Only the first six games in the series have been remade as pixel remasters, and today marks the launch of the last in the group, Final Fantasy VI. And so the company recently set out to recreate its classics for the umpteenth time, and these are the recent pixel remasters that have been landing on Android, iOS, and PC since July, coincidentally the same month the old mobile ports disappeared from the Play Store. These ports weren't that great, to begin with, with missing features and letterboxed/pillarboxed graphics that didn't fit modern screens. If it's pixels you're after however, the pixel remaster of Final Fantasy IV will set you back £10.39/€14.39/$14.39 with its current 20% discount.Square Enix doesn't have the best track record on mobile, thanks to the company letting many of its premium games languish without updates for years, including its old Final Fantasy titles. While the mobile ports have been pulled off sale, you can still pick up the 3D remake of Final Fantasy IV which was first released on Nintendo 3DS.

"There's moody old dragoon Kain and his unrequited love for white mage Rosa, Cecil's transformation from conflicted dark knight to righteous world-saving paladin, super cool ninja Edge who disappears when he gets embarrassed, the slightly useless bard Edward who just can't get his act together to confess his love for his dear Anna, and the mischievous mage twins Palom and Porom who you decide would make brilliant additions to your travelling party despite the fact they're just five years old." "Final Fantasy IV was the first one in the series to do a proper story with proper characters you actually liked and loathed, with relationships and personalities often reflected in their job class and character skills," wrote Katharine. When Brendan and Katharine ranked the best Final Fantasy games overall it only came in 7th place, however. JRPG expert Katharine says that Final Fantasy IV is the best of the old Final Fantasies (aka the first six).
