Square Enix confirmed today that the first three Final Fantasy games are getting re-released on Steam and mobile platforms on July 28. Specifically, these will be "2D pixel remasters" of the games that bring a look and feel of the original releases but with some modern quality-of-life improvements.
What does this mean? Well, the games will still feature 2D sprites that have been updated, slightly, compared to their original release. This was done by the original artist and current collaborator. You'll also get some modern UI improvements and improvements to various control schemes such as touch controls. There is also some nice bonus content like the bestiary, illustration gallery, music player, and the ability to save at any time. Finally, the games feature rearranged soundtracks, overseen by the original composer, Nobuo Uematsu.
You can pre-purchase the titles on Steam to get two exclusive wallpapers, three music tracks, and a 20% discount off each title. You can also optionally purchase all six games in a bundle for a bigger discount. Final Fantasy IV, V, and VI will be released later.
