Dive into Nostalgia: GOG Unleashes a Sale on Classic Square Enix Titles!
The ’90s were truly a golden age for JRPGs, all thanks to the groundbreaking titles released by Squaresoft on iconic consoles like the PS1 and Super Nintendo. Games like Final Fantasy VII, Secret of Mana, and SaGa Frontier didn’t just set the bar for RPGs—they became unforgettable experiences for many gamers, including myself.
Well, here’s some exciting news! GOG is hosting a fantastic Square Enix Publisher Sale that lets you snag some of these legendary titles for your PC at pocket-friendly prices. Running until June 6, this sale boasts discounts of up to 70% on 11 classic games from the beloved Final Fantasy, Mana, and SaGa series. And the best part? All these games are DRM-free, meaning you can download them and play anytime without needing to be logged into any launcher like Steam or the Epic Game Store.
If I were to highlight a must-have, it would definitely be Final Fantasy VIII Remastered. It’s an incredible opportunity to dive into one of Square Enix’s most imaginative RPGs, and it’s available for just $8 (approx. Rs 2,240), down from $20 (approx. Rs 5,600)! And that’s not all—there are four other Final Fantasy titles also up for grabs at discounted prices, including the 3D remakes of Final Fantasy III and IV, originally released on the Nintendo DS and PSP. Plus, you can get your hands on the PC versions of original classics like Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy IX HD. Notably, GOG’s version of FFVII comes remarkably close to the original experience.
The sale also marks a special occasion for fans of the Mana series, with two games now available on GOG for the first time! The Legend of Mana Remaster takes players on an enchanting quest to find the great mana tree. Originally released on PlayStation in 1999, it was celebrated for its stunning pixel art and an incredible soundtrack by Yoko Shimomura, who is also known for her work on Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy XV. This remastered edition comes with enhanced graphics and some quality-of-life improvements. And let’s not forget Trials of Mana, a full HD remake of the previously Japan-exclusive sequel to Secret of Mana, available for just $15 (approx. Rs 4,200) instead of $50 (approx. Rs 14,000).
But wait, there’s more! The sale isn’t limited to just Final Fantasy and Mana. You’ll also find remastered versions of several SaGa titles, including SaGa Frontier Remastered, which brings the 1998 PS1 classic back to life on modern platforms with fresh visuals and updates. Like other entries in the SaGa series, it offers a unique twist on typical RPG conventions of the time, letting you choose from eight different heroes for a non-linear adventure. This gem can be yours for only $12.50 (approx. Rs 3,500), down from $25 (approx. Rs 7,000)!
