Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Series Reaches Over 3 Million Sales Worldwide
Square Enix announced that the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster, which contains Final Fantasy 1-6, has surpassed three mission units sold worldwide since the collection launched.
The collection was first launched through Steam, iOS, and Android back in 2021, but was then released on PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch in 2022.
Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster is currently considered the best version to revisit the classic JRPGS before titles like Final Fantasy VII and beyond. Each title retains the original 2D graphics and sound while adding new features such as a bestiary, sound player, and an illustrations gallery for those looking to appreciate each title even more.
Console versions feature a pixel font inspired by the original version of the games and a BGM switching option, giving players the option to experience these classics closer to their original form. More quality-of-life features are available such as switching off random encounters and adjusting experience gain.
The amount of effort seen here gives me hope for Capcom’s future attempts at reviving classic titles, as Onimusha: Way of the Sword, the latest title of the once dormant classic franchise, comes back in the best way possible as it very well might be my game of the year contender.
