The first three ‘Final Fantasy’ pixel remasters arrive on July 28th

In three weeks’ time, you’ll be able to start playing the pixel remaster versions of the first three Final Fantasy games. Square Enix has revealed that the Final Fantasy, Final Fantasy II and Final Fantasy III remasters are coming out on July 28th for PC via Steam and on July 29th for Android and iOS. You can now also pre-purchase the games individually for prices between $12 and $18, or buy the bundle with all six games for around $96. You’ll get three soundtracks and two unique wallpapers for each title you pre-purchase. The gaming giant doesn’t have a specific release date for the fourth to sixth installments in the franchise yet, but they’re also scheduled to come out sometime this year.

The games that inspired a generation come to life once more.

Square Enix first announced that it’s giving the first six games in the Final Fantasy franchise the pixel remaster treatment during its E3 presentation back in mid-June, though it barely shared any details about them. In the description box of the first installment on Steam, it says the game will feature completely new graphics, as well as “improved ease of play” with a modernized UI and auto-battle options. Its soundtrack has been rearranged, but the process was overseen by original composer Nobuo Uematsu. In addition, it will come with extra features, such as a bestiary, an illustration gallery and a music player.

While the other three games getting a remaster don’t have a release date yet, Square Enix recently announced it’s pulling the current versions of the fifth and sixth installments from Steam on July 27th. The developer received a lot of flak for reducing the quality of the art on the games it originally released on Steam, so it makes sense for the remasters to completely replace them.
