Square Enix Inc., the publisher of Square Enix interactive entertainment products in North America, announced today that two RPG classics, FINAL FANTASY and FINAL FANTASY II, are available now for the iPhone and iPod touch. The games can be downloaded from the Apple Store priced $8.99.

Originally released for the NES in Japan back in 1987 and 1988, these two classic adventures return for a new generation to enjoy, available for the first time ever on the iPhone and iPod touch, featuring graphics, sounds and controls that utilize the capabilities of the new host systems.

In addition, to celebrate the releases, for a limited period only, five additional Square Enix apps will be available at new lower prices.

Both FINAL FANTASY and FINAL FANTASY II feature optimized control systems specifically developed for the iPhone and iPod touch interfaces, enabling users to play the game as intuitively as possible by simply touching the screen. Both games also feature extra dungeons, not available in the original 1987/1988 versions, allowing players to continue these epic adventures after completing the main story.
