No actually. Android has had bluetooth controller support for years. You can probably use a PS3 controller on what you have right now.
Let mobile games be mobile games will make less sense as time goes on. It's an increasingly powerful computer in your pocket with multiple input devices.... why not have real games on there?
Just get one of those controllers that clips on to your phone. They might be obscure now, but so were gamepads on PC at one point. Things will change. iOS7 having native controller support will make it a thing (even on Android).
And let me add Exhibit B: iPhone absolutely owns Japan right now. The Japanese mobile games are coming. Real games.

From the look of the game in the scan, it actually looks..... kinda good?!?!?
Well they said they wanted to make more console/handheld-esque games on mobile.

Could the thread title be any less clear?
Better?
iOS certainly is not cheap and Android can be all over the place (though the Nexus line is helping there), and in both cases tech still seems to be rapidly advancing so something you spent hundreds on just two years ago when it was cutting edge may be no good for whatever new game hits. It's kind of like with PCs versus Consoles: you spent a lot on PCs to have a cutting edge experience, but you want consoles for a stable, guaranteed experience, and smartphones right now are sort of like PCs pretending to be consoles. And without AS huge of an advantage either in inputs (at least for specific games in the case of PC) or technical power.
Mind, I think this is more applicable if it were actually Type-0 itself, where you have to wonder why a PSP game couldn't have gone 3DS/Vita and perhaps PSN/XBLA/eShop at least in addition. As an entirely new game, well, we'll see, though SE's kind of stupid as hell with how they approach Android.

It actually looks pretty good.
I'm just happy it's not a social card game. There's hope for Agito yet.

Phew, with Square actually making a good call with the new 3DS game, I was worried they had backed down from their iOS obsession. They had me worried for a second!....
I am cry.

I never know where to find wild scans anymore. : ( I'm so out of the loop.
If the game does turn out to be good, as much as I would love using it for serious internet debate list wars about how SE is or is not really doing all that bad these days, I would at least like to be able to play it, Square-Enix.

I would but the scan I found is too small to make out the actual article text.
I would play it if Izana was in it.
It looks like mostly the same cast.
I hope it at least plays well on the first Nexus 7. If it doesn't, well, that's my biggest problem with mobile even ahead of the button issue, it's like with late 90s PC hardware except it's taking the console developers I care about away rather than developers that were always dedicated to that platform anyway.
Doesn't say much considering the majority of information we've heard was from the prologue or from flashbacks, for Izana though.
More likely than Type-0 I guess.
the filed the name trademark on may.
Don't assume that this will be awful because it's on mobile. Final Fantasy Dimensions is great, both Chaos Rings games are pretty solid, and the iOS port of Final Fantasy Tactics is really well-done. I'd also argue that the iPad port of The World Ends With You is even better than the DS version.
Not every S-E mobile game is All The Bravest or *shudder* FF4: The After Years.

I love this gif, but it's one of the things I hated when playing the beta. No matter what emote you used they would go right back to looking completely indifferent.
But will it be localized is the real question.
Out of curiosity, have they not localized any of their notable iOS titles?
There's three Chaos Rings games!
(with a fourth one coming soon)
Hopefully, their iOS localization track record is really good.
I think there were a few Media Vision titles that got skipped over? I need to go check again.
It IS Final Fantasy though, so I figure it's more a question of "When" not "If", though I think if they can't be bothered to localize a high budget Final Fantasy title on the platform the whole world's going apeshit over then something is hopelessly FUBAR'd with SE.

Why should they? Everyone in America and Europe hate mobile games right?
It probably will.

Now... they could just announce a localization for this and, guess what, the real Type-0.
