Square Enix has launched a broad discount campaign on the Nintendo eShop, featuring significant price reductions on major titles for the Nintendo Switch. According to data released by Project N, the promotion includes franchise staples such as Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, and Octopath Traveler, with deals remaining active until July 17 at 3:59 a.m. (Brasília time).
Which Square Enix titles are currently discounted?
The promotion covers a wide spectrum of the publisher’s library, ranging from high-profile remakes to cult-classic RPGs. Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade leads the discounts with a 65% price cut, bringing its cost down to R$ 80,46. Its successor, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, is also included, marked down by 40% to R$ 170,94.
Other notable titles in the sale include:
- Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven: R$ 124,75 (50% off)
- Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles: R$ 149,70 (40% off)
- Octopath Traveler 0: R$ 185,18 (35% off)
- Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake: R$ 194,93 (35% off)
- Dragon Quest VII Reimagined: R$ 237,93 (29% off)
Why are these remakes and collections trending?
The emphasis on HD-2D remakes and legacy collections signals a shift in how Square Enix manages its back catalog. By bundling titles like the Dragon Quest HD-2D Erdrick Trilogy, the publisher is catering to both nostalgic players and new audiences who may have missed the original releases. This strategy mirrors broader industry trends where developers leverage established intellectual property to maintain engagement during gaps between new hardware generations.
How does this sale compare to previous storefront events?
While seasonal sales are standard for the Nintendo eShop, this specific campaign stands out due to the depth of the discounts on the Final Fantasy series. A 65% discount on a title like Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is more aggressive than typical publisher-led rotations. Industry observers often note that these deep discounts are frequently used to build momentum for upcoming entries in a series or to clear digital “shelf space” for newer releases.
