Square Enix has released a brand new Final Fantasy game for iOS devices which takes place seventeen years after Final Fantasy IV. Final Fantasy IV: The After Years begins with a journey called "Ceodore's Tale." Players must complete the original quest to unlock six additional characters with six different tales of their own. Players can then complete each character's tale in any order that they choose.
The sequel features the same active time-battle system seen in the other iOS Final Fantasy titles, "lunar phases" where the cycle of the moon affects the outcome of battles, and the ability to combine party members strengths to unlock "Band abilities." The game also includes the usual Game Center and fullscreen support.

Square Enix announced today that it will release Final Fantasy VI for iOS and Android devices this winter. Square director and producer Takashi Tokita told Kotaku that the game will be "like a remake of the original VI."
The mobile version of the game will feature sharpened 2D graphics and an updated battle system.
"The battle systems have been altered for the other [mobile remakes] for Final Fantasy and VI will be the same," explained Tokita "For instance grinding was an issue and people had to spend a lot of time leveling up. Now on the mobile devices the battle systems have been adjusted so you don't have to fight as much and can enjoy the game for what it is."
