FINAL FANTASY VI STEAM MODS MOD

Steam user pluckylump is working on a respriting effort that does the characters justice. Nyxo released his FFVI_Explore tool that lets modders extract sprite data from the encrypted obb file the game uses, and the latest version allows modders to create 'patches' that can be applied individually so that you don't have to redistribute the 700MB file each time you release a mod, and it means you can apply multiple mods without having to extract/apply them yourself. Modding is coming along pretty well so far. They brightened the hell out of the art so that it would be viable in a regular GBA model, but when you play it on a proper system, its very washed out. The GBA port is also lacking in the visual department. Im still not buying this PC version, I dont want to support such a barebones effort. The sprite thickness and detail is also really uneven across the board, making it a poor experience overall (whereas the original was excellent in this regard)

The mod that removes a lot of the VFX on top of the sprites helps a lot, but you still have background sprite art thats badly made, with really poor tiling in many places. Its like everyone on the art team was ofdf doing their own thing and they just slapped everything together in the end, with no regards to art direction or visual integrity. Regardless, its still a poor effort because theyre not made in conjunction with the backgrounds, thats why they look so off because they dont work well together with the rest of the game. The new sprites were made by one of the FF VI artists, however I dont think it was 'the' artist for those sprites.
