Square Enix keep focused on mobile platforms (as they did with Lara Croft). While half the world is aware of the news of their next great work, Final Fantasy XV, the Japanese company continues releasing new games for Android.
Now it is the turn of one of the most iconic and beloved videogames of the Japanese firm, Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions, a title that we all loved at the moment.
Unlike other Final Fantasy, it differs from the rest in its combat system. No turn-based combat, but the battlefield is divided into a board with grids in which we move our units to destroy the enemy, all in a very strategic way that will make the fighting somewhat more complex and longer than usual.
But if the combat system is good (or at least different from what we usually see in the saga of Square Enix), more so is its history. An adult plot, full of betrayals, swords and magic, allies who really are not and enemies that come from us; something that certainly is difficult to see in a game of Square Enix these days.
In short, Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lion is a set of ten levels. But its version for Android has certain shortcomings and disadvantages that litter the game. First, the price. We talk about a game of Play Station -the first one- which was later released on PlayStation Portable (PSP). The version of Google Play is just a port of the PSP, so a price of 13.99 euros for it seems somewhat exaggerated. It is true that this is a very long and fun game, and also Square Enix has never been known to put their Android titles at affordable prices, but even so, we consider it expensive.
On the other hand, a game of this magnitude, with so many hours of development, it is unacceptable not likely to save in the cloud. If you take 60 hours of game and all circumstances of life, you change phone or erase data you will have to start all over again from the beginning.
Finally, we speak the language. This Final Fantasy has never been translated from English, but we are in 2015 and if a company wants to sell to such a market like this, should rethink this. Arguably we have a complex title, and although you need not be native English-speaking to understand, many users will be missing one of the best arguments in a game because of the language.
