Here's hoping it won't be obscenely priced.
Probably gonna be free with $15 IAP to unlock all chapters or something like that.
Maybe Apple certification issues... Guardian Cross' Japanese release got rejected thrice.
Or maybe they just wanted to time it with the event.
Yes.
I guess because of the Square Enix Market on Android in Japan. I suppose that means it won't be coming to Android in the west any time soon.

Free prologue and other chapters purchased separately, confirmed. Also some new screens.

It is not one full game? I mean, I will buy it anyways, but for how long it has been worked on I thought it would have a complete game.
The game was released as chapters originally in Japan for feature phones, just like FF4 The After Years. They're all done, but they're still charging per chapter with this version it seems. Just like FF4 TAY on WiiWare.

Looks like the old Final Fantasy games. Is it any good?
Pretty much nobody here has played it... but it has FFV's Job System so it can't be bad!

I see, I'm not a fan of that kind of business structure, but whatever.

$25 for 25 years!
Seriously if SE are gonna stick with sprites, give us fucking filter options! Chrono Trigger looks like butt on ios.

Wait, so is this really not gonna bother with an Android release at all? Smartphone gaming almost never interests me but I'd probably pick this up if it's not an iOS exclusive.
Very interested in it. Even if it looks like a bad up-res of an RPG Maker game, it has a lot of charm to me.
Sadly, I don't have my own iOS device yet. Me and my wife share an iPad so I might do that (if it's not like Tactics or Chaos Rings and isn't a Universal App), and get my own iPad Mini down the line if that rumor turns out to be true. Otherwise, my T-Mobile contract isn't over until July, and who knows? Maybe by then, they'll have ported it to the eShop or something.

They fooled me with this "Old School Final Fantasy" dance once already (The After Years), so I think I'll sit this one out.
It is, just not outside of Japan at the moment.
Seeing as how FFIII was recently released on Google Play and has been selling well, it doesn't rule completely out the option of it ever releasing there outside of Japan.

Will buy
I would be shocked if anybody here played the original version, considering it released after most people were already upgrading to smart phones.
Part of that was the fact it was tied down to being basically FFIV-2. I want something that's like a forgotten 16-bit title. But not only would that work better as a single purchase I imagine, but it seems they're redid the graphics for the iOS/Android version so it DOESN'T look like a forgotten 16-bit game anymore, but rather a cheap mobile cash in (which it really seems to be admittedly). Seems more like an idea I would've liked built for the ground up on GBA or DS, but we're past that now and they seem to have no interest in attempting it on anything beyond older Japanese cellphones anyway.
It was on display a E3. I looked at it and shuddered. I played some of SE-E's other mobile stuff though.
But The After Years was old school Final Fantasy? It had disgustingly high encounter rates that were all back attacks and ridiculously rare drops, even!
His point was that it wasn't a good game.
Just woke up and saw this.
Siliconera says this one is coming to Android devices, iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad on August 31. But, I guess they got it wrong, right? :/

Why shouldn't it be?
Well, it is coming to Android in Japan.
I liked After Years :/
I would have liked it a lot more if it had any sort of consistent balance.

Why shouldn't the game be worth 15$?
Ahh right, forgot about that. I thought this was about the English release only
Edit. Well, at least the NA page still shows "Android". Hope it isn't outdated -> http://na.square-enix.com/finalfantasydimensions

The words this brings to mind are "deviantArt" and "RPG Maker." Kind of embarrassing, honestly.
ULTROS!
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
And less recycled stuff.
I did like the multitude of characters plus the combination attacks.
