Because good games remain good indefinitely. Sure, controls get more streamlined and learning curves get steeper, but a well crafted game is always worth experiencing.

Fuck the Space Sim genre has only been mirror polishes on games from 2004, which are in turn a refinement from a bunch of games from 1998. No reason not to experience earlier entries

why is it so ugly

I know this is bait, but what port of Final Fantasy VI is that? Jesus it's ugly

IT's the steam version

>They want $16 for this

I'm glad ff6 is in hd now :)

>backgrounds and enemy sprites are gorgeous
>characters look like this

why live.

Man, fuck that.

stop

...

holy shit, ff6 got DESTROYED with these new graphics

>Mostly positive reviews
>For a lazy mobile port
PC master stoops lower everyday

Please tell me they didn't fuck up the opening. It's one of the great classic RPG openings of all time, that Mode 7 was choice, PLEASE TELL ME THEY DIDN'T FUCK THAT PART UP

No... they would never fuck it up :)

Jesus fuck what have they done to ff6??

>16 dollars

FUCKING GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!!!???

16 DOLLARS FOR A FUCKING PHONE GAME PORT OF A 1994 GAME????

Man, you could do so much with 2d remakes of old games, but sadly this is what we get.
If we do get a full remake for FF6, what would you guys like to see? I heard that they're willing to do remakes outside of FF7.

...

FF6 is one of my favorite games. Seeing these sprites literally makes me a little sick. Oh no, it just got worse.

>Japan has tons of pixel artists for hire
>Don't hire them, upscale the graphics in Photoshop instead

The monsters actually look good.. shame about the characters

Panzer dragoon series though to bad you emulate saturn

Wow SNES graphics so shitty :)

>don't have original cart
>carts are expensive as fuck now
>have to play the PS1 port
I don't care what anyone says, CD discs are an abomination sent by satan

What I don't understand about FF5/6 iOS/Steam is they literally could have released straight ports of the games, no work needed

Instead they put actual work into mangling them like they did

But it's in HD now :)

Then you would have people complaining about straight ports instead of redoing graphics, nobody wins.

>enjoyed the GBA port
Do I have shit taste?

Or just emulate, faggot.

What if you want your friends to see you're in game and post ff6 achievements on your profile?

GBA port is fine, the music took a hit though

>nobody wins

Yeah, the games do. Don't want them to be remembered like that

Me too!

Amazing :)

Then post about it on facebook

I love how detailed the town buildings are.. it really brings the game to life :)

please stop

it hurts

Wew had not seen the world map. Why on earth did they make it 3D?

I'm glad I can finally experience ff6 how the creators intended it

what is this abomination

Isn't that FF5?

>upscale the graphics
I fucking wish

rused friend :)

The portraits are actually fine.

The "generic mobile gaming aesthetics" filter is fucking awful though.

I wonder why every mobile game strives to have these same unnatural, plastic and disposable looks.

i never actually thought of how retarded the characters would look in their normal pose if they were more detailed
it's kind of funny how less detailed graphics like in actually make the characters look better

Everything is fine except for the font, the UI and the FUCKING CHARACTER SPRITES

what about disc-rot

>retro gaming in 2016

>their normal pose
Original sprites are made with the different angle.

>trashy port of a trashy game

What's the problem?

>FF6
>Trashy Game
Apologize!!!!!!

...

I'm not even trolling man. Do you even remember the original FF6?

>neo square enix
>giving a fuck about FF games other than VII, X and XIII

Pick one

The animation for the magitek armor walking has like five frames...

youtu.be/sYpFC5eVvLg

Yes, I played it as a 13 year old and it was one of my favorite games.

I remember Sup Forums actually defending this when it came out

Only really occurs to discs without cases honestly.

Okay. Now tell me this, does it hold up to today's standards? Have you forgotten the bugs, the glitches, the exploits, the items/weapons/abilities/skills/magicite that were completely and utterly worthless?

