So, instead of a traditional review, I’ll use this digital publishing space to discuss why I believe that every game in the series is still a five-star title, all these years and re-releases later.įirst, though, I will quickly mention that the ports are of excellent quality. On the other hand, if you’ve somehow avoided these games so far, then I’d be surprised if anything that I could ever write would convince you to actually give them a go. If you’re an existing fan, you already know if you’re going to follow me in giving Square Enix yet more money for yet another version of the same thing. There’s obviously no point in writing a standard review for this collection. With Final Fantasy, I take a break from anti-capitalism and just let myself enjoy these things.
Related reading: Stranger of Paradise is a brilliant remake and subversion of Final Fantasy 1, with a Soulslike combat system. Am I the problem? Am I part of the reason Square Enix keeps getting away with this rather cynical re-release strategy? Yes. And then I’ll buy them on the Switch too.
I already have all of these pixel remasters on my PC, and yet here I am playing them again on the PlayStation. I really wonder if there will ever be a time when I don’t leap at a re-release, remaster or remake of any of the first six Final Fantasy games.
