Final Fantasy I and II Are Coming To the iPhone and iPod Touch

Posted by Soulskill on from the go-red-wings dept.

jonasvdc tips an announcement by Square Enix that Final Fantasy I and Final Fantasy II are being developed for the iPhone and the iPod touch. The graphics and UI have been modified to look and run better on the touchscreen devices, but everything from Cecil to the classic Black Mage is clearly recognizable. The announcement did not include any information on a price or release date.

    SquareEnix re-released Final Fantasy IV outside of Japan on the DS as Final Fantasy IV, so that's what they're calling that now.

    Cecil is not in Final Fantasy II (as the numbering scheme now goes) so he's not clearly seen.

    I prefer to replace one of the fighters with a blackbelt. Not as powerful at the low levels, but he gets some incredible damage later in the game.

      You missed "Final Fantasy Origins", released on the PlayStation in 2003.

    We'd like a way to play this game on a console with bloodlines to the original, without having to resort to emulators to do so.
