Particularly, all screenshots that includes textual content have been faraway from the official itemizing for the video games on the Sq. Enix Retailer – which in flip raises hopes that these new console variations of the sport will function a special font and visible presentation of FF1-6’s vastly necessary textual content packing containers.
The PC and Cellular variations of the FF Pixel Remasters function a very ugly font that got here in for widespread criticism from followers – we even ended up posting a information on how you can repair the font by switching it out for different, extra acceptable typefaces on PC. On consoles, this is not an possibility, so followers had been hoping Sq. Enix would take the complaints to coronary heart and make sure the font was modified for the console variations of the Pixel Remasters.
That meant that followers had been disillusioned when yesterday’s console FF Pixel Remaster reveal landed with screenshots that confirmed the identical ugly, condensed typeface as used within the official PC and cellular launch – however now, curiously, all screenshots with that font current have been faraway from the itemizing for the console launch. Curiously, any screenshots that do not function any textual content stay.
Moreover, through a number of confidential sources RPG Web site understands that the console launch of the Pixel Remasters will function an adjusted font, making it possible that these screenshots had been uploaded to this new itemizing by mistake. For us, that is additionally not a brand new growth: we have been listening to phrase of the font altering for future ports on the grapevine for a lot of months now.
Notably, all screenshots on the itemizing had been beforehand used on the Steam pages for the assorted Pixel Remaster video games – they weren’t new photos. It appears possible they had been reused for the brand new announcement by mistake. No screenshot featured any console-specific UI or button prompts, both.
We have reached out to Sq. Enix for remark, and can replace this story if we get a response – however given the screenshots have been eliminated and what we’ve got heard behind-the-scenes, we firmly consider that this Spring 2023 launch will function some type of new font and textual content presentation – one which will even hopefully be patched again into the PC and Cellular variations.
A modified font will not make the Pixel Remasters definitive, sadly – they’re nonetheless lacking a number of content material from the PS1, PSP, and GBA variations of the video games, and the PC and Cellular variations suffered some fairly disappointing efficiency issues – however it’s going to treatment the most important visible subject the video games have – which is an enormous win.