/thread
Playing old games without giving a crap if the animations or graphics are outdated will still most likely give you a way better time than most of the games you can buy today

Played it for the first time last year, it was excellent.

Didn't come across any glitches and didn't find any exploits.

They hired the most amateur of amateurs who have no idea how pixel art worked, how to scale for different resolutions, and just dump loads of disparate art into the game without considering how they look together.

The character sprites were redrawn by the original artist but the color palette doesn't match the rest of the game. The actual tiles that make up the environment are literally the exact same tiles redrawn, but without taking account of the way the original art worked, you can easily see the seams all over the place. The UI is just a stock Android one. They added character portraits to dialogue boxes that, again, clash horribly with the other artstyles.

This is Square spending the absolute minimum amount of money to remake the game, and then putting it up on the app store for a ridiculous premium price.

It's unbelievable how the FF phone ports and the DQ phone ports-- both produced by the same company --are on totally opposite sides of the spectrum in terms of quality.

What are you talking about? Do you think ff7 is better? LOL

FF13?

Played it a month ago for the first time. It holds up better than FF7.

>You will never be able to play a premium HD ff6 port

feels fucking bad man.

>what am I talking about

Tell me, what happens when someone inflicts the blind status on you? what happens when you have high magic evade? How useful is, say, bushido when compared to just spamming ultima 4 times in a row?

VII is pretty much equally good and XIII is better, but the real question is why the fuck would you not play V if you want to play a SNES Final Fantasy since it's not only the best game on the system but the best game in the series.

Really... 6's story is so much better though

...

You never used Relm then. Did someone tell you not to use Relm because even if you don't give a fuck about Relm using her is tempting for a certain cave where you find a "treasure hunter."

>Original

V and VI deserve at least remakes in the style of IV PSP. I'd love ones styled after IV DS but that one is very divisive.

i cri evrytiem i remember this tragedy of a port, why was this allowed

Please God make it stop

Indie games are amazing :)

VI has good character moments but the story is nothing special. VII is the same.

Was it only good because I played it when I was 13?

Because modern gaming sucks.

You be the judge of that. If you enjoy it whatever the reason may be, good on you.

>FF7 got full remake
>FF6 got this
It would benefit so much from a full remake. All those things from beautiful arts could've been in full 3D and very detailed.

First post best post as usual. Pack it up OP, your shitty thread is over.

>Art will never be this good again

I got chills

Right, it's because the older ones were actually made to fit in with the other graphics and used the snes palette to the fullest.

The newer sprites were never intended to have more than the 256 colors the snes was limited to and have too much detail so they don't even look like the sprites they're supposed to be mimicking, and also look like they were shoved through a shitty filter with gradients so they clash with everything, and as points out they didn't even remake the sprites correctly.

And then they didn't even bother to remove the shitty phone ui for the pc.

...

>finally got the technology to make HD sprites
>we get rpg maker tier port instead

bump

they're multiplyin'

>you will live to see the time when RPGs die and are replaced by ARPGs or just action games because "muh menu simulator not enough button mashing"
i hate being alive

Press A to fight :)
Wow RPGs are a great genre!`

This isn't really real, is it? Come on, you did this in Paint.

You just posted one which doesn't have that problem. You can make it as hard as you want by not sticking to certain job comps and turning down the encounter rate.

HOW THE MOTHERFUCK DO YOU FUCK UP A TILED ROCK TEXTURE

DIFFERENCE CLOUDS YOU DUMB NIGGER

Everyone did their individual job and no one thought to QA the entire thing.

Still no mod that fixes the sprites and UI then? Would be nice to play the GBA additions in a format that didn't have shitty resolution and sound compression.

No it's real. I just reverse image searched

Play the sound/graphics restoration patch. It's not perfect but it's a lot better.

This is the original

I see nothing wrong with it ;^)

nah senpai this is the original

bump

stop talking about uncharted and doom you retards

Underrated post

>all these emulator screenshots

I think RA with some nice crt ffilter does the job just fine.
