Final Fantasy fans, get ready for a treat. A fan has released a playable demo of an SNES-style demake of Final Fantasy 16 on PC, which you can download right now.
Going into even more details, xvibit has reimagined the free PC demo of Final Fantasy XVI as an SNES FF game. The demake has all the content that’s present in the free PC demo. It does not cover the entire game. So, make sure to keep that in mind. From what I know so far, there are no plans to cover other areas.
The demake features new chiptune arrangements of 18 tracks from FFXVI’s first chapter, as well as a mix of modified SNES FF SFX. It also has sprites, original pixel art, and tilesets by artists from the itch community.
I know that a lot of people wanted to play FF16 with a turn-based combat system. And, while this is a fan demake, it does allow you to experience something like that. So, if you are an old-school Final Fantasy fan, you should definitely check it out.
You can go ahead and download this fan demake from this link.
If you are into demakes, I also suggest taking a look at the following ones. Back in June 2022, 64 Bits shared a 16-bit SNES demake video for Elden Ring. And let’s not forget this cool SNES demake for Warframe. Then, in August 2023, we shared a 32-bit demake for Tomb Raider: Legend. A few days ago, we also shared a NEO-GEO/Arcade Demake video for Helldivers 2. You can also find demake videos for Cyberpunk 2077, Resident Evil 5, The Witcher 3, and Resident Evil 4.
You can also download some other free fan demakes. For instance, there is an amazing Portal Demake for N64 you can try. Then we have this Quake 4 in Quake 1 Demake. Dead Space and Resident Evil 4 also received cool PSX Demakes, so be sure to download them from here and here. Let’s also not forget this 16-bit demake of Mega Man X8. Finally, you can download this Silent Hills P.T. Demake in GZDoom. All of them are cool, so be sure to get them. But sadly, the demake of Bloodborne is no longer available for download.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
