Experiencing Final Fantasy III in 2D in an official release is definitely a treat. The only way people could have played Final Fantasy III was through the 3D remake of the game for the Nintendo DS, which has since been ported onto all sorts of consoles. The NES original was never localised, and unlike its two predecessors, the game was never remade in 2D. Like the Game Boy Advance release, only with better music!įans will be interested in the Pixel Remaster of Final Fantasy III the most as it will be the first 2D version of the game to be made available internationally. This can be clearly seen with the playable characters, with the Warriors of Light from Final Fantasy I having more expressive sprites, and Final Fantasy II’s main party of Firion, Maria, and Guy resembling their concept art even more. This also gives Final Fantasy I, II, and III a complete 16-bit overhaul to its visuals. Instead, new sprites that are more in line with the SNES era of Final Fantasy, namely games IV to VI, are being made for the three NES titles. Finally, an official 2D version of Final Fantasy III. While there are a ton of Final Fantasy I and II remakes already, the recent showcase indicates that the Pixel Remaster will eschew the current sprite work of the games’ modern remakes. The Pixel Remaster’s main highlight is the sprites, which managed to capture the essence of the original character concept art by famous concept artist Yoshitaka Amano. Firion and friends look just like their concept art now.
This collection is an updated facelift instead of the HD 2D restructuring that Dragon Quest III is getting this year. The Warriors of Light received a facelift.ĭuring the showcase, the developers spoke at length about the development of the Final Fantasy series as a whole, and gave us our first look at the graphical improvements made to the first six games of the series.Īs the name suggests, keeping the aesthetics of the original sprites is the main priority of this collection. A now-private video of a Japan-only Pixel Remaster showcase featured notable Final Fantasy alumni, including series producer Yoshinori Kitase, series creator Hironobu Sakaguchi, and series composer Nobuo Uematsu.
