Final Fantasy 6 Pixel Remaster Graphic comparison - SNES/PC 

i’m shocked if the remaster doesn’t have crt filters

What ypu are missing is the crt tv. That is why old games look better in emus with scablines. Now, for the most sinilar experience, use a light bilinear filter and a crt shader and watch the game become alive. Its amazing.

I think they actually do use more colors. Their problem is a lack of contrast between the colors, making them look flat.

@@mopspear Whatever the technical details are they look simpler as he said and it bothers me, why not make them look improved.

The characters' colors are stronger than the game's scenery and this looks very strange, they stand out in a bad way.

think they redone the character sprites in a later patch, they do look much better now imo. A lot less washed out.

I rather pay $60 for the original, than $20 for the remaster... lol. After how many remasters, I still prefer the original!

and yet so many people seem to want a remake, lol honestly while I have the original SNES version, the PSX version, AND The GBA version, the GBA version is the one I keep going back to every couple years. It's probably the most well-polished port with all the bug fixes that seemed necessary, and no major graphical or audio changes. (Yes the sound chip is different, but it's not different in a bad way)

I agree that FF6 was a masterpiece. However, while the "remastered" graphics I think are mostly garbage (with a few individual exceptions), I think the OST remaster is genuinely fantastic. Hardware limitations at the time meant that great music at the time had to rely pretty much exclusively on melody, as depth and detail were much harder to bring out. The melodic diversity in such a huge score made the original ost Uematsu's greatest achievement. It's for this reason, the combination of brilliant melody, with room for technical improvement that continue to attract reinterpretations to this day of music like that of ff6. I think the remastered OST is great, it both stays faithful to the themes of the original, but adds depth that couldn't have been had at the time. But seriously, I was actually shocked at how bad the graphics were. It's extremely novice work, the recolor of the overworld is awful, almost all of the sprites are smudged out messes, Realm's sprite being an exception. There are also tears between many tiles, sloppy rescales, it's such garbage.. These online comparisons don't really do a good job, the graphics were designed specifically for an oldschool tv, and there were specific tricks they used to make things look a certain way in the original that can't really be replicated on a modern screen. Lacking an old tv to play on, imo, the best looking way of playing ff6 is with the hq filter on zsnes. That's very much open to opinion, but I think it does a good job, certainly a better job than this remake. Plus, why make menu's that are super high rez and smooth, when the rest of the game isn't? It doesn't match, like pick up any great indie game that uses similar art styles, stardew valley for example, they make menus visually consistent with the rest of the game, obviously. It's genuinely mindblowing to me that they could have done such a great job, and obviously spent quite a lot of money on the OST, while failing so badly on the art.

Ff6 is not masterpiece,ff7 do everything much better

​@@gdassspar6nar FF7 was a great game and I respect anyone's opinion that likes it better than FF6. However, it's objectively untrue that FF7 did everything better than FF6. It was a much less consistent game in many ways. For starters, FF7 obviously had a great story, it was trying to do some fairly complex things, it was trying to be mysterious, and that's a harder thing to pull off than what FF6 was doing. However I'm not convinced it was in fact executed very well, the amount of confusion online about it could be taken as evidence that this is the case. I'm not making a claim of which games plot is "better", but simply that FF6 fully succeeded in what it was trying to portray, while FF7 did not. The rendered backgrounds looked great but while mixing that with 3d sprites was novel, it was too early to be done well, they didn't look good even at the time. Additionally they used different main character models in battle than in the rest of the game. Then there was the fact that it had loading times between screens and before every battle and was spanned across multiple CD's. Compare that with FF6 which was a snappy and contiguous experience from start to finish while having a consistent graphical style that still looks good today. FF7 also loved to waste players time with long flashy animations. Knights of the Round became a meme for this, but all the summons were very long and many people forget just how long it took for every battle to even start with the camera cinematically swinging around at the start of every battle. FF6 by comparison kept a consistent pace with everything. Lastly, FF7 certainly had a handful of great tracks, however taken as a whole I think FF6's soundtrack comes out on top by quite a bit. FF7's soundtrack is less consistent, and I think if you take off nostalgia goggles as best you can, and compare the less important tracks of each game you'll find that FF6's themes on average are compositionally much stronger. If you want a more objective measurement just search youtube for how much attention the two games soundtrack has gotten by concerts, other musicians, and just general popularity compared to that of FF7, and this is true despite FF7 getting almost five times more sales.

too bright? its cus original is blurry. waterfall calmer? original look too fast, so maybe thats why they changed this.

