FINAL FANTASY IV

 
At long last, the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series on PC gets classic font and music optionsJan 31, 2024 - Rock, Paper, ShotgunWhen Square Enix announced the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster collection for Final Fantasies 1 through 6 back in 2021, I was overjoyed. For too long had PC folks had to 'make do' with the quite nasty mobile ports of these games, and the Pixel Remasters looked set to finally rectify that with proper versions replete with their original artwork. But one thing was missing. Well, several things were missing it turns out, but chief among them were, of course, its damn fonts - a point of contention that's plagued many a Square Enix PC port in recent years, and one that fans quickly set about trying to fix with mods. Extra salt was then added to the wound when Square Enix said that last year's Switch and PS4 versions of the Pixel Remaster series would have two different font options straight out of the box - and it's only now that the PC versions have finally caught up. Read more It looks like the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters are finally coming to consolesDec 12, 2022 - VG247It looks like the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters are finally coming to consoles, after being exclusive to Steam for a year. You would think that some simple remasters of the first six Final Fantasy games would be a shoo-in for at the very least a Nintendo Switch release. That would be a good business decision from Square Enix, but this is also the company that is insisting on pushing forward with blockchain nonsense, so who's to say what the right call is. Fortunately for us though, it seems to have acquired some sense after all, as it looks like PS4 and Switch versions of the remasters are on the way. As spotted by deals wizard and news aggregator Wario64, all six of the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters have been rated for PS4 and Switch by the ESRB. Obviously this hasn't been officially revealed by Square Enix just yet, but ratings board leaking game announcements ahead of time is pretty common.

It follows the release of the pixel remasters of I-III in July, with V and VI both due in the near future. It's also arguably the first Final Fantasy to resemble what the series would become, in terms of characters and its battle system. Read more Final Fantasy IV's pixel remaster version lands on PC in SeptemberAug 25, 2021 - Rock, Paper, ShotgunIn July, Square Enix tossed out those old mobile port versions of the classic Final Fantasy games that us PC folks have been playing and have started replacing them with fancier remasters. Fantasies Final I-III arrived in their Pixel Remaster versions at the end of July. The next party of adventurers is queued to head out next month, also with those modern niceties like new character pixel art, new menu designs, and an auto-battle function. You'll be able to snag the adventurs of Kain and Cecil and company on September 8th when Final Fantasy IV's remastered version arrives. Read more Final Fantasy 4's pixel remaster is out next monthAug 25, 2021 - PCGamesNYou'll soon be able to add Final Fantasy 4 to your collection of pixel remasters if you fancy it. Square Enix has revealed that the classic RPG game's pixel makeover is hitting Steam on September 8, just two weeks away. Final Fantasy 4's pixel remaster comes with updated 2D pixel graphics that have been redrawn with modern hardware in mind - they've even been created by the original artist, Kazuko Shibuya. We've also got rearranged soundtracks, improved gameplay with updated controller controls, and modernized UI. That's not it, either, as there are heaps of quality-of-life improvements, including additional extras like the bestiary illustration gallery, music player, and the ability to save at any time, which is particularly handy. Final Fantasy 4 sees the Kingdom of Baron send out its elite airship fleet, the Red Wings, to attack the surrounding countries if you need a wee refresher. The captain of that fleet, a dark knight named Cecil, becomes distressed by the task and decides to take up arms against the Baron with his paramour at his side. To accomplish such a feat, you scour the lands for crystals and meet oodles of pals along the way to help you accomplish your goal. Read the rest of the story...

It was the first Final Fantasy game he was involved with from the very beginning, he explains, so he's able to share some neat details on how the game's design evolved. He chats about character designs, romance plots, and the unlikely inspiration for the first ATB battle system that somehow came from watching F1 races.

Since these are the ugly mobile ports, I think it's safe to say they won't be missed, though. Both Steam pages for Final Fantasy 5 and 6 have been updated with disclaimers that they'll "no longer be available for purchase after July 27th 2021". They then say you should buy the remastered versions instead which are "coming soon".

During their E3 showcase today, Squeenix announced a "Pixel Remaster" series of Final Fantasies I through VI.
