the randomizer is listing only popular games.. :/
I mean as if it wasn't obvious, when he listed FF8 and Chrono Cross in the same post.
The art style of the FF DS remakes is a real downer to me. I can't interpret anything about the games seriously in that god awful childish art style. I'm hoping beyond hope that if they ever remake FFVI (in a legitimate effort and not that smartphone cash-in), they either go full 3D and make it absolutely beautiful, or keep it sprite based like the original. Chibi is not how I'm looking for the tone of a game that isn't trying to be a complete joke to be defined, and art style is about 50% of how tone is defined. Though, thankfully, in the case of FF IV, there are a million other remakes available, and for FF III, well, that game is a flaming pile of dog crap anyways, so it doesn't really matter.And who exactly dislikes Final Fantasy DS remakes?

It looks like it doesn't belong in a game that is even remotely trying to take itself seriously. Not every defining art style is automatically good and belongs in all scenarios.Looks like I said it right on cue about FFIV DS Clearly people don't know what Amano's art looks like.
Because, theoretically, in a game about killing stuff mercilessly with swords and magic, with people dying, etc., it shouldn't be childish. Childish only belongs with things that are actually supposed to be interpreted as childish.how i being childish bad
we dont complain about mario or sonic so why ff3(i love mario and sonic btw so dont get the wrong idea)
To be a 100% fair, the NES originals also looked pretty childish, although back then it was a result of technical limitations... who am I kidding, it's a result of technical limitations on the DS as well!The art style of the FF DS remakes is a real downer to me.

it just seemed abit harsh to judge a game like thatIt looks like it doesn't belong in a game that is even remotely trying to take itself seriously. Not every defining art style is automatically good and belongs in all scenarios.

I have no idea why you bring up Mario and Sonic to combat why I think FF3 is poop.
it just seemed abit harsh to judge a game like that
its like saying disgaea is childish becaue it isnt serious
Doesn't work in Wind Waker, for instance.childish art style doesn't work for all settings and tones
and without randomly triggered encountersI hope that we get a real Final Fantasy VI remake, you know, one that wasn't made in RPG Maker 2000 and ported to IOS and Android devices and doesn't suck?
and without randomly triggered encounters
some rpgs are terrible, others are not. Does that make terribleness an established tradition and something to be celebrated?some RPGs have random encounters, others do not
Challenge is not the issue. If it was, you could just implement mandatory battles. And FF games typically have leveling systems meaning that skipping the battles just makes the game harder, not easier, so your argument makes no sense. No, the issue is not challenge, its stubbornness.but the Final Fantasy games have always been with them, to take them out would take out the challenge, and people could easily go around the enemies. What's the challenge in that?
The first RPG I owned and beat was FF3 for SNES. (we call it FF6 now) I also played FF2 on SNES at a friend's house but only a little.You must not have grown up in the NES/Snes era of RPGs.
just because random encounters are taken out doesn't mean the game automatically has to become like FF13. There are a variety of RPGs without random encounters and some of them are highly celebrated including Chrono Trigger and Persona 3 and 4 and the Mana series. Not to mention that no genre outside of RPG uses random encounters and they are doing just fine. Just think how inane it would be if your TV shut off every 30 seconds when watching a movie, or if in every 20 seconds of playing Halo you got an internet screamer, a load screen, and were teleported to a different room to fight enemies while the rest of the game was on hold. It would be in dumb in any game, and its no less dumb in Final Fantasy. Its like saying cat turds are okay in a falafel sandwich but not in a gyro, or that roach eggs are OK on a club sandwich but not in a hero. It is a cultural construct at best, and people who defend it are critically blind.Unless you want FF to be more like FFXIII and suck ass, keep random encounters intact. No, just, freaking no.
