It might not be new or innovative, but it's quite possible anything else could have been an overkill when thinking of what the old game looked like. The longer I played the game, though, the more I started to get used to and enjoy the graphics. They did release the game for the PS Vita, so that might be where that comes from. It's simple, unimpressive and reminds rather of portable games than a PC release. Now, to the individual aspects.Īt first I was very skeptical at the art style. The game is definitely not unplayable - it does have its quirks and, from what I read, some technical issues (of which I encountered none during 8 hours of play), but it plays like any released game should play.

No matter if you're a fan of the old game or not, judging an entire game by 30 minutes of play is complete nonsense.

So, I played the game for a while now and judging by reviews in Steam, it's quite controversial, so I'm going to carefully explain how I perceived it and why.įirst off, I wouldn't really trust reviewers, who played the game less then an hour and then go 'the game is unplayable!!!11'. (especially considering that if it sells well, they may actually remake SD3 someday as well, although I wouldn't bet on that) To be honest, I'm a bigger fan of the Seiken Densetsu 3 (my favourite game of all time, in fact, hence my avatar picture) game, so I'm not as excited about the remake as I would have been about the remake of SD3, but being a fan of old Squaresoft games in general the 40 bucks is a must. The FF6 was done well, but wasn't quite something you would call a remake. The sprite rework was really good, but the character portraits had some really weird art style I could never wrap my head around. I played the 'remake' of FF5 and it was quite okay. What do you think? Hype or no hype? Square Enix has been disappointing with Final Fantasy since 13, but realistically, what could go wrong with remaking a game that was already made? Just wondering how close to the original they will be and what the fresh, new additions will be. 15th and is already available for pre-purchase on Steam (39,99$). In case anyone missed it (like me, who just happened to stumble upon it today by randomly googling), a remake of Secret of Mana will be launching on Feb.
