Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Font Guide: How to Change the Font

The Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Series is finally available across Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4! These remasters cover Final Fantasy I all the way through Final Fantasy VI, featuring remastered art, music, and new boost options. While the remasters were originally released on PC and mobile devices last year, they were met with dissatisfaction from fans surrounding the font. For the console versions, this has been fixed and you are now able to change to a much better “pixel” font!

How to Change the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Font

When you load up the games, Square Enix has opted to keep the old font as the standard option. If you don’t change it to the new one, you’ll be stuck with this one throughout each of the games! Here is exactly how you can switch to the brand-new Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster font:

  • Select Options to head into the menu.
  • Select Configuration.
  • Here, you’ll need to drop down to “Font Style”.
  • Finally, switch the style to “Classic”, which is the pixel font new to the console releases.

That’s it! It really is easy to switch fonts in the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster games and recreate the iconic experiences that defined the NES and SNES eras. If you’re not a fan of the pixelated look, there’s always the option to keep it at “Modernized”! You can always head back to the settings following the steps above to change between the two at any point during your playthrough. These steps also hold true for all six of the games, so regardless of which Pixel Remaster you boot up, just head to the Configuration menu to change the font.

How to Change the Font on PC & Mobile

Unfortunately, as of the time of writing, there is no way to change the font on the PC & mobile versions of the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Series. Early adopters of these games unfortunately have no choice but to stick it out with the original, uglier font, or buy one of the new console versions.

The Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Series is available now across Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PC via Steam, and iOS/Android.
