Square Enix has finally revealed a release date for its hotly anticipated iOS Final Fantasy spin-off. According to the game’s official website, gamers will be able to get their hands on Final Fantasy Dimensions next Friday, August 31.
Final Fantasy Dimensions on iOS is actually an updated and modernized version of Final Fantasy Legends, an episodic RPG series that hit Japanese flip-phones throughout 2010. Individually each episode can be completed in around three hours, but the 13 episodes put together offer up a full-fledged 35-40 hour adventure.
The iOS port will be the first time the episodic title has been available in English. In addition to the new translation, the port also features improved graphics, touch-powered menus and a new “sliding control pad.”
We went hands-on with the title at E3. In that earlier build character movement felt a little awkward via the virtual D-pad. But selecting combat options via a simple touch screen makes a lot of sense and instantly felt intuitive.
Square Enix has not confirmed to IGN whether Final Fantasy Dimensions will be released as a single title or in individual episodic chunks. A final price point has also not been announced.
IGN will have more on Final Fantasy Dimensions as it nears launch. In the meantime gamers should catch up on our E3 impressions, videos and screenshots.
