These days the largest video game fair in the world is held in Los Angeles, the E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo). Square Enix had its moment of glory yesterday, when it held a conference for the first time within this massive event. Among other things, they showed again the trailer of the Final Fantasy VII remake that they are preparing, a news very celebrated by the countless fans of this game. But it is not the only news about the seventh installment of this saga that was originally launched in 1997, they also confirmed that they would launch a mobile version of the original title, smartphones and tablets.
Final Fantasy VII is one of those games that marked everyone who played it when first came out almost 20 years ago for PlayStation.

The remake of this title, announced for the first time at the Sony conference on June 15, was news that fans had been waiting for years, years of speculation and rumors that finally had a response from Square Enix.
Version for tablets and smartphones
But as we said at the beginning, the conference of the Japanese company yesterday served to expand the information about this mythical game, confirming that it also would arrive for smartphones and tablets in its original form. A movement that allows them to bring the game closer to the new generations in order to increase the 'hype' for the remake (still without a confirmed release date), and incidentally, serve those who already played it in their day, a new way to enjoy the title adapted to current times.
At the moment it has only been iOS version confirmed, that is, iPhone and iPad devices, but surely, and as has happened on previous occasions with Square Enix games, it will also come to Android. Its price, as it is not the first approach of the Japanese to mobile platforms, we can expect that around 15 euros, more or less what other ports made for touch screens of the company cost. Undoubtedly, it seems a game that due to its mechanics (based mainly on turn-based combat) can be perfectly adapted to these devices, where it will be possible to experiment again in a single way. unforgettable history and characters.
