Thankfully, Square is already taking a step in the right direction by keeping the sprite work intact.

Now all we have to do is hope that the new pixel remasters turn out better than previous efforts. This choice from Square gets rid of the middleman and keeps things as simple as possible while hopefully providing a better product.

The move should remove potential confusion for buyers, as the upcoming remake won’t be on shelves with the old version at the same time. The mobile-ported remakes on Steam always came off as a cheap cash grab, and their technical inferiority to the new pixelated remasters will push them to the wayside come release. However, Square has given no indication that these games will launch on other platforms.While players are usually quick to disagree with a decision like this, it’s the right way to go about ushering in the new Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster collection. Naturally, there have been plenty of fans clamouring for console ports, especially for the Nintendo Switch. Right now, the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Collection has only been released on PC and mobile devices.

These versions also come with a number of improvements, making them more palatable for a new generation. Each game has had its 2D pixel graphics completely remastered with some stylistic changes, overseen by series veterans.
