Do the pixel remasters let you use the original soundtracks? This is especially important for the nes games.

wat

Excluding FF3, why would you want a series of games that have 16-bit graphics versions to have new 16-bit graphics that are a little different?

I remember being a big fan of the FF1 remake back in the day, but the PSP games just look like generic RPG Maker stuff to me now.

I see that RPG Maker aesthetic, yeah, though they stuck to a single style, and didn't apply ugly filters like in 5 and 6's mobile ports.

The pixel remasters aren't an exact 1 to 1 conversion but I think they do a great job at getting the look and feel right, especially with FF1 and FF3 which look exactly like I imagine they would if they were SNES games. Plus the soundtracks are infinitely better than any other time they've remade them. The music in the 3D version of FF4 was dogshit.

I can understand upgrading the graphics for FF3, as it never got a 16-bit-style remaster, but the other five already had those. I just don't get why these exist. One guy earlier in this thread mentioned the idea was to get them all to look like they go together, but, uh, why? It'd be cool if they could be linked together and share characters between the games, but that doesn't seem to be a thing. It just seems like a lot of effort was put into rebuillding these games when they didn't have to, while also omitting the fun extra dungeons from the rereleases. There aren't even any new dungeons or modes or anything to take their place. Like, come on, you've got insane total conversion fan mods like Free Enterprise that turns FF4 SNES into a giant treasure hunt, and S-E couldn't even implement their own version?

Final Fantasy IV is 30 years old, dude. Pixel Remaster just being an uglier version of the SNES games, without the GBA extras, and nothing else new is just perplexing. Its been playable in emulation since 1994, yet a quarter century later, you can just buy a slightly worse version of that same game, when a decade earlier, you could get it with its sequel and some extras for around the same price. Like, lol, what?

So is the FFV pixel remaster worth it if you never played it?

GBA version is the best but the sound kinda sucks and it's hard to acquire legally, PSX's translation sucks and just as hard to acquire, they no longer sell the version with the "improved" art, and this one has the best soundtrack and they haven't fucked much with the difficulty but it doesn't have the extra megadungeon and 4 extra jobs, and they have bugs to fix and YEAH YEAH THE GODDAMN FUCKING BANE OF EVERYONE'S EXISTANCE THAT FUCKING FONT.

I think Final Fantasy Anthology is still very easily to get for around 20 bucks depending on region. I don't remember that or Chronicles ever spiking high at all. Even Origins is around 20 bucks.

I still remember entire boxes of those being found years down the road filled with new unopened copies, they're very very common when it comes to PSX games.

A damn GBA itself would be pretty hard to acquire these days. Mine gave up the ghost quite a while ago.

There's a romhack for the GBA version that replaces the sound with the SNES sounds and fixes the framerate issues. It's pretty much the definitive version IMO.

In regards to the sound, you can only do so much to get the SNES sound working but if you got it blasting from a GBA speaker then it'll sound alright
