    The new Final Fantasy game is indeed Final Fantasy All the Bravest, for iOS devices, a spinoff combat-only title. It hit the New Zealand iTunes store a couple hours ago. Square Enix had said to expect an announcement on this tomorrow. Well, it's already tomorrow in New Zealand.

    All the Bravest uses the Active Time Battle system popularized by older Final Fantasy games. "Every character possesses an ATB gauge that displays the time remaining until that character can execute an action," the description says. "When the gauge is full, simply tap or drag your finger over the character to attack. Touch multiple characters in quick succession to experience exhilarating and fast-paced battle."

    All the Bravest will feature characters, enemies and music (more than 30 songs) spanning theFinal Fantasy series, and offers red mage, monk and warrior among the 20 classic jobs that are unlockable as players progress through the game. Old foes like behemoths and cactaurs will be followed by a boss showdown at the end of each stage.

    Also, an in-game shop will offer 35 premium characters from "a number of Final Fantasy titles." The characters appear to be randomly awarded when purchased. Additional game stages from Final Fantasy VII, X and XIII also are available.

    The game is listing for $4.19 in New Zealand, which is $3.50 U.S. No word on North American pricing, nor Android availability.

    So, I already like the intended abbreviation - FF:ATB!

    Square Enix have now uploaded the launch trailer for their latest iOS game titled Final Fantasy: All the Bravest. In it you'll see just how crazy things can get with parties going up into the double figures range.

    In the trailer you'll also get to see a lot of old school sprites, job classes and even musical favourites.

    So without further ado...

      Hm, I actually like this more then a simple port (Teasers for ports seem like a bit much). I hope the 4 dollar is the price for the full game though, I hate when games are sold in parts.

      Good point. My friend loved the start of Dimensions and proceeded to buy the rest. Until he found out they were 15 dollars apiece.

      That said, I would totally buy this. Wish I had an iPhone T.T

      Combat only title....I wonder if it will have enough depth to be playable for more than 5 minutes and a combined month.

      So you control a mob of characters, interesting. I like the party of 30 dragoons.

      I might get this if they release it for Android. $4 seems like a pretty reasonable price.

      Agreed. SE needs to release these games for Droids.

      Stuff like this is why I hate Square now. Making stupid teasers for iOS games (mostly of which barely even count as games) and refusing to bring out certain games in other territories, even though damn near every game they make sells like hotcakes (at least if it's not a SaGa title). Damn you Square-Enix.

      Final Fantasy Whac-A-Mole. Maybe next Square-Enix will deliver on the Final Fantasy baby mobile we've been waiting for.

      So Square-Enix has been reduced to making iOS games? Make a proper game for the Vita, please. Or at least give us Chrono Cross and Crisis Core for the european PSN.

      It's quick easy money. Easy to develop; takes a minimum amount of staff away from other games. If mobile gaming really is the future (as in, it will destroy console gaming completely) then it's the smart move. They need to freakin' accommodate Android too, though.

      These kinds of games aren't what keeps SE from working on the games that we really all want, it's the big games that fall behind or have to be completely reworked (e.g. FFXIV) that do that.

      From romhacking.net:

      Here's a video explaining the game. The whole game. You swipe. That's it. Oh, and if you lose your party, you can pay (real money) to revive them. There's a gil counter but it doesn't seem to do anything. You randomly find equipment after battles but it just marginally increases a few classes' attack power. There's no element of choice, there's very little element of strategy (if an attack hits the entire front row, try to only have one person in the front row.) It's just a thrown-together attempt to beat some cash out of a ten-year-old dead horse.

      Oh, and did I mention that there's in-app purchases? Aside from paying money for continues in battle, there's $35 worth of Classic Characters gated behind $1 purchases, but you don't get to pick who you get - you just pay the dollar and pray. And there are three maps locked away at $4 apiece. If you wanted to unlock everything, it would cost you $51. Not counting revives. For a game where you just mindlessly swipe at the screen.

      Yeah. Stay away.
      This offends me personally. They clearly put no effort into this, and expect people to just throw money at it. Bastards.

      I saw this played at the event by some other fansite members. The one who bought it was complaining about the price. It's 4 to get it which isn't bad but then there is very little to do without having to put more money into it. If someone is wanting to put the money into it, we'd love to have a review on the game though!

      Dude! This looked like fun! It looked as if all the FF characters are on caffeine or other things that made them extremely hyper!

      If they have this game for iPod (which I'm currently have) I am SO going to get that game!

      God dammit Square, stop making games like this. Or, make games like this to make a bunch of money, and then use it to make something good.
