Final Fantasy I-VI Collection Anniversary Edition Is Up for Preorder
It took a while, but you can finally preorder the Final Fantasy Pixel Remastered games physical form. Final Fantasy I-VI Collection Anniversary Edition is set to release October 8 for Switch and PS4 (don’t worry, you can play the PS4 version on PS5 just fine). It costs a hefty $74.99, but it does collect souped-up versions of the first six mainline Final Fantasy games. It also comes with a sticker sheet, so that’s something.

What’s Included in Final Fantasy I-VI Collection?
The collection contains the pixel remasters of the first six Final Fantasy games. Rather than doing a major artistic revamp like Square Enix has done for some of these games in the past, the art in these editions is tastefully updated to look good on modern displays. It retains the pixelated look, but it’s visually cleaner, and it looks great whether you’re playing on a giant TV or in handheld mode.
The soundtracks have gotten orchestral upgrades, with the new versions overseen by the original composer Nobuo Uematsu. They’ve also ironed out some of the quirks of the originals and rebalanced the difficulty and added quality-of-life options to turn off random encounters and bump up experience and gil earned. Overall, there’s not a lot to complain about.
