Why is everyone crying about the price at 20+ dollars? Isn't this basically a full final fantasy game and not a bunch of minigames like angry birds? Even at $30 dollar, it would still be at least $10 cheaper than a vita/3ds cart version. I agree with the others that small cheap mobile games are killing the industry.
Final Fantasy Tactics is a full final fantasy game. Or FF VII. Or FF III. And they're not 30$ in any device.
Also, the game can be very long, but the graphics are crap. Not "it's 2D old-school sprites" crap, it's amateur devianart graphics used as RPGMakers sprite crap. The graphics are bland and lack personality or detail. The scenarios are empty, repetitive and rushed. The characters seems to be done by an amateurish artist getting the 8bits sprites, scaling them and applying tons of blend filters.
Seems a low effort of a few guys of the iPhone port division done with the "generic Square 2D level editor" that they use for the FF 2D remakes. And, if we have to consider the previous original games that Square made for iPhone, it will be an expensive grindfest of random encounters with a few scenes each half an hour of grind.
Probably they will recover all the cost that they spent on this game within the first 1000 sales.
