the colours are a bit washed out. i prefer the vibrancy of the old sprites, but I do think the new ones make the features of the character read a bit better.

That's exactly what I was thinking. They're nicely detailed but seemingly duller in color. It's leagues above whatever garbage they used for the Steam/mobile ports, but the color pallette could use improving.
Same could be said for Warrior of Rage, Jack tbh

I figured it was too much to hope for for everything to get the PSP 1, 2, and 4 treatment 
Yeah, don't love them. Obviously better than the existing V and VI atrocities, but so is RPGMaker2000.
EDIT: Getting more annoyed, lol. How does that FF1 fighter sprite look so bad?! The PS1 sprite is definitely better, and YET AGAIN, the PSP version completely blows it out of the water.
Why won't you just use this style, Square?

Yeah the PSP art style that I, II, and IV had seem like the ideal level of detail for the 2D style that’s not the 2.5D HD style that Octopath has been doing.I figured it was too much to hope for for everything to get the PSP 1, 2, and 4 treatment

But I suppose that since the current mobile versions of FFI and FFII are already based on the PSP versions, SE figured that people were specifically looking for the 16-bit style than the 32-bit style (or are the PSP FF games 64-bit style pixels?).

This is likely in response to hate people had towards FFV and FFVI's mobile ports.
These ports seem like a nice idea. Paying tribute to the original style of the games...
But the PSP ports were better? The upscaled sprites in that game were beautiful and still faithful, especially in FFIV. The FFI and II PSP enemy sprites were often more faithful than their PS/GBA counterparts.
The sprites they're using here are mostly from the GBA ports. In some cases they've remade enemy sprites to resemble the original NES designs: You can see the Adamantoise in the trailer (the PSP Adamantoise sprite was actually based on Amano's artwork). But they also kept Garland's PS/GBA sprite the same, which is... close enough, but I'd say less faithful than the PSP one was.
If they were going to remake the FFI-VI sprites in a consistent style, they could have at least created them at a higher resolution. Since they're the same resolution we can now look at the character sprites and wonder why the fuck they didn't just use the originals.
Based on what's been shown, this actually seems rather lazy.
The most interesting thing about these remakes is that it will be the first western release of the original FFIII. I also wonder how much of FFIII is salvaged from the unfinished WonderSwan Color port.

I heard second hand info about some stuff that might be at the big N’s direct tomorrow. I’m conflicted about spreading it, but I feel like I have to bring it up somewhere, hence this post 
Making claims like that can be pretty wild.
Even though I’m vaguely confident…
There’s never 100% certainty to rumors.
Random, sometimes fleeting…
Online discourse certainly is something crazy.
In the end, we’ll see during their presentation.
Don’t sweat it.
I also Don’t Know how accurate this is. If it’s not, I’m more than happy to look like a fool
I guess I’ll keep it to myself for the time being.

Then we find out it's a remaster of Other M and the E3 curse is complete.

I gave up and just bought one during the pandemic. So if they announce the Switch Pro now, you can thank me

Tekken's Kazuya comes to smash, representing the 3D fighting game genre.

Holy shit, that's actually a really good pick!
Please let his final smash be tossing his opponent into volcano. Please.
And Metroid is back. About fucking time.

The Kazuya trailer was fun
I still don't understand how Smash Bros is a real game
Imagine going back 20 years and telling your younger self
"Mario, Link, Solid Snake, Sonic, Ryu, Cloud, Sephiroth and Bayonetta are gonna be in the same game"
Your younger self would be like
"who the fuck is Bayonetta"
