGOne, and Lina Darkstar scripts to do this. Also used was various tools and patches to uncensor the graphics, restore Character Class names, extend spell names, rename monsters and items, and make hopefully the version of Final Fantasy VI that everyone will play. Any bug fixes or additions that were used were chosen not for any balance changes, but to fix persistant issues in the game, as to not change the experience of the original too much.

I've tried stuff like BNW and while there were a few interesting changes overall it sucked, the script writing was just horrendous.
