Update 2/23/2023: PS4 listing is erroring out. Appears to have been delisted on Play-Asia's site. However, orders that were placed should still have it queued to those orders. Will keep an eye on it for further updates. Switch version is still available.

Update 2/23/2023 (Part 2): Per the Switch listing, it appears that there may be more than one printing of the game, depending on when you ordered it. This means that PS4 copies may still be fulfilled for those currently placed, but whether the PS4 listing opens up again later remains to be seen. Here is what is on the Switch Description:
IMPORTANT: The day 1 print quantity of this game is limited. All orders will be fulfilled but those placed after February 22nd 2023 will be fulfilled from the second print of the game.

Update 2/25/2023: Switch version still available, but the price has increased to $79.99 now.

Update 2/27/2023: Reporting deal as expired. Adding an additional comment in thread at end for context.


For any folks who missed their chance in getting Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Collection pre-ordered with Square Enix through their online store, you now have another opportunity through a different, albeit legitimate reseller.

The game is priced $74.99 for Playstation 4 or Switch version, due for release at end of April.

Shipping for game will vary in cost for Economy speed shipping - However, for orders at $100 or over, it discounts to free Economy shipping.

Item is NOT guaranteed for day-of-release, but will be delivered soon after.

PS4: https://www.play-asia.com/final-f.../13/70g0qn

Switch: https://www.play-asia.com/final-f.../13/70g0qp

For any who ask if Play-Asia is legitimate, yes it is.
Official website: https://www.play-asia.com/
About website (history, links to reviews/ratings, etc): https://www.play-asia.com/info/helpabout

Question: This isn't a discount. Are there any discounts?
Answer: Yes. There is one coupon code available that will help discount a small percentage off of the order. GEMATSU23 will discount the game by 5% off currently. Credit for the code's promotion goes to Gematsu via Twitter post: https://twitter.com/gematsu/statu...5302065152 . Otherwise, there is no other discount available. This is more an 'availability' post for those who want the physical (not digital) edition of the games.

Question: Will I be able to get this game any other way?
Answer: If you want, you can also wait for the digital edition of the games to release for the same $74.99 price tag. But if you want a physical copy, this is currently the best way to get one and NOT pay an exorbitant price tag via scalpers.

Question: This isn't the official US release, is it?
Answer: No, it is an Asia-English copy. Some games sold by Play-Asia are Asia region in terms of release, but they have English text available for playing the game. You will be able to get the game, and play it in English text.

Question: Is the game compatible with my PS4, PS5 or Switch?
Answer: Yes! They work with all PS4, PS5 and Switch consoles sold worldwide! Since this game will not have any DLC coupled with it, you won't have to worry about making a region-specific account to get DLC for it.

Question: What if there's updates/patches available?
Answer: They will still download to your installed copy from online if there is one available. That doesn't seem to be restricted by your console's region.

Play-Asia's been around for a good 20 years now. Well reputed, and I've been a fan of going through them for certain releases of games with English text on them. One of my favorite purchases was the Super Robot Wars series on PS4 (VXT Trilogy, and SRW 30). A bit pricey, but worth if if you want to play some games that haven't had official Western releases but still have English as an option.
That's up to Square Enix. They did an opening of pre-orders on the SQEX store when this was announced. But it was opened up early in the morning in North America...too early. As a result, the pre-orders seemed to go to No Longer Available (some believe scalpers/bots are the cause), and have been in that state since then. There was a wishlist option, but that also has been removed.

Square has been pushing the digital footprint harder over physical with each year. The physical printing was touted as a limited-run idea, which is why it ended so quickly. But not everyone favors digital. I do it myself if the discount is deep, but I try to go physical where possible.

And the good thing about the Pixel Remaster Collection on physical is that you can always sell it off later.
I've made software purchases through this site. It's been around for a while.

I was thinking that's to test the market. Do you really think that that is all they will produce for NA/NTSC market?
Yes. The supply is unlimited on digital.

Quote from caveman01 :
Been observing how the gaming market is even before the pandemic. I will definitely buy this, but not now. Seeing how Square-Enix have been pricing their games, I think the lowest this collection would be on sale digitally would be $30 the least. NOT on first sale of course, but waaaaaaaaaaay down the road. The physical, I believe would retain value IF they keep the sale price on digital at high price and IF they keep the printed copies at low numbers. Again, this is Square-Enix so I do believe they will print as much as they could until they notice that the demand starts to dwindle. With the Switch being region free, I would buy whichever will be on sale the cheapest in the future. I also think they will release this not only from their stores, but to mass market. They know that their market for this are the kids from at least 30ish years ago that are now working adults that mostly have money to spare for a game collection like this. They also know scalpers would try to buy out copies as much as possible. So they probably will print out more than what the scalpers can handle to get a bigger share of the market…, just like how the recent ps5 availability made scalpers cry. This is just what I believe and what makes sense to me. Just my 2cents.

Edit: that Thumb down must be a scalper hahahahahahahaha
Thank you. I'll wait for digital

Good morning, all. Here's some news from Play-Asia as of 2/27/2023:

PS4 copies are all cancelled for this game. Square Enix confirmed it will NOT be printed on PS4 physically. As a result, all orders are having the PS4 edition cancelled. Refer to your emails for Play-Asia for updates.

Nintendo Switch copies are still go, but the game is selling for $79.99 currently, and only those who pre-ordered on or before 2/22 will be in the first shipment. All orders post-2/22 will be the second shipment.

Deal is now being reported as expired, and this comment is being left here to ensure awareness.

I ordered 2/22 and received confirmation but their site says order placed 2/23. Mine is still "preparing." I'm guessing it won't ship until they get a second shipment in.

Edit: says estimated ship date 5/27. Going to be a while still.

Ordered in feb and still not received. Just checked the tracking and it shows to have been delivered a week ago to my mailbox (locked mailbox). Frown

Just reached out to their customer service. Anyone have any experience with getting replacements from them? Really hoping I didn't just throw away close to 90.00 on a game that is lost in the mail. Frown

Update on situation: Had to file report with USPS, and of course they were zero help and quick to point out "sorry, you didn't buy insurance so we aren't liable..." (Pathetic that we should to pay EXTRA just to ensure that the post office does their job... geez.) I forward that response to Play Asia and they're like "oh, we're sorry... maybe you should check with your neighbors and and then file a police report for a stolen package..." (Guessing they missed the part about our mailboxes being locked, so it's not a stolen package issue.)

I get that the delivery portion is out of their control, but they do not offer any insured delivery option or other shipping methods. So at the end of the day the consumer gets screwed if something happens.

Definitely won't be buying from them again and guessing the only option is to try to file a dispute with my credit card.

Hope others had better luck!
