If they ever bring back FFVI or another classic, this is how it should be like

Well, duh. I've not been hyping this shit up since reveal for nothing. Still hope it comes to other platforms though.

It looks really good. But is it just me or is the lighting at times is a little awkward sometimes? There are boarder shadows and out of place sparkling effects on water and such. Does it look this way while playing?

Agree. It looks incredible.

Yeah the corners are too dark and the lighting can be extreme, but those are artistic choices that can be tweaked.

I wish it was coming to PC too.
But, either way, it looks near perfect.

Also, I will never be comfortable with marketing terms.

2D HD is just such a weird term. There's a bunch of 2D games that run in HD. I get that it's a marketing term but it's still weird.

The game is beautiful though

The only games I consider HD 2D is Octopath Traveler, Cosmic Star Heroine and Sonic Mania.

I'm sure there are more, but I dont count all the indies with the "fat pixel" look that abuse the retro term.

 Rayman Legends? 

I honestly feel 2D games done so realistically look weird. In 8 and 16-Bit games, the images and scenes we're seeing are so far removed from reality and it works because let's face it... 2D ISN'T realistic. We don't live in a 2D world. So when I see a realistic looking 2D world it actually makes said world LESS immersive for me.

I prefer 2D to be in 8 and 16-bit... or something flat and cartoon-like etc.
