Square Enix has recently announced on social media two milestones for the Final Fantasy series.

First, Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series has sold over 5 million copies worldwide. And second the Final Fantasy series has sold over 200 million copies across the globe! "Wherever you joined us on our adventures, thank you.", the message ends.

Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster is a collection containing Final Fantasy I-VI 2D remastered. It has been announced in June 2021 during Square Enix Presents Summer Showcase and the first three Final Fantasy games were released in July 2021 on Steam and mobile platforms. Later also the other three games were released and also the games have been released on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox Series X/S.

It all began in 1987. Square was almost on the edge of going out of business after releasing several unsuccessful games for the Famicon (NES). Hironobu Sakaguchi developed a game based on Enix's Dragon Quest and named it Final Fantasy, while it might be the last game Square would be developing. The game became a massive success.

Square Enix has recently launched a global portal website for the Final Fantasy series called Final Fantasy Portal Site. On the website you can find the latest news and videos of the Final Fantasy series.

You can access Final Fantasy Portal Site via the domain www.finalfantasy.com. This domain has a long history. In 1999 it hosted the website of Square USA Inc., a subsidiary of Square Co., a company focused on computer generated, animated feature film. In 2001 they released Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. finalfantasy.com was the official website of the movie. After a few years nothing was left of that website and they redirected it to the official website of Square Enix. You can check if out for yourself on the Wayback Machine.
