    I want to see all of the screenshots so I can look upon it in horror. But specifically, town and boss pics, the occasional dungeon, etc.

    Honestly, so far I'm actually enjoying it. The graphics aren't that bad, especially with everything moving in-game. Granted I've only reached the first save point after entering the mine (I did this over my coffee break at work...).

    (SPOILER)
    Not surprisingly, the intro with the Magitek armors walking towards town looks cool:

    Some of the character portraits in the menu screen:

    One of the things I love about FFVI is the customization you can do with the backgrounds and borders of the menu and dialog screens. Unfortunately this is not present. The "Window Pattern" is really just six different colors:

    The environmental animation, including the smoke from the chmineys and the belts running on gears, is really smooth (not that a screen shot shows that...):

    In battle with The Wolf of Narshe. The battle controls are pretty smooth. You can scroll up and down each person's list of commands to select what you need. You can also tap on an enemy first and it will execute (or open the sub-menu for) the first available character's first command. I was hoping the "Auto" feature of FFIV would be included but it doesn't look like it.

    I like how they've overhauled the bestiary home screen:

    I'll grab some more screenshots when I play some more this evening.

    I don't think it looks anywhere near as bad as people are claiming.

    Those screenshots actually look better than the ones in the original post. Either some last minute touch ups were done or there's something wrong with my eyes, I don't know.

    The screenshots in the first post are blown up about twice as big as they normally appear when looking at a phone. I tried to size my images down to relative phone dimensions. I wonder if some reviewers that don't like the graphics are on a device with a huge screen. My phone screen is four inches so graphics tend to look a little crisper and less jagged with less artifacts.

    I couldn't resist taking a quick break to finish up the Esper intro part of the game. I'll put these screenshots into spoiler tags in case someone doesn't want to see them until they play the game themselves.

    I'm actually warming to this now. The monsters are drawn really well.

    It seems they were blown out of proportion.

    Yeah, the monsters are drawn pretty well. Nice screen shots, Mullet.

    I don't think that anyone was saying all of the graphics were awful. I think it was pretty clear from the initial screenshots that it was a mixed bag. Some of the enemies and other things look all right, but others like the characters and portraits, and some of the background elements just look atrocious compared to the originals.

    the only thing I don't like is the battle command menu and the umm colour thingy for the menu. I love having all the different colours available, and 6 just isn't enough.

    I have Final Fantasy VI for Super Famicom/SNES, PS One and GBA and instead of another 2D remake I would like to see one in 3D.

    Thanks Mullet, these screenshots are a lot better than what we were working with.

    Or you can be like me and have another one in 2D.

    :monster:

    Mulley's screenshots don't look too horrifying but the characters still look awful. Not quite as awful as before, but still not good.

    Btw the Magitek armor intro screenshot doesn't work.
