Taking to Twitter, Square Enix recently announced that Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster has now sold over 5 million units worldwide across all platforms. That’s up from 3 million units sold as of September last year. Interestingly enough, the remaster collection released for Xbox Series X/S at the end of that month, so presumably, it has performed well on Microsoft’s platform, having seen an additional 2 million sales since then- though of course, it will have continued to sell on other platforms as well.

Meanwhile, Square Enix has also revealed that the Final Fantasy series has collectively sold over 200 million units worldwide.

Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster is available on Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Nintendo Switch, PC, iOS, and Android.

Final Fantasy 1 and 2 cost $11.99, while the remaining titles retail for $17.99, though each is also on sale. Each remaster features updated pixel sprites and visuals alongside a “modern” user interface with different fonts (including the classic style). New features like auto-battle, turning off random battles, increasing XP gain, and more are also available.

There’s even an optional rearranged soundtrack (complete with a music player), a Beastiary for checking out all the enemies, and a gallery for viewing illustrations. Of course, each remaster has some interesting self-contained features, like Final Fantasy 6’s revamped Opera Scene.

Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster is also available for PS4, PC, iOS, and Android. It’s sold over three million copies.

Journalist Jez Corden recently claimed on the Xbox Two podcast that “the whole slate” of Final Fantasy titles is set to come to Xbox Series X/S- specifically, Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Final Fantasy 16, and Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster.

Since then, however, others have offered somewhat conflicting details. On ResetEra, prominent leaker NateTheHate has corroborated that Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster and Final Fantasy 16 are indeed coming to Xbox, with the former being the more immediate release”, and that support is planned to “extend beyond just Final Fantasy stuff”.

The leaker did not, however, mention the Final Fantasy 7 Remake series, while VG247’s Alex Donaldson has also claimed on the forum that based on what he’s heard, Xbox versions of Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Rebirth aren’t currently in development.

Final Fantasy 16 producer Naoki Yoshida has previously suggested that after its upcoming PC release, Final Fantasy 16 will also come to Xbox Series X/S, which multiple leaks have also claimed. How soon after that the company will bring Remake and Rebirth to Microsoft’s consoles remains to be seen, but for now, it doesn’t look like that’s something that’s being actively worked on. Either way, Xbox players do have Final Fantasy content to look forward to, so there’s that.

These include assistance features for increasing the amount of EXP or Gil earned, turning off enemy encounters and a BGM Source option for selecting between a track’s special arrangement or the original tune. If that weren’t enough, you can choose between the remasters’ Modern font or the Classic font from the original releases.

Other worthwhile options include switching the default movement speed from walking to running, pausing the menu during exploration and combat to change controls, and more. Players can also fight against any monster from the Bestiary (based on your most recent save). Adjustments have also been made to the graphics and sound effects. Check out the full patch notes below.

Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster consists of remasters for Final Fantasy 1 to 6. It’s available for PC, PS4, Nintendo Switch, iOS and Android, with three million copies sold as of September 2023.

Ver. 1.1.0 Update Content

Updates have been made to add new features to the game.

Major new features

• Assistance features have been added to the config. menu. These new features open up a wide variety of gameplay possibilities. They offer options such as applying a x0 to x4 modifier to the amount of EXP or gil obtained or turning enemy encounters off.
  > It is now possible to use holding down the right stick or the F3 key as a shortcut command for switching between encounters
• A “BGM source” option has been added to the config screen. This allows you to select between the special “arrangement” BGM made for this version of the game or the “original” versions in the style of the original game. In addition, both versions of the music can be listened to from the sound player.
• A “Font type” option has been added to the config screen. This allows you to select between the “modern” font made for this version of the game or the “classic” font in the style of the original game.

Additions and alterations to game menus

• It is now possible to load saved data from the menu screen.
• It is now possible to open the pause menu while travelling or during battle. You can also return to the title screen or check control settings from the pause menu.
  An option to switch movement speeds has been added to the config. screen. This allows you to switch
• the default movement speed from walking to running. Holding down the cancel button while moving will move characters at the other speed not set as the default.
  > It is also possible to switch between movements speeds using the F1 key or holding down the left stick as a short cut.
• It is now possible to view the monster bestiary from the in-game config menu
• It is now possible to select to fight against a monster of your choice from the monster bestiary on the title screen. The game progress from the most recent save data will be applied to decide what monsters the player can select. (It is not possible to select to fight monsters from the monster bestiary on the config. screen)
• A “config.” option has been added to the title menu. Most of the same settings that can be changed in-game can also be changed from here.

