    I don't know how many times this has been asked, but I've been wondering about Square Enix's enthusiasm for iOS. I've been looking for a sign of more FF ports, or games like Chaos Rings designed specifically for iOS. I saw that they recently ported Lara Croft, but I don't really know if that implies a serious continued interest in iOS or not.

    The recent Secret of Mana port and upcoming Final Fantasy Tactics port seem to imply interest to me.

    I've never played Tactics. Is it a remake, or a port of the old game?

    My favorites either 7 or 12, but they'll never happen on iOS.

    The most we can hope for are ports of the 2d FF games.

    The rights to a ton of FF games are held by Sony, so they won't happen on iOS.

    Ugh. I didn't know that.

    But that's not the case with FF3 and FF4, right?

    I don't know, But I do know that Sony controls FF7, which is the only game anyone seems to care about.

    I care more about 9, but if they control 7, then that would apply at least to the rest of PS1 games. But I'm hopeful we'll get 3 to 6 at least, unless 3 and 4 are held by Nintendo, since they were remade on the DS.

    I think we were lucky to get 1 and 2.

    My favorite is 7 first, because it's the first FF game I've played and it's just fun. And 12 next, cause it was one of the best ps2 RPGs, great graphics, long story, unique combat system.

    I can see iOS getting 3, 4 maybe. But as much fun as they were, I can play them on an emulator, pc, psp, iPad. I'd rather see new games made for the hardware, not ports.

    exactly. FF series is great but we would like see more original titles for ios platform. Voice fantasy is not bad but lacks depth. hope SE could do something.

    So, according to a post in the FFT thread by Yodaliu who referenced a scanned image from a Japanese magazine, he said that FF3 is being released this Spring for iOS. Its generated a lot of responses (especially from me) and I thought about opening a new thread on this but since I knew about this thread I figured I would post about it here. I'm not sure this is the best way to "cross post" between threads, but the FFT thread this starts is on page 27 of the "Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions" thread here:

    http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=58001&page=27

    Sure wish we had more information on this...

    EDIT: Disregard the above info as a nice mod moved all the comments about FF3 from the FFT thread to a new thread (yay).

    FFVii plays on iOS through an emulator. On my iPhone 4 it runs at full speed and is very playable.

    As long as they bring FF4 and FF6 as basically Super Nintendo ports I will be happy. I do not want the insanely difficult versions that Japan seems to like. Excellent controls would be welcome, enhanced 2D graphics, and a save anywhere at anytime feature would all be appreciated updates.
