Square Enix has officially revealed the release date for the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters on both PS4 and Switch, which were announced late last year.

The collection of the first six, classic Final Fantasy games launches on April 20th in Australia, with the games being made available for purchase individually, priced between $17.95 and $26.95 or as a bundle for $107.95.

It was also revealed that the new ports of the Pixel Remasters, which already launched on PC and mobile last year, will have the option to switch to a between the modern font and OST or a more classic font and the original Nobuo Uematsu-composed soundtracks. Players will also be able to turn off random battles and boost experience gains. Look below for all the details and where to find them:

Originally released on PC and mobile in 2022, the games are now coming to PS4 and Nintendo Switch. They’ll be available to buy digitally, either separately or as a collection comprising FINAL FANTASY I – VI.

What can you expect from the console version?

The PS4 and Switch versions of these games have some awesome features that make them even more enjoyable to play than before.

These include the option to:

  • Change soundtracks: The Pixel Remaster series features utterly superb new orchestral arrangements of FINAL FANTASY I – VI’s soundtracks. However, we know some of you may want to recreate the original experience of playing these games, so you’ll be able to switch between the original and rearranged soundtracks.
  • Change fonts: The console release of FINAL FANTASY I – VI gives you the option to switch between two different fonts: the default font and a new pixel-based font that recreates the feel of the original games.
  • Turn off random encounters: Sometimes you just want to explore in peace, so a feature in the Pixel Remaster games lets you turn off random encounters completely. This means you can roam the world without being harassed by monsters. That also means you won’t get stronger, so be careful how you use it…
  • Adjust experience: Speaking of getting stronger, want to speed things up a little? Boost features let you adjust the experience gained by up to four times. Perfect if you want an easier run through the games.
