Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster is my definitive version of Final Fantasy. Having played Final Fantasy I many times, over many versions, this remaster is what I feel comes closest to capturing the original essence of Final Fantasy. From the simplistic but beautiful pixel art, to the incredible soundtrack which was remade in its entirety by the famous Nobuo Uematsu, everything here fits perfectly. At least, for me.

There are some technical issues however. Screen tearing is everywhere, and I had to use a third party software to fix it. The font is really ugly, so I opted to mod in Final Fantasy VI's pixel font in its place. Lastly, you need to go into the options to fullscreen your game every time because it does not save your configuration. This is a small issue but an issue nonetheless.

Overall, if you can look past the technical flaws, I believe this to be by far the superior Final Fantasy experience. Even when compared with more visually appealing takes such as the PSP remake.

Edit
There has been an update which solves various technical issues within the game. It is also said that there will be more updates in the future.
