And for 6.99 nobody is going to buy it. I've been a FF fan since I played the first one on Nintendo decades ago but unless squareenix keeps their pricing in line with everyone else I'm not going to buy their shit. Much like I haven't bought Assassins Creed (or any other Ubisoft game) beyond the first one once Ubisoft showed their true DRM colors.

Their sales figures indicate otherwise. Square's frequently held up as the poster child for how premium-priced iOS games can still sell very well. And the games that earned it that reputation are usually priced at least twice as high as that.

It looks like the Android game is a fast port of the iOS version though, with matching black borders on higher resolution devices. And it seems that it needs internet connection for a DRM check on every launch.

Meh.
