At the Xbox broadcast.

Trials and Legend of Mana are also on Game Pass.

 

[StereoVsn]

Trials is a good game, I recommend it for folks who miss the feeling of 90s and 2000s RPGs.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Looks like Square's CEO is keeping his word when he said that he'll make more Squeenix titles available on Xbox.

Happy for whoever out there wants these games and somehow hasn't played them on another console

Played Trials back last year on PS+ but never played Legends before so should be good, hopefully.

Pixel Remasters, if they're Play Anywhere, I can see picking those up at a decent price too.

 

[Cornbread78]

Well, great for XBox only players.

I wonder what their sales expectations are on XBox though....

 

[Trekinspace88]

Good to see more SE titles on Xbox for those that play on the console.

I do hope Xbox players buy the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster collection so SE can see that it's worth the effort to release more Final Fantasy titles and future entries on the console.

 

[cireza]

Awesome news. Only Star Ocean 2R left !

I hope they fixed the shimmering in Final Fantasy pixel remasters, otherwise this will be an easy skip.

 

[LordCBH]

Nice!!

Has the issue been fixed in the latest patches?
They're doing a reprint of the game elsewhere, right?

 

[cireza]

It wasn't on Switch in the latest cartridge release.

 

[Punished Miku]

Awesome news. Only Star Ocean 2R left !

There's definitely more than that left. Forspoken, FFVIIR, FFXVI, Actraiser, I Am Setsuna, Lost Sphere, Oninaki, Valkyrie Elysium, Foamstars, Voice of Cards trilogy, Dungeon Encounters, etc, etc.

[Punished Miku]

Spoiler

I'd play it on Gamepass lol. I really didn't like the demo though.

 

[The Pleasure]

If you're playing legend of mana do yourself a favor and grab a guide. Placement of the cities and towns are tied to the ending if i remember right.

 

[Fabieter]

I'd play it on Gamepass lol. I really didn't like the demo though.

I doubt we will see that again tho

 

[Orangee]

Lmao NES games on Xbox, they absolutely destroyed the competition.

Looking forward to the Square thing. It's tommorow right? Are they even streaming It?

 

[Ebrietas]

Lol good luck with that

 

[The Shepard]

Trials is good. I played it on ps plus and enjoyed it so much i brought a copy of the game after i completed it.

 

[adamsapple]

I doubt we will see that again tho

The studio got shuttered right?

Yeah, odds of that being revived are probably very low.

 

[Antwix]

Pixel Remasters, if they're Play Anywhere, I can see picking those up at a decent price too.

[Deft Beck]

A lot of this is just playing nice with Microsoft. The players really aren't there.

$60 is a fair price. Will get it when I get home.

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

Now watch the haters party and Sqex go Pikachu face when sales are abysmal thanks to the most obvious self-fulfilling prophecy.
“Japanese games don’t sell on Xbox” -> release them on Xbox years after they hit all other platforms -> the games don’t sell.

 

[cireza]

There's definitely more than that left. Forspoken, FFVIIR, FFXVI, Actraiser, I Am Setsuna, Lost Sphere, Oninaki, Valkyrie Elysium, Foamstars, Voice of Cards trilogy, Dungeon Encounters, etc, etc.

Yeah I will pass on all of these.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Never played a Mana game. Maybe I will now. But probably not.

 

[Kacho]

Nice spread. If Square starts releasing their games on Xbox day one they might start building some semblance of an audience.

 

[darth.shrimp]

Is it the original (SNES) Trials, of the remake?

 

[Punished Miku]

Yeah I will pass on all of these.

I Am Setsuna, Dungeon Encounters are some of my favorite games they've put out. Actraiser was great. And I'd take Valkyrie Elysium since it's made by Soleil. But yeah, these are all lesser titles. Still better than Mana.

Awesome!

 

[DenchDeckard]

Deffo gonna play trials. Hopefully on xbox app with play anywhere. My rog ally loves this stuff.

 

[NeverYouMind]

I am going to grab FF6 at some point, but I was hoping for Collection of Mana instead of the mediocre remakes/remasters.

Is it the original (SNES) Trials, of the remake?

Remake.

 

[El Muerto]

Boy i'm dumb. Didnt know Seiken Densetsu 3 was also called Trials of Mana on snes. I played the shit out of the translation on zsnes with my old pentium 1. Downloading Trials now and also All you need is help. I played enough squeenix games when i was a teen so i wont bother with FF1-6 remasters and Legend of Mana.

 

[ap_puff]

Huh? Wasn't trials of mana already on xbox?

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

I have really enjoyed Visions of Mana and I didn't know it wasn't developed directly by SE. A shame we won't get a follow up in the same style. I like the combat, the music is good, and the game looks and runs great on PC/Steam deck.

I know the pixel remaster is a heavy ask at that price...but damn (basically $11.50 if you price out each game) its a great collection package with some bangers!!

 

[adamsapple]

Huh? Wasn't trials of mana already on xbox?

No, the one that came out a few weeks ago was Visions of Mana.

These two have never been on an Xbox platform before.

 

[Isa]

I woulda loved this news if I was still maining the system. Great for those still there though. Otherwise I would have bought them instantly, but I've got them elsewhere. Trials was so good.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Installing!

 

[Davevil]

FF Pixel not in game pass?

 

[adamsapple]

FF Pixel not in game pass?

Nope.

Picked up FFVI, probably gonna buy them piece-meal instead of all of them.

 

[Nydius]

FF Pixel not in game pass?

Have you seen how much Square-Enix charges for the whole bundle? No way in hell they’d agree to put that up on Game Pass. It’s a cash cow for them. I’m surprised they agreed to a launch day sale!

 

[Punished Miku]

I’m surprised they agreed to a launch day sale!

Same. I think they might be finally learning. They put the Octopath 1/2 bundle on sale as well and I got that.

 

[cash_longfellow]

Enjoy folks. Pixel remaster are nice, especially with the sliders for folks who have played through the games in the past.

 

[Kacho]

Do I triple dip like a good pay pig? Choices choices.

 

[saintjules]

Legends of Mana - The only Mana game to play.

 

[Punished Miku]

Tried out FFIV for a bit. The font is still an abomination. Couple nice upgrades though. Auto Battle repeats whatever your last action is for each character. Map on screen at all times. An ! icon pops up if you're next to a hidden item so you can still search without spamming A. You can click RS to turn off all encounters. Great if you missed 1 chest and want to just grab it without 10 fights. OST is redone and its a mixed bag. Some better, some a little odd. Some flowing waterfall graphics seem redone. Most of the rest is the same pixel art from the original but does have that "too clean" look. Overall, totally playable but the font is just a tragedy.

Yeah same here. Don't care about 1-3 but I want to pick up 4 or 5 right now in addition to 6, then pick up the remaining one later. Not sure which one to pick up. I've played 4 years and years and years ago but never did play 5. Decisions.....

IMO 4 is better but then again it's also because I've only played 5 maybe once in my life via fan translation eons ago.

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

Is Trials 60fps? I may seriously get it if that’s the case. I have the Switch version, and I never completed it because I got it around the same time I bought an OLED TV. That game made me hate OLED, and it moved so bad on that TV that I never went back to it.

FF Pixel Remaster, sorry, but I’m not getting those on any system that isn’t portable.
