In aSteam post, Squeenix say that they’re taking time to get the last of the Pixel Remasters right:
”In order to bring you the best experience possible, we’re giving ourselves the necessary time to apply final polish while finishing development on the game.“
Perhaps unsurprising news, as Final Fantasy VI made it into Katharine and Brendy’sbest Final Fantasy games on PCpower-rankings, albeit at number eight. Katharine said it’s “generally considered ‘the bestFinal Fantasy’ of the so-called classic era” but its mobile PC port is a load of rubbish. Something which Brendy didn’t hold back on, calling it “uglier than a pug’s bottom”. So, it’s understandable that Squeenix don’t want to get this remaster wrong.
Squeenix also announced some extra pre-order freebies. Namely some “Timelapse” remixed versions of themes from the soundtrack. These tunes start off with the original soundtrack version, then transition to the remixed one. A couple of pixel remastered wallpapers from FF1-6 are included now too.
According to Squeenix, you’ll need to “wait a while” before we can pre-purchase FF6 Pixel Remaster individually on Steam. For now, your only option is to pre-purchase it as part of theFF1-6 Pixel Remaster bundle.
