no, thats lame. just continually always be buying games like i am

speaking of buying games i just bought The Letter and FFIII (pixel remaster) on Steam. the latter i'm still not sold on - as much as i appreciate the new music, i'm mad that the old ost isn't also included apparently? or at least i haven't seen anything about that. i hope i'm proven wrong. i know there's also some graphical issues which apparently have simple fixes but it's incredibly stupid that they're there to begin with. i kinda got this just because it's probably the best way to play 3 atm. hopefully the pixel remasters of 4-6 will not have the same graphical issues.

so in addition to those, i also just bought the LRG release of No More Heroes on Switch and Disgaea D2 on PS3.

i have 3 games in my main backlog and i dont know why ive put them off for so damn long lol

Played through the FFIII Pixel Remaster. I'll copypaste what I wrote on my list in the 52 games thread:

This is the best version of FFIII. If you haven't played this game at all, this would be the version to play. It's an amalgamation of changes made between various previous versions and a slew of new QOL updates and rebalances, with a beautiful new rendition of its OST to boot. And the new music still FEELS like classic Final Fantasy, while still being gorgeous new arrangements. The new version of "Eternal Wind" is just phenomenal. But at its core, this is the NES game, NOT the DS one. So new content they added to that one is unfortunately missing. Not a big deal imo. New QOL stuff includes: streamlining menu mechanics (like Ninjas having a Throw command from later games instead of having to equip Shurikens and then re-equip them after throwing them), small rebalances to various jobs to make them more usable, the ability to switch jobs on the fly without having to spend job points or whatever (thank GOD), a run button, a "quick battle" button that's more useful than you'd think, a general difficulty rebalance that makes the difficulty feel just right tbh, and other minor things less important. The new sprites look great, the backgrounds are basically the mobile version's which look good and very similar to SNES FF games, and the general effects like explosions, magic, etc. are all updated to look great too, again a lot like the SNES ones but a little better in some cases. Granted, this is still FFIII. Barebones story and clunky dialogue and everything. And of course your warriors are unnamed heroes, unlike the named ones in the DS version (but I gave them their DS names lol). It's a solid RPG. Classic and lightweight. My only gripe with this version specifically is that I wish they had also included the old NES OST and allowed us to switch between them.

All that being said, this is so far the only Pixel Remaster I've purchased, let alone played. I can't yet vouch for the other two. But this one being this good is certainly a good sign. I'm less interested in the 4-6 Pixel Remasters though, because those don't need this treatment as badly. And, as much as I love the redone III OST, I'm still scared for the possibility of me not liking the PR VI OST as much as the original. But we'll see.
