Its easier just to get the Asia version. It only costs $80 & is mulit languages including English. Plus unlike the American release there no limit to copies printed. Thank you Play-Asia.
I usually try to stick with US versions for my collection but I just had to go with the Asian version this time. It looks so much better (and it’s actually accessible).
Me too. I got it last year from PlayAsia and it's the highlight of my Switch collection. This year I managed to get 2 packs of both VII and VIII as well as X and X-2 when PlayAsia was having a sale.
@@teoman_açıkgözyou do realize that's how a collector's Market works? Unopened limited runs of popular products. If it was just we're honestly lucky that the pixel remastered had any kind of physical release at all they wanted to go purely digital.
The switch Asian English version of Final Fantasy pixel remaster comes with box art inside the game case the North American release does not Asian price is $74.95 it doesn't sell that cheap but you are getting six games
I've got a pbone with over 300 gigs on it. I have every single nes, snes, 64, gamecube, Sega[MD-dreamcast], ps1, gb, gbc, gba, PSP, ds, and 3ds game ever made on that phone for free. (Dont worry goverment agency who is reading this. At one point I had an entire library so its legal 😉😉)
What’s funny is the Asian version actually has nice sprite artwork on inner packaging and NTSC version has just white. Give me the cooler version any day.
For those of you looking for this game be sure to get the correct version. The one he has is the rare one with the ESRB rating. It’s about 300 dollars. There is another version that is not as rare and has no ESRB rating on the cover that goes for about 100.
Just got this myself not realizing how rare it is, I’m sure once Switch is discontinued it’ll be even harder to get as time goes by. Fortunately it is available digitally and no forced limited time availability for Digital. So get it if you can either way.
got ff pixel remaster on switch from play asia. Its an absolute joy. Ive beaten FF 1 through 4 so far and I am currently making my way through 5. The quality of life improvements like combat on/off option and the redone music is all so good. Only thing I dislike is the re done combat music of FF6. Original FF6 combat music is much better. Luckily you can play with original soundtrack too :)
Great for you! I got mine for $112 USD on Amazon with the exact same games. Yours has the ESRB rating, so... it makes it special for you. And that's what is important. For you to enjoy what you bought.
I learned a lot watching this informative short video. My question is was there not an officially released final fantasy 7,8,and 9 in North America and you said Final Fantasy 10/10-2 does not have 10 two on the cart?
Actually, the best version of the FF Pixel Remaster is the Asian version because it has a clear cover without the rating information on it. But great collection you have there!
I was really upset about this. I was still trying to get full time work when they decided to release this. I never even had a chance. There are the digital versions, but it's just not the same.
The sad thing is, people who actually love the game usually never gets the copy. The scalpers, buy out everything resell it sky-high. I do have the copy myself just 1. But yeah its a sick world!
I'd say most of the AUS Pal copies had less than 25K prints, took me a few years to track down a good condition 7 and 8 Remaster with both games on the cart with an AUS rating. If your talking total amounts of the games I understand but variants is a whole other league
You seem to know nothing of physical collecting. Asian copies of it are able to be obtained from play Asia, but that certainly isn't easily obtainable.
Bought my EU copy from Ropecon Tabletop gaming event/Fair last year for around 100 euros, knowing that the prices had already shot up. Wasn't taking chances.
Pretty sure "the rarest FF game on Switch" is not the one with an ESRB rating, but the one with a rating system from a smaller market (UK, Australia...). Hell, I'm also pretty sure even the European PEGI version had fewer copies released.
Yea I had to get digital for the pixel remaster collection I was kinda bummed cause its very special to me. I am still very grateful I have it at all, but I wonder why they didn't make more.
I would love to get my hands on a copy of 1-6 pixel edition for the switch, but no way im paying what they priced it at for 30 year old games, we already have multiple copies of.
Does the FF Pixel Remasters have all 6 games included? The reason why I asked is because apparently, multi game packs like RE only has 1 game actually included, and that you have to dowload the rest.
This a BS anti consumer move by square enix, it’s also what we call artificial inflation on a game deliberately making it rare and absolutely hard to find this is by design and we deserve better from these companies, if the company can’t meet the demand to make more then don’t release them game at all, it lets the fan base down and it supports the proliferation of an all digital future which is why I’m against this shit, I’m a huge final fantasy fan myself don’t get me wrong in fact I’ve been playing FF since the NES days, but I don’t want these games digitally I want them physically and square wind needs to make more of these and stop with these limited print runs.
FFIV is by far my favorite video game of all time. I replayed for the first time in over 3 years when the pixel remaster came out and it was even better than I remembered
@@TheDemoncaller thanks! Now the harder part is actually finding a PS4 copy which, might be almost impossible because Square decided to try to force everyone to do digital and I'm just old school and like my hard copy so..... I might be in an impasse
I got the North American one brand new Mercari… for $50. Damn I almost feel bad, that person didn’t know what they had and I had no idea what I was getting lol
I dont know why i HAVE TO HAVE FF on Nintendo. Its a must for me! I just bought X-X2 i been trying to get it for almost a year! Wonderful collection homie.
Such BS that this was a limited release. Come on obviously there is demand for it. I hate when they do this it only makes the scalpers rich and makes it difficult for the fans to get it for a decent price.
Not an impressive reason for it to be rare, especially when there is a known market. It's one thing if it was an obscure game that barely saw the light of day but this is just the Pixel Remasters all on one cart, games that have been around and popular for 30-40 years. This is just dumb.
Well it WAS...
lol so excited to get it
😂
😂 can’t wait to get my copy now
Good. This shit deserved a bigger release.
Glad it's not anymore.
It shouldn’t even BE a rarity had Square just released the remasters NORMALLY.🤦🏾♂️
Pretty easy to get on PC, consoles is a different story sadly
They have. Can buy ff singularly or in a collection
9.49 for ff 1 on ps4
Where you all get information from
@@addictedtoRS Collectors want physical! Digital could disappear someday
Its easier just to get the Asia version. It only costs $80 & is mulit languages including English. Plus unlike the American release there no limit to copies printed. Thank you Play-Asia.
This aged AMAZINGLY
Heck yeah it did lol 😂
Lol, I was about to say that I got mine from a black Friday sale.
I usually try to stick with US versions for my collection but I just had to go with the Asian version this time. It looks so much better (and it’s actually accessible).
It's just extremely overpriced lol atleast it is now. Thing goes for $90 which is ridiculous
@@Stargazing_night_skyFound a new copy for $80 last week. Still overpriced but it was the cheapest I have seen in months so I couldn't pass it up.
@RAD-1979 yeah definitely the cheapest you'll find lol hope you enjoy it. I still haven't got around to playing the games in the collection yet
Nice
Me too. I got it last year from PlayAsia and it's the highlight of my Switch collection. This year I managed to get 2 packs of both VII and VIII as well as X and X-2 when PlayAsia was having a sale.
I have the asian version, it's a nice piece of gaming history to have
The playasia one? I ordered it and it just shipped. Apparently, that one has nice artwork on the inside of the cover 😊
@@i8ET Yeah I got the play asia one. The game itself is exactly like the US one and like you said has the added bonus of art in the box
Lol ok
It’s the better version.
Yeah, I have the Playasia version too. No regrets.
Well, they’re mass produced now. Whoops
Screw scalpers and resellers I hope they officially get screwed over by other video game companies besides Square Enix, and Nintendo!
Maybe they should stop selling their products at such low volumes.
@@teoman_açıkgözNintendo knows what they're doing when they do that
@@teoman_açıkgözmeanwhile. Dkoldies gets all the hate. Even tho Nintendo sues literal children

