RedDevil757 Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Holy hell's batman! Whoever created the crt filter for this game should be jailed. It might possibly be the worst I've seen. CRT TVs did not produce a picture like that! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tranquility101 Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 I played Final Fantasy NES back in 1987~ or so and will admit I don't remember it being as fuzzy as the Pixel Remaster CRT Filter currently makes it look. Either way, the other features they added are great for those of us short on game time -- auto-battle, multiplied EXP/GIL, chest tracker, battle avoider -- extremely welcome additions to the franchise after 30+ years of turn-based RPGs! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elk_mistral Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 they want to create it with pixel perfect.. so the graphic are exactly what they was looking for. They will never add filter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtaraxicDream Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 A clearer image is a better image ? It's sad that they removed changing your menu colors and themes with the remaster. That's something I miss. Also the weird cursor sounds are far from originals. At least we got these on console so I guess ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you own a PS3, the PS1 versions of all these are still available on the PSN store. For anyone interested in getting a more original feel of course. Edit: my bad I forgot 3 didn't get that treatment. Not till the DS Edited April 22, 2023 by AtaraxicDream Update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AquaNSky Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 It would of been cool if they had all the versions as graphical options: NES, PS1/GBA, PSP, & Pixel Remaster. PSP version has some amazing sprites. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not a huge deal, but it’s odd. FF just didn’t look like this when I played as a kid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FF just didn’t look like this when I played as a kid. When I played it as a kid, it looked like hot garbage but it was exciting as hell back then. This was on the NES though. It was also far more difficult due to the following reasons; I was a very young child I had very limited JRPG experience There was hardly any balancing No internet, so no 5,000 topics of "best team". Intelligence did absolutely fuck all, so spells never became more powerful. They also didn't become weaker, so a Red Mage did the same as White/Black. Pretty sure half the armors/weapons were broken as well. Sure felt like it. I much prefer these new ones, though the memories are very fond.

Pots3k Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 It is odd that the scanlines effect is superimposed on the art, but it does ultimately achieve the desired effect that the original CRT's did, imo. I think it looks great in Classic. In particular the "shimmering" effect in water really stood out to me. The menu screens do look off though.

I've been using the filter now for every game and I think its great. It is far preferable to no filter. Literally the only difference is that the filter is superimposed on the art, rather than a screen overlay. It achieves the desired effect. It looks awful without it.

Well they're not claiming that it is a CRT filter. The purpose of it is to emulate the colour bleeding effect and smooth out the pixel art and it achieves that.

Biertje373 Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 I gave the filter a try today, turned it off a minute later, it didn't like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burritoprime Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 It's certainly not the best but not the worst, the games look far worse without it imo, they just went too hard with the scanlines and blurriness, kinda of a lazy job on their part since most ports of classic games have a variety of filters to choose from.

AJ Maciejewski Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 I agree - it doesn't look great. With that being said, even though I'm an old-school gamer who's been gaming since the late '80s, I always play with filters off. Don't know why but I much prefer the crisp pixely look to scanlines and CRT filters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
