Challenge Mode is a new entry on the title screen of FINAL FANTASY (Pixel Remaster). Skip straight to the boss fights and take on tougher versions of all eleven bosses, from Garland to Chaos.
How it plays
Pick any boss: Garland, Bikke's Pirates, Astos, Vampire, Lich, Marilith, Evil Eye, Kraken, WarMech, Tiamat and Chaos are all open from the start.
Build your party of four: choose each member's class, weapon, armor and spells. You only get what you could have by that point in the story (shops reached, treasure found, spell levels, class change), and your party is at a matching level. The best loadout is already picked, so you can also just press Fight.
Bosses with new twists: more HP and power, plus second phases with new attacks, counters to your spells or blows, enrage timers and minions joining the fight. Each boss shows its twists before you start.
Track your progress: beaten bosses get a mark on the list.
After each win or loss you return to the boss list to tweak your party and try again.
Your game saves are never touched. Challenge Mode uses your own copy of the game for all of its characters, monsters, art and music.
