Final Fantasy III Coming To iOS
According to a new official page, Final Fantasy III is following the example of Final Fantasy I & II by releasing on iOS...and you could be playing it soon.
The third installment is basically the runt of the Final Fantasy litter. This isn't the Final Fantasy III you may have played on Super Nintendo (that one is actually Final Fantasy VI). This version never released in North America in its original form; most of us only got our hands on this game for the first time in 2006 with a DS remake.
That raises an interesting question with the iOS version: Will it be more like the DS remake, or more like the enhanced sprite versions of FF I & II on iOS (pictured below)? I'm hoping for the latter, since I'd love to experience this game closer to the old-school vibe of the original version.
The Japanese page lists a release date of March 2011. There's no English site for the iOS version yet, but since FF I and II both successfully made their way to the app store in English, North American gamers can probably plan on playing the game before long.
