Okay phew I thought I was crazy looking at them and thinking "These all look worse though".
FF6 Original Locke looks like he's wearing Leather, FF6 "New" looks like he stepped in Mud and tried to rub it away with his hands.

And Rosa looks too much like celes lol
That's hardly remaster though, more like a small adjustment. Even RPG Maker enthusiasts / artists can probably do better.
....Why change the originals at all? None of those look better.
I just don't know who these are for. You already have the trash mobile versions for people who want a downgrade on a cell phone.
I guess the V remake makes sense for those who want to actually play a 30 year old game without 3 minute load screens like the PSX anthology, lol
It's because everyone keeps calling the mobile ports trash. They're (theoretically) correcting that.
Presently, if you want to play the best versions, you need to have a PSP for I, II, & IV, a fan translated/patched NES ROM for III, and a sound patched GBA ROM for V and VI.
And while the new sprites aren't great, they are better than mobile versions.
I really liked the PSX version of 1.

Of course it was too good to be true. The sad thing though? The FF5/6 sprite sets are still a huge upgrade over the mobile ones.
Yeah, that's why the mobile ports are trash, among other things. How the fuck do you downgrade from SNES-era sprites? Good God, I hate mobile games.
I'm still confused why they thought that was a good idea. The FF1/2/4 PSP games had wonderful sprites and then we get these flat, pastel looking things which look like a ton of copy/paste from some RPG Asset cllection.
I was talking to a buddy about how fucking hype it was going to be to see the intro CS to FFVI in 2.5D. The snowy death march towards Narshe with Terra's theme playing...
You botched it, SE. You botched it good.
I will say, the enemy sprites in the FF6 Mobile version are pretty awesome, just the character sprites are dogshit.
The games will release in order, and FF1 will be next month.

The recently announced Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series will launch in order starting in July, Square Enix announced in a now-removed presentation video.
So they're up for preorder on Steam.
1 and 2 are 12 bucks, 3-6 18
The games are based off the original versions, none of the extra content added in the GBA versions or otherwise. There's some screenshots for 1/2/3 and it looks.... bad.
screens are up for 3 now as well and yeah, this is shocking. what the fuck is that font?!
Yeah, that font is absolutely horrible. Give it 1-2 years for a price break and modders to fix that shit.
Christ. I was looking forward to getting V maybe. But not at that price with no extra content.
Individually...
Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster – $11.99
Final Fantasy 2 Pixel Remaster – $11.99
Final Fantasy 3 Pixel Remaster – $17.99
Final Fantasy 4 Pixel Remaster – $17.99
Final Fantasy 5 Pixel Remaster – $17.99
Final Fantasy 6 Pixel Remaster – $17.99
Total US$95.94 (CAN$127.94)
Bundled (all 6 games along with bonus OST & wallpaper DLC for each game) they're US$74.82 (CAN$99.78).
Still absolutely fucking absurd. They'll make a mint since it's Steam.
