Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters (Switch) Review

[@powercheif]

Great review! Im currently waiting for the physical copy from playasia. Cant wait to get started on it!

[@me8751]

I caved in. I NEVER buy games at full price. But for this, i made an exception.

[@Toxic3610]

Really wish they included the complete collection of FF4

[@SeventhheavenDK]

It's a collection of FFs from the NES/SNES era, not a collection focused on FF4🤦🏻‍♂️

Great review!

[@ctochtli2964]

I'm really concern about the lower difficulty compared with the original, I just played the original Final Fantasy NES game and I really love it, I love the insane amount of farming required and the punishing and unfair difficulty of the dungeons requiring escape multiple times before being completed. Really put me in a strategy set mind and demands a sharp mind , "I love it" and that reduction of difficulty is really holding me back and prevent my purchase of this games, really bad news to me and apparently I'll be ending using a different source of "emulation" to be able of experience a more suitable experience to my taste but I really don't want to do such thing.

I'll get this game on a discount

[@Toxic3610]

Same here or I’ll look for a physical version. That’s cheaper.

[@MrMartellSincere]

@@Toxic3610 I'm all digital 🤠

[@dvdjkaufmn]

Same. Just can't get on board for 75 bucks, for 35 year old games that I've already played half of..

[@MrMartellSincere]

@@dvdjkaufmn $75 for old games is a rip-off in my eyes.

[@MsModestyBlaise]

Glad you’re one of the few who picked up on the bad frame rate and frame pacing issues. Lazy of SE at a greedy price tag too. I’ll be saving my money until they get patched, if that ever happens.

[@kyoto5]

They will probably do an update patch.

[@MsModestyBlaise]

@@kyoto5 I hope so but it’s an issue on all platforms and that includes the PC versions that are now over a year old now.

[@omega458]

I really want the physical copy, but Im good for now, I only bought ff6 for now cause I always hear its great, trying to beat it before ff16! almost done

[@dvdjkaufmn]

V is easily my favorite one, next to X.

[@junzeroni]

I might pick up the new version of FF3, but I'm pretty disappointed in how Square somehow managed to make FFs 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6 look less appealing than the reissues they put out on the PSX _decades_ ago. Like seriously....the pixel art in the Origins versions of 1 & 2 is superior to this. As for FF4 and FF6, they definitely did not need to touch up the sprites for the characters. It's literally distracting how every character looks like they were drawn with pastels.

[@Bjorick]

I thought that watching youtube videos, not going to lie, but playing it on my switch, in game, i don't notice it. In FF4, when your characters move on the world map, they're a bit too 'chad' or 'square' walking, i can't describe it but i got used to it quickly In ff6, no issue at all, and it looks excellent, this isn't the crap that was the mobile versions with the puffed out chests, and I just got to celes in ff6 but had to pause the game, so i'm not sure if they took out the 'hitting her' scene or not, hopefully not ff4 grinding for the summons was fast and over all, i'd say this is the original games faithfully remade and the stutter issue is there, but it's minor - but youtube does not do the games justice somehow - the actual game on switch looks excellent

[@junzeroni]

@@Bjorick From what I've read, the prison-beating scene with Celes was removed by S-E back several years ago they re-issued the game on either PS1 or Gameboy Advance, because of changes with Japanese rating regulations that would have required them to reclassify the game as 'mature' instead of 'all'. Square went along with censoring it for marketing reasons and it's never been brought back.
