Final Fantasy Pocket Edition

Within role-playing games there are several sub-genres that have in themselves a legion of followers and undoubtedly one of them are the JPG. The success of final Fantasy It is a good proof of this, but this time we are not going to dedicate an exclusive top 5 to it as we have done on another occasion, but we are going to review some of the other great titles that we have in the App Store y Google Play.

Final Fantasy XV Pocket Edition

Although we are not going to dedicate the top 5 exclusively to it, of course we cannot fail to include a reference to the star saga of the JPG And the truth is that it is difficult to choose a single title, but to simplify (and as we are going to do with others), we are going to highlight the latest installment and we invite you to take a look at our selection of the best Final Fantasy games for iOS and Android if you are looking for more suggestions. It is important to take into account regarding this Final Fantasy XV Pocket EditionIn any case, it appears as a free download but the full content is downloaded by chapters through in-app purchases.

Dragon Quest VIII

Final Fantasy is not the only jewel of the JRPG what has left us Square-Enyx in Google Play and the App Store and of all of them the one that most deserves to be on a list like this is probably Dragon Quest, a saga that has always lived a bit in the shadow of the other and which is really very similar, but also has many fans. Again, choosing a specific delivery is quite complicated (preferences really vary a lot depending on what each one likes one or another story) and we are going to try to simplify it by referring to the last one, which changes some elements of the gameplay (regarding the upgrade system and specializations) but we would even say that it does it for the better.

Chaos Rings II

One more game of Square-Enyx, but in this case it is not a version for mobile devices of a saga whose fame has been made in the field of video consoles, but one created specifically for smartphones and tablets (something that can be appreciated, for example, in the inclusion of a fast-paced game mode). It stays pretty true to the spirit of the classics, anyway, including the isometric view and turn-based combat. It must be said that it is really a saga (as evidenced by the fact that the featured one arrives with an "III"), but we can no longer download the first installments, something that many will surely regret when they try this one.

Secret of Mana

It's hard to resist completing this top 5 with just titles from Square-Enyx, which is undoubtedly the reference study for this type of game, but to make room for others we are going to add just one more and, although it was difficult to choose between Chrono Trigger y Secret of Mana, two true classics of the genre, we have finally decided on the second. Despite being a classic (or maybe it is thanks in part to it), it must be said for those who did not know it that it does not use turn-based combat, but was one of the first to introduce action in real time, which It can also make a more interesting option for those who are usually more inclined to ARPG or even hack and slash.

Ice Chronicles 1

Y's Chronicles It is another interesting option for those who enjoy other RPG elements but who are not convinced by turn-based combat, since here we also have more action. What is most worth highlighting in this case, however (and without this meaning that we want to undermine the value of the original), is the quality of the port, something that we cannot say that surprises us either because DotEmu is a studio specialized in them and that has left us excellent versions for mobile devices of many other classics. It's not exactly a cheap game, but we're almost tempted to put the price in between the pros, on the other hand, because the great games of the genre tend to be quite expensive.

Zenonia 5

As, indeed, the top 5 has not only been limited to paid games and all of them rather expensive, we are going to include an extra this time specifically dedicated to all those who cannot or want to pay to play, with one of the best JRPG Services that we can find for iOS and Android, which is this Zenonia. It is not the only thing that it has in its favor, in any case, to attract a wider audience, since it is also a game created specifically for mobile devices, with a real-time combat system and PvP battles. Once again, there are several installments to choose from, and we highlight the last one only because of how difficult the choice is.
