The first game is part of the NES Classic, but that can still be tricky to track down. The closest you can get is the Dawn of Souls remake, which is unfortunately not available on any current-gen consoles. While nearly every other numbered Final Fantasy is available on PC or modern consoles, Final Fantasy I and II are hard to track down. The game released in North America on the NES in 1989, and later saw a re-release on the Wii Virtual Console in 2008, but since the Virtual Console's closed this year, American audiences aren't able to experience this part of Square's history without dusting off their NES. It was the first game Square published independently, and featured some of Nobuo Uematsu's first work as a video game composer. But it's also an important part of Square's history.
From only releasing on outdated hardware to being entirely unlocalized, here are some games Square Enix should update next.
Square Enix has been doing an excellent job making its older titles accessible on modern platforms with announcements this week alone for the Mana series, Final Fantasy VIII, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, and The Last Remnant to name a few, but there are still some sizable gaps in its extensive catalog. During E3 2019, we had a chance to chat with Square Enix president and CEO Yosuke Matsuda about the publisher's efforts to make its back catalogue available digitally on modern platforms.
