![]() “What exactly does ‘pixel remaster’ mean?” So say, let’s focus on some good stuff, shall we? Here’s one!

Who the heck looks at Final Fantasy VI and says, “eh, if they really want to play this on their Switch they’ll just tell us so.” How is this not presumed? What grills my moogle here is this weird insinuation that Square Enix is some struggling indie studio that can only hope to bring the Pixel Remasters to your TV screen if we purchase this first batch of ports and/or make tons of noise on social media. Hey, that’s reasonable! I actually kind of get it. ![]() I’m not critiquing the decision to release the games on PC and mobile devices, mind you I’m flabbergasted that Square seems to think this will ring as “better” to anyone who prefers to play their games on consoles.ĭevil’s advocate here, I presume what they’re saying is that since Steam, Apple, and Android are services that do not involve “generations” in quite the same sense as Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft hardware does, there’s a greater degree of games preservation involved in capitalizing on those first and foremost. Somehow, this is not the case if the games are released on, say, the Nintendo Switch or PlayStation platforms. The remasters are coming to smartphones and Steam so that people all over the world can play them for years to come.
