FF1 is still one of the best FFs. I can still remember playing it back on the NES when it was new.

Yeah its perfect for portable.. Heck I have a Razer Kishi.. I would have even bought it for mobile. But no support for controllers on iOS is a huge bummer.

I bought the first one on Android and immediately regretted it. It doesn't even support controllers.
Hopefully, these come to Switch. Otherwise, I'll play them if I ever get a Steam Deck.

Never had so much fun with ff1, loving this port! Amazing soundtrack and visuals. Diagonal walking and mini map is a game changer as well.
I was debating getting the iOS version and it just came down to square enix terrible post launch support for their mobile apps.
Cant wait to get to ff6 since I’ve never put more than a few hours into it as embarrassing as that is to admit as a ff fan lol

I was so disappointed in another topic when the lack of the expanded content was mentioned. F1&2 and FF4-FF6 GBA were my introductions to the series. What shame that the production-wise definitive versions are missing content the versions with graphical/audio deficits had.

Damn, they didn't mess around with the remasters. Sounds amazing.

Is there a way to turn the stupid mini-map off for good? It just pops back up when I leave a scene.

I'm playing a bit of FF1 and having fun. I've never been the biggest fan of FF (I prefer Dragon Quest) and I think the first three games are somewhat too weak, but I can't say I'm not enjoying it so far. The music is this version, specially, is pretty great. The QoL upgrades are also top notch.
A shame about the very weird VSync problem on PC, though. Font fix is applied very easily and works for other languages as well (despite being Brazilian and knowing English, I always like to play JRPGs in Spanish so I learn a little more of the language)

It's not out yet. Only FF1-3 have been released so far. I hear the second half of the game is in ruins though....

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Having a heck of a time getting the Warmech to spawn in the 5F of the flying fortress. Anyone else get it? Is it bugged in this version maybe? I sat there and grinded on enemies til all my characters were over level 50, took about 2 hours, still no spawn.
Wanna complete that bestiary for the achievement.
EDIT: finally got him, my guys are now level 55 lol

Look in description... you have to be in a boat in ff1
I'm really unimpressed with the 'improvements'. It seems like they reduced the contrast on the sprites and hence they actually look less detailed. From what I've seen, these games look like something that came out of rpgmaker.
Honestly, these games look like a project they handed over to new devs to get them practice at working on a game.

The new sprites have more colors than the SNES ones.

I'm actually really digging the sprite work. Of course, the only games in the collection that are out so far are the ones that were originally on the NES so it'll be interesting to see if my opinion changes when there are direct in-game comparables.
I'm also interested to see how they handle Final Fantasy 6 in this collection. These sprite layouts seem based on Final Fantasy V - square sprites for overworld, taller sprites for battles. But 6 had tall sprites everywhere. Hope they don't fuck it up.

The new ones look more like the originals did on a CRT than the originals do on a modern TV. That's the point.I'm really unimpressed with the 'improvements'.

You can quick save anywhere..as well as it let you restart from the start of any area you just entered when you die… that’s the easy mode.

Awful. They should at least include options for the original 16 bit sprites. So it looks like PSP versions where available are still the best.I'm really unimpressed with the 'improvements'.

People don't like CRT because of reduced contrast in color. They like them because it blurred the image and made pixel based games look much less blocky. There is no 'blurring of the image' in these 'pixel remasters'. They just stripped out the contrast and flattened the sprites and kept the blocky look, which is a downgrade. Square has the audacity to charge nearly 20 dollars a game for each one of these 'pixel remasters' aside from the first one?
If they wanted to give these games a 'CRT look' they would have been better served just throwing a CRT filter over the original sprites.
