Please fix the font
This is what EO3 looked like on the DS:

This is what EO3 looks like in the port:

The new fonts look hideous and diminish the charm of the games. Before anyone tries to say this is an overreaction, back in the day, Atlus actually understood this:

It's like you want people to emulate instead of shelling out 90 bucks (lmao)

Replace the font yourself. It's on PC. Or just play on original if you're that nostalgic for pixellation.

Honestly, The HD font doesn't look that bad. Sorry they didn't choose something that specifically pleases you.

Yeah, the font isn't great. A lot of companies seem to completely miss the mark with their re-re-releases and changing of fonts, unfortunately.

This was the second thing that I thought after "Wow, finally some EO content".
"This font is horrible".
To be fair the OG font would have been bad on a big screen, but this lifeless font is even worse...

While I'm not a fan of the new font, its still miles better than whats in your original shot.

Yeah, the new fonts are hideous. May as well have used Comic Sans for how well they fit.

The people saying the new font is fine are objectively wrong. It looks atrocious.

Obviously it doesn't make the game unplayable, but I've seen PowerPoint presentations with more soul than this.

FTFY. What you think of the presentation is always subjective, not objective.

Nope, some things are actually just bad. No one would look at this and think it was actually good.

It looks like a placeholder font you would use in alpha.

OP, you should pin this post.
This comment is the perfect concise answer that probably lot of us/EO fans have for this HD remake.

PS : Won't buy it despite not having played this EO among the series.
PS PS : Just me or the spell effects in the trailer seems to break immersion (the ice storm in particular) ? Gave similar vibes like the low-quality RPG games costing 2-3$ out there by amateurs.

True.
Also advice, try to ignore him.
Explanation : just look at the words written "profile" and you will understand in 5s.
His first "snarky" comment was a clue but the profile self-description was the nail.

Here's a better comparison that shows it's only the English localization that has the font issue. Even the JP release has proper English font:

I'm not buying EOIII until it's fixed just saying.

There's an alignment issue on top of the font there too; in 3's original you can see the placement of the battle menu is angled along with the UI, whereas in the remaster all the battle text is vertically aligned, ignoring the angle of the UI element.
It's such simple stuff but it makes it look so much worse.

Looks like localisers ruined things yet again then. Truly disheartening.
