I have to say, I expected that Final Fantasy VI would be the next entry to get an iOS/Android release, since both IV and V were brought to the mobile phone market, and the fact that next year is the 20th anniversary of FF VI. I'm actually about to buy FF V for my phone, since the anthology version has some glitches when I play it on my PSP.

To be completely honest, I would prefer it if Square-Enix concentrated its development efforts on their new titles (especially completing FF XV and Kingdom Hearts III), rather than on major console remakes of games that were fine to begin with (e.g., Final Fantasy VII).

I'm guessing you didn't see the pictures in the other thread.  With what they did to it, I wouldn't buy it.  I'm sure there are plenty of good  games you haven't played on the DS or PSP you can purchase instead of paying for an overpriced iOS remake that the dev shit all over.  I'd be happy to lend my expertise on the matter if it meant that Square Enix wouldn't be gaining a sale that told them "please keep releasing these shitty remakes."

I have seen pictures and gameplay videos of the V re-release.  Having played through the original game before, the changes to V don't really bother me (I wouldn't buy it if it was my first time playing the game).  Still, I shouldn't have said "about to buy"; I'll likely wait for it to go on sale before I decide, because I agree that $16 is too much.
