Final Fantasy VII is now out on iPhone and iPad.

Let's just pause and process this for a minute.

You could, if you wanted to, browse on over to the App Store, give Square Enix £11.99 / $15.99 of your real world money, and then start playing one of the most important RPGs ever made on your phone.

It's real. Here's the download link.

While this is obviously incredibly exciting news, an important question remains: is this new mobile port any good? Are the visuals up to snuff? Does it handle like a drunk pig in a pool of treacle? Have Square Enix trampled wholesale over our childhood memories?

We sat down to play the game and answer these very questions. Check out the video above for our first impressions of Final Fantasy VII mobile.
