Final Fantasy VII Released for IOS today
« on: August 21, 2015, 06:00:15 AM »
As the title states, Final Fantasy VII was Released for IOS today. It is awesome on the iPad. The Graphics are about the same as the original on the PS1, but the resolution of the iPAD screen makes it look a bit better.

You can purchase the game for $19.99 at the Apple Store.

If you've never played it, it's one of the best RPG's ever IMO, if you have played it, it is great to have on IOS (You can also get it for PC)

I played XI a long time ago, just took too long to run around and progress.  VII seems like the sweet spot in the lineup that everybody loves?

Not sure what's the point of releasing FFVII on iOS now when a remake is officially in order... if I were to introduce FF7 to someone who's never played it, I'd just tell them to wait for the remake.

Still, simply one of the best JRPG's ever made along with FFVI, FVIII and Chrono Trigger. The latest FF games have been, well, let's say we'd really like to have Mr. Sakaguchi and Uematsu back.

Well, you would have to have a ps4 or maybe a pc to play the remake. Lots of people have iOS devices that might not want to purchase a ps4.

Yeah VII is good, but I'd say VI was better and chrono trigger is better than both ;) all of them are available on iOS too

Copy/pasta what I wrote elsewhere (some of this will be out of context):

Ew, Advent Children? :( FF7 is my favorite game of all time, probably, but...no, not that movie. And I'm worried about the remake given it's all in Nomura's hand. I don't care for the way he handles things as of late. Having him in a smaller role, like character designer, is about as far as I want to take it.

And they did say it will be a full remake. Potentially even down to an entirely different battle system. I'm worried about it. Am also not sure what to think of XV based on the demo, but it has potential.

I think FF6, FF7, and Chrono Trigger are sort of on the same level. Comes down more to preference. I loved them all, though I never actually finished 6. Something about the grungy atmosphere of Midgar and the whole FF7 OST just captivated me like those two games did not.

I agree! I loved FF6. It was my first introduction to the series. Sabin performing pile-drivers on certain bosses was immensely fun. 2 gut-wrenching decision points that were like "WTF!?!" Chrono Trigger, for me, was a bit too large. So many paths and so many endings. I totally understand why people consider it one of the best games on the SNES/SuperFamicom. I just don't like long replay games. FF7, the first polygonal FF and on a "new" storage media, was like a bigger FF6, but somehow not too big. The FMVs, at the time, were so realistic, I tried to rip and save them for rewatching.

Never played XI, but FF9, the last of the "old-style", was the same way. At the first city, you get like 20 quests, MogNet quest, etc. I really wanted to enjoy it as it was not moody like FF7 & FF8, but just too overwhelming!

I don't think I've ever finished a single Final Fantasy game (at least from the numbered titles), but I made it the furthest on FFVII. For some reason, no matter which game it is, I always hit some unexplainable level wall that I can't move past. I can never figure out why random encounters are suddenly killing me when I was overleveled during the section before.
