Sq. Enix has launched a patch immediately for the PC variations of the Remaining Fantasy Pixel Remaster video games. Patch 1.10 contains the choice to change between basic and remastered soundtracks and basic pixelated and crappy fashionable fonts. 

In case one thing sounds off about this announcement to you, it’s as a result of these options had been already constructed into the console variations of those video games. Why it took almost a 12 months to make it to PC is fairly mystifying.

The fonts, specifically, had been hated by many who picked up the Remaining Fantasy Pixel Remaster video games again after they had been launched on PC in 2021. And it is smart. Pixel artwork is a stylistic selection, however when you pile one thing that isn’t consistent with the fashion on high of it, it’s not going to look proper. Typically, that’s what you need. Conflicting artwork types can create an unsettling or wacky look, however that’s not what they had been going for right here. It’s simply ugly.

On high of those additions/fixes, there are a variety of high quality of life options added in. These take the type of numerous “help” choices that permit you to tweak the velocity and problem of the video games to make them extra palatable to varied tastes. There are additionally UI enhancements, reminiscent of the flexibility to view the bestiary with out quitting to the primary menu.

It’s good to see Sq. Enix continues to be supporting these releases, however I really feel just like the video games deserve a bit bit higher. It’s bizarre to see the video games that virtually constructed the corporate exhibiting such lower corners. Don’t get me mistaken, the Pixel Remasters are an honest strategy to expertise Remaining Fantasy 1-6 on fashionable platforms. They repackage the video games in a extra coherent method with out utterly sacrificing their unique aesthetic. It’s simply that among the design choices present some upsettingly lower corners.

On the very least, decide a extra applicable font, you monsters.

The Remaining Fantasy Pixel Remasters can be found on PC and console. The 1.1.0 patch is now dwell on PC.
