Mmm just like the Olsen Twins

See, Hannah is hip and retro just like Sega

It might not be necessary, but it sure as hell is nicer to play with real buttons. I might get it anyway once I've tried some of the cheaper iOS titles. Hopefully it will have dropped in price by then.

[demi]

It wont.

[archnemesis]

I thought the iOS app store had frequent sales. Are Square-Enix not a part of that?

[Positive Touch]

hell no they are not

[archnemesis]

Well, that's stupid. Pretty much all of their games have been 50% off on the PSN and they also take part in the Steam sales.

SE stuff sometimes goes on sale but the drops aren't that huge, I think Chaos Rings 2 went down to 12 from 18 so don't expect dollar pricing or anything.  Dimensions is all-IAP pricing too so that might make it less likely to drop.

I have mixed feelings on Dimensions.  Even for SE, you can get very high-quality titles like TWEWY and Chaos Rings for much less than Dimensions.  The game is also poorly optimized for the iPhone, just using healing spells in the menu takes way too many steps than it should, or having to scroll down to select all of your party members in battle.  Still, the gameplay itself is pretty solid and it more or less gives the fans exactly what they want.

Disclaimer: I just finished Persona 3 and I think I'm JRPG'ed out until I hit about 76 years old

I finished Persona 3 AND Persona 4 and if there's an afterlife I don't want to bring my JRPGs with me anymore

I'll take em!

Miley continues to be young and confident, which makes her smoking hot to me. She plays by her own rules and doesn't subscribe to Hollywood's stereotypical standards of beauty when it comes to her hair, not her body. I can't wait to see what she comes up with next.

Would easily grab TWEWY if it ran on Touch 4 : (

At least release this shit on Android...

Anyways, does this game actually have somewhat of a storyline, or good gameplay? Seems like a lot of 2D FF games are nothing but cheap cashins with tons of recycling (The After Years, which was a total disappointment).

[demi]

Its storyline is no different than any Final Fantasy. And its the same gameplay you played in any Final Fantasy.

After Years is fine, too. The moon system was weird, though.

I thought the encounter rate in After Years was muchhhh too high and there was a ridiculous amount of backtracking. I think it was Palom's chapter that had me go through the waterfall caverns no less than 3 times for instance.
