PSA: Square Enix will start charging for the FF Pixel Remaster Anniversary Edition on April 5th
- Thread starter AlexFlame116
- Start date
This is so weird. I didn't even know you could pre-order at this time. Was there a trailer or announcement?
Because they want to announce the release date at the anniversary stream where they announce FF9 remake, Tales of Ivalice: war of the lions, FF Versis XV, FFXIII -Trilogies of cocoon-, FFXVI-2 and World of Final Fantasy XI. This leaked months ago.
Already paid mine off, now to continue to play the waiting game.
No; they literally dropped an announcement and then being able to preorder in the dead of night like 2 months ago.(it was around 1am eastern time U.S.)

I'm more worried they're going to release them early June and just let them get completely steamrolled by FF16.
Still utterly baffled by every step of the release for these things. It's a gift that's been giving for almost two years now.
Still hardcore pissed I couldn't grab the standard ps4. I grew up with ff1 on nes and 2/3 on snes.
I would love for Square Enix to be charging me next week.
Instead VGP is taking my money and I'll be getting a non-US version of the game.
Funny thing, if I could reasonably trade versions I probably would…

Same. I want one of these so damn bad, but I really can't justify what I imagine the huge mark up is going to be from resellers.
Square Enix badly underestimates how much people want to play these old games. I think they're going to be really surprised at how well they sell when they launch properly.
Yeah of course there is, we just don't have a date for it yet. But it's looking like April/May
Ahhhh ok, thanks, I just misunderstood some posts that made it sound like it was ONLY that limited physical release.
I don't think it's that. They know the games will sell, but they have a firmly established history of spreading the release dates between platforms like this (I'll be crying in PC when XVI releases this summer). Presumably it increases sales over time with double-dipping? And I think it's equally telling that the Pixel Remasters aren't launching on Xbox yet. I assume, same with 7R, they're waiting on that Game Pass deal.
Square are clearly a big enough and capable enough company to handle simultaneous platform releases without all this ambiguity and confusion when they want to. They're specifically choosing not to, fairly consistently, and presumably the reason is money.
Even that is odd, it's not like the collection is a secret. It's been out on pc for a year or so :D
I'll wait until the digital versions release before considering buying these. Given how poorly they run on PC, and how they have handled mainline Final Fantasy ports in the past, I don't have a lot of confidence in Square Enix.
From what I understand, this is how preorders from the Square-Enix store always work. It's an absurd model.
They really fucked up this physical release. Pre-orders should have adopted an LGR approach - open orders for a set amount of time and then close them off. Or just don't limit the fucking physical release.
