If Square Enix tends to do something at every possible moment, it is to exploit nostalgia for the Final Fantasy series.
Its greatest property is once again in the spotlight, with the announcement of the premiere of a new vision of the work, Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster. A reissue that will present the first 6 games of the series, prior to its jump to 3D.
For many it is the golden age of the series, remarkably popular in gamer culture for years before the premiere of the revolutionary FFVII, whose effects we still see today.
In the case of these remasters, we are talking about six titles spanning the 8-bit to 16-bit generations, which have received a variety of remasters over time. It seems that this time they have been made again.
These versions are available in pre-purchase through the Steam platform and partially in the Android Play Store and the iOS App Store, but the audience … is not very happy.
Excess supply
The first thing that has been noted about this offer is its price. Steam places each title individually for a cost of $ 17.99 each, for a total of $ 95.94.
Valve’s platform offers the advantage of a compilation package that leaves all titles at $ 74.82, down 22% overall. This is notoriously expensive for retro games in digital format.
Even being a complete remastering of the titles, these are works massively distributed throughout the generations of available consoles and systems. Each of the games in the collection is available on Android for example.
Regarding its technical details, users took into consideration that the layout of the text is notably bad, including the style of letters used for each game. However, it is still an official offer that collectors of the saga probably will not miss.
