      This deal isn't for everyone.

      Some people like to gamble, drink alcohol, smoke etc.

      And some people like to collect games.

      To call humans stupid is a bit harsh because they are happy to pay for something that doesnt match your price point.

      Might as well call people stupid who pay for expensive fashion brand or expensive cars.

      At the end of the day it's their money and you have no right to call them stupid for spending on what they want.

      • conza on 22/02/2023 - 21:23

        Yeah this. It's a physical game, completely changes the value equation, sure you'll find the individual games cheaper (has anyone heard of emulation btw?), but this may become a sought after collectable, and even if it isn't, they still get 6 games on the Nintendo Switch so, that might be good enough value for someone anyway.

    • [Deactivated] on 22/02/2023 - 14:06

      It's a remaster of all 6 (hence "pixel remaster")

          Not "repackaged".

          Have you played them on Steam? They are worthy of the label 'Remaster', regardless of which version people personally prefer.
          Especially 6 when it uses the 2.5D Live-a-Live style in a few key moments.

          I currently am paying for the physical edition.
          I watched my friend stream it on pc.

            • [Deactivated] on 22/02/2023 - 14:41

              @Wezt: I loved these remasters.
              Watching my friend play them had me ready to give them a go, but I am trying to move away from playing games like these on my computer.
              I suggest just buying them individually as you play through them if you're not sure you'll want to buy them all.

              • Wezt on 22/02/2023 - 14:48

                @[Deactivated]: well, im thinking of buying then if i dnt like can always resell, added to my pile of might never play ever

              @Wezt: If you haven’t finished 7 (and have no desire to) it may not be worth it. I enjoyed 7 (original) to 10, but they definitely feel dated now. If you’re not invested and nostalgia isn’t a factor, 1-6 can be a hard slog through.

              • Wezt on 22/02/2023 - 14:49

                @zonra: fair enough. im not a collector but i think im slowly becoming that lol

                +3

                @zonra: In addition to Zonra's comment the only one I can recommend if you're coming backwards from 7 is 6 as it has a good story.

                Rest are a bit of a grind and if you didn't grow up with the old school JRPGs it may not suit your taste

                • Wezt on 22/02/2023 - 14:53

                  @SpeedRunnerLink: fair enough too. that is why im thinking should i get it just for teh limited edition-ness of it

                  • SpeedRunnerLink on 22/02/2023 - 15:13

                    @Wezt: It's up to you.

                    As a Switch collector your back log will only grow.

                    I can assure you will never get a chance to play it.

                    I have had 7,8,9,10,X/X2 sitting in my back log for years and never played it yet lol

                    It's just for collecting sake

                  @SpeedRunnerLink: Yeah this is what I was planning to do. I grew up with the PS1 gen JRPG's, FF7, Xenogears, Suikoden etc. so I missed the boat for the earlier FF games and for some reason never got around to to playing any of them. I've heard FF6 is the best of the bunch so I think I'll start with that one.

                  • SpeedRunnerLink on 22/02/2023 - 15:09

                    @vakarian32: The only one RPG i highly recommend you go back wards for even in its current state is Chrono Trigger.

                    It to date is still one of the most Epic JRPGs of it's time.

                    It doesnt have the beefed up graphics or cut scenes like 7 but the story and music is still iconic to this day and age.

                • justtoreply on 22/02/2023 - 15:09

                  @SpeedRunnerLink: Good to know. I only played 7 (finished, it was average) and xiii (finished, dull). So my desire to play them is so low but i wonder if I'm relatively missing anything

                  • SpeedRunnerLink on 22/02/2023 - 15:11

                    @justtoreply: Im surprised you didnt like 7.

                    Was it average because of the story or the game play style?

                    As i mentioned above maybe give Chrono trigger a go.

                    • justtoreply on 22/02/2023 - 15:14

                      @SpeedRunnerLink: I recall it as average in all aspects. Tbh I'm going to give the remake a go and see if i like it. Given I'm much older now.. I was probably in high school at the time of the original release

                      Maybe that's what I'll play after I finish the eternal cylinder

                      • SpeedRunnerLink on 22/02/2023 - 15:27

                        @justtoreply: Fair enough. Everyone has their own tastes.

