Square Enix promises Final Fantasy 3 at OUYA launch
Square Enix has promised that Final Fantasy III will hit OUYA on launch day, and has committed to future development on the platform.
The Android-powered OUYA console has just gotten another notable company in line with its launch plans. Square Enix, the Japanese company responsible for the Final Fantasy series, has committed to launching Final Fantasy III alongside the console next year. The company also promised continued support for the platform in the future.
Square Portal (via VG247) reports that the announcement promises a free demo to align with OUYA's requirements, and that it will be optimized for the device.
Keep in mind this isn't Final Fantasy VI, which was released in the US as FF3. Instead, it's a game that had previously only been released in Japan. It got a DS remake in 2006, and that remake was already brought to Android for $15.99. Optimizing for OUYA should be easy enough for Square to pull off. Final Fantasy 3 was the first to introduce a job system, so if you're interested in a little series history with your gaming it might be a good one to pick up.

I agree completely. Not to mention the bosses that are only vulnerable to classes you just obtained and have no levels in yet.
And don't forget the 2+ hours of boss fights in the final area with no save before the final boss!

I don't think OUYA is going to succeed given that piracy is so rampant on android. Maybe games with microtransactions.
Also, I'm not seeing the big deal here. Playing smart phone games on the TV, whats the big deal in that? It certainly won't be anywhere near the quality of xbox 720 / ps4, that is certain.-
You're making one critical false assumption. This is not for playing smart phone games on the TV.
Just because it's the Android platform doesn't mean it has anything to do with phones or tablets. It's its own platform and games will be made for that platform.-

Its a tegra 3 which has pretty much seen its potential, the games won't get better in terms of graphical quality. Further, like I said for a console to be successful it must have the backing of developers....android is a risk to devs to say the least, piracy is way too common.

With OnLive you can play triple A titles on the OUYA, not just android crap.
-
No you can play AAA titles like crap with OnLive. Plus it playing OnLive games is a nice feature, but not a big one. Considering online was giving away their console with game purchases left and right.
-
Onlive is more crap than android.
-
wrong, I have it and it it works great if you don't have some second rate isp

Way to totally ignore the huge piracy scene on jailbroken iOS devices. The platform doesn't encourage piracy any more than any other OS does. Why do people equate a open platform with being a pirate platform. It doesn't matter what system people will find a way to run/play software they didn't pay for.
You also have to realize that large chunk of the games they want on Ouya are going to be service/f2p games.-
LOL are you kidding? There are signifigant caveats to jailbreaking iOS, people who do this are a minority... and piracy is nowhere near as bad on iOS.
-
Thanks for also proving another point. Games for ouya if it comes to fruition will be shit. Definitely will not match xbox 720 / ps4 quality.
-
Keep sticking your head in the sand. Some iOS apps have very high piracy rates, don't believe google it for yourself. There are plenty of developers claiming as much as a 90% piracy rate.
