An iPhone/iPad port. Doesn't look like there's much in the way of new content, either...

Leave it to Square Enix to hype up an iOS port ○|￣|＿

At least I can look forward to the new soundtrack.

Hrmmmm.... have any of you been following Brian Gray's Twitter comments? (One of the translators for TWEWY-> https://twitter.com/brilingual)

He's been doing his part to hype the game, and is now receiving major flak because of the iOS port. His last comment though...

"To those worried gameplay was watered down/discarded to get this on iOS-no way. Everything, EVERYTHING has a competent or better analogue. The concept of "trust your partner" and how it ties into gameplay is fully intact too. It looks and plays really, freaking great. But I'm not dumb. You were expecting something else. I think the iOS release will make you happy in the end. That's all I have to say."

The part I'm concerned with is the last one- "But I'm not dumb. You were expecting something else. I think the iOS release will make you happy in the end. That's all I have to say." It seems rather like shooting yourself in the foot repeatedly to hype a game (#moredripthanleak), and then continue to tell fans ( ... )

The iPad port costs 2000Y, that would be about 20€ or like 25$. The question is how many people will actually buy it. The problem might be that most of the users won't pay such a high price for "just" an iOS game, if they are not fans of the original.
If they had released it on Android it might have been even worse.
So they might have a setback with the sales of the remix, but we'll see. It could still be a large hit in Japan.