6 games you can get for free if you google roms.

I bought it. Worth it.
There's a ton of these in my local game store, and almost all the game stores near me have this on shelves
Defo not rare then
Likely not the North American version.
Buy it then
@@JoeBudden-gh8fi I literally have 2 copies in my home rn...
I bought Final Fantasy I-VI Collection for the Nintendo Switch and am loving it. Just finished the first one tonight 🤘🏼
I have the physical copy of FFVIIR Integrate on PS5. Got it back in 2022 for the standard price, had no idea it was so expensive now
What’s funny is the Asian version actually has nice sprite artwork on inner packaging and NTSC version has just white. Give me the cooler version any day.
I ordered the Asian version on PlayAsia yesterday.
I ordered mine 3 days ago!! It just shipped. I can’t wait 😊
Just picked this up an hour ago at my local game store. Owner just got a few copies in during the week and he told me how tough it was to find them 😅
It's lucky that the switch are easy to find, copy's for the ps4 can hit about 1.5k
Cool! How much was it?
I also got lucky to get one of those just to find out how rare they actually are. So its cool to see someone else with it.
I have that PS collection too. I found it in a small store that was selling older games and it's also where I found 7, 8, 9, and Chrono Cross for PSP.
Chrono cross was never on psp..?
I would just say the most valuable final fantasy in general. It’s been easy and affordable to collect for the series until this gem. Congratulations
My copy doesn't seem to have any age rating on it at all 🤔
For those of you looking for this game be sure to get the correct version. The one he has is the rare one with the ESRB rating. It’s about 300 dollars. There is another version that is not as rare and has no ESRB rating on the cover that goes for about 100.
for some reason he doesnt say it in the video, but this is worth $300 or so aftermarket.
LOL really?
Collection is only rare because of scalpers, that doesn't really make it rare.
The collection is rare because Square Enix didn't make many physical copies, not because of scalpers. Scalpers were just the icing on the cake.
The playasia one has better artwork inside the case so I hope you can snag that one
Just got this myself not realizing how rare it is, I’m sure once Switch is discontinued it’ll be even harder to get as time goes by. Fortunately it is available digitally and no forced limited time availability for Digital. So get it if you can either way.
Mine is getting shipped rn to me from play asia but idrc ab rarity. It’s just a really cool collection
Did you get it yet? Is that a legit site?

