Has it sunk in yet that almost every single mainline Final Fantasy<\/strong> game between I<\/a> and XII<\/a> is now available on the Switch? That’s thanks to this week’s release of the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster<\/a> series, which was long, long<\/em> overdue.<\/p>\n

Back when the games launched on Steam and mobile between 2021 and 2022, lots of people were happy that the classic six Final Fantasy games were finally being made more accessible. But there was one big talking point that swept across the world when it came to the Pixel Remasters \u2014 the font.<\/p>\n

The font in the original Pixel Remaster releases was not popular, at least in the west. To many, it clashed with the retro pixel art visuals, and the thin, sterile style isn’t the most pleasant on the eyes when playing on a PC screen.<\/p>\n

Fans took to creating mods to “fix” the font, using variations from Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls<\/a> on GBA to Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest<\/a>‘s chunky pixel typeface. Various guides, including this one from RPG Site<\/a>, detailed the many ways you could get a “better” font and improve your experience with these classics.<\/p>\n

It soon became apparent, however, that Japan didn’t have the same issue. While not sporting a pixel-style font, the Japanese font was much cleaner, a bit thicker, and \u2014 most importantly \u2014 was much easier to read.<\/p>\n
