Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster[a] is a series of video game remasters of the first six installments in the Final Fantasy role-playing video game series developed by Tose[1] and Square Enix and published by Square Enix. The series includes remasters of the original versions of Final Fantasy (1987), Final Fantasy II (1988), Final Fantasy III (1990), Final Fantasy IV[b] (1991), Final Fantasy V (1992), and Final Fantasy VI[c] (1994), available standalone or in the Final Fantasy I-VI Bundle[d] compilation. It is notably the first release of the original Final Fantasy III outside of Japan, as only the 2006 3D remake had released internationally prior to the Pixel Remaster.

The Pixel Remasters feature rearranged music supervised by original composter Nobuo Uematsu, redrawn sprite art by original artist Kazuko Shibuya, updated user interface, additional content such as an illustration gallery and bestiary, and other enhancements; they lack the balancing and additional gameplay content implemented in older versions. Initially released on iOS, Android, and Microsoft Windows, the games had a staggered release date between July 2021 and February 2022 before all six games released together on PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch on April 19, 2023 in commemoration of the franchise's 35th anniversary.

The series received generally positive reviews, with critics praising the upgraded presentation, rescored music, quality-of-life enhancements, included extras, and balancing, while criticizing its technical issues at launch, English font, and the lack of additional content featured in earlier versions. The series has sold over three million units worldwide.[2]
