Noticed the Pixel Remaster FOV has been reduced compared to the SNES original. Is there a way to fix this?

[Justin]

I'm wanting to play the Pixel Remaster, but the FOV has been reduced and the character size increased so much, that it looks like the overworld is "zoomed in." I can't enjoy the game like this, has anyone else noticed this? Is it possible to fix it?

I've tried changing the aspect ratio to 4:3, but that doesn't increase the FOV

sad but true

I think that's because they took the gba games as reference to make these remasters, and in these games the FOV also is reduced because the GBA have a lower resolution than SNES

On a related note, you can see that the battle screens have larger resolution than the navigation screens. I noticed this because on the battle screens the characters look significally smaller (kind of like the image references you showed)

I'm not sure but i think this is the same for all PR games, but on VI is notorious because the characters use the same sprites for navigation and battle screens

It's a small price to pay so we can have widescreen support.

Thanks for the comparison screenshot, that actually tells me a lot. It looks to me like even though the vertical space is a couple tiles smaller, the horizontal space is about four tiles wider. So it's simultaneously less and more detailed.

I've been on the fence about getting this version, but I think I'll give it a shot, probably with some mods to adjust the palette.
