Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Series For Switch On Sale, 20% Off Every Title & Bundle

Now that is a better price for 6 games.

Not a huge discount but I decided to grab IV for now.

"As highlighted by Nintendo Wire, Square Enix has launched a same...."

The hour is late here, but should this instead be "sale"?

Edit: Looks like it was fixed while I snoozed.

This thing was interesting. A friend likes to make fun of me for buying physical and collecting certain games, but really wanted this collection. I told them I easily found the Japanese version with English text on Play Asia, and they were like "Well, but I want the NA one. It's rare." People are weird.
I just got the Japanese release. I don't really care about the rarity. I just wanted these legendary games on a cart.

Grabbed VI. Never played this back in the day, so I'm really excited. Might play arkham asylum first though since that's much quicker then jump into this.

About time this is on sale. I might pick up 4 or 6.

still gotta do better than $60

Much as I'd like the physical copy, I just can't justify putting down 100+ euro for it and it doesn't seem to be getting any cheaper anytime soon. I may just go for this instead.

@Tasuki and play with audio blasting. That game has seriously iconic music and sound design.

I happened to see this earlier and grabbed them. Been waiting for a while on these. Looking forward to replaying these in JPN someday.

Ah, this coincides with the new updates on mobile (they added the boost options and controller compatibility there). Cool, it’s like a little crossover event between switch and mobile.

Does this sale only apply to them digitally or the physical box too? Real nice timing BTW. I just dropped the full 17.99 on FF IV a couple days ago. Figures they'd put em on sale right after. 😡

Nice, I’ll wait for a more aggressive sale.

Still considering getting the boxed version, but I might bite and get the first entry instead for a wee discount as I'm getting into streaming mostly retro games soon and this could be a good starting point.

Yeah I'll pick up FFVI HD-2D remake whenever they finally realize that's what they should be doing.

i paid $109 for a physical copy months ago and have enjoyed the games...

This was huge news for me. It's been on my wishlist ever since it came out over a year ago. I've been waiting for a sale and all the other Final Fantasy games have went on sale, but never the pixel remasters. Everyone at home can finally rest their ears from my whining about not owning the pixel remasters lol!

Is SE going to update FF6 like they just did on PC?
For example, the new esper bonus

Might consider at 50%. There's really so little these have to offer over the originals and various portable ports.

I'm interested, but I think I'll wait for a bigger sale. Plenty of backlog to work on for now.

Nope. I need at least 50% off to get these, and I'm absolutely fine waiting. I'd like to play these in the distant future when I've forgotten more about them!

I bought every one of these 6 games originally, and I've bought them all at least 2 more times each since across various platforms (Vita, DS, Switch). So I don't feel even an ounce of guilt waiting for a deeper sale!

I'm actually really enjoying waiting... and I know I'll enjoy these more by playing them in a few years time!

Personally, I'm waiting to see if these will be playable on Switch 2. Avoiding digital Switch 1 purchases until we know more.

@nocdaes I played FF4 last year after probably 13-14 years (played it a good bit from release thru 00's), was a blast

Being the usual full price after a sale doesn't sit right with me.

I already have Final Fantasy II, VII, VIII, and IX from a year ago.

Wouldnt mind getting Final Fantasy IV Pixel though since i used to have the game for the Chronicles collection for the original Playstation

@Tasuki definitely will. I'm not ashamed about doing that to avoid time wasting.

I just have VI downloaded which is good playthrough IMO. I loved VI Advance back in the day. III, IV and V on the wishlist. I may consider IV (previosuly played on DS) and V now.

I’m going for 6 today.
Even though I’m deep into the game on my Analogue Pocket and original GBA cart (it’s been lovely) I think I need to experience it with QOL updates.

@NintendoByNature You are in for an absolute treat! Final Fantasy VI, to me, is the best of the series! The game has some wonderful highs and some pretty dark lows. It really took the series into new places and explored the characters more than any game that came before it.

I will offer only this one hint: Wait for Shadow by the airship. It doesn't make sense now, but it will.

@GamingFan4Lyf sweet deal! Im trying to get through my current games so I can jump on this.

Glad I waited, I almost bought the pack last week

Question 🙋‍♂️

If you buy the bundle is it a single icon on your Switch screen? Or is it one of those bundles that still has individual launch screens?

Just curious 🤔

Ended up grabbing the bundle on mobile for $47.99. Cheaper and JRPGs control pretty well on a touch screen. Also finally getting updates to bring them in line with the console versions.

I just need Squeenix to announce the XIII trilogy. For switch.

That being said I may get a few of these.

Good time to buy V. It’s the only one of those original six I haven’t played in any format or on any system.

I got ffvi cause apparently thats the best one, never played a classic ff game before, hopefully its as good as people claim

Been eagerly waiting for this.

FF III (SNES) was the first game I bought music for. In the box was a flier for Kefka's Domain, a 3 CD set. I was completely blown away by this. The SNES music chops were so impressive. Still are even today. The music from the game really pushed what the system could do and the music composition was just top-notch. I still go back and revisit some key tracks from time to time.

From what I've read, these aren't quite the remaster approach I would have preferred. Nothing significant, but a few decisions that probably keep it from being "perfect" I think. Still, looking forward to replaying a few of these. IV obviously, but some of the combat systems of earlier games were noteworthy.

Which is the best game to get? I can only afford one of these.

@Woodyshoe FFIV

@Woodyshoe III is a good one to begin with. IV and VI and likely regarded as the best ones in the bunch though.

@RobotReptile individual launch screens

4 and 6 are great, but I really liked 1 and 5 as well. Five is super-good, and has so many ways to out-wit the enemy. Strategy really counts in that game.

I caved in and bought the whole bundle last year.

@Wisps thanks ✌️

Still holding out for a $45 sale, or at the very least 6 being under $10.

@mlt it took them this long to make the original games available for modern consoles — I wouldn't get too excited for a HD2D remake any time soon

I'm still salty over the ridiculous physical release situation, so I won't be buying these games digitally at any price.

@LikelySatan I am thinking of purchasing the Japanese one. What was the price with shipping?

So generous a discount for games over 30 years old that have been re-released 5+ times 😅

@Emacster which one did ya get?

@Eel Between iOS and switch I own 4, the after years, 7-12. I’ve played all of 1-6 though. It would be cool to own a physical copy. Some day maybe.

Still overpriced. I won't buy until it hits $40.
