The Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters were initially announced just for PC, and console fans have been anxiously hoping for ports ever since. In the wee hours of the morning, Square Enix revealed that the remastered versions of the first six games in the series will be made available on PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch. Digital game collectors will be able to freely purchase the collection in spring 2023, but the physical release is available only through the Square Enix store. With no advance warning, limited copies of the standard edition went up around 1 a.m. ET, and promptly sold out.

While that would be frustrating enough, the collection’s pricing is… steeper than most would have expected. At $74.99, the standard edition costs more than most new games. Shipping from the Square Enix store also costs more than $20, making the standard edition over $100! Of course, the game’s collector’s edition is still available, but it will set fans back $259.99 before tax and shipping. That price includes a vinyl soundtrack, some figures, and an art book. Fans can place themselves on a wait list for the game’s standard edition, but it’s currently unclear if more copies will be made available. Readers can check it out right here.
To say this rollout has been a mess would be a massive understatement! Fans have been anxiously awaiting this collection’s announcement, and many woke up to the news that it’s already sold out. Square Enix did say that physical copies would be limited, but at least a few days of notice would have made fans feel a lot better about how things went down. Across social media, many have made their opinions quite clear with how this whole thing has shaken out!

Most people were probably asleep!
Square Enix really needs to make more available.
There’s so much money to be made.
It just doesn’t make sense!
This is the kind of thing fans want to own a copy of.
Remember when you could just… go buy a game?
Well, it worked for other Final Fantasy ports.
That price is gonna turn off a lot of people, though.
