Don’t get all the hate for the 3D versions… it was a DS game, after all! And low poly 3D has its own charm, just like low res sprites can! Also, there’s something to be said for a model that can animate versus a static image that can only flash and disappear.
The 3D version is the definitive version in my opinion. And I’ve played all versions, nostalgia is the only reason people try to underrate this masterpiece. But well... this is internet, where there are fights about everything.
Some people hate the characters, but I think somewhat 2d dimensional cast is still better than just blank empty slates. And I personally found them the new characters really charming, especially in the way the writers made them matter to the actual world and npcs. I'd say it's one of the best examples of retroactively adding characters to an already existing story that I've seen
Or he could get PS1 version of the game. Since FF4 was ported worldwide which is good! The original version. But PR looks cool, i think atleast the Town theme is improved in PR than the original since it has a Oasis feel to it. But sadly... you cant change window colour in PR :(. One thing they did improve on is dialogue. I hated DS way it portrayed Cecil who seemed too polite when he is supposedly a Dark Knight after all. Not Gentleman class to be exact.
Gotta say, I played this game multiple times and I don't understand the hate for this game. I thought it was an easy game to follow and play. I do see it's flaws like pacing but alot of my favorite games have that issue but I digress
the US skipped FF3 (and 2) and went straight to 4, renaming it as FF2 in the US. I thought it was a huge graphical upgrade. But when I finally played FF3 after emulators came out in the late 90s.. i was surprised how close in graphic it was to FF4. It was basically FF4's graphics on the NES
Yep, that’s because they hadn’t really learned how to utilize the SNES fully yet, which you can see in FF VI and Chrono Trigger, arguably the most visually striking games on the SNES and of all time too. Kinda the same deal with FF VII which is very rudamentary graphic wise. By FF VIII and IX they really improved. The music however, that is some worlds apart.
FFII NES was going to be a thing to be release though Nintendo pulled the plug and force cancelled it and said the graphics were outdated and should slap FFII on FFIV instead because it would totally fit for the upcoming console which is a true story.
Could do a video comparing original sprites, 3d remake models, and FFXIV versions of quite a few things since they included a lot of older game content
I haven't play the original final fantasy yet, but i like the pixel one because monster look like monster while 3d remake some monster look like a pets or like docile "monster"
Thanks Voiceless :). The problem with pixel remaster is its price, too expensive for an improvement in the sprites. I really liked their new soundtrack but, as I mentioned before, its price is too expensive.
At least the enemies they were animated lol Not just flash even the background area look lifeless on pixel version compared to 3D version oh come on this isn't 90ish anymore yet nostalgiard and 2d lover hate the 3d version without being able to see the pros.
@RAYHAN REHEMA PUTRA to be fair anything have Strength and Weakness not just visual lol hater usually only count the weakness Besides everyone have different taste you can't force someone to like what you like maybe you love old outdated 3D graphics or 2D sprite and those appeal to you but hated by others That's your right to love Classics graphics more but keep in mind that if you disrespect other people liking don't expect people respect yours
@RAYHAN REHEMA PUTRA besides I don't mind about 2d version of final fantasy games but if they keep that old outdated gameplay well I'm not talking about gameplay being turn based but statics enemies and lifeless battle area are ugh
Thanks for showcasing these! I'm not going to lie, I wish they would just make a 3D remake with assets instead of just doing it this way. The price doesnt seem to be worth it 😅 But I still love Final Fantasy
first pixels, then 3d models, then HD pixels, obviously next they'll; make a 3d Remake - Remastered HD models top be on par with the remastered 2d pixels
I noticed that some of the more complicated sprites do look washed out in the 3ds version but some of the original sprites are also atrocious looking and look much better in 3D. All in all it’s not bad.
Who made up those enemies should be... I don't know, very bad monsters, Hydra being a woman? Dullahan being a woman? Thanatos? Very bad monsters overal! They just searched for mythological monsters names and pasted them on random monster designs.
For one, Hydra is known to be the child of Echidna in Greek Mythology, another boss in Final Fantasy III. Knowing the relation, and that it's a Famicom game, many sprites are the same but different coloured to save on space. Squaresoft at the time really went hard on trying to optimise space, and pushing the Famicom cartridge to its limit. To complain about something that couldn't be helped is just nitpicking. Secondly, Dullahan. Dullahan is a Headless Knight that's either male or female. Doesn't matter. So I don't see why you have an issue with the gender. Thirdly, Thanatos... Actually you're right about that. Just a name slapped onto an earlier sprite but with a different colour. Lastly... Yes, they have been used in future games in the series... Same as Ifrit, Shiva, Ramuh and Bahamut. It's basically a tradition with a basis of what was established.
@@mcihay246 Remora is a fish monster that slows down boats, not a rock of coral, Abaia is a giant monstrous eel in myths, not, whatever that thing is. Also Fachan is a creature with one arm, one leg and one eye, that thing clearly lost all the points. I could go on forever, if there is one game-series that destroys the names of mytholgical creatures, it's not D&D (those are mostly good), it's Final Fantasy.
@@wesleyvalk9129 Ah. Fair enough. However... I don't understand why you think FF is destroying Mythology? I find it as it's own personal interpretation, with a basis upon mythology. Besides, only a fool would believe the designs in FF to be the designs in legends. Bahamut may not be a Dragon, but it certainly brings forward on what the Etymology is for those that are interested. Also, you just answered your own question. FF and DnD are different. Both with their own lore and basis, with either a direct or subtle influence on Mythology. Or are you honestly suggesting that Fantasy cannot be interpreted differently in different ways?
Is it just me that loving the 2D version? I think it has more appeal than the boxy 3D version
2D is without a doubt more detailed but the boxy N64 bodies have a unique nostalgic appeal
@@Zonedoutallthetime More detailed? are you blind lol
They both look good honestly so I’m glad I got the old physical stuff still.

