What to expect from the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster?

Since its earliest release, the games in the Final Fantasy franchise have been fairly successful over the years. The developers have experimented with the ideas, visuals, and sound, like photorealistic character models, full-motion videos (FMVs), and sound designing by Nobuo Uematsu. The franchise has gained popularity for its role-playing games, even in countries outside Japan.

Final Fantasy fans will be excited to see the games from 1980s and 1990s making a return. It seems the developers intend to preserve the original games' art style. Playing in pixelated incarnations can be a bit challenging in this era. Final Fantasy V and Final Fantasy VI replaced the pixelated original art style. Fans are looking forward to experiencing the changes in style in the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster.

The games will launch on Steam and mobile, but no information regarding a possible console port has been announced yet. Nevertheless, the return of the old school original Final Fantasy games is something fans are looking forward to.
