This goes for mobile too (was just browsing mobile FF games and realized they’re 20% off). Yay!
I’d argue there are better ways to play all of these except maybe FFIII (Japanese FFIII, not VI)

As I said in another topic, this is the only way to play FF3 in its original form (or at least close to it) and in a language other than Japanese, outside of emulation. The DS remake is fine, but it is definitely a different experience.

I don’t like that they stripped out all of the extra content that the other releases added.

I can’t speak for the other, but in my opinion the Woolsey Uncensored version is the best way to play FFVI.

I use the Woolsey translation as part of Dancing Mad, which compiles a lot of stuff and gives you the option to use MSU1 for CD quality tracks.
I use the Synthetic Origins tracks by Matthew Valente which tries to be as close to the original as possible while using uncompressed samples.

Sale goes for iOS and Android too

The PS1 games on Android are also 50% off. Although on my device, I can’t buy them directly because it’s “not compatible”. But I can buy it on an older device, and it will be available for download.

Am I the only one who thinks those prices are still too high for 25+ year old titles? Don’t get me wrong, absolutely love the games, but this “discount” feels closer to what it should be.

Square 🤝 Nintendo
Charging 2-3x too much for games you already bought.

Original price of $10 each feels about right. They put work into the graphics, music, and bug fixes. But stripped out all the additional content of later releases.
$18 for one of these games is ludicrous. I would have preferred to just pay for the older version that they removed from the app stores.

All 6 games bundled for 30 dollar/euro would be fine.

Am I hallucinating, because there was definitely a bundle that had all 6 remasters that I got… for $50 in 2022 I wanna say? All 6 are in my library and there is no way I spent $25x6 (or whatever the price is, I know FF I and II are lower in price).

I totally agree. I recently bought on sale Final Fantasy 1 for mobile, mostly because I didn’t feel like digging out my PlayStation and putting in one of the original remastered disks. To be honest, the load times were pretty long on a kind of it being PS1.