There's hate against it? I enjoyed ff3D more because of the 3d model. Would've never played it otherwisw.

@Final Boss Music My biggest gripe with the 3D version is how unreliable agility is. It makes bosses more aggravating than they have any right to be.
... I'm surprised to hear that people hate the 3d models. Also, I didn't know that it was meant for DS. I thought it was for PCs.

15:07 anybody else who thinks this looks like Cecil. Before Cecil became a character in FF4
OH snap you should do one with Final Fantasy 4 and its DS remake for comparison
Hello MrPr1993, thanks for your suggestion, soon I will make the FFIV version :)

Its interesting to see the remaster and 3d and then think of the ff14 versions of some of these dudes.

Good game. Sadly years ago, i was not able to go really far in this game, i should try finishing it someday in the future
So which one has more content? Theres 3d versions on steam & the 1-6 2d bundle is comin out soon
Could do a video comparing original sprites, 3d remake models, and FFXIV versions of quite a few things since they included a lot of older game content
that game sux
What engine was used to create the 3D remake?
FF 3 3D remake Is the best ❤️
15:09 - Laughing in memory of ProJared's reaction.
I would have love final fantasy as a kid but It never crossed my path until nowadays
I love you so much
Best version is DS. Jobs are balanced, is still hard and we have a mini endgame.
Gracias thanks
Thank you for watching my video :).
Black belt is the best classes in this game
Download?
I haven't play the original final fantasy yet, but i like the pixel one because monster look like monster while 3d remake some monster look like a pets or like docile "monster"
Even though the 3d versions were ugly, the pixel remasters seem so pointless ...
But awesome video !

They all leave something to be desired. I actually prefer the 2d versions. More character and detail.
No Iron Giant?
Hi Mac, The Iron Giant is exclusive in the 3D remake
If a raid in FFXIV should be based on FFIX the theme played at 12:10 must be in
That is a thing already, The Weeping City of Mhach
3D version is best version IMO. But PPR has a much better sound track.
I agree I think the ds version is fun as it's a bit harder.. but you simply can't beat pixel soundtrack.
They did a good job, with this game.
As much as I like the 2D sprites, I prefer their 3D models
Now do FF3 3D versus FFXIV Crystal Tower raids lol
I dont know. . The pixelated version is more detailed in my opinion.
To me some looks better than the others
So it's even to me
More unique each has it's own attack animations
I noticed that some of the more complicated sprites do look washed out in the 3ds version but some of the original sprites are also atrocious looking and look much better in 3D. All in all it’s not bad.
@@hurotiz
It's a 50/50
those 3d models have no character
I Like 3d more 🤷🏻♂️😊
Not gunna lie... looks way better in original. What a waste. No wonder its Smart Phone only. The gaming community would rip this shit to pieces.
Awww... you never made a human race comparison for warcraft reforged..😥😥
Sprites >>>>>>>>>> 3D Models
I hate the 3D graphics , they look cheap.
Was never a fan of the DS graphics
3D better
shitty cashgrab that pixel remaster, they should at least animated the enemies to make it worth like octopath traveler
2D sprites wins.
3D looks better
3D graphics really suck
Remake butchered most of the good pixel art so bad .....
Who made up those enemies should be... I don't know, very bad monsters, Hydra being a woman? Dullahan being a woman? Thanatos? Very bad monsters overal! They just searched for mythological monsters names and pasted them on random monster designs.
Do you realise that this was a famicom game made in 1989-1990?
@@romannikonenko7325 Many of those monsters are still in Final Fantasy today, so my point still stands.
