Four Final Fantasy games arrive DRM-free on GOG, now on sale

On January 29 GOG announced four Final Fantasy games are now available to buy and play on its PC storefront, the first time any games from Square Enix’s popular RPG franchise have appeared on GOG.

The newly added titles and their sale prices are: Final Fantasy III (3D Remake) – $6.40 ($16); Final Fantasy IV (3D Remake) – $6.40 ($16); Final Fantasy VIII – Remastered – $8 ($20); and Final Fantasy IX – $8.40 ($21).

GOG said these entries "represent different eras of the series," a description that Kotaku noted helps explain the scattershot selection of which games arrived first.

All four Final Fantasy RPGs on GOG are part of the store’s Good Old Games preservation program, which GOG says ensures they will work on modern PCs for years to come even if Square Enix removes them from sale or doesn’t want to update them. "Few video game series have shaped the medium quite like Final Fantasy," GOG wrote in a news post announcing the release.

All four Final Fantasy games are available now, and Kotaku's article says the writer expects more titles will be added in the future.
