Oh yeah, that's true. The colored borders around character names do stick out a lot. Like Neoweee said, it does help to quickly identify who's talking, but they definitely could have done it better.
I haven't played the mobile versions, but I was under the impression they have different UI from the Steam version that's optimized for mobile?
But it looks cheaply done. I kind of miss the character portraits from earlier ports and remakes.
Here's an example of it being done better:
Now that I would be on board with. I've always been fond of character portraits in the textbox. Probably because a lot of GBA games did it and Game Boy was where I played a lot of my first JRPGs. But also because they can accomplish the same tasks as larger character portraits do but without covering up the whole scene.I wish they'd done it like this:
I really like this Pixel Remaster version of FF4 a lot. I tried to play the 3D version on DS back in the day, but I found it really slow and boring at the time.
What does 'looks like it could have been done in MS Paint' even mean? Literally all the sprite work in the game looks like it could have been done in ms paint 😂
I was responding to/calling silly, the patching of the respawn mob farming, I have no issue with the join levels, just mentioned it as power leveling Cecil is how I always approach Mt. ordeals otw out at least, I save most of my exp grind for the Cave of Summons but only after I've obtained a good screen clear for Rydia to spam/one shot encounters.

Yeah but none of this explains the issue with it. "It looks cheap" "looks like it was made by someone who isn't very good at this stuff" "looks like it was made in MS Paint". It doesn't mean anything. What's actually wrong with it? Is it just that you don't like it or is there something objectively wrong with it?

You're right that it was changed.
My only slight quibble is the final bosses look small and less imposing for FF1, 2 and 4.Anyhow, I think this is the best looking version of FF4 by a lot.

Feels like the animations and overall turn flow, even at the default speed, are a ton smoother. Bahamut takes 3x as long on the PSP version.
I suppose a counter to that criticism is that you don't actually have to play in widescreen. I played a bit on my Surface which is 4:3 and that changes things significantly.
Yeah it's not any chests. I have 11/11 chests, but 0/2 items on the map. Checked all the bookshelves, talked to everyone. Not sure what's up.
Yeah, it's the snes ui mod.
Make sure to kill the General in Kaipo and the Captain in Fabul first or they'll flee. Tower of Zot, Tower of Babil and Giant of Babil are one time only dungeons so make sure you have all bestiary entries and chests before finishing them. Calcabrina and Barnabas-Z are bosses that have missable bestiary entries. Get Sylph before going to the moon. I think that might be it with regards to achievements.
Ooh, that UI looks nice. Might give it a try later.The UI on the whole really does feel at odds with the rest of the game, both because of a lack of consistency with resolution, but also just parts of it that look incongruent within itself. Like the character name boxes for example. No issue in principle, but they all use colors that aren't seen anywhere else in the UI, have borders that don't look like anything anywhere else in the UI, and use line thicknesses and curvatures not seen anywhere else in the UI. That's the big problem with it.
I'd recommend checking out the graphical overhaul mod. It makes the UI look coherent -- especially the ATB bars and the like. I think it works quite well with the DS/GBA font, like something you'd see on a beefed up GBA, though I think this depends on how near you are to your screen as I can see it losing some readability further out.
I forget is that lower or upper level?
Oh I hope that's true. Just going through the Giant right now...I'll check in a bit.
It feels a bit inconsistent at first, but it sure beats the dense repetitiveness of how it was before where it was their name separated by a colon in the dialog. So you'd be reading their name over and over in every text box.
It's absolutely much smaller. My lvl 50 Cecil is only around 414k xp total, but you used to need just under 800k total to hit that level back in the FF Complete Collection. Don't know the values for the original, but I suspect they are close.
