FFVI Coming To iOS & Android, Maybe FFVII??

Little did I know, Final Fantasy I to V is already available as an app on mobile. It looks like Square Enix is going to add to their collection this winter with Final Fantasy VI (originally released in North America in 1994 as Final Fantasy III). But it won’t be a straight port.

It will be designed to pretty much carbon copy the original game, only built for mobile apps. Of course, they’re making a few enhancements…

2D graphics are still present, but they’ve been sharpened. Battle modes for leveling up have been changed so you don’t have to fight so much and instead just enjoy the game.

Also in the works for Square Enix to release this winter will be a mobile port of Final Fantasy 4: The After Years, which is a 3D remake of the original release.

When long-time Square director and producer Takashi Tokita was asked if the Legacy series would continue with mobile versions of FFVII and beyond, he responded with, “We are aware that we have tons of VII fans, we have VII fans in our own company. If this Legacy project works out well, we would like to one day be able to work with VII.”

Being a long-time fan of VII myself who has maxed out my save game time at 99 hours, I can see myself saying goodbye to what little social life I have left if this comes to fruition…
