My Final Fantasy experience dates back to VI, when I was at middle school and I tried it on my phone (the weak smartphone port), I didn't believe that the franchise pull me in itself. Then I played the VII (although still didn't finished it) and on and on increases my passion of this franchise. Now the Pixel Remaster is here and the first six episode got a proper remaster and updated to current generation platforms. So let's begin.

Visuals: To be honest I never played much with the original release however after many interpretations all I can say, that it awakes nostalgia for those who are in the series since the first game, However I played Brave Exvius for a long time and that game has more detailed sprites of guest characters even though they only features when the player in battle mode. I would've expected this kind of graphics, however I liked the graphics of Pixel Remaster and the game have a CRT display option in the configuration menu, too shame that you can't change from the front screen menu.

Gameplay: As I said before I can't say too much from the previous interpretations of this game, however the battles were easy, except the boss fight which makes the player to be careful and don't rely on the auto-battle mode. Overall, it was great, however the dungeons can be tiring after some time so it is advised to take a break and final battle is makes you sweat so I recommend guides meanwhile you play the game and you want to unlock all of the achievements. The dungeons are different, some of them affect to the party, but gaining Gil with slashing monsters it's pretty easy so you can store a lot of items or find them in the dungeons which may help you in the journey. Those who are annoyed by random encounters or slow progress, you have the opportunity to customize your progress in the configurations menu. Yes, you can increase the XP, Gil, switch between movement modes and turn off the Encounter setting if you are in a risky situation.

Story: Although the characters we interact with have such few-line monologues and it's not fair to ask this from a game which more than 35 years old, but what I want to say that is, I am fond of it. It has a great story and each character has depth, and as we progress through, we have to help several people who helps us on the way. Till we reach our main goal. Restore the Crystals to Grace.

Music: I once I heard the prelude of Final Fantasy was a chiptune-like song and as the franchise progresses the soundtrack part will also become more and more versatile. Uematsu-san made a breathtaking musics for this franchise and the arrangement made the first game's soundtrack to more imaginative.

Overall, that I can say is, the remaster was fascinating even though they keep the core gameplay to the same to keep the original identity of the first game, but it can be customized to own personal taste. I really hope that I can keep up with the rest of the anthology and I hope despite the circumstances, Square Enix will be able to regain it's golden age.

Welcome to the family, son!

When I got acquainted with the Persona series, I played P5 because I recently got PS4 console. As a result, I started to browsing the series and it is a great pity that game's predecessors were not available to me. Now that Persona 4 Golden has been released on Steam that day. I got it that day, and just as I experienced in Persona 5, the same way Persona 4 offers the same amazing experience on PC. I couldn't say much because I said I didn't have a chance to play with the game's predecessors. But I hope that in the future this will change and I can get the rest of the series on Steam as well. I planned to collect the game on PS Vita as well so I can carry it with me while playing. I have to say I'm still at the beginning of the game, but it's been 17 hours since I started it, but of course that's to be expected from Atlus and an RPG game.
