Final Fantasy, Final Fantasy II, Final Fantasy III, Final Fantasy IV, Final Fantasy V and Final Fantasy VI were all remastered for the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4. All of these classic Japanese role-playing games were originally designed for CRT televisions; as a result, the pixels may not look like what you previously remembered if you play them years ago.
Thankfully, the development team at Square Enix did add a scan line filter graphical option that you can enable. To find out how you can change the visuals for all six of these games from the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster collection, you can take a look at this tutorial from Seeking Tech.
1. For the first step, you need to open the in-game menu while playing Final Fantasy, Final Fantasy 2, Final Fantasy 3, Final Fantasy 4, Final Fantasy 5 or Final Fantasy 6.
You can do so by pressing the X button on the Nintendo Switch when you are exploring the field. If you are playing on PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5, then you need to press the Triangle button.
2. Once you open the in-game menu, you need to select Configuration.
3. From the Configuration, scroll down and then move the cursor to Graphic Display, which should have the following description:
- “Adjust the look of the on-screen graphics.”
4. By default, the setting is set to Standard.
In order to add scan lines, you will need to change Graphic Display to Classic.
5. Adding scan lines may also change the brightness display.
If you feel that the game has become too dark or too bright, then you can return to the Configuration screen and then move the cursor down to the Brightness slider. Afterwards, you will be able to re-adjust the brightness level.
If you don’t like the look of the scan lines filter, then you can change the Graphic Display setting from the Configuration menu back to Standard.
