I played these games to death on GBA (except 3, which never got a GBA port for some reason and I never got around to obtaining the DS version), but never finished any of them. It's going to be so great being able to play through them again, and on the same console as so many of my other favorite games. 5 and 6 were my favorites, and I'm going to enjoy playing them again the most. And this will give me an excuse to finally start playing 7-9, which have been rotting in my Switch's digital library for years. I hope to play X-X2 someday too, but it'll have to be after a 1.5TB or 2TB microSD card can be bought.

Great characters caught up in a melodramatic story. Challenging enough, and you figure out new things about the enemies weaknesses while not feeling entirely linear.

I love what they did to the visuals and especially music, but I'm disappointed they didn't go far enough with the gameplay. They were purist to a fault there. An example is FF4. The remake on the DS masterfully overhauled everything about the game, added more roleplaying party customization aspects that 4 lacked, reworked and fixed all the plethora of useless skills and commands the game had, and overall made it a MUCH more challenging and engaging game, it's by far the best version of FF4. Here they go back to the roots in terms of visuals which is nice, but in terms of gameplay that's not that nice at all. FF4 on the DS (and the Steam port if played on "hard mode") just slaps every other version. They did improve FF2 which sorely needed it, but then for something like FF6 you have fan-made gameplay overhauls like Brave New World and T-Edition which improve the gameplay a lot too, and I'd rather play those over the pixel remaster of 6. Basically I enjoyed the remaster efforts but I wish they were more ambitious with rebalancing and reworking the games.

I pre-ordered the collector's edition from the Square Enix store, and I'm anxiously awaiting for it to arrive!

Never played. Where should I start on the pixel versions ?!

I agree with you guys on the price being on the high side. However, I'm not really surprised, as I attribute it to the fact SE has had flop after flop after flop in the last year or so. They've shutdown a lot of live service games, and they know people will buy this (I know I am despite not liking the price.), people love these games. Easy money, and they need a success.

I agree it’s a bit on the high side, if it were the Game Boy Advance versions with all the extra content I wouldn’t of mind paying the $75 for them all.

Great video. Can't wait to play them all. That being said. With this coming out and Tactics Ogre remake. I REFUSE TO BELIEVE that FFT: WotL isn't getting a remake using the same engine as Octopath / Bravely. Just announce it already.

This was a quite pleasant duo review. The last one I saw was a bit chaotic and all over the place. Definitely an improvement! With that said, I might just buy FFVI in the future, since it's so highly regarded by fans. It's a shame they didn't go the HD-2D route.

Ive never played final fantasy. Would this be a good game to start the series with?

I love all these games. I’ve played all of them at least once. And although I agree that the value/hour is high…. I don’t plan to pay $70+ for the collection. That is too high. I would love a physical of this as well. Too bad.

FF6 was probably the biggest influence on my young gaming experience. I love that game so much. All the characters are so well written and have a lot of depth to them. Having said that I agree. The pricing is off. $17 for one game, $74 for all of them... just seems like a lot...

I just don’t understand why they couldn’t just give us the Gameboy Advance versions of these games. FF 6 is still the best Final Fantasy Game in the series. This bundle is still good, but could of been better if it was the Gameboy Advance versions with the extra content included.

While I really want to pick these up I'll be honest with Tears of the Kingdom out in just a couple of weeks I will probably not get to them for a while and because I have already played through all of them in some form previously the price for the whole collection seems a bit too steep for me.

Any game releasing around Zelda, especially RPG or open world (time investments), need to re-examine their marketing approach.

Patch an update toggle to remove the constant auto-battle icon when not in use during battles and it's 100% perfection.

I know Lunar Silver Star Story has nothing to do with Square Enix but that game and its sequel would easily get my money were they remastered. Loved those rpgs.
@thomasbryans65473 ай бұрын
I’m definitely late with this, but it seems tough to justify paying so much when the older games are free to emulate. Even so, I still find myself thinking the physical may be worth picking up on a deep sale if it ever comes up for the nostalgia

Im in the middle of saving up for a game (Megaman Battle Network) but so many good ones are coming out one after another! My decision making is being tested hard!
