If you did anything other than just emulate the original roms, you were a sucker anyway.

FF is a series where many different ports and versions are littered with changes, often making the original roms quite inferior.

Granted, most of the best versions are still emulatable but its worth noting.

That's the thing. It can be whatever ones you want.

Never really got why someone would want to play FF on mobile anyway, but then, a lot of smartphone gaming doesn't make any sense to me.

Also, side note I disagree that the backgrounds look better in the mobile version of FFVI, they look very "high school art class" to me cheap and lazy like the sprite work. PSP FFIV Art looks great, why is the UI so ugly though? Those fonts are all over the place...

This is a great way to encourage piracy.

beautiful spritework

That is very much a matter of taste. IMO the PSP style is absolute horseshit.

It just looks like a scaling filter on the pixel art to me. At least Vargas.

Yeah I agree. Looks like the Snes version with a filter.

Poor quality. I'm not even that familiar with the original art.

FFV was terrible on Steam. I am sorry but look at this:

https://www.fortressofdoors.com/content/images/2015/09/ffvgarbagezoom.jpg

That is how literally most of the background spritework was done in that "remake." It is astonishing to think that a game made by a big company by square enix would send that out as acceptable, when it wasn't like that in the original game.

FFV was my fave FF game too. Such a great game, but yeah that version was utter trash. Not to mention a lot of the artwork they added like the character portraits were just bad. Either way though, this is messed up :P

I guess I jsut wanted to point out again how much of a bad job was done in that original FFV game.

Actually yes I do agree with you. Those were quite good looking the enemy sprites and battle backgrounds. I honestly don't know about the Pixel Remaster versions, I guess they are supposed to be like the originals more visually?

Yeah you are right though that did remind me those sprites were done well in that regard.

The post didn't actually say it, but if your response to this news is to rush out and buy those games on Steam, don't fucking do that and reward these fucks.

I kind of moved away from Final Fantasy. I'm more into spiritual successor to the old school games Bravely Default.

It's not the thing that is being lost, but the principle of how they are able to destroy arbitrarily.

Cloud gaming (or movies or books) is for chumps. If you want a game, get a physical copy. They can't replace your physical copy with an alternative.
