Look how much better the original Night Raiders looks.

I'm not sure how widely liked they are but I feel like this about all the updated re-releases of classic Final Fantasy games Square has done. There's something cursed about the chibi sprites being rendered in smooth high res when the original reason for the artstyle was the limited resolution available at the time.

I also hate the FFVII-IX rereleases with that awful, awful font they use. It looks so incredibly bland and generic where the old crunchy one had tons of character

Even Squeenix realized that the hyper smooth art looked bad eventually, leading to the "Pixel remasters".

I agree about the font though. I think that's an artifact of the PC version being based on the mobile version instead of being a direct port like FF7 and 8 are.
