Motomu Toriyama and Yoshinori Kitase's FINAL FANTASY XIII was released as its own dedicated app for iOS & Android devices earlier this year. With this you can stream it to your smartphone or tablet. Today, I installed it on my smartphone and was quite impressed.
I am using an Australian Internet connection which are years behind countries like Japan & the United States and despite this I was able to smoothly stream the game to my smartphone and after extensive testing of over an hour the game only stopped a couple of times and very quickly worked again. At times the graphics did go low but generally the game kept looking pretty good. At times I was blown away as the game looked stunning.
The controls also work quite well, I was able to control Lightning and win battles with little issue. However since my smartphone isn't that big some controls overlapped with each other but I managed to work around it.
All audio was preserved and plays perfectly.
The Android version runs pretty well on my smartphone so it must run really well in Japan. I hope to see the iOS & Android versions of FINAL FANTASY XIII released worldwide and versions of FINAL FANTASY XIII-2 and LIGHTNING RETURNS: FINAL FANTASY XIII for iOS & Android as well.
8/10