                        I guess you can also look into the Dragon Quest series which is quite good too.

                        • justtoreply on 22/02/2023 - 16:34

                          @SpeedRunnerLink: Yeah i need to give dragon quest a go.

                          I quite took to the Tales games (loved symphonia and vesperia, tho I tried zestiria for a couple hours and couldn't make myself continue).

                          Ys is a bit overhyped too (played 1, 2, lacrimosa of dana) but until Dana they were aiming for something more action focused.

                          • SpeedRunnerLink on 22/02/2023 - 21:47

                            @justtoreply: Ys lacrimosa of dana was good.

                            The one after that wasn't that great.

                            I could suggest maybe giving Fire Emblem series a go.

                            But the newer ones are more tactical RPGs which is still good if you give it a chance.

              • zaprct on 01/03/2023 - 15:23

                @zonra: I'd say 6 held up the best between 1-9.

                7 runs and looks like a dog now, but you can download mods that crank up the PC port froom 20FPS to 60FPS (not sped up) with revised sounds, effects and textures, I'm playing it through on my Steam Deck like this now and loving it.

            • Lanushi on 22/02/2023 - 15:00

              @Wezt: If you mean:
              You played some of 7 but stopped playing - maybe don't bother with 1-6.

              I've only played 3, 7 & 8. I found 3 to be a little less engrossing, maybe because of the graphics. It's certainly a lot of hours to get through them all.

      No news of it yet but it's been released in the US and Europe already in regards to pre orders.

      But one good thing about the Asian releases with english language from Play asia is that their case artwork cover doesnt have the ugly G/R/M ratings on it.

      IT was like with the Final Fantasy X/X2 from Play Asia.

      It was only ever sold on Play Asia with both games on the cartridge. The western countries got only X on the cart and X2 as a once off download code.

    Personaly I won't pay that much for the Asian version.
    It's not limited quantity in Asia. It can be easliy pre-ordered from stores in Taiwan and HK.
    So the Asian version will not hold the same value as the US version.

    I brought a used switch for $150, after years of waiting for decent deal.
    I can't see why a switch game cost over $100 is a consider easonable. It's not in some sort of collector's box or limited edition package to sweeten the deal.

    will i buy it, maybe if it went on sale.

      Price has also gone up. Also should note that the PS4 version has been removed which would seem to imply it was a mistaken listing, and likely that those who did preorder that version will have their orders cancelled.

        First of all, we would like to thank you for your interest in the upcoming physical
        release of Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Collection, we certainly share your
        excitement for this release. There has been a few developments for the production
        since we first opened sale for the games and we would like to give you an update.

        PlayStation 4 version:

        Square Enix has confirmed to us that the game won't be released physically on the
        PS4. There was a misunderstanding about the possibility between us and Square Enix.
        Hence, we will have to cancel all current pre-orders for the PlayStation 4 version.

        We are aware that this is not the news you were hoping for and it was not our
        intention to put you through this experience.

        Note:

        1. Orders that only contain one item will be cancelled, and a refund will be issued
          using the original payment method.

        2. For orders containing multiple products, we will only remove the item "Final
          Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Collection" for PS4 and any remaining funds will be
          refunded to the original payment method.

        3. If your order qualified for free airmail shipping with an order value over US$99,
          this promotion will stay in effect for your order regardless of the updated value.

        Nintendo Switch version:

        Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Collection has confirmed to be releasing physically
        and on a single cartridge, the game's release date will be on the 2nd Quarter and
        we will start shipping it on release day.

        The game will support English language as advertised, support for other European
        languages remains to be confirmed, however, we will update the product page once we
        have this final confirmation.

        In terms of quantity available, the first print of the game will be limited, any
        order placed after February 22, 2023, will be shipped shortly after release date once
        the second batch of production has been completed by the publisher.

        The exact completion date of this second production is still being confirmed at the
        moment, but it will be shared publicly as soon as we have confirmed and checked all
        the details. You may refer to your order detail page for more details and eventual
        updates on the shipping date.

        If there is anything we can help you with, feel free to email us anytime.

        We are still rooting for your continued support and enjoyment for this release.
