Slowly but surely, iOS and Android devices are seeing full-length, well-received titles hit the platform that have more in common with established consoles than what we think of as "phone gaming."
Square-Enix has finally, after much delay, released the classic strategy RPG, Final Fantasy Tactics, for iOS today. You can purchase the app at the app store for $15.99 and the game is set to release on iPad later this month.
Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions is finally launching on the iOS this Thursday. The game will retail for $15.99 after many setbacks. See you on the grid.
"The PSP has - despite what some people insist - a seriously impressive library of great titles, especially RPGs.

That's an interesting reason for the increase of remake talk, but SE fans hope they do...
"The allure just isn't there anymore for the Final Fantasy titles and we have to ask why. Loyal fans try to create hype, but the games are just not combining new and old expectations. Maybe it's because every game, we have to warm up to new characters and worlds. Square sets itself up for hit and miss titles with no character regularity. The only motif running through the series I can identify is a blond guy and clueless protagonists. Most of the recent Final Fantasy games (dare I say Square ..."