@@MrVoland44 i like the fast water better but ive played the pixel remasters and they are easily superior overall with numerous quality of life improvements and great redone music. I do much prefer the original combat music for 6 though.

Can't you just play ff6 already? People like you would never be happy. It good they are not oriented on your type

Yes, in the config menu at any time in the game.

Crt or crt filter or bilinear filter on SNES probably

Square is going to pour all their assets into redoing the almighty FF 7 over and over again. We are lucky if the other games are ever touched.

@@amarcellus1714 heard rumours they are remaking FF9. just rumours tho

@@Onion_Knights I heard the same. Supposedly will be more faithful to the original than going off the rails like the FF7 remake

@@amarcellus1714 thats good tbh, for me, FF7 remake deviate too much from the original. it became more like FF15, rebirth have too many side quests

It's not the resolution that's the issue, unless you're still using a CRT monitor your monitor only displays one resolution anyway. It's a question of methods of scaling. SNES games do not look as good on a modern display as they did on a tv of the time. The way pixels are projected is totally different and there were a variety of coloration tricks that were used to achieve a certain look that don't come out right. So all that said, you are left with two options: Redoing all the graphics in the game, or using a method of up-scaling. The remaster did a bit of both.... very poorly. Some of the redone sprites are atrocious, many of the scaled tiles have artifacts. And, why use smooth looking menus, fonts, and effects in a game that otherwise doesn't look that way? Visuals in any medium should at a minimum be consistent, the remaster breaks this consistency. IMO the best looking way of playing FF6 is simply using the HQ filter in an emulator. It's not perfect, but it is at least consistent.

The opera scene sealed it for me 🎉

CRT filters are shit. You have to have a serious case of nostalgia to apply them nowadays... Coming from someone from the 90s, btw.

I played the hell out of this game and the game was passed around so much. between friends the sticker is all scratched up lol That being said, I think people are really nostalgia clouded as well. I played this and it looks incredible! They did a very good job.

같은 생각입니다 영문 댓글들 봐도 원작이 낫다는 평이 많네요. 그냥 편의성 추가된 정도로 만족해야겠어요.

현대적인 세련됨이 애매해서 원작이 나은 것 같아요

아 그 가스파ㄹ...

리마스터는 마을 그래픽과 몬스터 그래픽만 원작꺼 쓰고 마을에서 잡다한 추가효과는 있지만 캐릭터는 아예 새로 그린거라 전체적으로 위화감 있고 이동시나 리액션할때 프레임도 적어서 진짜 이상함 걷기는 그나마 나은데 뛰면 ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ 주먹이 커지고 얼굴이 길어져서 이상한데 뛰는 폼보면 진짜 티나 초반에 나르세에서 뛰어갈때 뒷모습 실소가 터짐 그리고 각종 화면 효과들 이상하게 바꿈 독에 걸렸을때 이동시 눈어지럽게 만드는 도트확대 축소 없이 이상한 효과 아마도 섬광발작 일으키는 옛날에 포켓몬 폴리곤? 사태 처럼 바꾼듯 그리고 음악도 그렇게 그냥 밋밋해짐 뭔가 꼿히는게 없음

They do. They are hideous.

Lol

Hmm really🤔 the backgrounds are beautiful redone, baren falls as example

@@CP86164 some people would never be happy.

​@C P pixel remaster has better backgrounds and animations for spells and espers but everything else looks terrible compared to the snew version especially the enemy sprites

No, Nobuo Uematsu didn’t remake the music.

@@nyjay yeah he did

@@paulerlingheuser8453 NOPE. He only “supervised”, but had no hand in the actual process. Even the opera vocals was just him joking to the producer that they should add them in different languages. There are already multiple interviews and sources where you can read up on his input.

It’s not nostalgia, the characters sprites in the pr look horrible

@@yibril2254 Okay, Explain how? Because all they basically did was recolor them to look more accurate to how they're supposed to look based on the character portraits and concept art. I fail to see what's so bad about that, other than how they look different from how they used to.
