If you want to play through the first sixFinal Fantasygames, the original run of titles before the series went 3D, then not only can you do so on modern platforms, but you’re able to do it by buying a single collection that includes all six games. The only problem is if you want to own a physical copy of the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster collection, you were previously out of luck.Square Enixreleased a physical version of the collection exclusively on its own store, but it sold out almost immediately.
Square has decided not only is it going to give Final Fantasy fans a second chance to buy their own physical copy of the Pixel Remaster, but it is releasing the second wave through multiple retailers, hopefully ensuring everyone who wants a copy will get one. Not only that, but this updated version of the game, which will be released on June 09, 2025, and is available to pre-order now, is an Anniversary Edition. The special edition comes with a sticker sheet and includes some in-game tweaks.
The Anniversary Edition has been announced forPlayStationandNintendo Switch. Still no love forXboxas the platform’s relationship with the Final Fantasy series remains a complicated one.Final Fantasy 7 RemakeandRebirthremain PlayStation exclusives, as doesFinal Fantasy 16, at least when it comes to console. The door between Final Fantasy and Xbox isn’t shut though asFinal Fantasy 14finally made its way onto the platform this year, just in time for Dawntrail.
Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster - Anniversary Edition
WHERE TO PLAY
Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster is a remastered collection of the first six games in the Final Fantasy series. Its Anniversary Edition includes a sticker sheet and various other tweaks and features that weren’t included in the original games nor the original release of the Pixel Remaster collection.
Additional Content
Pixel Remaster players can customize their experience with the games in several ways. You can switch between the original soundtracks, playing as Square originally intended, or the re-arranged music made to match the polished look of the six games. You can also switch between a standard font or a pixel-based one. The font in the Pixel Remaster collection was a big point of contention and the option to change itwas added when the games came to PlayStation and Switch. You can also disable random encounters for a smoother playthrough.
Square choosing now, or more specifically October 8, to release the Anniversary Edition of the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster makes a lot of sense. After a very busy period for Final Fantasy between Rebirth, Dawntrail, and 16, there’s now nothing big announced for the series in the immediate future. This Anniversary Edition will fill a gap, and perhaps we’ll know what’s coming next in the Final Fantasy series by early 2025.
