>>11856626 (OP) Between the two? It's hard to deny that PSP is the complete package, even if I'm not a fan of the graphics, though. DS/3D is designed for people familiar with the 2D original, and is like tabasco mode.
why are you on a retro board if you refuse to play retro games. the same goes to every fag on here that refuses to play the NES Dragon Quests and Final Fantasys
>>11856697 Original and DS are the only ones worth playing (and, not retro, but Wii for After Years). PSP graphics are just so grotesque so one should have to endure them.
>>11856743 The Final Fantasies at least have ROM hacks. >which one? Which, indeed? GBA script ports all the way; IV doesn't have one unfortunately, and III's was made before PR was made, so it's a weirdly condensed DS script.

>>11856626 (OP) I like the psp version but I'd get the DS if given the option, I just like the ds versions of 3/4

>>11856651 I love that game (because of childhood experience with it) but I would still recommend at least a content restoration patch for it. There's no excuse for the loss of Dark Wave or whatever it's called.

>>11856743 If it's gimped and censored it's not the original, memeball. The original is in Japanese and it would be very much acceptable to play any decent translation of that one.

>>11856626 (OP) I don't know how they do the Steam version but I don't like the PSP remakes because they crop it for widescreen so you see less of the map at any given time. I'd rather play in 4:3 and see more of the world.
>>11858136 >namingway I still can't believe that self-aggrandizing midwit's fanfic script hybrid is considered the best SNES hack in current year. Wish someone was brave enough to make a modern FFIV text port so we can ignore him forever already. >>11858149 I'll try. >I agree with the amateur statement. Look at the screen shot above. How many things are wrong? LOTS.
>For one, the kerning is screwed up in words such as "Eukaryote", "Nescaliote", "Items", etc. Not to mention there's too much font >softening in general, giving the font an overly smudged effect.... further contrasted by the near lack of it on the numerical font. >Secondly, the backgrounds in the game are more blurry than the characters directly on top of them, giving a disjointed feeling. You >can't say it's depth of field because the DOF blur effect wouldn't take place only a yard from a character! Also, the shadows from the >monsters and characters are not properly perspective corrected, which means the shadows lie on an axis that isn't true to the axis of >the background. The character portrait near the "Attack" menu's face is drawn wrong insofar as angle of view is concerned. The top >half of her visage is turned ever so slightly more than her lower half, which in reality would mean her face is breaking in twain. Also >the lines on the side of her face mask should start warping as they wrap around her face. Instead, they go straight which would >indicate she's missing half of her face, due to no cheek bulge. Lastly and most disgusting of all, the internal coloring of all characters on >screen has been apparently Gaussian blurred. That means that instead of having distinct internal details, rather all the pixels within >the sprites look smeared with Vaseline. That is why their eyes seem to just fade right into their face with no distinction.
>Overall, yes, the artwork and production is major amateur hour. SQEX put their lowest paid lackeys on it and gobbled up your monies >with glee.

>>11857651 >best looking Come on now. No 3D Final Fantasy game looked as good as 2D games until somewhere around 12 or 13. The 3D remakes of FFIV are not at that level.
