Capturing that abstract art is what I want though! Something like Sable, but Amano instead of Moebius:
And y'know, SE money instead of an indie. Something like that and the sketchiness of the War of the Lions cutscenes:

So we're all in agreement that a Final Fantasy VI remake should look like Octopath Traveler, right?

I don't like this notion that all things need to be high grade realism PS4 graphics to be taken seriously. FF6 sprites on SNES looked derpy but the story stood its ground and still had plenty of emotional impact even without character models made up of tens of thousands of polys. Not to mention there are so many moments in FF6 that beg for a quirky art style, including but not limited to train suplexing and anything involving Ultros.
I watched the cutscenes in FFIV DS, and watching Edge cry over his dead parents with those completely detail-less character models made me laugh out loud. It's impossible to take it seriously looking like that.
It doesn't need hyper-realism, but a story as high-drama as VI needs characters that can emote.
And low poly 3D can emote! We aren't talking about DS style. Think about graphics Wii - > Switch fidelity. That's sort of what I meant by 3DS.
The original FFVI looks better to me than Octopath, I liked the game enough but if they'd remake FFVI this way I don't think it's needed at all.
Thanks. Just feel something is lost making these characters less like the concept art which is amazing already.
Basically whatever can capture the look and feel of the world and not take 10 years to develop :P.
Also, I'd honestly just love FF6 on my Switch. FF9 and 8 are a joy on it.
Brave Exvius sprites.Final Fantasy IV/After Years PSP style please:
But with enemies that have animations
That's a hell yes from me. Love that style. I'm enjoying Octopath though, I know some are turned off by the art and that's fine. Different strokes and all that.
But it would have the benefit of possibly releasing within a decade...so there's that.
Maybe a full on FFVIIRemake would be best, but would Square commit that many resources and years to a game that likely doesn't have nearly the sales potential of VII? (I prefer VI to VII, but concede the latter has a much higher ceiling)

I guess I'm not sure *shrug*. That one mobile 'remaster' went a bit too far in smoothing out pixels.
Something I've always wondered though is if people would like Square to 'remake' the game, but adopt the surrealist art style of Yoshitaka Amano in 2.5D or 3D as the main look of the game rather than the way FF7R is a bit more on the realistic side.
or an take on it

I would be much more excited for a FF6 remake in the Octopath Traveler style than I would be for a remake in the FF7R style.
NO. Octopath style might be cute and nice, but within the whole picture of making sales, it does not generate enough hype and sales.
Looking at current hype, the way to go is FF7R style, a revamp of everything. The graphics will also create tons of memes.

I wouldn't mind it some stuff in octopath looks fantastic but also I think the world of pixelart especially in the indie space is like light years beyond what octopath delivered.
So yes I would want a remake to be pixel art but I also would want it to look like it's AAA pixel art surpassing stuff indie devs do which octopath I don't think really does.

I agree with RagnarokX. Octopath's art style is designed to remind you of the original look of 16-bit games such a FFVI. While I definitely wouldn't expect something like the FFVII treatment, I would be a bit disappointed if a remake of FFVI didn't overhaul the perspective of the world. Something like the remake of Trials of Mana could be cool.
I think Square-Enix is going to see big, big $$$$$ from the Final Fantasy VII Remake and want to stick with that approach if VI is remade.
An Ocotopath style would be cool, but it likely is not going to sell the types of numbers a higher end style in the vein of FF7R will.

Fuck no
I don't know who you are, but I will hunt you down and make you pay for this.

I always wanted a DS style remake ala 3 and 4. Give Vector the world map representation it deserves like a smaller scale Esthar rather than the sorry small sprite surrounded by lush greenery:
Something World of Final Fantasy level would be appropriate since the chibi look works for FF6
