Is it just me, or are the ATB gauges gone?
I always turn them off when I play FFVI. I'll turn then on for a couple of battles and grab a screenshot to show how that looks.
Sabin and Edgar look like big breasted ladies from the side.
The longer I look, the stronger my migrane becomes and nausea takes over.
Why bother making it look like this after they spoiled us with FFIV:CC?
I still really, really, really, really hate the character sprites. I think they're disgusting.
But I also really like the character portraits.
Let's face it.
It's hard to ruin Final Fantasy VI.
If I have opportunity to get it, I'ma get it.
And the beat goes on...
(SPOILER)
Turns out there is no ATB gauge in this mobile port. Each character's command menu slowly rises up from the bottom of the screen and when it's reached full height that character can act.

So far I like Cyan's portrait the best.

Shadow looks like he has weird growths
I haven't really changed my opinion. I still think the sprites look too flat and bland
After some playing around with photoshop today, I'm actually not sure how much drawing has been done to them. I'm currently playing around with certain upscaling and interpolation filters to see how close I can get an original sprite to the phone-version sprites. So far, I've gotten very very close and I haven't really spent a lot of time on this yet. I'm also far from a professional at photoshop or whatever.
It is possible that they just upscaled the original sprites, cleaned up the outline borders and added a tiny bit of detail by hand on top of that. Then again, I've only played around with the Lobo sprite so far, and I suppose important bosses could have gotten a more complete makeover.. The proportions and details on the lobo line up so perfectly that I'd say at least this sprite is very likely to be mostly not drawn anew for this version of the game.
