Square Enix’s Final Fantasy VI for mobile devices was teased all the way through December, and having hit the Google Play Store back in January, has just become available to those on Apple’s iOS. Full details can be seen after the break.

There have been few titles in gaming history that have reached as much acclaim and popularity as the Final Fantasy franchise. Apart from the amazing gameplay and the deeply immersive storylines, the game has had a certain appeals with gamers that is rarely found in the gaming universe. So, the news that Square Enix, the publisher behind the massive franchise, has just released a new trailer for its Final Fantasy VI remaster for the iOS is definitely going to resonate well with a lot of passionate gamers.

Square Enix has previously been guilty of teasing mobile gamers by announcing that the much anticipated Final Fantasy VI would be coming to mobile sometime “this winter”. Developers and publishers are often understandably reluctant to commit to concrete launch dates for fear of having a spanner thrown in the works and subsequently having to renege on that promise. The winter is now well and truly upon us, and although we haven’t yet been blessed with an actual release date, Square Enix has used the annual Jump Festa expo to release two official screenshots of the visuals that gamers can expect on iOS and Android when the title launches.

When it comes to RPGs, Final Fantasy may not be considered among the best like it once was, but the engrossing, almost iconic nature of the original Final Fantasy VII on the PlayStation continues to live on today. In what must go down as the most exciting news for FF fans in a good while now, Square Enix has announced that Final Fantasy VI will be heading to iOS and Android later this year. Perhaps not surprising, especially given that Final Fantasy IV and V took their respective mobile bows not so long ago, but if you enjoy playing games on your iOS or Android smartphones and tablets, then you won’t have to wait too long for Final Fantasy VI to arrive.
