But I think the execution is a bit lacking.įor one, it feels like there’s too much overlap among the espers. I still like the idea of the espers more than FF7 and its materia, due to liking character building as opposed to slap powers on everyone and trade. I still love FF6 but coming off years of the FF5 Four Job Fiesta and even FF7, which I often compare it to, has exposed some more of its flaws to me. Game Balance Thoughts Sabin’s Blitzes are better than most other characters’ talents The cleaner instrumentation and higher energy in its second loop really bring out its potential. Searching for Friends – This theme of determination is the world map theme for the World of Ruin. Phantom Train – The banjo in the beginning has an added sense of sorrow and mystery and the brass that joins in feels appropriately overbearing like being trapped on a train for the dead.ĭecisive Battle – Already a theme I loved, it now combines electric guitar with violin. Mines of Narshe – Sounds more like echoes and sounds from a mine plus I enjoy the saxophone. Music Update Callouts The opera scene received a lot of attention And actual vocals were added to the scene. Celes’s solo has 2.5D effects to bring the set alive. There’s now lighting and an audience, making the opera seem more real. The most iconic scene of FF6 is the opera. On that note, they enhanced some other iconic moments. Now he uses Aqua Breath to blast water at the fire, making the scene look much better. In the original game he throws some generic magic stars at the fire. For example, Strago tries to use his magic to put out a fire. ![]() However, there are some moments when a special effect is used and those got touched up. Most cutscenes are still rendered with the in-game engine and that leads to tight limits on expressions and actions. ![]() rzVDehEfNA- Craig Romanowski April 29, 2022 ![]() One of the best things about the #FinalFantasyVI Pixel Remaster so far is how pissed Terra looks when she's about to attack. In general, they managed to add just a bit more detail that makes the sprites look better. Relm’s outfit looked very compressed with the old sprite and now looks more defined. His new sprite looks much more like his concept art, has better colors, and you can clearly see his ponytail. His old sprite had this weird green color (likely due to SNES palette limitations), looked very boxy, and my eyes never saw his ponytail on it. The biggest standout is Edgar’s new sprite. Graphics Update Callouts Edgar, top left, has a much better sprite This post will build off the thoughts I put down then and focusing on what I noticed in this playthrough with the remaster. There’s also some quality of life updates like auto-battle.įF6 has long been one of my favorite FF’s but it’s now been 8 years since I played it. All the characters in particular have been redone. The Remasters focus on sprite and music updates. The Final Fantasy VI Remaster came out early 2022. The first batch of remasters came out in 2021. Square-Enix has released Pixel Remasters for the first six Final Fantasy games. I had high expectations for XC3 after how much I liked XC1 and the game met and surpassed those expectations. The gameplay was fun, more fluid, and more user friendly than XC1 which I already enjoyed. The plot gripped me throughout as I constantly wanted to know what would happen next. Game of the Year / Favorite New Game: Xenoblade Chronicles 3 The whole game builds on the gameplay with more and more customization and fun sidequests. The first half has tons of amazing plot moments and a great narrative. FF9 still captures me with its well-done plot and gameplay. It was close between this and FF6 but I’m going with FF9. It also required me to use a morally-dubious tactic to get the win, fitting the tone of the story. It took me a couple tries and even my success went down to the wire. The early chapter defending the demanse from General Avlora was a thrilling fight. Triangle Strategy was a good challenge that had me thinking and planning ahead on most turns. The game plays well and the attitude and background touches are humorous and great.Īs usual a strategy game ends up here. It was a great blend of fan-inspired passion and professional development. I expected this to be like a fun burst of nostalgia but I was immediately impressed by how good this game is. But otherwise it was a charming RPG with cool out-of-battle time mechanics. I also was a bit underwhelmed that the signature time skills weren’t more useful in battle. The main disappointment was the game breaking bug that cut my playthrough short. I feel bad putting an indie game here but unfortunately it fits.
