Gamers who were not able to purchase the physical versions of theFinal Fantasy Pixel Remasterwill no longer be able to pay fair prices for it. The product is no longer available on the official website, and it needs to be acquired from scalpers while Square Enix does not offer more units of theFinal Fantasyremakes officially.Ever since the announcement of theconsole versions of theFinal Fantasy Pixel Remasters, their release has been eagerly awaited by fans who own a PS4 or a Switch. These remasters of the first sixFinal Fantasygames come with improved graphics, music, and new fonts, and were previously only available for PC and mobile. That changed this week, but players who were planning to get their hands on physical versions of these titles may be disappointed.RELATED:Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Trophies RevealedUnfortunately,the console release of theFinal Fantasy Pixel Remastersis facing a shortage of physical editions, which are fetching absurd prices online. The reason for that is that Square Enix made a limited number of physical editions and, asFinal Fantasyis its most famous franchise, it sold out very quickly. As spotted by Wario64, it’s no longer possible to get these products in the Square Enix store, and there are only a few copies still being sold in Asia, which will probably not last for long, either.
When looking at eBay, it’s not hard to find crazy prices. The standard edition, which comes only with the games and should cost $75 is currently being sold for over $300. Gamers who want the Anniversary Edition, which comes with vinyl, artbooks, and a few figures, and was supposed to be selling for $250, may find it on the website for as high as $1,200. Fortunately, players can still access the game digitally, so they won’t need to pay these ridiculous prices unless they are avid collectors, but it’s still bad news for people clamoring for a physical PS4 andSwitch release of these classicFinal Fantasytitles.
Final Fantasyfans who are eager to try other remasters apart from these should know that an important game insiderclaimed theFinal Fantasy Tacticsremakewas coming recently. This is one of the most awaited remakes for tactics fans and, while Jason Schreier didn’t talk too much about it, he seemed to corroborate the rumors that the game may be in development and will be released eventually.
Final Fantasy Pixel Remasteris available now for Android, iOS, PC, PS4, and Switch.
