Final Fantasy I-VI: Pixel Remaster Collection (PC/Android/iOS)

[Kaisha]

What was bothering me when watching a friend play this version of FF4 was they opted to crop the view vertically and widen it for wide-screen, instead of simply widening it. I counted it at 16x14 onscreen tiles for SNES, and this version at 18x11. Also some flying enemies are lacking their shadows. Battle mode screen also feels rather empty with all the space surrounding the party & enemy locations.

8-way movement I'm indifferent on, along with some of the visual changes made (dusty effect in Antlion cave, water/ocean effects, doing actual art+animation for the ice-blockade on Mount Hobs). They fucked up the death fade-out effect on monsters though, which is something I'd expect them to be more authentic on retaining.

General overworld & location music sounded fine to me otherwise, but yeah, trumpet on the main battle theme and the new take on the boss tune needs to chill-out. I'd have taken PSP's bass heavy version over the violin.

I forgot how good the original FFIV's death fade-out was. Good point.

Yes, the overworld, town and cave themes are all fine. I actually like what they did with Kain's Theme, "Suspicion", quite a bit. They just shat the bed on the battle themes (all of them outside of Zeromus, which you only hear ONCE), which sucks because you hear them more than anything.

Oh man. I just started FF4 and the music remix *chefs kiss*

[Lucavi]

The kisses continue so long as you aren't hearing any of the battle themes.

FF4 boss theme slaps

[Lucavi]

It really doesn't. Its one of the worst renditions of the FFIV's boss theme. Hell, the Super Mario RPG version sounds better.

[Athas]

I mean, really?

[Tyrath]

I've never played Super Mario RPG so idk what to tell you.

But the remaster mix is great. Sorry you don't enjoy it.

[Melena]

Boss theme is fine, though I'm not a fan of the remix of Battle with the four fiends. Distant Worlds spoiled me on that version.

Nooo don't tell me that. I haven't looked up any of the songs because I wanna experience them during my gameplay. That was one I was looking forward to the most

[Tyrath]

But also it doesn't need to live up to Distant Worlds. It just needs to stand on it's own I suppose.

[Tyrath]

I mean, really?

Also jfc theres no comparison here. The remix is better.

I prefer the Mario RPG rendition to be honest but I 100% believe thats the nostalgia talking and me enjoying the old school sound. Sound Quality speaking, the remix wins.

You're spot on about every part of that statement lol

[Tyrath]

FF5 is out today

[Corrderio]

Yeah I doubt we'll see FF6 unless we see a miracle. Besides that any OSTs available? Curious what the battle theme/battle on the big bridge sound like.

[Eurell]

Yeah I doubt we'll see FF6 unless we see a miracle

?

Today or ever?

[Corrderio]

Sorry meant end of this year. Wasn't the goal to have FF1-6 released in 2021?
