Square Enix announced Final Fantasy I, II, and III are coming to Steam and mobile platforms on July 28th. The pixel remaster series brings all the magic of the originals combined with quality-of-life upgrades while staying faithful to the retro design of these masterpieces. Fans can look forward to enjoying a host of updates including:
- Redrawn 2D pixel character and background graphics, featuring iconic FINAL FANTASY character pixel designs created by Kazuko Shibuya, the original artist, and current collaborator.
- Beautifully rearranged soundtracks, overseen by original composer Nobuo Uematsu.
- Improved gameplay, including controller and touch controls, modernized UI, auto-battle options, and more.
- Dive into the world of the game with supplemental extras like the bestiary, illustration gallery, music player, and the ability to save at any time.
“When working on the originals, I didn’t think that the FINAL FANTASY series would be remastered almost 35 years later. The video game industry had only just been established. So, with nobody else leading the way, we had to keep moving forward at the front line. I remember how we went through a lot of trial and error at that time. I’m very happy and grateful that Final Fantasy has continued for such a long period of time.”
“Father of FINAL FANTASY” Hironobu Sakaguchi
