has been one of the most enduring video game franchises in history. Aside from the continual installments of the main title through sequels (with a sixteenth entry coming soon), revisiting the prior titles through remakes and remasters have kept Final Fantasy in the gaming community's awareness for both old and new fans.
However, the later updated versions that became available on different platforms left fans with a bad taste. This is due to these versions looking like hastily refurbished games, lacking the polish and quality that fans have come to expect from Square Enix.
But it appears that the legendary company has taken this feedback to heart and is doing a proper iteration of the 6 classic Final Fantasy entries from the pixel gaming era for the current gaming generation in the form of Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster. Find out more below! Neverending Battle The first 6 Final Fantasy games are well-regarded as masterpieces and literally groundbreaking in establishing the familiar elements we now associate with the franchise. Final Fantasy brought the party system, the elemental crystals, and the iconic classes such as Black and White Mages, Black Belts, and Red Mages. Final Fantasy II introduced Chocobos. Final Fantasy III introduced the Job System. Final Fantasy IV debuted the Active Time Battle (ATB). And so on.
These classic Final Fantasy games have had remakes before. One of the earliest versions of this was the Final Fantasy Collection on the Sony Playstation 1/PSX which repackaged Final Fantasy IV, V, and VI that were only previously available on the Super Famicom as separate ports. There would also be collections such as Final Fantasy Anthology and Final Fantasy Chronicles that included one or two of these titles. Although there were complaints about the slow loading times, these ports retained much of the original versions' functions and features, albeit with additional bonus content such as art galleries and new FMV sequences.