Other changes and adjustments

• The “auto” icon is no longer shown on the battle screen as standard.
• It is now possible to skip scenes during the ending.
• Some changes and adjustments have been made to game graphics.
• Some changes and adjustments have been made to sound effects.
• Several bugs have been fixed.

How the sales break down per game is unknown, but considering its last milestone was May 2023, with over two million copies sold, this is pretty good growth. Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster consists of remasters for Final Fantasy 1 to 6, with updated sprites, a rearranged soundtrack (with the original still available) and a new pixel font in addition to the old one.

You can also turn off random battles and increase the XP gain, making it easier to focus on the story. Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster retails for $74.99, but you can pick up the first two games for $11.99 each and Final Fantasy 3-6 for $17.99 each. Such is the success of the collection that Square is “considering” ideas for other Pixel Remasters in the future, though nothing has been announced yet.

A victory fanfare awaits!

Recently during a Q&A session with shareholders (via VGC) when asked if Square Enix had plans for more pixel remasters after Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster’s success (with Xenogears in particular being named as an example by the person asking the question), a member of the company’s board said that while there were no specific details announced yet, Square Enix is “considering various ideas” on that front.

“We will refrain from sharing information about new titles, but we are considering various ideas within the company and hope that you will look forward to forthcoming announcements,” the board member said.

There will, of course, be no shortage of beloved older titles in Square Enix’s library of games that fans would love to see modernizations of, and with the company investing so heavily in both remasters and HD-2D remakes, there’s a good chance that several will be seeing the light of day in the coming years. Or one would hpe, at least.

In May, Square Enix announced that Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster had sold over 2 millon units worldwide across all platforms. Read more on that through here.

As the name indicates, Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster consists of remasters for Final Fantasy 1 to 6. It includes revamped visuals that stick close to the originals’ sprites, a rearranged orchestral soundtrack, options for turning off random battles and increasing XP earned, and more. There’s also a new pixel font, though the old one is still available.

Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster recently launched for PS4 and Nintendo Switch, but again, Square Enix didn’t reveal how much these versions sold. Each title is available separately, with Final Fantasy 1 and 2 costing $11.99 each, while Final Fantasy 3-6 costs $17.99 each. The entire collection is also available for $74.99 as a bundle.

In addition to higher-quality sprites, the Pixel Remaster series features rearranged orchestral tracks and a new pixel-based font. You also have quality-of-life features like turning off random encounters, increasing the amount of XP earned and much more. Final Fantasy 6 also has enhanced visuals for its classic Opera scene and vocals available in English, Spanish, Korean, French and more.

Along with PS4 and Nintendo Switch, Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster is available on iOS, Android and PC. If you’re a PC gamer, you can pick up the bundle on Steam at 20 percent off. Not a bad price to experience all six classic RPGs.

In Los Angeles, it’s available at 8 AM PDT, while New York gains access at 11 AM EDT. It goes live at 4 PM BST in London and 11 PM HKT in Hong Kong. Tokyo gains access to it at midnight on April 20th, while Australia and New Zealand must wait until 1 AM AEST and 2 AM NZST tomorrow.

Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster consists of remasters for Final Fantasy 1 to 6, complete with a new font, quality-of-life features like no random encounters, and a rearranged orchestral soundtrack. The first two games cost $11.99, while Final Fantasy 3, 4, 5 and 6 cost $17.99 each. You can also pick up all six games for $74.99.

Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster, i.e. the whole collection altogether, will require 5.7 GB of free storage space, which is pretty modest (unsurprisingly), while storage requirements for each individual game are even less demanding, with Final Fantasy 2 being the smallest of the lot and Final Fantasy 6 the biggest.

Final Fantasy 1 will require 612 MB, Final Fantasy 2 will require 601 MB, Final Fantasy 3 and 4 will both require 734 MB each, Final Fantasy 5 will require 974 MB, and Final Fantasy 6 will require 1.3 GB.

Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster is releasing for Nintendo Switch and PS4 on April 19. It is also available on PC, iOS, and Android. If you’re waiting for it to eventually also release for Xbox, based on recent developments, we’d advice you to not hold your breath.
