Famitsu publishes two screenshots of FF6 Pixel Remaster, including the opera house, which seemingly got a massive graphical overhaul

Screenshots from Famitsu

For comparison, here's the original Opera House:

fuckign wild. I wonder how much of the game got that treatment. I can't imagine it's much. We already got a screenshot of Biggs and Wedge near Narshe, and it was the same perspective. Here, for the Opera House, it's straight-up Octopath Traveler.

 

[EntelechyFuff]

The Narshe walk screenshot is blowing my mind. It's "exactly" the same, but also phenomenally better looking.

The pixel remaster team is killing it.

oh my god

 

[Dest]

This shit looks great.

 

[Azubah]

That opera scene almost looks like an octopath screenshot.

 

[PlanetSmasher]

Not sure VI needed the 2.5D perspective, especially because the opera house scene literally grades you on how well you hit your marks and depth is always kind of finicky in 2.5D but ok.

 

[NattyBo]

I cannot overemphasize how much I need this to come out for Christmas vacation.

we almost hd-2d peeps

 

[Stowaway Silfer]

Are they doing the Octopath HD2D thing?

Yeah it really does.

I would love the HD 2D for FF6 like that fan made screenshot depicted a few years ago. I know thats not a popular opinion but I'm a huge fan of that style.

 

[Yuntu]

That looks Octopath styled but very true to the OG. Great shit.

 

[signal]

I actually dislike the look of these. The first is okay but the Octopathish or 'voxely' or whatever look of the Opera House isn't that nice imo.

 

[Calamari41]

This is almost to the level of an HD-2D or whatever remake. Hard to be sure with the potato cam but it looks great. My interest went from 0 to 10.

 

[Plinkerton]

Yeah definitely feels closer to OT than the original. Can't wait for these to come to Switch.

 

[ILikeFeet]

they're going Octopath style with this?

 

[ghostcrew]

Holy crap, they Octopath'ed it. Looks amazing!

 

[Hogger]

Whoa... are they using the Octopath engine???

 

[Super Barrier]

Yes!!! Looks amazing.

 

[xir]

Tilt shifty

 

[wwm0nkey]

Need!

 

[Ganyc]

in my veins. NOW

 

[Desma]

holy moly, wasn't expecting that

Agreed. I don't know why people are so attracted to crunchy, voxel-heavy 3D environments. They don't actually look that much better, especially when you have a straight-up SNES sprite standing in the middle of one.

 

[Ovvv]

This is fucking phenomenal

 

[Deleted member 56266]

I need it

 

[MatrixMan.exe]

Whoa... are they using the Octopath engine???

Octopath uses Unreal Engine 4 rather than a proprietary engine so I doubt it, but that sure would be something. Looks really good either way.

 

[Richardbro]

HOLY SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHIT! This might be my most hyped game ever. Please Squeenix I need a date now please.

 

[--R]

In my veins.

 

[Nakenorm]

Whoa. Can't wait. That's certainly more upgraded than I expected

 

[Phendrift]

I wonder if the opera song will have the actual lyrics in it now lol

 

[Mashing]

Love it.

 

[ciddative]

That's not what pixel remaster means. Stop 'improving' stuff please

 

[Calamari41]

I haven't been following these. Do we know if they're going to fix the many significant bugs in the game? Or have they just been retouching the graphics?

 

[Mary Celeste]

it's beautiful

 

[disparate]

christ that looks amazing wtf

 

[CielTynave]

God damn that's like a 1000% percent improvement.

 

[PlanetSmasher]

Virtually every release post-PS1 has fixed things like the M-Evade bug, etc.

I imagine they'll keep certain things like Vanish/X-Zone in, but most of the bugs have been ironed out by now in virtually every port VI got after the original PS1 port.

 

[Burt]

They're doing it

$69.99

 

[BasilZero]

Holy smokes give it to me!!!!

 

[Deleted member 1102]

Did they actually remake this?

 

[Zomba13]

That opera shot. No. Don't give me hope. Why would it have a 2.5D angle? Why would it look almost 2DHD? We've seen other stuff from it right? Like, it's still the same as the others. They wouldn't make 6 2DHD. Why just for that bit

 

[disparate]

They're not doing HD-2D AFAIK, they also probably don't need to for the opera shot.

 

[AuthenticM]

Agreed. I don't know why people are so attracted to crunchy, voxel-heavy 3D environments. They don't actually look that much better, especially when you have a straight-up SNES sprite standing in the middle of one.

They do and you are wrong lol

 

[PlanetSmasher]

I prefer a consistent, cohesive art style over 'look there are polygons therefore it is better'.

 

[Kalor]

The Narshe walk looks great, not sure if I like seeing so much of the castle in the opera. The smaller focus in the original might suit the scene better.

 

[Synohan]

Is this probably the octopath engine? Both shots definitely look straight out of it.

 

[Emerald]

That opera house background reminds me of some kind of promotional material you'd see in a magazine for an N64 game lol.

That's great, thank you for the info. I haven't played it anywhere other than SNES and the SNES Mini, so I had no clue they've already ironed it out.

 

[Hippopuncher12]

Looks amazing, and it's my favorite game ever, but I have to hold strong on a console release of these games.
