I did end up liking the look of the Pixel Remaster, but one of my biggest problems with it is the lack of weather effects from the psp version. With Bafsk (5:50) they really dropped the ball. The sunset effect in the PSP version was really nice, and the PR version not only does not have that, but it also doesn't have the orangish pallet that even the PS1 version had.
PSP version was a perfect blend of the original feel while improving the look of the game. For the next time ill go with the PR next time I want to revist the game.

Its funny because while its cleaner and bigger and better sprites; to me it kinda looks like an RPG Maker game of modern times too much. Where as PS1 version manages to avoid it somehow (tho i played rpg maker 2k to VX/MV, whatever new one is) and NES is old school. I love em all really, but my favourite is PS1 version (:
Along with FF1, FF2 is my favorite in the series. I was impressed by the amount of hate that this game has. This is for you guys!: -The game isnt broken, at least the GBA and PSP remakes. All the spells works, hitting your characters isnt neccesary, just optional, and is much better than newer games where this is just useless and level up is very quick if you fight with high rank monsters. -Contrary to what some people said, the game explains you the mechanics, at least in these two remakes, in a room on the rebel base. -The game never makes you grind a lot, in fact, i found it one of the less grinding games in the franchise along with FF1. -Even if all of these was true, the game was released in 1988 in a console that was a potato. And in terms of character level up, is one of the most realistic RPGs i ever seen. -I can understand why some people think the dungeons are somewhat annoying, although the combats itself arent really too hard, and is very funny when the fanbase praise FF5, 6, 7, 8 when this games have like 10 times more grinding and 10 times more annoying encounter rate! Welcome to the hypocrites club! I will show you the way.
I appreciate they wanted to stay faithful to the original final boss sprite, but it looks so damn goofy now. The NES/FC version had most of his body fade into the black background... but without it, the Emperor now looks like some strange creature that's only an upper body, one arm and small cape. I'd say it's easily the worst of the four, and one of the few times where staying faithful to the original was pretty much a detriment.
I kind of like the PS1 version the best, the art style is consistent, and it has a darker tone. The PC version is not bad, but they need to fix the ugly font and update it with the bonus content from the previous versions.
Pixel Remaster looks good no doubt and I'm happy about it (except not being released on more platforms); HOWEVER, the PSP still looks the best no argue there.
PC >= PSP >> PS1 >> NES PC versions excels in "quality of life" improvements, while the PSP excels in game artwork. PS1 is not so great at higher resolutions like the PC version.
I think the PSP version looks and sounds the best, only downside is that the screen is too much zoomed in so you can't see a lot of the map, which can be a pain in those labyrinth-like dungeons. I think this is the version for those looking simply for the best visuals. The pixel remaster basically took the original NES graphics and added more colors to them. It's ok and does the job but I don't like the fact that they used the same text font they've been using in the modern FF games, they just don't fit well with the retro graphics. I think the best thing about it are the quality of life features and the game seems a bit easier. This might be the version for those seeking a better gameplay experience in general.
The graphics style in the PSP version is nice, but you're missing out on the "quality of life" improvements in the pixel remaster version that makes this game more fun to play. I believe they were going in different directions. PSP version was more about replacing the original graphics with new art. While the pixel remaster retains the original graphics but enhances or remasters them.
@@brannanbenjamin I would not be able to recall everything, but there is 1.5x speed Auto-Battle which automatically inputs the previous commands including multi-targeting, there is ability to equip in shops, there are detailed maps of each area with chest and item tallies, there are quick saves, there are auto-saves with each new room you enter, you can move diagonally, you have the additional ability to dash for some games that didn't have it originally, and likely other things like re-balancing of leveling up, ability points, and gaining gil. You also get achievements.
Yes, but it also has stat penalty and the magic level up formula is from the GBA version instead of the PSP version. For me those things makes more difference.
Was gonna say PSP version was my favorite but they made the graphics look too cartoony. Weird that I favor the NES and Pixel Remaster versions over anything else.
how come...i still feel psp still da best 1....especially final boss...= = pR...a bit joke..............donno wan to buy or not...haiz...if they direct make hd2d....sure 100% sales up than now x 10
For me, it's PS1>PC>NES>PSP, I don't at all care for the character art of the PSP version. I think the PS1 version looks excellent, and the pixel remaster is fine too.
Gigantic bug eyes on PSP. Yeah no thanks. Honestly i just wish they used Adult sprites of upgraded classes from FF1 NES/Famicom. Looked the best. FF characters have always looked like toddlers from FF2-FF6 for some reason after that
PSP looks like a cheap, chibi style mobile game. Not as bad as the PSP version of FF1, but still not as good as PS1. For the first two FF games, PS1 is king
I honestly am finding I prefer the PR looks of 1-3 more than the previous versions and I have played all of the ones in this video. There's a simplistic charm to the NES sprites that is missing from the sprite work of the post-Origins release - the body proportions are also off even for the SNES-like look they picked. The PSP version loses the look entirely for these big bulky chibis that look like they walked out of Gaia Online where you can *really* see the lack of expressions on them. PR strikes a better balance between updating the NES sprites to a full color palette while respecting the original game's aesthetic. Honestly, I don't even mind losing the bonus dungeons. If I ever want them back, I still have my PSP and GBA versions. If the goal was to just update the NES version without feeling the need to cram in extra dungeons to justify the asking price, the goal was met. I will say, I realize the color choices of the NES version are a limitation of the platform, but the first battle at 0:32 actually looks a lot more frightening with the ghostly blue color of the enemy soldiers on a black background. Having a brightly colored forest as in every single one of the remade versions actually seems to limit the terror of the main characters being cut down trying to escape the destruction of everything they've ever known and loved.
@@Rebochan What im referring is that the graphics were in reality much better than a lot of mobile games.

The pixel remaster give more respect to Yoshitaka Amano original painting.They really go the purist way with these one and it shows.
for Pixel art of original FF you should thank Shibuya Kazuko. Amano made beautiful arts, but Kazuko transform them to pixels!!!

Now if they actually do that, they'll get my money.

Enjoying all the PR games so far.
Those faces in the fire at 0:31 look especially creepy. Love it.

Unlike in the previous versions, Esuna can’t cure Venom until level 2 in the Pixel Remaster version.

ty for this comparison
PSP is still the reigning King
8:12 Borghen kills Josef in his death throes.
Graphic : PSP win
Music : pixel remaster win
The original and WSC versions didn’t use kanji.
PSP version all the way for me
Borghen laugh has been removed in Pixel Remaster.
If you don’t like ff2 the gba and psp remakes me it really nice. I had a good time with the psp version
psp is the best, ps1 was too difficult and clunky but you could cheat and lv up skills fast.
Was gonna say PSP version was my favorite but they made the graphics look too cartoony. Weird that I favor the NES and Pixel Remaster versions over anything else.
FF3はFC・3D・PRの3点比較でいいとして（メッセージを日本語同士で比べてみたいけれど……）、今後FF4-6を取り扱うならば、特にFF4が移植ごとにグラフィックの修正を施されている点が難しそう。
One problem with Pixel Remaster is the GBA-ish palettes.
Anyone relize that in ps1 first fight they did 666 damage to the fourth one
Soy yo o la mejor versión gráfica fue la de psp?; Y en segundo lugar la pixel remaster
Love PS1 version
This game is not as popular as the rest of the games in the Pixel Remaster series.
Dang they really skipped the tower in the remake instead made big cyclone...psp is best version now I wish I got a psp back then
PSP version is best!
The Pixel Remaster version suffers from a quality of life downgrade when it comes to training in fisticuffs.
