Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster coming to PS4 in Spring of 2023

Update

It's official.

 

Seems you can only get a physical copy if you buy the collectors edition. The standard physical edition is $75.

Final Fantasy I to VI have been rated individually for PS4 & Switch, but they've been rated all at once so this has go to be for the Pixel Remasters. Also worth noting that the titles were rated individually for PC as part of the Pixel Remasters collection.

 

There's an anniversary program running from the 13th to the 18th. It'd be around then we should expect an official announcement at the earliest. If it isn't announced at the end of the anniversary stream, then I'd say the announcement should happen at the first Nintendo Direct/State of Play of 2023.

 

The titles getting rated individually could also mean that each game will get its own trophy list, similar to how each game has its own achievement list on Steam.

 

The most important thing though is that collection is finally coming to consoles.

This would be a dream come true. Hoping for some sort of physical release, preferably a collector's edition.

[Taliesin_2943 961]

Hopefully not too far out

[CaptainMonkster 178]

About time! @Rebourne07 I bet you're happy with this

[Zephrese 1,000]

Been a long time coming, thank god it's finally happening. lmao

[fbdbh 1,386]

I hope all six game logos will be only the white background + title and that's it.

[PraiseTheFluppi 624]

Hell yeah, finally! 👌

[NorthPaul93 1,097]

Awesome news! Can't wait to play them.

[Alayaes 462]

For the love of all that is holy, please make it 6 independent trophy lists with a platinum trophy for each. Just copy the achievement list over from the Steam versions; I'll settle for those.

 

Regardless, I've been waiting on this since its release in 2020/2021. I just figured that Square's usual bullshit excuses were at play with the whole "if there's demand we'll port it to consoles" nonsense. I never thought they would port while secretly holding out a glimmer of hope. Anything after FF12 has been dogshit for me so I have to cling to my good old days.

 

Hopefully, they changed the font and applied all the patches since the release. I'll even play the less-than-stellar FF2 if this is true.

If they do that, you would literally be able to Platinum the entire series on PS4 and PS3 (excluding upcoming FFXVI on PS5). That would take literal years to do them all.

I can't speak on FF14 because I don't have time to invest in an MMO, and I didn't care for 15 so I wouldn't know how long that would take to 100%. FF13 would take me 10 years because that's how long I'd need between therapy sessions.

 

But the rest honestly wouldn't take that long. It'll still be quite a chore, but nothing out of the ordinary. The pixel remaster lists on Steam aren't bad at all and a lot of QoL improvements help with completing it. I think it only took me two days to finish FF1, and that's with a very busy schedule. Granted, I've played these games for years, but still.

 

7+8 are relatively fast. 9 can be tricky. 10 takes a good 100 hours but it's worth it. I love 12 and it can be done in 50-60 hours as well. I hope to have all entries up until 12 done, minus spin-offs and remakes. (Type-0 can get bent)

Maybe now I can finally beat ff1 got really far on the gba version and figure out how to get past this one part in ff2. Suck ff11 is an mmo so it's going to be the only one we'll be missing now. Maybe they can find a way to make a single player version with a coop option if that's even possible or worth it.

Can you tell I'm excited?! FF 1-6, been waiting so long for those precious platinums!

 

Wait, they are gonna make them 100% games aren't they?

 

Square Enix - Let's make more money by adding a Platinum trophy as DLC.

 

Don't do it Square Enix!

[starcrunch061 10,880]

Well, I'll definitely get this one. Likely day 1. I would love to add more to my FF plat list, and these are the games I truly love.

Probably the Blood Sword. That was the answer to every one of my issues in that game.

[DrBloodmoney 25,152]

Only one thing is guaranteed in my 2023....

 

 

...I shall be performing an opera, for an octopus.

[AK-1138 6,427]

Will they be doing anything to make I, II, and III more exciting than trying to make an Excel spreadsheet charting the decline of deciduous plant life in Idaho?

 

They'll probably fuck up the only worthwhile half of the trilogy, too. I wouldn't trust them to remaster a used napkin. The rate at which Square's ceaseless suckage and lack of awareness thereof is going--bad sound quality or no--the Advance remasters will forever remain the best way to play them.

I remember seeing the announcement trailer for the Pixel Remasters and getting all excited until I saw it was just for Steam and Mobile. I am really looking forward to this. What an amazing thing to read when waking up this morning.

[D-E-U-S-X 660]

Finally!

Cast Silence and take my money Square Enix!

[s68sc 652]

YESSSS. I can platinum my 2nd Favourite FF, FF IV

i never gotten to play any games in the series other than that one with the

[Umdytr 168]

Watch it be a platinum-less list shared among all six games, in the vein of the Castlevania collections. Hopefully not.

 

Either way, I've never played the older FFs other than briefly trying out a couple, so this is good for me.

[RSmark84 29]

This is good news. Something a lot of us have been waiting for since January 2016/2017 when many like me expected a retro collection to come and the PS4.

[EmperorZetta 198]

Man, if each game has a plat I'm gonna lose my mind. In a good way.

[iXanon 1,077]

If this gets a combined trophy list, I'll be gutted.. 😒

[Beyondthegrave07 12,085]

Weirdly enough, I have a crazy itch to play through FF3 again.  Made it to Cloud of Darkness, but never could figure out how to beat her.

 

I'm also TOTALLY looking forward to FF4 and all the namingway shit. Loved FF4, but tracking him down was BS
