  1. So far, the vast majority of the visual upgrades and the new quality of life features make the Pixel Remaster for Final Fantasy VI a strong candidate for being the best way to experience one of Square Enix’s most compelling RPGs. I almost neglected to mention that a bestiary, music player, and gallery are all accessible from the main menu, rounding out the package quite nicely. I’m eager to see how summoned Espers look in all their glory, in addition to the always sublime Opera House scene.

    Final Fantasy VI is a masterpiece that is still better played in its SNES form rather than this Gatorade Frost looking remake. They thought:Final Fantasy VI is a masterpiece that is still better played in its SNES form rather than this Gatorade Frost looking remake. They thought: "The games look too dated for younger audiences so lets make them look as if they're dated ON PURPOSE like the indie games do".

    How on Earth does making the sprites less detailed make them better? Nobody on the original dev team ever said "Let's make this game look pixelated as hell". Pixels were not the aesthetic you got when you played it through an old television, which is why a proper remaster of this game would be to add more detail, rather than taking it away, while being careful to stay true to the original look while not entering RPG Maker/Mobile game territory like the last remake did.

    None of the "improvements" are necessary enough to play this version instead. An HP bar and restored content from the original Japanese version would've been nice too.

    This was just Square Enix being lazy, ONCE AGAIN, with a re-release of an old classic.

    Phenominal game. Great character cast, magical & charming music as is the Final Fantasy norm. The magnum opus of the Final Fantasy series

Good story, nice graphics and the ability to control a whole party of 4 characters (from a 14 characters cast). No eye-candy graphics, no convoluted story, no action based combat. Pure JRPG like Final Fantasy used to be for the first 10 instalment (and none of the titles after these could beat any of them, and I doubt FFXVI will achieve this either). Full Review »
