Finally coming to Switch. Really sucks the physical version is exclusive to the Square Enix store.

It’s $25 for shipping lol.

Is there gonna be the option to buy individually? I wouldn’t mind PR3 but I’m not over the moon about the 1/2 remasters compared to the other versions.

I think it's really a testament to the general quality of the pixel remaster that the only thing people can really complain about is the font.

My guess, it was a game plan to replace the old versions first. They only hit the PC and Steam, the only ones with versions already there that they then took offline.

Maybe just inscrutible marketing calls, maybe just prioritizing, maybe those FF5 and 6 ports genuinely had a problem that warranted priority replacement.

I own a PS5, a PC, and a Switch and I aint buying those remasters cause they're not on Xbox.

Im kidding, I wouldn't buy them anyway since they lack content. Again, I mean. I wouldn't buy them again.

Very dumb to make physical editions a limited release exclusive to the site. I guess there’s no reason to double dip on Switch if I can’t get a physical.

The font isn’t the only thing wrong with the PR, they have a weird scrolling issue. It’s very evident when the camera zooms out on the world map and pans around. Not really a game breaking thing but it’s there.

In good news it’s possible that Square got the hint about the font.

Anyway cant wait to play them, especially since the ff1 remaster is truer to the source magic wise

They removed all the screenshots with the font on the SE website. Maybe they were just reusing the steam screenshots?

Seems hard to read, especially now that they're expecting it to be read from further away on a TV screen. The letters really need to be wider if nothing else.

It's just too small for the text boxes, making them feel big and empty and it's weird. I suppose arguably you could call it future proofing in case something has a really long name, but ideally the text would auto-resize in that situation anyway.

It's a remake of the games called 'pixel remaster' and they used the an ugly narrow font that doesn't fit the aesthetic of the games, look good on it's own terms or is even particularly readable. It's not the end of the world but it was a conpletely unforced error that would be trivial to fix

I stopped playing after the tutorial in Monster Hunter Freedom Unite because the font was nearly unreadable. Not only is it stupidly thin, but you could fit an entire letter between e v e r y c h a r a c t e r



It's much more readable in HD on PPSSPP than the original resolution though. This doesn't show how bad it was on real hardware.

I keep waiting for them to fix the airship graphics in 4 and 6. The Falcon's horizontal and vertical sprites in 4 are out of whack after you get the drill, and the airships in 6 don't drop from the sky, they roll in from the horizon.
