I look 2-3x/year to see if FFT has added an AppleTV app, or even controller support for AirPlay, and somehow the answer is still no. Chrono Trigger, however, has been updated with both.
Just a word of warning. Squeenix has an awful track record of releasing iOS ports and then abandoning them, meaning they will eventually stop working when you update your phone. Chrono Trigger was broken for years before they updated it. So was The World Ends with You, and more recently FFIX.
This is the nature of mobile gaming obviously, but at the premium prices they charge you'd think they'd throw out an update or two every few years to keep the games from breaking.
Idk anything about these ports... but FF tactics is the best Final Fantasy game of all time, IMO. Revolutionary playstyle, serious story telling, fun mechanics. A classic that I still enjoy some 20+ years after its release... and to me that says a lot about a game.

Good deal if you don't already own those games.
I own almost all of them already.
Trials of Mana Remake for 10.99 is also a very nice deal with all the voiceover and cut scenes.
I own it on PC already.
Waiting for DQ Builder to be on sale next time as I missed the 20% launch discount.
Same old same old deal. Great if you dont already have these classics, but dang, why dont they just make these prices the normal already?!
Agree. Also what do you guys think in terms of platform. iPad or Nintendo switch? Debating whether to wait for the Nintendo switch deal or pull the trigger for the iPad (iOS) deal?

Id say thatll depend on how you want to play. With the iOS route youre going to have to carry around a controller and itll have to be one that you know works with these games. Personally I think the Switch Lite is absolutely perfect for these kinda of games, but Id say go with the Switch either way.

FFTactics on my GB SP is my favorite game!
