Mandoric posted:Classic difficulty would be nice as a definitely definitive version, but there's so much other potential in modding too. Being able to see what makes everything tick in FF1-6 without statistical analysis or 6502 disassembly, taking what appears to be the first fully working implementation of FF1 ever and giving it monster stats to match the new player power curve rather than rebreaking it to fit the reinserted old power curve, the incredible possibility for randomizers and FF5r/FF6T/FF6BNW style hacks since at the very least all the data structures are prebuilt to include every gimmick from every game, even potentially wilder things like "what if THF was still bad but FF1 had ATB so they could be bad twice as often as anyone else was good" or conversely "make Cyan useful by making FF6 turn-based". you're making me excited about these remasters in a way I was not expecting

Yeah, Hope would work, too. Both he and Alisaie have the white hair, too. I might also just go full FF4 and go Cecil, Edge, Palom, and Porom. Palom's a Black Mage but I'm sure he can survive a job change.

Refia showed up in a lot of the 3DS promo material and fanart in Red Mage gear, Tellah and Fusoya had the skillset though not the look, and you could make an outside argument for Terra. Or Julius from FFA/SD1 if you wanted to stretch things, who stole the Red Mage sprite for his disguised look as a temporary party member.

Tellah and FuSoYa are Sages. An important part of Red Mage is being able to hit something with a sword once in a while.

On the other hand, Sage gets summons too so it's hard to really call them that mechanically in a game that has young Rydia.

OK yeah, definitely no monster tiles anymore. Just did the Castle of Ordeals and the two mandatory fights were hooded monsters blocking your way.

I haven't finished figuring out how the encounter zone tables are set up, but if they're precise enough to trim off the Peninsula of Power they're probably precise enough to be a 1x1 featuring exactly one encounter that chunks the step counter by 255 for reimplementation.

Benjamin from Mystic Quest is basically a Red Mage since he gets Black, White, and Wizard spells. And can wear armor and use swords.

Unrelated to the current conversation, but is FF7’s Jenova just a Lavos? Extraterrestrial being that crashes onto a planet and manipulates people into doing its bidding. The Cetra are kind of like Zeal. It’s like poetry, it rhymes.

I am not bothered by the font in any way and I guess that makes me a big weirdo. Seems perfectly legible on a big rear end 1440p monitor.  Anything is better than the Times New Roman PSP releases lol

NES FF7 demake. Faithfully NES FF, too; a randomly chosen stat does nothing, half a dozen spells are either broken or functional but useless, several areas in Midgar have enemies from near Rocket Town, Vincent is a direct upgrade over Barrett...

I think the PC version of FF7 did fix the bug from the PS1 version where MDef on armor didn't work.

A cute little feature I didn't notice before - you can select the map in the Bestiary and do a flyover of the world map and see general areas where monsters spawn, with ? for ones you haven't encountered yet.

So for the marsh cave in FF1 remaster is it always 4 piscodemons in the treasure chest now that it's a monster in a box? My dumb rear end is doing a 4 white mage party and 4 of those is a bit uhhh... rough

I have been having a lot of fun playing the FF1 remaster, and will probably pick up the collection if/when it shows up on PS4/5. I haven't even bothered with the font fix, as it doesn't look as terrible on a bigger screen as it does in screenshots, but I really do hope they patch something in so you can switch. I am hopeful to see how FF6 ends up, as this could be the definitive version of that game.

I would be surprised if they changed it, considering in every other version it's been randomly between 2-4.

FF3 observations: The Fat Chocobo and Sight spell are in the game despite being redundant. You have no inventory limit and the sight-spell merely shows you places you havent been to yet. The musical composition is staggering. You go through four airships in this game and trash two of them. I guess that's a good batting average to only lose half your rides. It's odd how you get the Aga spells before the second set of jobs. A major decision V took was giving you all the jobs in the first third since none of them are direct upgrades to another. I am so glad I dropped the 3D version 10 years ago and never picked it up again. What a waste of time.
