Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series passes two million sales mark

Hip to be Square

Square Enix that its blocktastic range of releases known as the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster😼 series has now surpassed two million total sales across PC, console, and mobile platforms.

The range of classic RPGs first launched on PC and mobile platforms in the summer of 2021, drip feeding each title over the course of the following six months. The entire collection finally arrived on PlayStation and Nintendo Switch just last month, and consists of legendary releases Final Fantasy, Final Fantasy II, Final Fantasy III, Final Fantasy IV, Final Fantasy V and, you guessed it, Final Fantasy VI. The new console reports have received pr𓄧aise from both critics and fans alike.

Each release sees the games that defined a genre sharpened up for modern displays, while retaining the nostalgic and warmth-inducing sprites and environments of their 8-bit and 16-bit roots, overseen by original artist Kazuko Shibuya. Audio has been restored by composer Nobuo Uematsu, and a fresh run of balance tweaks and bug fixes have been made to the releases, fixing issues that have existed — in some cases — for nigh-on four decades. The console editions of the games include the option to switch to each title’s classic soundtrack, as well as utilize an easier-on-the-eyes “pixel font”.

The Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster seไries is available now on PC, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and iOS and Android pಌlatforms.
