While not a Final Fantasy game per se, Square-Enix’s latest game Chaos Rings (to be released sometime soonish for the iPhone and iPod Touch) has all the hallmarks of their most famous series of JRPGs.
A white-haired protagonist wielding a sword bigger than the length of his body? Check. NPCs androgynously envisioned by character designer Testuya Nomura? Yup. Being slurped into random battles every three steps? Uh huh. And I’m guessing we can expect a ten minute cutscene or two as well.
No word yet on when this is dropping on the App Store, but the Japanese trailer above says “soon” and the trailer itself looks remarkably polished. I imagine we’ll see it within a month or two.
