Final Fantasy III one of the top five highest-grossing Android games of the week

Square Enix slipped Final Fantasy III over onto Google Play earlier this summer without much fanfare or publicity.

What Square Enix did attach to the game was a hefty £10.99 ($15.99) price tag, which is comparable to its iOS pricing.

Cutting through the freemium

In case you think we were being unfair with our predictions, Final Fantasy III is, however, the only non-freemium game to command a spot in the list of highest-grossing Android games for the week.

The complete list – as reported - is as follows:

1. Rage of Bahamut
2. Slotomania
3. Slot City: Slot Machines
4. Final Fantasy III
5. Zynga Poker
6. Live Holdem Poker Pro
7. Tiny Village
8. Airport City
9. Crime City
10. Smurfs' Village Gamasutra
