Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series have sold over 2 million units worldwide across all platforms

 

[Captain Toad]

Well, 12 of them were from me.

I'm curious how many times I've purchased FF4 alone. SNES, PS1, GBA, PSP, DS, Steam, Steam again, PS5. Pretty sure I'm missing one or two.

 

[Ulysses 31]

Does the recently physical collection count as 6 copies each?

333.333 thousands a title. Not bad for a NES/SNES remasters.

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

Yet Square was sure this needed a physical launch for the west only available in small quantities on their storefront alone.

 

[Heisenberg007]

Already? Tha's actually VERY nice. What a success!

 

[Imru’ al-Qays]

I'm curious what the breakdown is by title

All 6 were on Steam since Feb 2022.

 

[Elios83]

I did my part, now I have all the mainline series (except for the MMORPGs I'm not into) on a single console (PS5)

Did you at least give 14 a try?

I bought V and VI on Switch. I’ve bought these games since the 90’s. I even have a copy of XIV that I converted to Realm Reborn. The series comes and goes because it’s a great classic 2D RPG. I’m glad these pixel remasters have shed some light on their existence. All the QOL stuff needs to be implemented across all platforms.

I think some people went back to these games regardless of the grind, but the QOL improvements make them even more accessible in today’s busy society.

People often forget but these Pixel Remasters will sell like hotcakes in regions where the originals didn't have localization. Back then it wasn't common to have localization for languages like Spanish/Portuguese/Turkish and many more. So it selling this well is not that surprising, plus the easy access to a number of old titles of a long-running franchise all in one place to a whole generation of gamers (new and old) is always a wise strategy business-wise.

 

[Punished Miku]

I'll buy it for Switch one of these days. Don't need it any time soon though, but I'm glad they exist.

 

[Spukc]

I'm curious what the breakdown is by title

5 and 6

 

[diffusionx]

I really wish they would print the physical version, as an old man who grew up playing these games on cart and disc I want it physical!

 

[AngelMuffin]

Still think the PSP versions are better.

 

[cash_longfellow]

I bought the bundle on Steam and PS5

How much is the bundle?

Play-asia still has the physical version.

FF4 is my all time favorite Final Fantasy title. Will soon buy it for the PS5

 

[cash_longfellow]

How much is the bundle?

$75 I believe. Saves probably $15 or so from buying them separately. Each one is between $12-$17, so if you are honed in on one or two specific ones, you are better buying individual.

 

[RoboFu]

All together? That’s not good.

The nes games are well worth it though.

 

[cash_longfellow]

Same here. 4 (or 2 on Snes in NA) was my first ever pre order and holds a special place in my heart.

 

[Ev1L AuRoN]

There is one pending, I'm just waiting the price come down a bit. I own those games in a lot of platforms but I'm interested in a physical copy for the Switch.

 

[SCB3]

I'm waiting for the next big steam sale for them, I picked up 8 Remastered and 13 really cheap last week for Steam Deck play

 

[Umbasaborne]

I just bought 6, when i actually get around to playing and beating it, ill buy 5 when its on sale

 

[Guerilla Munch]

ok so can we pls get a FF7 pixel remaster now?

 

[RagnarokIV]

FF4 in particular is like the MGS games for me. You keep re-releasing them and I'll keep buying them.

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

I did my part, now I have all the mainline series (except for the MMORPGs I'm not into) on a single console (PS5)

That's really another great reason I wanted to get it. I'll have Final Fantasy I-XII on Switch physical carts. Don't care about XI, but to me that's pretty great.

 

[Northeastmonk]

They got to get through all those mobile ports.

 

[Nydius]

I bit the bullet and ordered the multi language Asia version from Play-Asia. Snuck in just in time for the May 22 restock so hopefully will have it by June-ish.

 

[Esca]

I've bought ff6 in pretty much every carnation it has come out as

 

[kunonabi]

Yeah, I just grabbed FFIV since I tend buy it every time it comes out. No real interest in FFV and FFVI due to censorship and some unnecessary tinkering. I might have grabbed the first 3 too but I really can't put up with the stuttering.

 

[Kacho]

People hate turn based combat!

 

[Pasta la Vista]

They really did a great job with these.
I bought 2, 5 and 6. I should have just bought the whole collection.

 

[GenericUser]

I tried the pixel remaster and it was atrocious! It's merely a cheap cash grab for 20-something zoomers or people that don't remember how the originals looked like on a crt tv. I then fired up ff6 on a snes emulator with a halfway decent crt filter and that alone is a night and day difference. I'd say stay away from these "pixel remasters" as far as you can.

 

[ByWatterson]

Oh hell yeah

 

[alf717]

Having fun with the copy I had to import. Just took down Tiamat and Warmech.

 

[Captain Toad]

Blah blah blah

That's better.

 

[Ulysses 31]

FF4 in particular is like the MGS games for me. You keep re-releasing them and I'll keep buying them.

So you should have an idea which FF4 version is the best by now?

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

I'll be getting FF5.

My body is ready.

 

[wvnative]

Smh how could you not have the wonderswan version?

 

[Quasicat]

I’m really happy they released this on Switch since now I have 1 through 12 (minus 11) all on a portable console!

 

[Captain Toad]

I have one through 15, including 11, on a portable system.
