Hey guys, the title sounds surprising eh? Well, Tetsuya Nomura, director of Final Fantasy, had to work against his own company President to get the game on consoles.

Most of his responses had to deal with this:

"“One executive told me that this game would work much better on his iPhone,” continued Nomura, “He said in addition to reaching a larger audience, it would be easier to make on the iPhone because people do not expect much from it. I fought back saying that gamers deserve a good game and not some throwaway title that people will forget in a week. I was hit back with charts explaining how much more profitable that throwaway title would be.”"

Sad, isn't it?

Here is a link:

Edit:

I feel like a complete idiot now learning that this site is a satirical one. The story just sounds like something Square Enix would do, considering what they have done to Final Fantasy on Tablets.

If any Moderators what to close this thread feel free to do so.

I don't think that they've screwed up FF on iOS too bad. Actually, I hear that the iOS version of FFIII is pretty good. Granted, it's just a port of the DS version, so there's that. Although they did make those horrendous sprites for the iOS versions of FFV and VI. Plus FF ATB is apparently HORRID. Hmmm....

Also, because I want to promote people not making countless one-note threads we do have an FF thread: http://smashboards.com/threads/general-final-fantasy-discussion-ffx-x2-hd.279027/
