I'm glad this exist despite me not liking every game.
I just played the first game and.... that was more of a remake then a remaster right? Or am I just stupid?
Only finished playing through 1, currently playing through 2 right now. I could just be stupid but the games can be vague and hard to follow. Still a great story regardless
4 and 6 carry this collection so hard.
BACKDATED LOG
Final Fantasy I only.
Notes written while playing:
"Middle section of this game has about as much narrative depth as a bargain bin hidden object game.
Enemy variety is as broad as it is hilarious. Enjoyed starting out fighting typical high fantasy enemies and eventually fighting mechs armed with nukes and various dinosaurs.
Ending had a relatively effective twist involving time travel that somehow actually makes sense.
Fantastic sense of progression, especially with the party evolution midway through the game.
Overall dull setting, though the flying fortress was an interesting location.
As it went on, it became apparent that many time-wasting design techniques implemented in order to bolster the game's length. These are mostly negated by the "Pixel Remaster" version's lowered difficulty."

This is probably the greatest JRPG collection ever made.
Final Fantasy: Pixel Remaster Collection featuring a remaster of Final Fantasy 1,2,3,4,5, and 6, with all of them being available individually for purchase. This bundle itself isn't anything to write home about, it's not something like Sonic Gems Collection or Super Mario 3D All-Stars, you don't really get any of that extra junk a normal collection would give you since on console it's that type of collection which just adds multiple games to your home screen rather than being one package with a selection menu (It would've been nice though...) If anything, it's closer to the Super Mario All-Stars from the SNES with all previous games remade to fit modern standards and with a unified art style that can be hit or miss depending on the entry.
I won't review every game from the collection here because I already did that individually but if you ever thought about playing these old gems, this is definitely the definitive edition, or the GBA versions if you are feeling extra quirky since they are pretty similar, but the GBA ost is a deal breaker for me, give me that sweet orchestra.
