Yep, pretty much. Take a look at any of SE's cellphone games and you'll see just how lackluster they are. Even on the ones which are good games (Secret of Mana, for example), the control system is absolutely lousy. And pretty much every non-port has been mediocre at best. And I doubt this one will raise the bar any.
Granted, the DS and Vita both use touchscreens, but very few are the games which use them as a primary control system, let alone a standalone control system. Control setup alone makes either system far superior for gaming than any cellphone out there. Combine in their extra utilities, and they are certainly not "redundant".
As to the game itself, well, I almost feel sorry for the hardcore FFT fans out there. The website and logo alone should be enough to crush the hopes of anyone who wants a "dark and serious" take on the series.
