Final Fantasy III

If you have an iPad and you're looking for an RPG to wear down your 10-12 hour battery quickly then look no further than Square Enix's Final Fantasy III. It's tough, fun, easy to use and presented in the best possible way on the iPad.

An old school rpg that's long lasting, beautiful and better than the twice as expensive DS version.

This is a great remake which make the most of the iPhone features, but most people will find it overpriced.

This is a game dedicated to the biggest fans of a certain class of experiences that until very recently was thought could not exist in IOS systems.

Despite the cost, though, Final Fantasy III is an impressive journey that successfully mixes old style RPGs with newer design and controls. For long term fans of the series and those who are curious about classic RPGs this is a must.

The price may scare off most people, but it happens to be one of the better titles on the platform.

It is very old school in its approach and doesn't ease you in gently. With 30 hours of gameplay on offer though, RPG fans would be mad to overlook it however. It's a tremendous piece of gaming history and still holds up well to this day.

If you're a hardcore fan of the Final Fantasy series it's hard not to recommend this title, but casual fans will need to consider if they're interested in a serious 'retro' JRPG challenge.

If you're prepared to deal with some of the old-school RPG trappings contained in Final Fantasy III, then you'll likely find it one of the best role-playing experiences in the App Store. But if you're mostly used to newer RPGs and the advancements that have come with them over the years, then Final Fantasy III may be too retro for your taste.

Those of you that loved the DS version of the game will appreciate the improved visuals and portability, especially considering how poorly implemented DS backwards compatibility is on the 3DS.

Square Enix's iOS iteration of a role-playing classic is a slick upgrade on its predecessors, but this remastered port does show its age.

Good virtual controls and easy-going gameplay make Final Fantasy III a recommended role-playing adventure.

If you're a diehard fan of console-style Japanese RPGs, and especially old Final Fantasy games, the steep price might not be enough to off put you from an otherwise solid and lengthy adventure.

An incredible value for a very high price, especially if compared with the App Store average. FF III always in your pocket is surely tempting, but you'll have to spend way too much to get it.

A very long game, offering dozens of hours of gameplay. However, it's also one of the most expensive games on the App Store at the time of this writing. Final Fantasy nuts have probably already picked this one up, but others should wait until the inevitable price drop.
