Final Fantasy Anniversary Collection Drops To Best Price Yet At Amazon

Final Fantasy I-VI Collection Anniversary Edition includes the Pixel Remasters of the following games:

• Final Fantasy I (NES, 1987)
• Final Fantasy II (NES, 1988)
• Final Fantasy III (Famicom, 1990)
• Final Fantasy IV (SNES, 1991)
• Final Fantasy V (SNES, 1992)
• Final Fantasy VI (SNES, 1994)

All six games received comprehensive graphical and audio overhauls for the Pixel Remaster series. Square Enix remodeled the sprites using the original pixel art as a foundation. Series composer Nobuo Uematsu supervised the creation of the rearranged soundtracks. You can also play the games with the original soundtracks, but the rearranged versions are great.

Numerous quality-of-life features were added, including quick save, customizable text fonts, experience multipliers, auto-battling, the ability to turn off random encounters, and more. You can also browse the in-game bestiary and illustration gallery as well as listen to classic tunes with a music player.

Square Enix's Pixel Remasters project debuted on PC and mobile in Summer 2021 with the three 8-bit Final Fantasy games and came to a close with Final Fantasy VI in February 2022. The collection was ported to PlayStation and Switch last year and to Xbox Series X|S in September.

The proper Final Fantasy III was exclusive to Japan until the release of the 3D remake for Nintendo DS. Long-time fans in North America may remember Final Fantasy VI, arguably the best game in the franchise, as Final Fantasy III.

The games can be played in any order, but it's really cool to see how the series evolved from the 8-bit era on the Nintendo Entertainment System to the 16-bit era of the Super Nintendo.
