I'll buy it on the Psn just to prove a point ^^



Still a rip off >.>



Why do they always release the IOS version first with Android being the lead market and all.

Because if you include Ipod touches, and ipads technically IOS is way in the lead.

Not quite true, though it is fairly close.

The real reason is that iOS users spend far more money than Android users, and development is generally a lot cheaper. iOS wins on both the cost and revenue side of deciding whether a project is viable.

Someone on here told me iOS is better bang for you buck in terms of adoption rate and average sum consumer will spend on a title.



Oh my god, TOP?! I remember playing it when dejap translated the SNES-Rom! That Intro back then... For the younger users: I am talking about this one: http://dejap.eludevisibility.org/top.php
This is one of the best fan-translations along with some really good rom-hacking skills I have ever seen, if not the best (yes, that includes seiken3).

To add to this.. Android is waay too fragmented, hardware specs wise and system version.. To optimize every app for all those different configurations for example  screensize is time and money consuming

Games with such graphics are just a complete turn-off to my opinion! This title might well come across as a cute RPG but I would personally tend to for a game like Ninja Barbecue Party https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.virgoplay.application.ninja_bbq_party. It is not only lively and bright but is highly addictive and challenging. Getting back to Tales of Phantasia on iOS itunes.apple.com/jp/app/teiruzu-obu-fantajia/id654653023?mt=8&ign-mpt=uo%3D4, after having tried the game I have noticed a slight bug when played on iOS 7. The game crashes but luckily we can recover as soon as this happens thanks to the ‘quick save’ option. This http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread is a pretty good description of the game though and I really hope we see more here from gamers!
