I think I need an iPhone now. Looks great.
Because Dimensions wasn't made for iOS or Andriod. It's a port of a game made for imode devices. They probably couldn't do 3D or handle the Final Fantasy III engine.

That looks awful on every front. I swore that the original Japanese version looked better!
FF has inspired so many RPG Maker games, didn't know the reverse could happen...

Seriously SE?
and this was final fantasy on PSP.
everything about this game just screams lazy, shitty effort.

I didn't say it looked like a good Flash game.

Your screenshot seems more artistically consistent than what SE put up

LOL awesome.
They better offer a full pixelated mode, because this inconsistent crap (and how nasty the smoothing looks anyway) is awful.

FF1 and 2?
Those released over 2 years ago and they still constantly pop up in the top 25 RPG section of the app store. Their ability to not fall off the face of the earth for 2 years is pretty impressive I'd say. They probably made some nice money on it in the long run but we'll never know.
I tend to agree though, I wish they would do something really awesome. FF dimensions will probably be really cool, though, despite the horrible art.
Drakerider sounds like it has the potential to be something really awesome.

So it is that cell phone game from Japan.
The filter and UI they are using are hideous, but I at least we're getting it in English.

Personally I was a HUGE fan of Chaos Rings but I was talking something old-school FF like similar to Dimensions except original and FF1/2 remake type art. Square has put some cool stuff on iOS though imo.
Good work, can't unsee that now XD

SE sure does love using that ugly ass font for their old school HD stuff.
The original version wasn't particularly good looking (SE apparently forgot how to make 2D maps at some point), but at least it owned up to what it was. This is just hideous on every level.

Am I so wrong in thinking that if Square-Enix:
it could probably be extremely successful?
- Made an original "FF" game in 2D for iOS
- Aimed for an FF4 level of content
- Used it as an opportunity to try out new, up-and-coming artists, directors, and composers
- Put a modicum of effort into making it look decent, given the platform
- Sold it for $10
it could probably be extremely successful?
I did that once after some taco bell.
Maybe 15 with no filter and a new font.
Old school looking with new school mechanics turn or ATB based games can and should do well on smartphones. Is there anyone that can still make those types of games compelling without breaking the budget and are they at SE?
Thing is this doesn't seem TOO bad, they just took a shit on it in porting, seemingly ignoring that, hey, we're also nostalgic for the original look! Though they did this with FFIV: The After Years and that didn't have any filter options.
SE can be really dumb/frustrating at times. 16-bit visuals don't need to be a Japanese phone exclusive!

I want to see it moving before I write it off.
Also, how was the original game in terms of story and mechanics?

So their epic plan now is to stick FINAL FANTASY game on anything they do to sell it?
WOW.... remember guys the old days when we used to hype the sh*t of ourselfs when they announce a new FF game and how HQ it was!!?
Seems like forever away...

Yeah, the original mobile phone version I posted up there didn't look bad, and the iOS/Android Japanese port looked really good.I agree.
How the heck does the English version look so poor? D:

Shoddy port issues aside looks like it should be a fun game.

I agree. If it was more pixelated it would look better. Still the art style and choose of colours are terrible. I am still hyped for a classic FF style game aslong as the battle system is solid.
The battle music is very nice but not the rest of the tracks I have listened.

Job system? Bought. That said, I'd probably buy a straight port of Atari 2600 Pong if they slapped on the FFV job system.

This is the next gen engine SE was talking about today!
I'm always interested in more mobile RPGs but geez. I actually feel like you have to go out of your way to make something look this bad. I expect more from SE on the visual department, even if it's just a port (vaseline-filter CT notwithstanding, the current version of FFT on iOS looks great).
I honestly think we'll get there. Probably $15 though.
