Following its release on PC and mobile last year, the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series is coming to PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch on April 19th.
Experience the first six Final Fantasy games once more, lovingly updated with gorgeous but faithful 2D pixel art.
They’ll feature a host of new and improved gameplay features including modernised UI, auto-battle options and an updated sound track by original composer Nobuo Uematsu.
Some optional features include:
-
Change soundtracks: The Pixel Remaster series features utterly superb new orchestral arrangements of FINAL FANTASY I – VI’s soundtracks. However, we know some of you may want to recreate the original experience of playing these games, so you’ll be able to switch between the original and rearranged soundtracks.
-
Change fonts: The console release of FINAL FANTASY I – VI gives you the option to switch between two different fonts: the default font and a new pixel-based font that recreates the feel of the original games.
-
Turn off random encounters: Sometimes you just want to explore in peace, so a feature in the Pixel Remaster games lets you turn off random encounters completely. This means you can roam the world without being harassed by monsters. That also means you won’t get stronger, so be careful how you use it…
-
Adjust experience: Speaking of getting stronger, want to speed things up a little? Boost features let you adjust the experience gained by up to four times. Perfect if you want an easier run through the games.
Anyone who’s played these games in the past will tell you that they suffer from the need to grind, having to spend hours and hours fighting random battles to gain the experience needed to level up.
These new QOL features will ease that burden and allow players to enjoy the gameplay and story without having to worry about being under-levelled.
The six games can be bought separately or as a collection, from the PlayStation and Nintendo digital storefronts on April 19th.
If you’ve never played FFVI before… Do yourself a favour.
