Actually... You can already play FF games on MP3 players. xD Well, technically iPods. I read up about a Gameboy Advance emulator and roms that could play on an iPod. Thankfully though, that had nothing to do with Square-Enix, but I'm sure if they caught wind of it, they'd do something similar and make you pay monthly for an iPod port of FF-FF7

does anyone know who will carry it. i don't like the idea of a cell phone game but I still want it to get the whole set.

Personaly I not happy with this either, it sounds like that cheap attempt that one company that made Ragnarok Online did, personally I found though every FF game I found had been breath taking when I first was playing like Advent Wings but it having to be on a cell phone...

Their are many things that concern me like:
- Will this have several missons or just 1 mission
- Will this have several monster/character fights or just 1
- Will the graphics look bad?
- Can you save your progress?
- Will it have a decent or amazing story to back its self up
- What possible characters would be used for this besides the obvious (Cloud, Vaan, etc, etc)
- Is their any special trinket that other final fantasy games did not have?

...And More...

So as a fan this is what I wonder what they will choose to do for a FF game being on a dinky cell phone (Sorry ahead of time to any cell phone lover just I think they are a waste of time/money/space to me)

I agree it was a dumb idea to make a game that people can only play on a mobile phone.

I dont know how popular games are on mobile phones in Japan, but speaking for the UK, they're NOT popular.

I don't know about the US, but i guess they're not too popular there either (but i may be wrong?)

It just seems to me Square-Enix is only in it for the money.

I mean, look at when it was sqaure-soft. You got ONE game , FF7,8,9 etc Since it's been Square-Enix, EVERY SINGLE game has had a sequel, or expansion pack added to it, and to be fair, every sequel / expansion has been awful.

I just hope they make FFXIII a GREAT game with a top notch storyline like FF7 because i bought a PS3 for £425 ($850) when it first came out just on the fact i heard FFXIII was coming out on it.

I dont want to be disappointed

1) a mobile phone can only hold what is on the memory card, so, unless it comes out on something like the N-Gage, then it depends on the Memory card. They were talking bout downloading each chapter, deleting the old chapter and downloading a new one to continue the game
2) again, this depends on how big or small Square-Enix decide to make the name
3) graphics wont look good unless it's a real good, top notch phone
4) yeah you could save on the memory card
5) no idea how good the story would be, thats up to Square-Enix. I doubt it'll be a hardcore RPG storyline though because its just a spin off really.

The thing that I don't like about games being on mobile phones is that the phones are way small and that the buttons are way too small as well.

I'm not really concerned about the screen as of course they would create the game's graphics according to the phones capabilities and so on.

If they would make it on the iPhone then it would be a much different story (including the cost (ugh...) if it came to North America)

Well I don't think you can say it "isn't worth buying" - I just think they trying a different approach, or as it was previously mentioned, portable gaming is popular over there as well.