In Oct they wont be rare, as they are being re released.
Trivia: Yokoka Soma did the drums for a lot of the Pixel Remaster tracks. At age 10. Not a typo.
Shows how much squeenix dropped the ball on this release when a mainline collection is rare smh
I had no idea these were rare. The game store down the street still has them in stock as of a week ago.
Why is the ESRB at the bottom important? You had mentioned it and I’m curious why.
It's common and much cheaper now 😅
Great for you! I got mine for $112 USD on Amazon with the exact same games. Yours has the ESRB rating, so... it makes it special for you. And that's what is important. For you to enjoy what you bought.
It’s a shame they didn’t make them look like the psp versions
I learned a lot watching this informative short video. My question is was there not an officially released final fantasy 7,8,and 9 in North America and you said Final Fantasy 10/10-2 does not have 10 two on the cart?
Yes. Only the asian version has x-2 on the card. In eu and us it’s only a download codex
The superior Asia version has sprite artwork inside the case,, unlike the USA version
Actually, the best version of the FF Pixel Remaster is the Asian version because it has a clear cover without the rating information on it. But great collection you have there!
He didn't say best, he said rarest.
This one stepped away from the color swan version which was also released on the GBA and opted to do a mix of the original FF1 which was great
I was really upset about this. I was still trying to get full time work when they decided to release this. I never even had a chance.
There are the digital versions, but it's just not the same.
The sad thing is, people who actually love the game usually never gets the copy. The scalpers, buy out everything resell it sky-high. I do have the copy myself just 1. But yeah its a sick world!
I totally got lucky seeing that come on the website. Managed to get the collectors edition too.

Square hates money
Square: What was that bro? *pulls up with a truckload of FF 1-6 collection reprints*
Do you get just ff or do you get games that have collaborated with ff as well?
That crack on the ps1 case kills me 😢
Yeah, that tends to happen unfortunately.
Good thing the Switch isn't region locked. I got the Asian version for $90 on Amazon.
Theres also the final fantasy 3d version for 3ds but was only Japan Exclusive and eshop is already shutdown
Pixel Remaster is not rare it's literally available for digital download and the physical copies are easy to find.
You seem to know nothing of physical collecting. Asian copies of it are able to be obtained from play Asia, but that certainly isn't easily obtainable.
@@surfingconcrete Clearly you are the one who doesn't know shit about collecting if you think it's hard to find sit down 🤡
Ive still never played the old Chocobo's Dungeon game(s) am i missing anything?
still pissed that they didn't do a mass release for the Pixel versions of 1-6
I remember missing out on getting this by MINUTES and I'll never not be upset about it.
Now that they're available to buy again, are you not upset anymore?
Bought my EU copy from Ropecon Tabletop gaming event/Fair last year for around 100 euros, knowing that the prices had already shot up. Wasn't taking chances.

Rarest? I could get it from Play Asia with relative ease.
Are those games worth playing? The bundle is on sale digitally and I was really considering picking it up
Wait. I thought Chocobo'e Mystery Dungeon didn't have a physical version?

I didn't even know you could get ff9 physically.
Probably would have saved my switch a bit of space.
I can’t believe they don’t have Final Fantasy VII and VIII on a switch cartridge in N America!
*If it don’t say ESRB,
It ain’t for me.*
FFIV is by far my favorite video game of all time. I replayed for the first time in over 3 years when the pixel remaster came out and it was even better than I remembered
I have the same problem… I’m addicted to Final Fantasy.
I got the European edition of Pixel Perfect. I love it!!!
You make it sound like it's impossible to find but there's a bunch of them on Amazon..
I saw to copies of this game in my local retro game store I bought one copy of it. Still in it's original plastic haven't opened yet.
Shocked so many saw your video for this collection. Maybe i need to post my collection
Yo your flashfire box opening was one of my favourite videos as a kid i woild always rewatch it when I was bored, super cool seeing you pop up again!
Kinda wished they kept the old 8-bit graphics for I-III. Woulda liked to have seen those in their original counterparts. I still got I on the NES.
I mean there's always emulators
@@breathstealer5486 unfortunately i dont know how to do that.
The pixel collection for ps4 is even rarer because they made even less copies than switch
Is it in the Nintendo shop?
They are re-releasing more this october
And now there is a 2nd wave of them coming in October
HA! Suck it scalpers!
Price has crash now is 80😂
You gor the NA copy whicj is much easier to find. In Canada, this one is worth 100$.
Unlike the original Asian copy which is somehow worth 135$
Too bad they went live at like 3am and sold out instantly. Was really looking forward to getting that one.
Better get asian vers it has an artwork in the insert
Got the physical copy of FF Pixel Remaster on the Switch as well through Play Asia.
Does Asian version offer English dialogue in the settings? I'm looking to get a PS4 hard copy
yes. it has multi language support. and i believe english is the default

Never really understood why people collect games ... They're meant to be played
Square Enix is so stupid to not release this in Stores. Also very racist to not release this where i live -.-
I was able to find one today “American version too” eBay for $100
I got a Switch to play the old school Final Fantasy games mostly, but also any other similar RPGs. The Switch is great for that.
Why tf is the pixel remaster a limited release
