Final Fantasy Tactics is out for iPad photo

Final Fantasy Tactics has been getting smaller and smaller lately with all the portable versions. I suppose this new iPad version is also small, but that big ol' tablet screen will let you have a better look at the action. And it does look a bit nicer, as you'll see in these new screenshots. For a game that was first released in 1997, this is still a great looking game.

For those that had issue with the play speed of the iPhone version, know that the early word is that this iPad version fixes some of those issues. If you've picked this up, let us know if you see any slow down issues.

Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions for iPad is available now for $17.99.

Oh shit, "War of the Lions" is a port of the original? I saw it in the PSN store on my Vita last night and thought it was a sequel or something. I might have to get it now.

That pricing.
I know it's hard to argue when you know the quality's there, but I got Great Little War Game HD for free on iOS during a FAotD giveaway, and for 10 cents on Android. I know it's hardly the same, but it does enough to scratch that strategy itch.

Might be worth it to wait for a holiday sale or something, when they'll drop it down to... 9.99.

This game... I never got around to play FFXII because I wanted to beat this game first. Isn't the PS3 version $5?

LOL 18 dollars. I know I probably sound like one of those snobs that scoff at any ipad game that isn't 99 cents, but there is just too much competetion for Square enix to charge that much for what is effectively almost 100% profit.

Why does SquareEnix have to price their stuff so high? 'Cause I'd totally buy this at $10.

If I had an iPad 17 bucks wouldn't be such a big deal. Because I would've managed to have an iPad...Actually no. That's unacceptable.

One of my favorite games, but will probably wait till it hits $10

$18? I know some people will pay that, but I am not one of them. I guess if they put it on sale at $10, we'll be thankful instead of clamoring for $5.

So it's 8 dollars more than the PSP version that I already have. No thanks!

Does it fix the slowdown problems War of the Lions had on PSP? Content-wise WoL is definitely better than the original but the PSP really chugged later in the game when you were regularly pulling out the graphic intensive spells.

On the list for upcoming features, they mention a battle fast-forwarding option - that would be an awesome improvement, especially for people replaying the game (which is pretty much everyone). I'll wait until that comes out

$17.99 sounds like an odd price.. And thats not even before you get to the part where its less money for other platforms.

Any word on if they fixed the save crashing bug that's present on the iPhone version? That killed the entire experience for me and made me stop playing, despite how much I enjoyed it.

I have bought this damn game too many stinking times. It's like this penny that keeps turning up in my coat pocket. Everywhere I look there is a device or a physical copy of this game laying around.

Anyone else suffer from a similar form of brain insanity when it comes to this game in all its many flavors?

Despite FFT being totally awesome, 18 bucks is a whole lot o money. I would rather get Nintendo DS FF Tactics which is also awesome.

Okay Square, you've released enough versions of Final Fantasy Tactics already--can we get Tactics Ogre ported to ANY device other than a PSP? C'mon. ...3DS, iOS, something? Please?

...please?

Tactics Ogre is a better game IMO. Now that, I might be somewhat tempted to pick up on iPad.

The psp version is the best version. That was clear when the iphone version launched. Slow down, bad controls, glitches made it very bad

Made when Square used to be cool. This game deserves a major console sequel, but will it ever happen? No.

I still have my PSX version (white!), and I have the PSN version of the original. Still fun to play my end game that has WELL OVER 99:99:99 play time on it. I have the WotL on my PSP and I HATE the slowdown factor. As cool as the updated translation and other bonus attached to WotL, they should have FIXED all the damn bugs in WotL when they released it on PSN let alone the App Store on the iPhone. If they didn't fix it for iPad, tell- what would be the effin' point? Do I want it for iPad- yes, but I won't get one until this summer. Hopefully by then, Square will have fixed the bugs that plagues the so called best version... you can't even call it that with so my bugs and glitches! *FFT original on PSPgo, here I come...*
