It's been so long now and I haven't seen any new Console Style RPG games for iPhone. I hope someone already developing one since I am a huge fan of Final Fantasy, Chrono Series and Wild Arms
I think he's thinking more along the lines of Final Fantasy and less along the lines of Oblivion (though that game does indeed look awesome).
We are working on some. Old school 2D style FF Clones. This is what the Mouse House / BANG 2D engine was actually designed for long term.
I agree with the OP. I think Vay was sort of underappreciated, it's a really phenomenal game. It was a solid (although not mind blowing) RPG on the Saturn. But the way they integrated all the iPhone features seamlessly into the game instead of just straight porting it (ahem, Sega) is what I think really makes it stand out. There should def be more games like Vay on the app store. @TheBunny: Looking forward to see what you've got cooking
it's funny,we're the same,i also said those similar lines in a thread,i also mentioned final fantasy and chrono cross,except wild arms,i said suikoden,hahahahahah,although i also played wild arms,hope square enix or other good devs there will make a 3d one
No problem, i hope developer read this thread so they can start developing another console style rpg. Besides this is one of the reason why I can't call the iPhone/iPod Touch a gaming device yet. Square-Enix should make one, something like Crisis Core. Tap & Scroll would be so perfect on a Battle Scene.
Yes, Square-Enix should make another game for iPhone/iPod Touch. Since the 2 SquareEnix games doesn't really feel like final fantasy at all. I also love to see FF Tactics on iPhone/iPod Touch.
i agree with the OP 167% if any company makes a game like final fantasy i will buy it no matter the price... lol
Well if you don't mind the lack of walking around/exploration but still want a good combat system and good character interaction/writing check out TNA which is one of the best games I have ever played on the iDevice. Still though, I've beaten that game a couple of times almost and kinda want a real RPG on the iDevice. If square catches on they'll port something like Final Fantasy Anniversary Edition which I have been playing alot on my PSP lately or even Song Summoner which had alot of RPG elements. Otherwise we'll have to wait for an original one for the iPhone but idk how good that'd be. In the meantime I'm just using snes4iphone/NES to emulate the original FF games. And Sword of Mana on gpsphone. EDIT: I was just thinking and I think the Mother series would go PERFECTLY on the iPhone. Feels like it was just made for it almost. Good graphics, great gameplay, now all we need are some iDevice specific controls, very slight graphical updates (by which I mean just rounding off some edges so it looks a bit smoother) and you have the perfect iPhone game, especially with Earthbound. In the meantime, thank God for emulators...
Imagine if they port Crisis Core: Final Fantasy or even the latest one, Final Fantasy Dissidia. It would be so amazing.
Dude I know... Crisis core has to be the best portable game EVER made. There is no argument. And it would be the best game EVER if it weren't for the original Metal Gear Solid. And as far as Dissidia, I got it a few days after it came out, and it is amazing. Unfortunately, I don't think they'd work on the iDevice. Only the 3GS would be able to run it, making it a HUGE disappointment to everyone else. And we'd get lucky if we could even do that much at a good framerate. Both games have flat-out amazing graphics, with CC having graphics on par with many PS2 games, and same goes for Dissidia. I think a better decision would be to go with something like FF Aniversary Edition, which would definetly be reasonable, although quite a large filesize. In the meantime, you may want to stick to playing those on the system they were meant for.
I remember playing Crisis Core the first time... It kills a lot of PS2 games. Best portable game I have played except the World Ends With You, both were epic. But Square Enix needs to stop playing around and make a real game for the App Store or a anniversary colection would be nice too.
ha that reminds me of that family guy with the feety pajamas "here is a blank piece of paper with my name on it. write down any amount and i will pay it."
Omg dude... they need The World Ends With You. That game is probably the second most epic portable game ever (Crisis Core is number 1) and I'm not even halfway through it yet. I think I got to like day 2 or 3. It's been a while. But this would work too perfectly on the iPhone, using the touch controls to control your dude (lol I forgot his name...wow) and having on screen buttons to touch to control the girl (again... i forgot. lol). All they would need is a small button in the corner of the screen to switch characters. The screen wouldn't even need to change much, just switch control of characters (both could be shown on screen) and the HUD could change. It would work too well. And agreed, Square really needs to take the Appstore seriously. The only serious game they made was for the click wheel iPod.
And it's just called TNA wrestling. it should be a dollar and made by longtail studios if its the game im thinking of.
