Crystal Defenders Marks Square Enix’s Foray Into The iPhone

Crystal Defenders Marks Square Enixs Foray Into The iPhone Nearly out of the blue Square Enix is launching Crystal Defenders today worldwide. Ivalice is at war again. Will Ivalice ever be peaceful?

 

This time you won’t control a shirtless thief or move an army of moogles on a tactical grid. Crystal Defenders is Final Fantasy tower defense. Deploy black mages, place soliders, kill the creeps, and protect your crystals. Crystal Defenders gives players 120 levels for $7.99 only on the iPod App Store.

 

Originally, Crystal Defenders was sold as three separate games: Crystal Guardians W1, W2, and W3 in Japan. That’s right Crystal Defenders is a converted mobile phone game. On top of working with the iPhone Crystal Defenders also works the iPod Touch, 5th Generation iPods and 3rd & 4th Generation iPod nanos. Perhaps, Square Enix will continue their trend of Japanese cell phone to iPod ports with Final Fantasy IV: The After and Kingdom Hearts Coded. Both games could use an international home.

    I’m not a big fan of the iPhone or Square-Enix, but I hope this works for them. It’s very cool to see some of this content finally being made available outside of Japan.

    Please Square-Enix, release this for the Nintendo DSi or the Sony PSP. I can’t stand Apple’s overpriced shallow products. Apple equals GARBAGE!

    I’ll most likely never get a iphone or whatever they put these games on so I hope a few do make it over to another handheld. The odds aren’t bad since a few is making it to others (?)

    @lostinblue, as far as I know, you can get it on iTunes for your iPod Touch. Thus, it is ported; will you buy it?

    Also, Crystal Defenders is only $4.99 according to the iTunes Store.

    @ Andy – just searched on the ipod’s app store and it says “no matches found”.

    I heard they actually can’t port it because they can’t access the music in the iphone/ipod touch like they do on the ipod nano/classic. But yeah, it sure isn’t there.

    @lostinblue, oh, I misunderstood. It doesn’t work for the iPod Touch. Oh well.
