Final Fantasy: Record Keeper already surpasses 1M downloads

It looks like Square Enix has one of those mobile hits it’s always chasing after.

Since debuting March 24, Final Fantasy: Record Keeper has already surpassed 1 million downloads on iOS and Android. The free-to-play mobile hit has players trying to restore memories of the heroic deeds from previous Final Fantasy games. Fans of the series can relive their favorite moments in what is really the gaming equivalent of a “greatest hits” anthology. That play on nostalgia has definitely helped the game catch on and find an audience. And success on mobile is more important than ever for game makers — especially in Japan — as the worldwide market for smartphone and tablet apps could reach $30 billion this year, according to Newzoo.
