Rise of Mana

[Skyblade]

I'm hoping that Square continue to try and release some quality RPG's for iOS / Android, rather than just ports. So I'll be looking at this when/if it comes out on the Australian iTunes store.

"Continue" implies they have succeeded in doing so once so far. Have you played any of the iOS versions? They're horrible. Even good games like Secret of Mana have horrible controls.

Have you?

I've found a lot of the games to be fine, whether it be something original like the Chaos Rings series, a few of the Final Fantasy ports that I've played, Chrono Trigger or even The World Ends With You. I'm not sure about Secret of Mana, but you shouldn't judge based on just one port's controls.

I'm not. I've played Secret of Mana, Final Fantasy Dimensions, and Chrono Trigger. They all have poor controls.

For Chrono Trigger, I would like to direct you to this review, the very first one I found by doing a YouTube search. Notice that the review is mostly praising the game, with some minor issues with the port itself, except for the controls, which it criticizes at every point. Because they suck.
