Final Fantasy I and II coming to iPhone, iPod Touch
A few weeks ago Hironobu Sakaguchi, famous for his hand in creating Square's Final Fantasy in 1987, remarked that his new company, Mistwalker, was working on a "project for iPhone." I'm not sure re-releasing Final Fantasy I and II on the iPhone and iPod Touch was what he meant. But that's exactly what Square Enix is doing, as quietly announced today on their Facebook page. It hasn't even popped up on Square Enix' official iPod Web site. That is literally all of the information I have; mum's the word on pricing and release date. If you're interested, I can only pass on a message from Square: "Stay tuned!" But, hey, if you're feeling frustrated by the lack of tangible info, take comfort in the fact that the iPhone versions of Final Fantasy I and II feature some absolutely gorgeous sprites. For my tastes, they look remarkably better than the Dawn of Souls versions, and almost as good as the PSP re-releases from a few years ago. Look at some screenshots here. Discerning fans will notice that the user interface has been tweaked to account for the iPhone and iPod Touch's screens, which is a nice touch. Most complaints about the iPhone have to do with the often-janky controls, but I don't think it'll be a problem for old-school turn-based affairs. All you have to do is select options from a menu. I don't have an iPhone, but I have to admit that I'm kind of miffed that I just started a Final Fantasy II game on the PlayStation's Final Fantasy: Origins. Serves me right for being a late adopter, I guess. FINAL FANTASY and FINAL FANTASY II for iPhone/iPod touch [Square Enix DLG via @brandonnn] Did you know?

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)I'd definitely pick this up if the price is right. I've been wondering why there are no turn based RPGs on the iPhone. I've the GBA re-issue of 1 and 2 in my Game Boy Micro right now, which is always in one jacket pocket. I'm set. ive got the psp, gba, original and probably other versions of this game.... but ill buy it again. FUCK YOU SQUARE awesome, more proof that SE don't mind remaking the olds FF, my hopes for a FF7,6,8,9 remake are starting to rise again I've had a snes emulator on my iphone for a year or more, but I'll probably still buy it again to see if they changed anything. I actually wouldn't mind it if they remade a few of the older FF games with a current generation graphics engine. Especially FF3(US) SQUARE ENIX. LISTEN TO ME. I AM THE ALL KNOWING ALL SINGING ALL DANCING VOICE OF YOUR FANBASE. I AM THE METAJRPG-er.
IPHONE = FINAL FANTASY TACTICS THAT IS ALL. Bout freaking time. Every since SE put out the subpar "Crystal Defenders" tower defense game, I've been buying their apps in a seemingly vain attempt to convince the company that putting Final Fantasy games on the iPhone would be profitable. Here's hoping that FFVI will come out sooner rather than later at the app store. final fantasy I is now on the list of things, along with doom, linux and tetris, that have been ported to fucking everything ever I think the iPhone is fine for RPGs. It's not like you need to do any complex jumping puzzles or precise movements or anything. It's a bunch of menus. 1:20 PM on 04.13.2013 Citizens, unite: vote Mike Haggar[Another gem from Destructoid's Golden Archives, this our most popular story of April 2008] As you’ve no doubt been following the prospective U.S. presidential nominees, you must be asking yourself several question...
