Wait is this a sequel or just another stupid port of a game we already have

I have fucking had it up to here with Square Enix releasing ports of old games. We already have those games.

Making games (especially well respected & loved ones) more widely available to people is pretty much never a bad thing.

Hexatona
Final Fantasy II has a slightly better chance as it tries to make the world seem a bit more alive.

Yeah, FF2 is the one that honestly really needs an overhaul. It set out to do a lot of things and was critically held back by the hardware. It was super ahead of its time, but SE hasn't ever given it due diligence with modern sensibilities, instead just cleaning up and mimicking the shitty half-realized NES mechanics.

Brickroad made a really good blog post about this: Link

As for FF1, I don't think it needs a radical overhaul like that. If you want to see a game that uses the same setpieces and builds on them differently, try almost every other FF game and a large majority of JRPGs. It's not like nobody has touched the elements since then.

It seems perfectly fine to me to keep FF1 as a simple-ass ur example of where the series came from, since it really works fine the way it is now. Tinkering with it would only sour it, IMO (aside from standard bugfixing and shit that the new releases do).

No need to get testy.

I wasn't talking to you, you fucking babbling brook.

It's been a quiet few days for the screenshot topic! I have been without the internet (except when I've stolen it from friends) for many moons, and have been working on recolours/edits to get away from straight-up rips. Here are some of them.

Here is the FF5 cave recoloured twice (the first is its generic form, the second is the colours I use for a few specific areas):

And here's an overhaul of the earlier FF5 cliffs I was using.

I intend to add a few more minor things to the caves, but I don't want to complicate the aesthetic too much.

edit: I intend to overhaul most of the graphics now that I have a good feeling for how I intend to use them in situ. A very small number will remain unchanged, but the majority will receive a recolour+several edits at the very least.

Sorry for the page snipe!
