In a video that is now private, Square Enix has announced a July 2021 release window for some or all of the games featured in the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series alongside a new look at these updated versions of Final Fantasy 1 through 6.
Wario64 on Twitter captured images from the presentation that shows off new screenshots of these updated classics in action, as well as the July 2021 release window.
The presentation was a 30-minute discussion featuring Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi, composer Nobuo Uematsu, and Yoshinori Kitase, and they discussed more about these upcoming games that will all be released on PC and mobile devices.
The Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series is not a collection of these games, and each one will be sold separately. The team made no mention as to whether all games would be released at the same time, or if only one or a few will kick it off.
The new versions of these titles were announced during E3 2021's Square Enix Presents, and feature such upgrades as Final Fantasy 5 and 6 being presented in widescreen for the first time.

While only time will tell if these games will make it to other platforms, or if they will fare better than the previous Steam release of Final Fantasy 6 that was criticized for it simply being a port of the mobile version, it's always wonderful to have these classics available in a modern and easily accessible way.
