Pixel Remaster is muuuuuch better

Other than the shit font and simplified colouring on the sprites lacking contrasts relative to the originals.

The font shit was overblown because I never even noticed.

The latter yeah.

And they eventually added options to change it too

I specifically remember 1 particular battle where I could steal the entire set from him. It was 1 very specific battle only though.

I think he's talking about the PSP version, cause you can't steal Genji in that, had to get it through multiplayer, which sucked cause nobody near me had the damn game.

In the PS1 version you can absolutely steal it in chapter 4 at Limberry Castle. From what my old brain remembers, the ideal way to do it was to create a Ramza with a birthday in a specific month and then max out as much Bravery as you can ( I think ) to get your Steal percentage to 9 or 10%

It was super annoying because if any of the girls died, the battle was over, so it was a fine line of keeping everyone alive long enough to get all the armor. I remember getting it all though. Was super proud of myself, especially not having played tactics based games before that.

I did specifically mean the PSP version, War of the Lions, yes.

**Kirin** · 2024-03-15 10:24

I would hope that any baseline for a Tactics remaster is taken from WotL and not the OG PSX release.

The corny quotations can come, but maybe with a toggle to turn them on and off?

After the XVI DLC and PC launch, and then Dawntrail this summer, we really don’t have much in the way of announced FF titles for a while. I imagine VIIR part 3 is a minimum two years away. They haven’t even hinted at XVII. Theres the rumored Tactics remaster and IX remake rumors but still nothing official.

This may also be in part to their development reorganization they have not detailed yet. Mana is in the hopper too.

Also DQXII and DQ3. Both are overdue for news of any sort.

Part of me hopes they have been working on a Type Next or something else in secret

**Zealot** · 2024-03-23 09:52

DQXII will be the last game with Toriyama's artwork

**Koyangi** · 2024-03-23 10:47

They should just end there.

**Anoat** · 2024-03-23 11:25

They’ll probably just feed every bit of Toriyama artwork into an AI generator and be like “make that but in a different color” for future games

Regarding FFIX remake rumors:

During PAX East panel today, the pre-order and collector's edition bonuses for XIV's Dawntrail expansion were revealed and they are all IX themed, including Zidane and Garnet minions. When asked why they were IX themed Yoshi P replied "Secret!"
