Square Enix has rather quietly slipped in a mention of
Final Fantasy Dimensions in its pre-E3 press release.
What's more, this new entry in the RPG series
isn't heading for the 3DS or home consoles, but is, in fact, bound for smartphones only.
Final Fantasy Dimensions is described as having "beautiful 2D pixel art, job-driven character growth, additional scenarios in which to inherit the jobs of your adventuring companions", and, rather bizarrely, a "classic story of light, darkness, and crystals".
Bring me their soulsAnother interesting-sounding title that Squeenix has just confirmed is heading to Android and iOS in the near future is
Demons' Score - a "breakbeat action game" that blends fighting in with music.
Sounds very much like the upcoming 3DS title
Theatrhythm on paper, then, but
Demons' Score is powered by the Unreal Engine, so expect a lot of rather natty graphical flourishes.
Release dates haven't been confirmed for either game just yet, but hopefully we'll be able to steal a glimpse at the two titles next week at E3.

Beautiful 2D pixel art, goddammit, I'd buy a snes off ebay if I constantly wanted that. Sqenix were renowned for making some of the best looking games made, give us something that actually uses the processor please!

OMG an exclusive FF for mobile? Yes, mobile - because 3DS and Vita are not mobiles any more - we had that discussion a year or so ago.
Very cool and just one more notch in the iOS/Android belt of "yes a cell phone is a proper gaming machine"
