Except in this version, briefly, it switches styles. It’s fair to note that later FF titles embraced the concept of wildly different graphical styles - FF7 arguably has three completely distinct art styles that it flits between at will - but FF6 was not like that. From start to finish, the presentation remains the same - and the game is stronger for it.
The original Final Fantasy VI had a consistent visual style that carried throughout the game. There’s no denying that it’s beautiful - but I really wish they hadn’t done this. That’s why we have these HD-2D sequences, where iconic moments like the Opera Scene have been entirely redone in the Octopath style. It’s also intended to be a ‘definitive’ version of the original game, which means that for better or worse content added on GBA has been deleted.īut, somehow, Square Enix is less committed to these ideals for FF6 than for any of the other games. That is to say that it features a sort of amalgamation of art from all of the previous versions of the game - whatever works best - plus some new stuff, most notably redrawn sprites for the major characters.
I wish it wasn’t sort of coming true.įor the most part, the Final Fantasy VI Pixel Remaster features the same visual presentation as the rest of the Pixel Remaster series. That was finally coming true - sort of.īut this is my problem. People were thrilled: many had wanted a HD-2D remake of FF6 specifically from the very moment they first saw Octopath Traveler. Imagine the excitement, then, when early magazine scans depicted some of the Final Fantasy VI Pixel Remaster with HD-2D graphics, similar to the style of those in Octopath Traveler, Triangle Strategy, and the newly announced remake of previously Japan-only SNES cult classic Live A Live.
