This game will no longer be available for purchase after July 27, 2021. Instead, please purchase the pixelated remaster version of "FINAL FANTASY VI," coming soon.

Clicked on the splash screen notification that let me know that these were available for preorder. Proceeded to read through the description of what is being offered.

I see nothing here that justifies the shameless overpricing of these titles - and I'm a Final Fantasy (up to but not including FF8) super freak.

Looks like SE must have picked up some Betathesda people who couldn't resist going with the Skyrim model.

Messaggio originale di Raspek Da 'Blum:

They should put this back on sale for the time being in the U.S. it seems like everywhere else still gets the summer discount.

I thought they were out of the summer sale everywhere. Certainly not on sale in the EU either, would have bought now at the usual 50% off.

You're right, I misread steamdb. Last sale was in March it seems. I could wait until the 26th to see if a sale comes, but it's unlikely I would think.

I will probably buy it because FFVI, in general, warrants multiple playthroughs, and I appreciate version differences in games, so I want this version available later. I'll get the new collection too at some point.

Messaggio originale di Nuclear Kangaroo:

it seems FF3 and FF4 were spared on account of being 3D remakes, they got slapped with that label on the store page

eh, its probably for the best, from what i understand these FFV and FFVI versions are kind of ♥♥♥♥, and since they aint 3D, whats the point of keeping em?

What's the point?

Detailed enemy sprites, detailed backgrounds, additional content and dungeons, bestiary...
A lot of points.

I guess Haters of this version have spread tons of misinformation.

I only ever played a rom version of the SNES release of FF6, can someone tell me what bonus content this release has that is suspected of being wiped with the new version coming out?

Four new espers and two post game dungeons were added in the GBA version and the IOS/Steam version had them as well.

Sweet, thanks.

So, basically, we'll loose this clunky mobile port, with bad spirits, which has been partially mitigated through mods, to get a clunky, grainy old school version, with a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ font, with all of its end game content stripped away, and it will be sold for a higher price. Looks, square, I may be find with this, if it was feature complete. Maybe I'll get it after fans restore all the previous content and spruce it up, with a new version of the AWR mod. I don't mind re-buying an improved version of a game. I just want it to be actually improved, without loosing stuff

[Mr. E Meatshield]

Noticed how the new versions are more expensive than this too. Not by much, but still costs more.

Anyway, is Green Man Gaming currently the best place to buy this, V and III? It's like 10% off there right now.

The description already tells you that they cleaned up the game, revamped the menu/inventory system, and updated the music using the original composer. I forget what else.

The problem here is the price. Even if you clean it up, charging something like 20 dollars for each game is a bit much.

This is gonna be the best digital version after all. Hahahaha. Its even funny.

Messaggio originale di Lars:

So July 27th 2021 is when we get FF1 - FF6 pixel remaster combined? Or does it happen at several dates individually? But awesome news!

The Pixel Remastered versions of Final Fantasy 1, 2 and 3 will be launching on Steam on July 28th while 4, 5 and 6 will be released at a later date.

Messaggio originale di SenSx:

I sill don't understand the hype from the pixel art versions and the hatred for the android one.
I'm not a fan of pixel art, and I find the mobile sprite much smoother, on top of that we have the amazing amano portraits, and bonus content, the pixel arts versions will be bases on the original release...

I agree with everything you've said here. I first played FFVI (3) about 25 years ago and I was absolutely thrilled with how good the mobile sprites and artwork looked, especially the enemy sprites. It's bizarre to me they're downgrading the graphics and removing content and calling it the "new remastered" version.

[JellyStorm]

I can't believe that Square Enix's biggest franchise somehow got treated worse than SaGa and Mana series.

Can anyone imagine SaGa Frontier being re-released but without the cut content just to be more faithful to the original release?

Messaggio originale di NamelessNP:

They still have both versions of FF8 up two years after the remaster released though... the original version is even on sale $4 cheaper right now.

The original FF8 steam is superior, content was stripped from the "remaster". You could always mod the original FF8 to look like the remaster anyway lol.

What content was stripped??
