If your Super Nintendo has seen better days but you’re not ready to retire one of your favorite RPGs, you’re in luck! Just whip out your android!
A recent press release details some of the upgrades and enhanced features gamers will enjoy over their 16-bit cart iteration. First, the game’s graphics have been maliciously ported to mobile devices with great care. “…the game’s graphics have been recreated to bring the world of FINAL FANTASY VI to your mobile device for the very first time. One of the graphics designers involved in the FINAL FANTASY series from the very start, Kazuko Shibuya, personally worked on the main characters and supervised this recreation.” It reads.
An impressive new list of features coming to the android version also includes:
- Intuitive user-friendly controls that make the game easy to play on touch screens. In particular, the battle interface has received a complete overhaul for smartphones.
- The magicites and events that were introduced in the 2006 remake will also make a return. In addition, events have been optimized for user-friendly touch controls.
- Need a hint? Mog will help players who are stuck by telling them what they should do next.
- The album feature will allow players to revisit the story of the game, just in case they missed an event or need to catch up.
Final Fantasy VI is currently available in the Google Play store for $15.99 (compatible with Android 3.2, but an OS of 4.0 or later is recommended).
