Why go Mobile?

Both Games Versus and The regular are on the ps3, why not Stick With Sony? They problably would also make more money going with a major portable game system.

Square has already stated that the consoles are no longer their primary concern (despite the console wars). They believe that handhelds are the new thing. So you can expect more Cell Phone games, more DS games, and sadly more PSP games.

Now you tell me this, as soon as I sell my PSP I get told this

yeah this is the most bizarre and stupid idea ive ever seen...its also the worst.

Personally, they should've made it for DS or PSP. I can't imagine playing it on a mobile phone.

Although I strongly agree that handhelds are better than consoles, I do not like cellphones as they are NOT made for games.
Handheld games are nice since they can be played where and whenever, and also do not require large expenses to get the best out of them. Final Fantasy XIII wouldn't be so special on an old tube TV, and HDTVs aren't affordable for most people. And then a nice sound system would also be pricey (and I LOVE FF soundtracks.) I mean, having a great TV and sound system is great right now, but I'll be leaving it in a year...
A handheld is a single purchase (with a game) to get the whole experience. And it's portable. Although I do not support the move to cellphones... I support moving to handhelds quite a bit.

I wouldnt mind if I could get hold of them on my mobile but most of them are for Japan only.

Yeah these games will prolly never reach the uk for about 3 years since the mobiles in japan are way ahead of ours in technology.

I can see why some folks might want to go mobile... If you live in freaking Japan. Honestly, I would play an FF game on a phone, so long as it doesn't require button mashing, which I'm sure it won't, I mean, not like anyone would want to break their phones. But I don't even own a cellphone. Never have, either. Thinking about it makes me shudder. The screen is tiny. How entertaining can that be? Might as well go for a hand held instead.

But maybe someday... Or Square right now... Is trying to maybe practice making games on cellphones because it might be a big revenue one day and Square might be considered one of the forefathers. But whats next, FF games on mp3 players?

Agito looks interesting, but I can't help but feel its being wasted as a mobile game.
