So make sure you sink your time and cash into JRPGs that don’t suck with this list of the best ever JRPGs on Android.

*insert a generic comment on how mobile gaming sucks*

i don't know why this new generation of *gamers* hates almost everything,
one should be happy that even phones now have some good games.
no one is exactly forcing you to throw your consoles out in favor of android.consoles/pc are still mainstream, there is no dispute on that but still if android gets new games,
a gamer should only be happy and not pissed off.

It's more about those 'analysts' who say consoles and handhelds are dying when the most popular games for mobiles are casual cash-in Facebook kind of games.

JoeMatar3913d ago

That is a big problem for mobile gaming. I'd like to think some of these bigger titles are turning it into a more legit form of gaming though.

It's not that we hate mobile.

It's that if it was on handheld or console, it would control that much better.

Imagine playing Madden or COD/BF3 at home on your 50 inch tv, but you have to swipe the screen to make anything happen.

1.)It would get old quick

2.) it BLOCKS THE SCREEN!

There are some definite problems with mobile gaming. I think it still needs to figure out its strengths. The Chrono Trigger port came out surprisingly decent all things considered, but I'd be fooling myself if I tried to claim it controlled better than using a controller.

But other games that have been made specifically for mobile platforms have been phenomenal, like Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP. That's a game that you can tell was originally developed for handheld devices and I think it controls and is a more immersive experience that way than it is on a PC or Mac.

It's already been said that they weren't motivated to do anything with the series unless the gang was back together, not really for any legal reasons.

I'm honestly happy with the Steam port of the game.

Square isn’t what it used to be.

CrimsonWing69415d ago

It’s true.

Squaresoft used to be like the equivalent of Naughty Dog back in the day. When you heard Squaresoft was making a game you knew it’d be a banger.

god I miss those days.

porkChop415d ago

Yeah they used to be the best in the industry. Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within is the worst decision they ever made. While they had previously talked about merging with Enix, that film flopping so hard left them with no other option.

CrimsonWing69414d ago

@porkChop

My understanding is that merger was happening before the film and the flop of the film freaked them out because they thought Enix would call it off.

I personally wish Square Pictures was a success. I thought the Matrix shirt they did was cool and they were pushing computer animation into a more mature realm.

Unfortunately, Spirits Within noted many and wasn’t the FF movie a lot of fans wanted. I thought it was decent, but something like Advent Children should’ve been the direction they went.

Ronmaest409d ago

To me, Naughty Dog is now Naughtycucks.p after that god awful story in LoU 2.

It was people like Yasumi Matsuno that held it for me, at Squaresoft. The company thought them too radical and ran them out. And now they yearn for people like that. They’re short sighted and pathetic.

GoodGuy09415d ago

Square ruined pretty much every great old franchise they've had.

franwex414d ago

Kinda misleading title, even from reading the article itself.

The staff and management couldn’t come to an agreement and the team moved on. Part of the team went to creat ff11 and the rest to Monolith software. Ideas for this game were implemented in some form to mobile games-later on. Which make sense as early 2000s mobile phones were not as powerful.
