ChrisHOST
It's melted into my brain.
ChrisHOST
It's like those artifacts that are burnt into televisions after too long.
ChrisHOST
So, a Final Fantasy board game, strategic RPG for up to four players, again, based on pixel remastered editions of Final Fantasy 1, 2, and 3.
ChrisHOST
One to four players, 90 to 180 minutes, 12 plus, uh, So it's weird that it's 12 plus.
ChrisHOST
I guess I know that typically, Tim, as a designer and as a person who's published a game, typically that's because like kids put things in their mouth, right? That's really the reason because I don't think that necessarily kids could not play.
FrostHOST
I assume
BillHOST
it was your second playthrough of the Pixel Remaster.
FrostHOST
Yeah, so the Pixel Remaster, I had to do a little bit of grinding on the moon, but it wasn't too much.
FrostHOST
I
BillHOST
think I wrote down...
Sam WagersHOST
I made it a little ways into that.
Sam WagersHOST
But I actually specifically, because the Pixel Remasters as a package were a little bit pricey.
Sam WagersHOST
I thought, but I settled for just getting five because that's the Super Nintendo one I hadn't played.
John CumminsHOST
Yeah.
6 MINS LATER
John CumminsHOST
So, uh, like I said, I'm play, I played them back to back to back, you know, I went and played one, two and three already this year.
John CumminsHOST
And then I started four and I'm like, man, four doesn't really look now that I'm going back for, doesn't look like a drastic upgrade over three, uh, pixel wise.
Shannon EnoHOST
I mean, to be fair, those pixel remasters are remastering a little bit.
Shannon EnoHOST
So they probably help.
Bob MackeyHOST
And back then, this Famicom classic was playable in English for the very first time, thanks to a DS remake.
Bob MackeyHOST
And 20 years later, we now have a pixel remaster to play as well.
Bob MackeyHOST
And, yes, listen in, please.
Bob MackeyHOST
We're going to explore this Final Fantasy game that kicked off the job system, which would evolve over time.
Jeremy ParishHOST
And so I was very happy when it came to DS.
Jeremy ParishHOST
And I played it and enjoyed it.
Jeremy ParishHOST
And I have not actually tried the pixel remaster yet because that's one of those, like...
Jeremy ParishHOST
It's, you know, it's six games.
Victor HunterHOST
Um, and, Yeah, it's a bummer.
Victor HunterHOST
And I wish, look, I think Pixel Remaster, the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters were some of the worst offenders because they just stretched everything but didn't change the size of anything.
Victor HunterHOST
So you've got these battle screens that are just these vast, empty...
Victor HunterHOST
They're very long.
Daniel WinterHOST
At least in the version I was playing.
Daniel WinterHOST
I guess I should clarify, I was playing the Pixel Remaster.
Daniel WinterHOST
It came out a few years ago.
Daniel WinterHOST
So some of these things may have changed.
Mark YuasaHOST
... sort of set up combos with you use this character to soften up these other characters, and then another one to bring in the final blow.
Mark YuasaHOST
You couldn't necessarily do that if you don't know what order that they're gonna execute in.
Mark YuasaHOST
And, uh, you're right, I was playing the Pixel Remaster as well just recently to kind of familiarize myself with what they had done to that game, and it was interesting to see that that remaster felt very much unchanged.
Mark YuasaHOST
I'm sure there were a lot of subtle changes that were happening in the back end and-
MicahHOST
We're not gonna get into the, the numbering.
MicahHOST
Um, but we looked at the, uh, Pixel Remasters that came out I think last year-
AlyssaHOST
Mm-hmm
MicahHOST
... or year before last, and it's part of that.
EmilyHOST
Like, it still holds up today.
EmilyHOST
Like, I recently played the Pixel Remaster version of it, and-
BrandenHOST
Mm-hmm
EmilyHOST
... really enjoyed it.
AbdallahHOST
Yeah, and the beauty of it is, like, w- like, I feel like the newest generation has been trained recently on enjoying more indie, like, retro inspired type games.
EmilyHOST
Yes.
AbdallahHOST
So going back and playing, like, even the Pixel Remaster like you did is not a hard ask, uh-
EmilyHOST
Mm-hmm
MonicaHOST
And why did you decide to do it?
CrystalHOST
Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster because there weren't that many chests to get.
CrystalHOST
I was like, okay, I might as well get all these chests.
CrystalHOST
That's reasonable.
MikeHOST
I've played re-releases, and remakes, and reimaginings.
MikeHOST
Um, so, uh, and, and then a couple of years ago, with the release of the Pixel Remaster on modern consoles, where they took, you know, the first six games and, uh, kind of, uh, up-resed them, gave them some quality of life.
MikeHOST
Uh, in some cases, in Final Fantasy VI's case, you know, they made one very important scene in that awesome Square Enix HD-2D, um, art style that they've perfected.
MikeHOST
Uh, you know, so be- be- you know, because of that, I went through and played every Final Fantasy from I to XVI at that point, uh, with the exception of XI and XIV, uh, which are MMOs, uh, that I won't be covering.
10 MINS LATER
MikeHOST
So I get the, I get the philosophy of it, right? You know, i- in- Quote-unquote, "real life." If you were to train a certain muscle or if you were to, like, do something over and over again, you would get better at that, or you would get more proficient or stronger at it.
MikeHOST
Um, but it just doesn't really work as a gameplay, as the primary gameplay mechanic, in my opinion.
MikeHOST
I found myself really frustrated with it when I was playing with it, and that's with the Pixel Remaster, uh, quality-of-life changes that they added, right, where you could go in, and then you can just kind of make yourself super powerful, or you can speed up the...
MikeHOST
You, you, you just, you can just make the game, like, four times faster just to, you know, keep up with the grinding.
