Just wondering, how long does the battery last running a PSX emulator? I bet the M8 gets hot as hell. I mean, emulation is a heavy task even for my macbook.

Soon his beloved phones will be SD card free... and if he cared, he would have jailbroken and installed an emulator. Android people coming to MacRumors to comment.... hahahaha, this is my morning comedy.

Every time a Final Fantasy game is released I can't help but laugh.

I thought they said it was "Final". I mean it has Final right in the name, you'd think it would end. And if it's just a continuation of the one "Final" Fantasy then why change the numbers?

But then I seem to have a weird take on things.:D

I hear ya, but the whole thing started back with the original "Final Fantasy" being what Squaresoft thought was going to be their "final" game before bankruptcy. Turned out the creator thought to make it an epic story, make a grand adventure where the player built his characters, and introduced the classes system. He called it "Final Fantasy" as it would be his last game at Squarsoft, but it was a massive hit, bringing the company back from the grave. And now we have game XV coming very soon!

WTF... The game supports the iPad 3 but not the 5/5C despite the fact that those phones have less pixels, much less screen resolution, a 4 inch screen (compared to 9.7 inch) and a better processor than the iPad 3. Yes they have a tri core processor compared to the iPad which has the same GPU but one core more but that's nothing really.

Just surprised that's all.

This game should be able to run on the original iPhone/iPhone 3G easily, never mind the iPhone 5

John Carmack once famously said the original iPhone/iPhone 3G was more powerful than the "PSP and Nintendo DS combined"

(The PSP was able to run PS1 emulated games with ease)
 
they should really remaster it. I replayed it on my PS1 just last month. and those blocky characters are just sooo bad...hahaha.

oh i didn't know this. that's a cool story. thanks :)
 
When one is playing using a MFi controller, do the touch controls still show up in the game?
 
IMHO, I always thought that the Final Fantasy series was kind of lame? Is this version really that spectacular—do we collectively feel that it's worth it?

4GB install, so that 50% of the space available to most 16GB iphone users after the OS eats up a ton of space and you install one other app. I see many unhappy people in the near future..

Ill keep running my PS1 emulator from my 128GB SD card on my HTC One M8.. so glad i dropped iPhone as my phone of choice.. Ill come back, if they add an SD card slot, until then, nope.

Or maybe learn how to use iOS and clear that photo roll... Magic a lot of free space! Import back the photos if you want with iTunes and you save 70% space
 
These. These right here are true App Store games.

Not the freemium cesspool of trashwar--I mean, "games" you find on the Top Free or Top Paid sections.

Totally worth $16 for what it has. Fantastic series. For those that say that it's overpriced, then you haven't played any of the Final Fantasy games or haven't learned to appreciate them.

Stuff like that is why I hope they add MFI controller support in a later update. Did the earlier FF releases get controller support with updates?

It does have MFi support (you still need to turn off the overlay manually / can't at this point disable the Encounter & control buttons at the bottom of the screen). For some reason SE didn't deem that information worth listing.

No controller support and charging $16 is pretty absurd. Cool game, but no thanks.

*I'm going off of comments and the fact hat MFI isnt listed on the app store descriptions, seem to be conflicting reports of controller support.

As stated above, I can vouch for it having controller support.

Definately on of my top ten childhood games. Playing the first couple of notes from the Aeris theme in Garageband still giving me gooosebumps. The storyline was awesome and the soundtrack was and still is among the best in any game I've played back then and 15 years later. Not sure millenials would enjoy it tho you had to be there at the time, playing it on the Super Nintendo back in the days, pretty much like many of my generation never enjoyed the Beatles the way people did at their time.

Considering all the flagship Android phones are coming out sans SD card, you might be disappointed when it is time to a new one....
 
I loved FFVII back in the day.

However I would recommend these releases from yesterday over it:

$3.99 Galactic Keep By Gilded Skull Games
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/galactic-keep/id971788369?mt=8&ign-mpt=uo%3D4
Free PAC-MAN 256 - Endless Arcade Maze By BANDAI NAMCO
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pac-man-256-endless-arcade/id1002340615?mt=8&ign-mpt=uo%3D4
$2.99 Horizon Chase - World Tour By Aquiris Game Studio
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/horizon-chase-world-tour/id991018252?mt=8&ign-mpt=uo%3D4
$2.99 Demon's Rise By Rajpreet Dhillon
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/demons-rise/id951205464?mt=8&ign-mpt=uo%3D4
$4.99 Dungeon of the Endless By Amplitude Studios
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/dungeon-of-the-endless/id893923668?mt=8&ign-mpt=uo%3D4
 
I tried FF4. I loved the original story back then, but it was not fun to play on the touch screen. Scrolling down magic list or target was a pain. I stopped playing after Rosa was kidnapped. I don't know how she is doing there.
 
I never played this the first time around. However, seeing all the orgasmic reactions whenever this gets rereleased keeps making me want to get around to playing it, but I never do. I just don't have the time.

THIS is what being an adult with responsibilities is about? I feel gypped.
 
Everyone is aware that there is a full remake coming to PS4 right? They previewed it a few months ago. So stop whining. This is the classic PS1 game thats been ported to iOS. Nothing more, nothing less.
