“Final Fantasy” gamers and fans, there are more reasons to rejoice now. Square Enix, the company behind popular role-playing games like “Final Fantasy” and “Dragon Quest,” has announced it will release the “Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster” game series for PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch. How exciting is that? Read on.
Aside from this announcement, the official Twitter of @FinalFantasy also tweeted, “The Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series is coming to Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4. Experience these classics individually or as a bundle when they launch digitally in Spring 2023.”
So there you have it, it is launching in the spring of 2023, and fans can purchase the games individually or as a bundle.
However, the “Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster” is not new. It was already launched last year for PC and mobile devices. Now, it seems it is making its way to gaming consoles.
Square Enix did not give a specific release date. Instead, it gave spring 2023 as the release window. But surely, we are going to find out soon, perhaps. Having springtime said, gamers can get it between late March to late June.
The “Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster” will include the same games. That is, all “Final Fantasy” games from one to six, otherwise known as I to VI, are part of the Pixel Remaster.
Here is the good news. Players can already pre-order to physical game collection on the Square Enix store.
If you are willing to spend and invest more, then you can instead obtain the Final Fantasy I to VI Pixel Remaster -FF35th- Anniversary Edition. Aside from the games, this edition also has various limited-edition collector items.
It includes the game package for the six games, a Goods Box that has a two-disk Picture Vinyl Record Set with a download code for the MP3 version, a 128-page hardcover pixel artbook with art from all the six games, and Pixel Figurines of characters from the six games.
Moreover, both the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch versions also include a Lenticular Sleeve for the game container.
It is strongly advised that you start with the Pixel Remaster and do not buy the Anniversary edition yet unless you are totally sure that you will like the game. But of course, you can always buy the latter if you have the means.
Previously, Square Enix released the “Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster” game series for Steam and mobile devices. The games are two-dimensional remasters of the franchise’s first six main numbered titles.
