Found on the main menu of each of the games, the bestiary will present a traditional list of creatures and their stats, but that isn’t all! You can also view and explore a map that shows the areas that each creature is found in, all presented in a far more visually appealing manner. The addition of a bestiary has become somewhat expected in Final Fantasy remasters, but I was pleasantly surprised by its upgrade this time around. This is an excellent piece of added info for all the completionists out there. Specifically, this map will show you what shops are in any given place, the number of chests and treasures there are, and how many you have found. In addition to the mini-map that is always present, you can also open a larger version with more information. Handy features, to be sure, and you won’t have to worry about remembering that strange button combination to bring the map up, like in other versions. You now constantly have access to a mini-map in the corner of your screen that will keep track of cities, towns, and dungeons you find on the overworld map, and this can show you where the various shops are when you are inside a city. While much is retained from the original versions of the games, there are still some modern conveniences and updates. Each spell level has its own pool of points they pull from, and it can be annoying to adjust to, but after a little while, it shouldn’t be too much of a hassle. As you raise your levels, you will gain points and the ability to cast level two, three, four, all the way up to level eight spells.
For example, Fire is a level one spell, so you must have at least one point for level one spells to cast it. It will be instantly understandable to those who have played Dungeons & Dragons, but for others, in essence, each spell costs only one point to cast, and more powerful spells require higher-level points to use.
Instead, these games return to the original spell slots from their 8-bit counterparts. Yep, that’s right you won’t be casting spells from a pool of magic points. This will mark the first time English-speaking players will begin the game as four unnamed onion knight orphans.Īnother significant change that new players may not expect with Final Fantasy 1 and Final Fantasy 3 is the disappearance of MP. With Final Fantasy 1 and Final Fantasy 2, the bonus dungeons added in the Gameboy Advance and PSP versions have been omitted, and Final Fantasy III ditches the named characters from the 3D version.
These versions presented in the Pixel Remaster Series are faithful to the original Famicom/NES offerings without many of the additions that were added in later re-releases.
