Today is the day that Final Fantasy Tactics: The War Of The Lion [$15.99] for iPhone is finally available on the App Store. And while we still have to wait a few days for the iPad version, Square Enix thought that’s reason enough to celebrate this release with a sale on some of their awesome games. Here’s an example of the titles that are on sale for a limited time:
iPhone:
Final Fantasy $8.99 -> $4.99
Final Fantasy II $8.99 -> $4.99
Secret of Mana $8.99 -> $6.99
Chaos Rings $12.99 -> $6.99
Chaos Rings Ω $11.99 -> $8.99
Crystal Defenders $7.99 -> $3.99
iPad:
Chaos Rings $15.99 -> $7.99
Chaos Rings Ω $14.99 -> $10.99
Crystal Defenders $7.99 -> $3.99
Wow. That’s so many hours of gameplay here that if you’re new to the Squeenix universe, this should keep you busy for months to come. And if you are already familiar with these titles, you can jump right into the freshly released Final Fantasy Tactics: The War Of The Lion [$15.99]. Right now, it is only available for iPhone and it does come with a pretty steep price. This is, at least to some extent, forgivable thanks to the many hours of gameplay that this game comes with. However, especially because it is such a huge game, I still don’t like the fact that it’s not released as Universal App. Like we explained before, the buzzword in this case is iCloud, an upcoming feature in iOS 5 that allows Universal Apps to synchronize their data across your devices. Practically, this means that if you own an iPhone and iPad, you can be sure that you have the same save games on both devices so you can always continue just where you left the game. Nevertheless, this PSX classic is one hell of a game and if you’re into JRPGS and turn based games, there’s probably little that will hold you back from getting this gem.
