Square-Enix announces a huge 22-disc anniversary set will be released to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Final Fantasy series although there is a small catch.

Every game from the main series (FF 1 to 13) will be included along with a special video disc, visual art collection, 2-disc soundtrack, and a few other things.

The set also celebrates the series history on the Playstation platform with a retail price of about $446 although it will only be released in Japan baring a future worldwide release announcement.

Now for the actual catch to the collection, Square-Enix is releasing the games (except 1) on the actual format they were originally released on for the PlayStation brand. The PS1-only era games are multiple disc games while the PSP remake can only be played on a PSP handheld.
