Maybe you loved Final Fantasy on the iPhone – it, “still manages to satisfy that old-skool craving,” said PocketGamer. Maybe you agreed with PocketGamer when they panned Final Fantasy II on the iPhone by saying it “remains as off-putting as its original release.” Kids, the future is now. Let’s skip ahead 11 versions of Final Fantasy. This time Square Enix has really waved their magic bejeweled wand. Final Fantasy XIII for the iPhone is here!
Well, sort of. I mean if you want to get down to the real nitty-gritty of gameplay, there’s:
An artwork gallery
A calendar
A clock
You can always play your wild card: display a picture, calendar, and clock at the same time.
Seriously? Yes, seriously. Square Enix actually released an app you could hang from the wall above your bed, at a ridiculous price of $8.99. Admittedly, the images are pretty incredible, if you can get past Square’s typical: “hidden minutiae like eye colors, clothing materials, and the brilliant luster of accessories!” Ugh. And, you have to load the app to see the pics – no desktop backgrounds from Square. Maybe that’s in the next version, at double the price?
Do rip-off apps like this really get you peeved? I can accept having useless apps, but apps that are both useless and cost so much dough? What apps have you paid more than a buck for, that were worth it? Or, which app was the biggest waist of money?
