Topic	How are the SNES Final Fantasy Steam ports?
MariaTaylor 09/12/19 4:11:15 PM #2:	I'm playing FF6 for the first time right now, so I did a little bit of research on this recently for my own purposes. My understanding is... the original SNES version has what is considered the best graphics and sound the GBA version has basically the same graphics and sound, but lower quality. however, there is added content to the game. this makes it worth it to play the GBA version if you're okay with handheld quality. also, it can be patched with the SNES quality. the PS1 version is I guess a joke that everyone hates. the Steam version has all of the added content from the GBA version... however... it has totally different graphics than the original SNES version. the sprites are all totally redone. the style of the game is brighter and more washed out looking, less detailed, and less impressive overall. this is really a sticking point for most people. the main thing I've heard is that the Steam version is worth playing only because it can be modded. this can fix the new design issues and also opens up opportunities to include things that weren't in the original or GBA version (like a fully orchestrated soundtrack mod that is considered pretty quality). I can't give much advice beyond that because, well, that's the point where I made my decision. didn't feel like going through the effort to find out which mods were good or to install them, so I'm playing the GBA version. --- I saw the truth, I saw endless night skies; Understanding is pain. https://imgtc.ws/i/OObNl5s.jpg <cite>MariaTaylor posted [p:927346327] in How are th...
