Re: Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Collection Launches On Switch Spring 2023

@gaga64 I would definitely recommend these pixel remasters even if you already own them in various ways. All the music has been orchestrated, which even as a chip tune purist myself, it really really sounds good and fits. QOL stuff has been added like minimaps, diagonal movement, better battle menus, etc. The graphics are true to the originals, and yet they've really jazzed them up with better animations and particle effects. Plus, they've really stepped it up with certain "cinema scenes." Like the Leviathan attacking the ship part in IV has so much more epicness to it, and they legit added actual singing to the opera scene in VI.

Not to mention you can now get all six in one collection (if ever available), instead of buying them separately.

@Yosher I'd say they're much better in every regard. Improved visuals that add so much without detracting from game's original style, overworld maps, beastiarys and diagonal movement!!!!!!

Plus, many of the "cinema" scenes are greatly improved and given a much more epic approach. For example, the leviathan attack on FFIV is way more intense and menacing. The size of leviathan, the whirlpool and storm effects are big and bad compared to the original. But it doesn't look out of place for the game's style though.

Oh, and all the music is orchestrated. Purists might prefer the original midis, but the orchestra music is top notch.
