This isn’t the first time the classic title has been given a makeover for re-release, but after over thirty years Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster brings the original game to a new potential audience, making it available for modern hardware with a new sound and look that’s meant to maintain the feel of the 8-bit original.įinal Fantasy Pixel Remaster deals with a world where the four elements are thrown out of harmony. Thumb speed and reflexes mattered little in Final Fantasy, but understanding spell tactics and resource management were important.

It was a challenging game but the challenge was completely different that what happened in its contemporary action platformers. It was many people’s first time managing a party of four characters taking on groups of multiple monsters at once. It wasn’t the first turn-based RPG for the system, but arguably the best for its time. Forgive the pun, but Final Fantasy was a game changer on the NES. Final Fantasy has been around since 1987 but western gamers didn’t get to experience it until 1990.
