Thread 718984601

Are these any good if I only ever played the original PS1 version of FFV?

I heard 3 and 4 were decent and got totally new scripts?

Never played VI but heard it's "the coolest" of the ps1 originals?

>>718984601 (OP)
Just play the originals in Japanese.

>>718984601 (OP)
There's a bunch of hipsters who pretend they're bad, but with the exception of possibly FF6, these are the best way to play these.

FF6 is debateable and it's a toss-up between original SNES or Pixel Remaster (it used to be SNES topped it until the patch that fixed the magitek intro and the music issue during the last fight)

>>718984645
>Japanese

>missing "spoony" bard

Midnight bump

>>718984673
They completely knee cap any sense of difficulty these games had, with the exception of FF4, which was babified for Americans.
Soundtrack, art direction, etc are amazing, but if you want to actually be challenged and have meaningful choices in combat, these kinda suck.

>>718985980
Previously sure, but you can alter the rate of various mechanics to match or be harder. Was added later.

>>718985980
nta but didn't they change the background as well making them all seem semi identical?

>>718986912
They have different backgrounds

>>718984601 (OP)
VI is censored and there are probably other issues knowing modern SE. Just emulate the originals with some of the more accurate translations. Hell, they even have some bugfix patches you can apply too, cause lord knows how broken a lot of the early FFs are.

>>718989051
6 is a weird case because the only non-censored version is the OG japanese version on super famicom.
The original 3(6) SNES version had more covered up summons.

And every version past SNES/Super Famicom had Celes getting punched while prisoner censored because Japanese ratings system changes in between original release and the GBA (and after) releases, where it would increase the age rating of the game (reducing sales), so it was easier to just change the scene to maintain the age rating.

So Pixel Remaster 6 is the same as every version after the original SNES/Super Famicom release in that regard.

>>718989206
Not just that, but PR changed the Imperial salute to the victory pose.

>>718989624
No, that changed back in the GBA version, and every version after it. Did not start in Pixel Remaster.

unironically, the PR version of FF2 is the best way to play it, because you can boost your stat growth, and turn off encounters, essentially turning the monster closets from "Fuck you, you picked the wrong door" to a mild inconvenience.

the 2.5d remasters REALLY fucking suck. great way of taking all the soul out of pixelated sprites

>>718984601 (OP)
How did you even tolerate the loading screens for the PS version? Also the originals were SNES.

>>718989624
A little too nazi like, and given the rise of authoritarianism in the west by conservatives in recent years , SE didn't want to touch that rail.

>>718989680
Wrong, they only did the change in PR, GBA still had the fist pump.

>>718989680
Nope, Emperor still does his salute, as do the soldiers in the GBA game.

>>718989901
>A little too nazi like, and given the rise of authoritarianism in the west by conservatives in recent years , SE didn't want to touch that rail.
lol
lmao even

>>718990224
And what year was that photo taken if you're going play this intellectually dishonest game?

>>718990282
the only reason the roman salute is considered bad is because midwit boomers saw nazi characters do it in movies and the like. nowadays it's considered taboo because culture is malleable

>The introduction of the Nazi salute resulted in controversy over the use of the Bellamy salute in the United States, especially after the declaration of war against Italy and Germany in response to the 1941 Pearl Harbor attack. The Bellamy salute was replaced with saluting the flag by placing the right hand over the heart when Congress amended the Flag Code on December 22, 1942.
Turns out the nazi salute is bad, because of the nazis. c
BTW you didn't answer the question, what year was the photo you posted taken?

>>718990515
stop nazibreathing bigot

>>718990515
Nazis also wore clothing and ate food.

>>718990515
sometime in the 1930s

>>718990642
>>718990690
Not an argument.

>>718990747
Actually 1941, before the attack on Pearl Harbor which drew America into WWII.
And the salute fell out of favor because of that.

>>718984601 (OP)
Yeah. Just mod them to your liking and they quickly become the definitive way to play these games.

>>718990417
Just mod in the sprites you want. A fully native PC release means you are in control of the experience you have.

>>718990515
>>718990834
>It was also known as the "flag salute" during the period when it was used, from 1892 to 1942, with the Pledge of Allegiance. Bellamy promoted the salute, and it came to be associated with his name.
Fifty years.

>Intentionally ignoring why it fell out of favor.

>>718984601 (OP)
they're all shit. play the revised snes roms and translated nes romhack for 3, duckstation final fantasy anthology for ffv and tbat's it

>we have to change sprites in a 30 year old video game because jews might be a little uncomfortable

Amazing, what a world we live in.

>>718984601 (OP)
The pixel remasters are the objectively the best versions of old FF aside from FF4, where I give the PSP version the edge since it has the GBA extras (the only meanful extras that got cut in the pixel remasters) and it comes with a (shitty) sequel.
FF6 has a ton of romhacks and bug fix patches that not even the pixel remaster has but I'm going to compare vanilla to vanilla versions here.
I think FF1 on the NES is worth the experience just because it's a perfect example of a game constructed together with sticks and glue.

>>718991281
You don't understand the impact because you only associate it with le nazis but this would be like dropping our o7 salute because the Chinese decide to pick it up. Americans had this before the Germans bro.

>>718991648
And? Doesn't change the fact for why it fell out of favor. Get Project 2025 to lobby for it to be used in schools again if you're that desperate.

>>718991942
So? The congress has done lots of stupid shit. That doesn't mean you can't criticize it.
>Bring it back
That would be just as bad. I don't want the government to play culture janny. I don't care if said government is based or not.

>>718984601 (OP)
They're fine versions of all the games, arguably the best version of II, objectively the best version of III.

>>718992536
Not my problem.

>>718991156

>>718985980

You're blind as fuck, all the SNES games look terrible in PR compared to the originals.

>>718992646
>Amano accurate in the style of the SNES sprites
Yes I am living deliciously. Thank you for noticing.

Pixel Remastered is perfectly fine

>>718984601 (OP)
No but some of the music is ok.

>>718992865
Amano's character designs are all samey and boring unless he's drawing a knight in armour

>>718984601 (OP)
I just played through the pixel version of 1 and started 2. I'd say if you want to play the famicom games, the pixel remasters are the best way. They were made when you owned a dozen games for your NES and not 300 on Steam, so play the remasters unless you don't value your time. The SNES games hold up well enough that the remasters are unnecessary and you should just emulate. That said the original translation for IV is an abomination, so if theres not a translation patch, then maybe the remaster is fine

>>718991156
>Just mod in the sprites
you can so that on a snes emulator too.
the PC shit has mixels.

>>718993287
Terra looks great with her actual hair color. Sorry I am not greentistic.

>>718991506
>I give the PSP version the edge since it has the GBA extras
PSP versions still look the best though.

>>718992865
Tifa and Bartz are also blonde in Amano's artwork, do you mod them blonde too?

>>718993914
Count the media where Terra is green haired. Square made Blonde Terra canon. Cry more, greentistic weirdo.

>>718994003
So is that a no?

>>718994003
If that's the case why did none of the FFVI re-releases ever change her hair? Why do you need to mod it?

>>718994104
Because preservation does matter. And her hair was green for reasons valid at the time. Usually bit count related hash limitations. The beauty of it being on PC is I can bring her in line with later canon media representation when I feel like it, and you don't have to. I am sorry your autism compels you to try and get me to fall in line, but I will not be.

>>718994048
Retard-kun. I just explained to you why your comparison was stupid. Go on now.

>>718995319
So no. You don't.

>>718996148
I'm sure this gotcha goes hard if you're mentally handicapped.
