It was a pleasure to chat through and analyse this one as a team! Let us know if you agree with some of your points and if you've already picked up the games. What is your favourite one and why is it Final Fantasy 6? lol - Mark
-
It’s kinda insane that now you can play every game in the final fantasy series up to 12 with the exception of 11 on one console. That’s kinda fantastic imo
-
Absolutely cannot wait for my copy to show up from PlayAsia. To have all 6 games on one cartridge is just awesome. The music in FF3 brings me right back to the early 90’s. Damn, getting old really sucks.
-
Imagine if they made a part 2 and did 7-16 but pixelated versions? That would take the cake
-
This is a real comfy and convenient way to play FFVI. Finally get to play through it after years of restarting the game and dropping off.
-
So excited for this! Probably only going to get 6 until the rest go on sale though.
-
Honestly so excited to play through all of these starting with FFI. Who am I kidding, I’ve already started today. FFVI is still one of my favourite RPGs of all times.
-
My issue with random encounters is that I get lost a lot. Like, a lot a lot. And it's frustrating just wanting to move around looking for where you need to go and being interrupted every 5 steps to fight something.
-
Ha, I was just looking for Switch reviews when yours popped up! I've been looking forward to playing Final Fantasy V and VI again after loving the GBA versions back when I was a kid. The nostalgia is real. Cheers guys!
-
I was one of those people posting on SE's social media posts: "When PR on consoles?". So... I'll definitely going to buy them! 1-3 never played them. I'm excited to play them for the first time! 4 I just played the first 5 hours. 5-6 I couldn't beat the final dungeon on either. So this time is PERSONAL 👊! They are the only ones on the main series that I haven't beaten. I'm excited to finally complete my quest! Thank you for your review!

I played these games to death on GBA (except 3, which never got a GBA port for some reason and I never got around to obtaining the DS version), but never finished any of them. It's going to be so great being able to play through them again, and on the same console as so many of my other favorite games. 5 and 6 were my favorites, and I'm going to enjoy playing them again the most. And this will give me an excuse to finally start playing 7-9, which have been rotting in my Switch's digital library for years. I hope to play X-X2 someday too, but it'll have to be after a 1.5TB or 2TB microSD card can be bought.

This is super helpful! Amazing as always
-
Got FF VI today and it just unlocked about 2 hours ago. It has great quality of life stuff, map, minimap, treasures on map, location item trackers, etc
-
Great review. I'll definitely get them, but I'll try to hold out until a sale. At least a small one... 😉
-
I’m looking forward to playing these games for the first time! But I’m also looking forward to the sale they’ll go on in the future. As great as these remasters are, I can’t justify the price.
-
Love pixel art, missed all these games when I was younger but the second they drop on price (when…) I’ll be snapping them up for sure! Thanks for a great comparison video!
-
got em all downloading now. super excited to have these on one console. definitely on the expensive side, but if you are a big fan or even new to the series this is the way to play em. tears of joy 😢😊
-
Great video! Very informative!
-
Thank you for this review. Will definitely pick it up
-
Yes!!! Been waiting for this video a long time!
