With the Agito part of SquareEnix’ forthcoming Final Fantasy XIII trilogy (How’s that for overkill?) set to provide an invisible link between PS3 and phone, it’s clear that the world’s biggest RPG factory is at ease with mobile technology. And if you want more proof of just how keen SquareEnix is to attract Japan’s “legions” (that’s an RPG word) of commuters, check out Seiken Densetsu: Final Fantasy Gaiden, released today as a Y525 download for KDDI phones in Japan, which successfully blends two legendary Square RPG series (Mana and FF) in glorious style.
Oh, and there’s more Square love: Friends of Mana, a networked game (for Softbank phones) in the main line of Mana, has been expanded today with three completely new worlds and quests. Of course, just riding a train in Japan is a “quest” in a “new world” for us.
