Square Enix has officially launched its latest sale on the eShop, slashing prices on a boatload of fantastic RPGs.
Now, this sale technically kicked off last week, though Square has only now started to go ham on its publicity (including a wonderful ad starring Ben Starr) thanks to it finally being live on all platforms. Fortunately, you have until 25th March to make the most of the savings, so there's still plenty of time to pick up a discount or two.
According to the above trailer, there are over 200 games included in the sale across all platforms, many of which are discounted on both the North American and European eShops. We'd be here all day if we started to run down every game available in every region, but we've assembled the following table to give you a taste of the savings on offer, with the games accompanied by their GBP/USD sale price.

I'm very tempted by Dragon Quest Monsters. They first permanently reduced the price of that game and now are taking 40% off the reduced price, so it's 60% off the original price. I really enjoyed the demo.
Plus, last chance to get gold points so It's a good week to buy a game.
Nice, happy for those who don't have these titles and are interested in getting them digitally - personally, I already have most of these and the remaining ones I'd like to get physically (although I might get some of the digital-only ones I'm still missing)!
I played through both NEO The World Ends With You and Octopath over the past year, and they are both very good. I would recommend them.
Not seeing Various Daylife in this list, but it IS for sale, and let me tell you... I was pleasantly surprised!
For anyone who really liked Final Fantasy : Crystal Chronicles - My Life as a King ; You are going to like this game as well.
Disclaimer: I really love low stakes fantasy stories. This game is almost more "slice of life" than it is adventure, but that's the way I like it. This game kind of made me hope they did a remaster of FF:CC-MLaaK, but this is also a really nice game to play.
I think it also has some similarities to Miitopia, at least gameplay-wise.
all i want is to try chrono trigger, square! 😔
I'm kind of tempted to pick up Final Fantasy XII but between having an in-progress playthrough of Xenoblade 2 I need to get back to and having just bought WWE 2K25 and Luigi's Mansion 2 I'm probably going to wait, it's on sale all the time anyway.
That video could have used more Octopath Traveler.
Don't know where to say this, so I'll just put it here.
Isn't your countdown for the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct wrong by one hour? Or am I missing something?
Was hoping for a small discount on Dragon Quest III, but i guess its still too early. Theatrhythm is calling me though. Loved the demo and never got around to buying it.
Wait, Powerwash Simulator is a Square Enix game?!
May have to get Chrono Cross...
Are Cloud games still unbearable on Switch?
Some good discounts even if Square Enix has these sales a few times a year. Which is why I'm usually in no rush, but I may take advantage of gold points while there's still time.
@Hinade Clocks change end of the month, we move ahead an hour. Probably is due to that.
@FishyS I didn’t like it as much as DQ Treasures, but still think it’s an above average game. Definitely worth the double-discounted price.
@eltomo Unfortunately it's still down to the individual games and not cloud games across the board.
I had little to no noticable issues with the Kingdom Hearts cloud games (completed 2.8 and played a bunch of 3). However Hitman and Control ran absolutely terrible.
@OctolingKing13
seconded. surely they have sales data to support their decisions but my god, it feels like theres about 4 classic games that Square fans clamor for and its usually not what we get.
@XenoShaun
Thanks for mentioning. I was so confused haha.
Just got Final Fantasy 12. I had already spent in Xenoblade Chronicles X but couldn't resist getting this one too haha.
Waiting on Dragon Quest 3 Remake to go on sale.
@SGE2000 No. It still looks awful. I needed some time to get into the gameplay loop and turn a blind eye on graphics.
Maybe add the games he mentions in the video to your list? Just as an easier way to get to them.
Kinda annoyed the 4+ min long video on the BIG PUBLISHER SALE featured the DQIII remake when the game isn’t discounted. At the very least there was certainly enough runtime to allow a disclaimer in the VA’s script.
That Kingdom Heart garbage should had been cheaper than everything else. Why charge $36 for a rental Square?
So why is Dragon Quest XI S on sale on the Series X but not on Switch? Seems odd. I rather have it on Switch but I guess Nintendo dont like money.
Not trying to completely dunk on it but I'd be disappointed if I bought Harvestella full price. I gave it an honest effort for a fraction of the msrp and sold it. It wasn't bad, maybe a tad undercooked for me but no way $60
@Morsel Dragon Quest Treasures was a pleasure. Such an adorable game. I'll probably grab Monsters; I usually really enjoy Dragon Quest spinoff games.
@Poco_Lypso Dragon Quest Monsters started as $60 in 2023 and permanently dropped to $40 in late 2024. The current sale is 40% off of the $40 price, so $24.
I forgot about Legend of Mana. I'm so conflicted as I love the Mana series, but not so much past the first 3 Mana games (the first 3 were sublime for me). I've heard some say the series goes down after LoM, so I maaay just give it a shot and be done with it.
Who tf is Ben Starr, ringo’s distant cousin?
Paranormasight is a really good visual novel. A bit shorter than I excited if anything, but it legitimately creeped me out in multiple places (in a good way) and has some really fun and unique gameplay mechanics.
A company having financial issues is bold to make a high production value and for a sale! But it's great and highlights the lovely work they've done in this generation rather than just focusing on the next hot thing.
I kinda want them to release FF7 Remake Cloud Edition on Switch, just for the 🍿 of the confusion.
