I have had such an itch to play a fast paced, addictive 3x3 grid based competitive strategic card game like the one in Final Fantasy 8. I think $2.99 would be a perfect price point for most players so long as that entry fee allows all players access to an even playing field without the need for an IAP store. Does anyone know if there are any companies out there with such a game in the works?
Triple Triad is just a shallow minigame in a bad JRPG. iOS has no need of such crap when far superior card games like Magic 2013, Ascension, Nightfall and Shadow Era (just to name a few) already exist. But don't worry. No matter how lame your idea is, Square Enix will come out with something much worse in comparison.
I know of two clones, Elementimals and Souls TCG. I think triple triad is one of the best ever mini games in any rpg.
