Overview
FINAL FANTASY I-VI Collection Anniversary Edition. Experience the classic FINAL FANTASY saga in a fresh 2D pixel remaster, led by Kazuko Shibuya (art) and Nobuo Uematsu (soundtrack). It includes six beloved RPGs—FFI through FFVI—with crisp pixel art alongside updated orchestral themes. Also, the modern interface adds auto-battle toggles and useful extras like a bestiary, illustration gallery, and music player. And because these updates stay true to the originals, you won’t find any extra dungeons or big story changes sneaking in.
Key Features
- Complete 2D pixel remaster of FFI–FFVI with the original character designs.
- Beautifully updated soundtrack, plus an optional retro chiptune mode.
- Updated interface with auto-battle, quest reminders, and save-anywhere support.
- Extra content: bestiary entries, art galleries, a music player, and a sticker sheet.
- Pure pixel remaster—no extra dungeons or major story changes.
Speedrunning & Strategy Tips
- Early XP grind: To level fast in FINAL FANTASY II, farm Pepper-faced Knights in the Elder Cave. Equip Feather and Chain Mail on your mages to move first, then spam Quick items for double actions.
- Menu skips: Also, hit Start between enemy hits in FFIII–V to skip low-damage animations. This saves hundreds of frames during long fights like Lich or Gilgamesh.
- Kefka encounter (FFVI): First, mute the orchestral intro in Options. Next, enable Auto-Battle on your A-Team to breeze past trash mobs right into the final gauntlet.
- Route planning: Furthermore, use the in-game map markers (under Options) to mark key locations. That way, you can plan world-map hops and skip cutscenes more easily.
- Nostalgia fix: Finally, toggle the retro soundtrack mid-boss for an extra hype boost—especially during the Opera House scene in FFVI.
