Square Enix has surprised Final Fantasy fans with physical releases of several PS1 remasters.
The headliner is last year’s Final Fantasy 8 Remaster, which comes in some rather fetching cover art. Even as someone who isn’t one for physical releases, I might succumb to picking this up:
Meanwhile, Nintendo Switch owners can grab Final Fantasy 7 and Final Fantasy 8 remasters in a twin pack, previously only available in Asia. Both editions have only been confirmed for a PAL regions – that’s Europe, the Middle East, Australia, and New Zealand – with no word on a North America release.
Both this and FF8 Remastered PS4’s physical edition are available on December 8th from the Square Enix Store.
As for why Square Enix highlighted Final Fantasy 8 in particular on PS4 is unknown, though it’s likely to not confuse those looking to pick up the full FF7 Remake. It’s a shame to not see FF9 bundled in on Switch, either – it would have been great to see three of Square’s best games together in one package.
