Final Fantasy III for iOS ($15.99 -> 8.99)

Quote from dstppy : Oh boy! Another platform I can get stuck in the ice cave on and lose interest. It's tradition.

dude u and me both. i think i'm just gonna youtube the ending, totally not worth it haha. i played maybe over 2 hours only to get completely obliterated by the last boss. if we were still in the early 90s my more hardcore gaming self would have probably toughed through it. nowadays too used to easy games and tons of save points haha

Quote from TheLounge : 7 sucked... just must've been your cherry popper...

7 didn't suck, but yeah, most people who say 7 is the best are probably in their early 20s haha. 6 all the way for sure, 1 for the NES being my "cherry popper".

Legend 2 & 3 on GB >

Quote from FrugalBrutal : I didn't know that Square's library was so good on iOS. One step closer to my ditching the console completely and just getting an iPad.

Nothing beats having real controls/buttons though.

OSD controls will always be lacking in my opinion. It's tiring to hold up an ipad for extended periods of time, you can't feel your way aroudn the buttons (and can slip off the virtual d-pads and buttons), and your own fingers block the screen sometimes (more of an issue on phones than ipads).

Edit: Good find on this sale/deal though!

There've been too many games over the last 20 years that make it hard to remember which one was FF6.I played mostly IV and up, and could never get into VII. VIII was different, but I think I enjoyed it in the end. Haven't and won't touch 11 or 14. One of the SNES ones, and 9 were my favorites. Haven't done X-2, 12, and currently attempting to give 13 a try. I'm hoping that getting back into gaming might help me stay off of slickdeals, and put some money away.

Quote from krazyshopper : thanks op, ive wanted this game for a while. but its always been so pricey. I agree. it will not get any lower than this.

You're welcome!

I'm just happy to see the deal helping others.

Glad you agree that Square Enix just doesn't lower their prices the way other developers do. Most developers come out with a game at a certain price. Then, once the sales start to drop, lower the price to generate buzz and hopefully more sales once they raise the price back up. Not Square Enix though. They are stubborn as a mule and almost never give out sales !

Quote from Arrionso : I'm still waiting for Final Fantasy Tactics to go on sale. I was so excited when I found it in the appstore and then immediately sad to see the price on that game. I just don't feel right paying anything over $10 on iOS, despite how good it would be. Hopefully this sale is a sign that FFT is on it's way to something I can happily pay. Still on the fence on this one. I've had my eye on it for a while...hmm...

If it helps you can do what I did. Go to appshopper.com and create a free account to alert you by email when the price drops on a particular app. Just search for the app you want and click the "I want it" button and your good to go.

Hope this helps

final fantasy vi was the last final fantasy released on the super nintendo if i'm not mistaken, and went by the name of final fantasy iii in the U.S. the one with the moogle on the cover and the esper system which was awesome. and how did you not get into vi???

and i dunno about you, but the more i game, the more i want to check out slickdeals for all these $40-$45 promos and pick up a bunch of games i don't need. my backlog grew by like 4 games after black friday.

but to get back on topic, $9 for an awesome remake of a great game is an awesome deal, and it looks amazing on the retina display, probably even better on the ipad. anyone who is thinking that $9 is too much is kidding themselves, considering this would sell out quick if they were selling the DS cartridge somewhere for anywhere near $9.
