![]() The first three games do manage to achieve this with varying degrees of success. The main selling point of the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series is the visual overhaul, one that attempts to stay as faithful as possible to the originals. Thankfully, the final dungeon is not as terrible as it was in the original, thanks to the addition of a Quicksave feature that lets players save at any time outside of combat. Final Fantasy III has seen the most balancing tweaks of the three games, but even with them, the experience still manages to be quite challenging, often forcing players to go for an optimal Job lineup for certain bosses, like for the Garuda battle. The difficulty level has also been tweaked, and both games are considerably easier than the original NES releases, especially Final Fantasy I. Final Fantasy I, for example, has seen the removal of an early EXP farming spot, the famous Power Peninsula, while Final Fantasy II now features gauges that tell the player exactly when weapon proficiency will level up. ![]() While the Final Fantasy I and II gameplay doesn't feel all that different from that seen in the most recent remakes, such as those released on PSP and mobile, the Pixel Remasters feature some balancing tweaks that make the experience feel a little less dated and slightly more balanced. The Pixel Remaster also marks the first time the original NES game has been brought to Western audiences in some form, as the original was never localized officially. Final Fantasy III is definitely the best of the three games in terms of gameplay, featuring an improved Job System and a generally challenging experience that forces players to understand the system to make it out alive from the game's many difficult battles. Final Fantasy II, on the other hand, is still today one of the most unique 2D entries in the series, featuring predetermined main characters, a classic story of an evil empire bent on world domination, a unique dialogue system, and a more natural growth system that does away with experience point in favor of a proficiency system. The first Final Fantasy is a classic turn-based RPG that has been strongly influenced by D&D, featuring a straightforward story and many of the themes and the gameplay mechanics that have become a staple for the series, such as the importance of the Crystals, the Job System and so on. ![]() At their heart, the first three Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters haven't changed a whole lot over the original NES releases.
