jonasvdc tips an announcement by Square Enix that Final Fantasy I and Final Fantasy II are being developed for the iPhone and the iPod touch. The graphics and UI have been modified to look and run better on the touchscreen devices, but everything from Cecil to the classic Black Mage is clearly recognizable. The announcement did not include any information on a price or release date.

SquareEnix re-released Final Fantasy IV outside of Japan on the DS as Final Fantasy IV, so that's what they're calling that now.
Cecil is not in Final Fantasy II (as the numbering scheme now goes) so he's not clearly seen.

I prefer to replace one of the fighters with a blackbelt. Not as powerful at the low levels, but he gets some incredible damage later in the game.

In my personal opinion, it is. The iPhone/iPod almost takes me back to the days of the C64 and coders making games in their garages. Alot of it is crap but there are some real innovative gems and you can spend hours and hours just trying different games from the app-store. And it's all cheap aswell.
And now we also have GTA: Chinatown Wars, Final Fantasy 1 & 2, Mirror's Edge, Assassins Creed II, Settlers, Simon the Sorceror 1 & 2, Monkey Island Remake, Beneath a Steel Sky... some high quality games from well known developers.

The sad part is that I have been alive for all of these and have purchased over 50% of them!

We'd like a way to play this game on a console with bloodlines to the original, without having to resort to emulators to do so.
