The best Final Fantasy hits mobile before Steam (hint: It’s IX)

The best Final Fantasy has a new platform to call home.

The Square Enix role-playing game classic Final Fantasy IX is available now for iOS and Android, while the Steam version still doesn’t have a release date (although its page on the store states that it’s coming out “early 2016”). The mobile gaming industry is worth $30 billion, but most of that money comes from free-to-play games. The mobile version of Final Fantasy IX costs $17. We don’t know how much the Steam release will go for, but we should expect a similar price. We also don’t really know how well these mobile versions of Final Fantasy classics sell, but they must be doing fine if Square Enix keeps making new ones. Final Fantasy Tactics is the highest-rank premium mobile re-release Square Enix has on the Google Play store at No. 165, with the role-playing game classic Final Fantasy VI following at No. 293.
