If they are doing such a effort for mobile, I am sure we are going to get them later on consoles/handhelds as downloadable games. This is Square Enix after all.

Again, how much more of a risk to a big company than a risk that many indies are willing to take? I just don't get it.

This is a genre stuck in 90s and doesn't help if they keep limiting it by hardware. Hopefully Ff15 changes the trend and jRPGs go back to be a bit more ambitious than now, with hardware that can actually supports that of course.

Well, he pretty much shot #2 dead with #1.
I'll just wait for the Elder Scrolls 6: Camel Lights.

Artstyle is pretty good.
I wonder if they'll eventually release this game on PS Vita/3DS (assuming it's not F2P).

It's nice to see Square branching out to other platforms. Hopefully this trend continues.
Don't do the "PM for pics" shit. Just don't.
Graphics and image boards look really good. The battles kinda remind me of the way Infinity Blade looks. Definitely an expensive effort for a mobile title. This doesn't look anything like the previous retro-style games. It's full 3D and high quality.

I'm one of those old hoots that doesn't have a smartphone, lol.
Hope it comes to consoles eventually, because it does sound interesting.

Something about the background concept art in the game, and the character design for who I assume is the Warrior of Light reminds me a lot of Final Fantasy XIII, or maybe I have the game fresh from having recently played it on PC? Not that I think that's bad. Graphically the game also looks close to FFXIIII it seems. Still, I hope this isn't FF Infinity Blade since SE already tried that with Bloodmasque more or less, yet the automated movement makes me suspicious. Still, I'm optimistic, more FF on iOS is always a good thing to me, I just hope this isn't F2P.

Me too ;(
But I just can't see them making such an effort and then ignoring the tradional gaming devices.
Yeah the art boards remind me a lot of FFXIII too. It's definitely not just you. The character design doesn't really look like FFXIII though, I think it's just how the CG looks, which has a very standard Visual Works style on the characters, regardless of the character designer.

Final Fantasy Brave Exvius

I like how SQEX is not able to think outside extremes. First, exploitation of the IP on PS2; then on DS / PSP; now on mobile.
With retro-style he's referring to the graphical style of those games.
Additionally this year they've released Final Fantasy VII: G-BIKE, Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (mobage, quite successful financially), and there's some kind of Final Fantasy from GREE I forget (though that's not out quite yet IIRC).

Is this a console/handheld/vita/3ds Final Fantasy single player game?

So, Kitase is the Producer. Nojima, the writer. People from numbered games are working on it.
But who's the director? Don't tell me it's... him.

Return to the roots? Again? And the theme is Warriors of Light?
Don't we have this already?
.
Ugh I have a love/hate relationship with this game. I love how it looks and some general game ideas like the crowns, but why oh why did it have to have such a shit combat system. Whose genious idea was it that the player would just pick commands and the game would decide the targets?
I hope you can at least have full control during the battles in this one.

yep very Kamikokuryo style

Kill me if they're wasting all their available staff key membes on this crap -.-'
"He" must be working on a PS4/ONE title >.< I demand it!
I wonder why they didn't show this on the FF for Smartphones 2015 showcase thing, is the game not planned for 2015? Or maybe it's such a big game they decided it needed its own thing on Jump Festa or something... This is the seemingly first big FF game for smart devices that's not a port or remake after all.

As long as they keep him off FFXVI and he doesn't have a big say in the story, so be it. With Nojima writing the story, I see no problem having him direct.

Because as you imply is just a marketing tool to trick the audience. "automated" map already smells shit.

The thing is... I want him to direct FFX-3. I'm being honest here.
He must not be forgotten.

if this game is successful i expect a mobile "numbered entry" is inevitable.

I'm OK with him doing this game.
As long as it's not Ito....Ito needs to be in charge of XVI!

Plus, um, THIS?
Oh well, if people actually want it, well, ok go ahead.
Anything that gets us more games like Final Fantasy 1-6, and less like Final Fantasy 7+, is good by me.
