Well this is certainly a blast from the past. Nearly a week ago, Square Enix quietly released Final Fantasy VI to the iOS App Store, and I only heard about it yesterday. This isn't just a basic port of the classic SNES game either, they've revamped most of the graphics and several in-game mechanics.

Here's an example of the new character sprite designs:

I can already tell the updated graphics are going to cause some controversy with many old-school FFVI fans, but I'm fine with the changes. Honestly, the most important part for me (as with all Final Fantasy games) is the soundtrack, written by Nobuo Uematsu. Thankfully, the soundtrack is in full form here, and there's even a 'soundtrack mode' for listening to any of the tracks whenever you want.

In true Square Enix fashion, this is not a cheap game. It's going to run you $16, but if you're a die-hard FF fan like I am, I doubt this will perturb you too much.
