Support NeoGAF

Wait. A typing game. For smartphones.
...Sigh.

Spoiler

Theatrhythm for Android please.

The dictionary will be filled with FF terms and references, and you can also do word combos and so on. There will be leveling up and ability systems, etc. Lots of classic FF characters will show up too.

Okay, now I'm at least a little curious. I'll just pretend it's a trivia game. If I can face Ultros in a battle of classic Summons trivia I would be happy.

 

[Jb]

Another exciting entry in the FF franchise.

 

[Shin Johnpv]

Ohhh how the once mighty have fallen.

 

[nico1982]

Well, I don't feel anything anymore...

 

[Kouriozan]

Square Enix, can you give us Dragon Quest Monster Super Light or you can't justify it too?

Anyway, I'd try this game if I could.

 

[mclem]

Silly Square. When people were asking for "Final Fantasy Type...", this isn't what they were going for.

(This could be good, but I fear it wouldn't have the delightful silliness that was found in The Typing Of The Dead, which really made that game work. Anyhow, the absurdity of a typing game on a device without a physical keyboard still makes me boggle somewhat.)

 

[Why would you do that?]

A typing game...? Well, at least since I have Android on my laptop, I can play it there.

 

[qualitydisc]

Final Fantasy Type Hero?

 

[Mesoian]

...wait a typing game for mobile?

So...will it support 3rd party keyboards?

 

[Busaiku]

Is this the first time they're giving Android priority?

 

[bigkrev]

This is the coolest sounding thing to come out of the JPN side of Square Enix since that Picross Final Fantasy game, which made me really sad. Hope this is better!

 

[Somnid]

You know the one thing that nobody likes doing on a smartphone? Let's make it a game!

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

... Alright then.

 

[MikeE21286]

Type to fight on an iOS device....


You've gotta be fucking kidding me

 

[Toki767]

After playing Typing of the Dead, I probably would have bought this if it were out on Steam.

[SuperDowns]

What a joke brand.

 

[Cornbread78]

Please be Excite!

The language maven Michael Quinion has written a column called World Wide Words for many years: http://www.worldwidewords.org/

Makes me want to go back and read some old entries again.

 

[kadotsu]

Will it have the standard PaD/Quiz RPG/DQ:SL wrapper or did SE go for something more innovative?

 

[Lumpy Onion]

I loved Typing of the Dead and Ys Typing so this seems fine by me. But I am worried about how the input will work on phone.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

Another exciting entry in the FF franchise.

lol perfect

 

[Rolodzeo]

SE, please, be autocorrected.

 

[L.O.R.D]

[Pinko Marx]

Next up! Final Fantasy Crossword Infinite Amygdala

 

[jWILL253]

Words with Summons.

 

[chrono01]

Given the title I kind of expected what this game would be about. Even still...

 

[wmlk]

SQUARE ENIX IS DONE. OMG

Spoiler

This pretty much sums up everyone here.

 

[Radogol]

I can't be excited for a FF game made for cellular. =(

Then you're missing out on Final Fantasy Dimensions which is straight up best FF in years.

 

[Wyndstryker]

So are they typing out the battle event console instead of the game doing it for you?

Game Start!
"Cloud uses Omnislash!"
"Omnislash hits Jenova for 5321 damage!"
"Barret uses Hi Potion."

 

[JetSetRadio]

FF announcement.
Release within 7 days.


hmmm

Can I use swiftkey?

I agree. Swiftkey or bust.

[Zoe]

I would totally play this if it worked on my US Nexus.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Gotta reuse those Theatrhythm assets somehow!

 

[botty]

Wow... they are still using the Kingdom Hearts chibi art style for these side projects?

Wow... they are still using the Kingdom Hearts chibi art style for these side projects?

These are ripped straight from the Theatrhythm games...so it's not like these are newly created assets, lol.

can i get this on pc where typing is actually 100% accurate

i wonder if phone autocorrect will end up interfering with this, unless there is a way for developers to disable it when their app is started

 

[Pancakes R Us]

Typing of the Final Fantasy? I'm only interested if the characters have keyboards strapped to their bodies.

If this game looks as fun as Typing of the Bread (get it if you don't have it), I'll get it!

 

[Why would you do that?]

On Android, I'm almost positive autocorrect is not a system / OS thing, but is actually a part of whatever on-screen keyboard app you use. Since a physical keyboard doesn't use or need a keyboard app, I believe autocorrect isn't even available for a physical keyboard.

If you want to use a physical keyboard, you can use a Bluetooth one, you can plug one into your USB port, or you can even use your PC's keyboard on your Android device over Wi-Fi with this app, which types everything you type in your PC's web browser on your phone.
