PIXEL REMASTER IS NOSTALGIA AT ITS BEST
I can’t lie; it’s been a minute since I played the original Final Fantasy games. However, turning on my Nintendo Switch, loading Final Fantasy I, and hearing the music was a nostalgia quake.
The remasters were previously available on PC and mobile, but this is their first time coming to consoles in their remastered glory. The PC and mobile versions were released in 2022, and more changes have been implemented since.
I played each game while switching between the two options. As I said in my review of Theatrhythm Final Bar Line, the music from Final Fantasy is some of the best-known and most beloved music in all of video games.
Other new options include the ability to turn off random encounters, making exploring a lot easier. Of course, the downside to this is not leveling up, so it may be best reserved for backtracking.
That is an extremely brief overview of each game. While the first three installments are relatively simple in plot, the games get more and more narrative-heavy as they progress.
UPDATING THE CLASSICS
The biggest changes have come in balancing the gameplay and improving the overall look of the games. Adding the boosts is an excellent way for new players to experience the games and makes the playtime a lot less grindy
