Earlier in January, it was announced that Square Enix’s Final Fantasy VI made its way onto Android devices. This was a little odd given that Square Enix’s releases tend to be for both iOS and Android, and sometimes iOS first followed by Android. Well for whatever reason the iOS version was not released alongside the Android version, but the good news for iOS gamers is that if Final Fantasy VI is a game you’ve been looking forward to, you can now play it on your device as Square Enix has officially released the game for iOS.

Back in December 2012, it was hinted that Final Fantasy V “and more” could be ported onto iOS. This followed the release of Final Fantasy IV on iOS and towards the end of the trailer, the teaser was revealed. Now Square Enix has since set up a teaser website where sprite outlines and a date (17th January) was revealed. According to Siliconera, the sprite outlines are that of the Behemoth from Final Fantasy VI along with possible character sprites from Final Fantasy V, suggesting that perhaps an announcement of some sort could be taking place on the 17th. Given that both games have already been launched for their respective platforms, and the teaser released by Square Enix in 2012, we guess we wouldn’t be surprised if the announcement had to do with Final Fantasy V and VI being released, or at least getting a release date for iOS. Either way with 17th of January only a couple of days away, we guess we won’t have to wait long to find out. In the meantime who else is excited by this?
Before the silly X-2 and the XIII trilogy, the Final Fantasy franchise was known for rebooting itself with each iteration. Each game had a different battle system than the one that came before it and featured different characters as well. This decision lent the series a rich universe and opened our eyes on the possibilities of turn-based combat, but it also meant that our favorite characters would be left out when the next game came along. Which is why I’m very excited about this fan made mod of Final Fantasy VI (Final Fantasy III to the West), which brings together heroes and villains from the different Final Fantasy games.
Spanish is the first language of the unsung hero who is making this mod, so pardon me if I don’t get some of the details right. The modder calls the game Final Fantasy El Origen (Final Fantasy: The Origin), and it will include 14 playable characters from various FF games. It will have its own story and new skills for the characters. The game is based on the SNES version of Final Fantasy VI, which the modder chose because of the wide availability of SNES emulators, meaning a lot of people will be able to play the mod when it’s finished.
AUROOOONNNN Sorry. Aside from the playable heroes, other characters will also make cameos in the game. Check out the gameplay below:
Head to the mod’s website for more pictures and information. The modder also uploaded a trailer on YouTube, which has more information for those who can understand Spanish. I hope the modder succeeds in finishing the game. And I hope he includes a scene where Sabin teaches everyone how to suplex a train.
