As Final Fantasy fans continue to wait on news of Final Fantasy VII's inevitable remake, Square Enix has been looking at a new way to enjoy this RPG classic. The company was looking to bring the game to mobile devices, prevoiusly stating that it would take years to get it there. And by "years," of course, they meant "less than two," because it's actually coming to iOS later today. (Of course, to be fair, phones are a lot bigger, space-wise, than they were when that statement was originally taken.)

IGN noticed the iOS launch trailer hit YouTube earlier today. However, the link to the iTunes listing on the trailer's YouTube page is not live at the moment. As the folks at Touch Arcade have pointed out, the game is currently live in New Zealand, however, the U.S. App Store is set to receive it later tonight at 8PM PT.

There's still a PS4 version of the original Final Fantasy VII still lined up for this holiday season, but those looking to get the game on iOS sooner can pick it up tonight from the App Store.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
