Geekscape Mobile: ‘Final Fantasy VI’ Hitting iOS and Android This Winter!

Briefly: Just yesterday it was revealed that Square-Enix is bringing the first eight titles in the Dragon Quest series to mobile, and now they’ve announced the next Final Fantasy port.

Final Fantasy VI (originally released in North America as Final Fantasy III because apparently we didn’t deserve all of the titles back in the day) will launch on iOS and Android devices this Winter.

Like the recently released Final Fantasy V, the mobile launch of VI will still feature the classic 2D sprites, albeit a “sharpened” version to better fit the high-res screens and powerful chipsets of today’s devices. As in the previous titles, controls will be reworked for touchscreens, and they’ll feel great.

Perhaps the most interesting piece of the reveal is what the future may bring for mobile Final Fantasy titles. When Kotaku asked what the future holds, producer Takashi Tokita stated that “We are aware that we have tons of VII fans. We have VII fans in our own company. If this Legacy project works out well, we would like to one day be able to work with VII.”

Could we one day be playing Final Fantasy VII on our smartphones?

Have you been keeping up with the mobile Final Fantasy rereleases? Which has been your favourite so far? Sound out below (mine is probably the DS port of Final Fantasy III, now THAT was a remake)!
