G-BIKE is one of the most beloved mini games from the FINAL FANTASY series. First appearing in FINAL FANTASY VII at specific points in the main story or from the Gold Saucer amusement center, this G-BIKE title is now completely re-imagined to a brand new mobile experience. Customize, level-up, and collect items for your characters to perform exciting actions in full 3D stages as you fight familiar boss monsters and take on different missions.

Introduction
The start of a possible slew of mobile games from Square Enix themed interestingly with the Golden Saucer from the iconic Final Fantasy VII. I have created a poll to ask how you feel about this game, I would like for you to give your opinion with the poll, and also share your opinions in the thread as well.
I have outlined a few points for discussion split in paragraphs for you to easily read without being overwhelmed by a large post like this.
Topic points for discussion
With mobile gaming becoming very popular, it makes sense financially to invest in this platform of gaming. With new hardware/software innovations like the recently announced Metal at Apple's WWDC 2014 earlier this month, mobile gaming is only going to become more impressive both with better visuals and higher performance. This large market share with mobile devices creates the opportunity for companies to release smaller titles that are "pick up and play" friendly, allowing consumers to enjoy a game without having to dedicate a large amount of time to it at any given time. Developers also feel more safe knowing that almost everyone has a smartphone or smart device, which far exceeds the install base of any conventional gaming platform.
Knowing that a possible future for other Golden Saucer or other Final Fantasy experiences coming in the later future, what are your expectation for future titles as well, and how do you think that the general consumer base will receive this information?
Currently, the video posted in this thread has a very split opinion, with 500+ likes and 300+ dislikes, it's apparent that not everyone is happy with this title. Is it possible that fans are truly not interested in a title like this? Or, is it more a backlash from Square Enix not releasing an HD Final Fantasy VII, instead opting for a mini game adaption in a mobile environment as a few people point out in the comments.
Conclusion
As for my opinion, I really enjoy this idea, and will be downloading it personally. As this is a free game with the F2P model that many Japanese mobile games use similar to Square Enix's Guardian Cross, it's certainly something that I can easily spend time on whenever I want. This idea of taking a familiar popular title and popular mini game and turning it into a fun quick mobile game really interests me, and I'm looking forward to other games in the future... Perhaps, Triple Triad?
Thank you for taking the time to read my post, please share your opinions below, I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
