Final Fantasy I and II coming to iPhone @ Gaming Target

News: Square Enix's classic RPG conquers another platform.

Square Enix has announced they will be bringing Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy II (the original Japanese FF2, not the American FF2, which is now known as Final Fantasy IV) to the iPhone sometime soon.

The oft-ported RPG will be added to the App Store with a new touch-based interface, enhanced graphics, additional dungeons not available in the original NES release and bonus content available after the games are completed.

To get a look at the graphical overhaul yourself, check out the first two screenshots for each game: Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy II.

And just in case you've been living under a rock since 1987, Square Enix has passed along plot summaries for both games:

FINAL FANTASY begins where four young warriors, each possessing a crystal, are summoned to bring the world back to a harmonious element balance. During their voyage, they discover a nefarious entity has created turmoil in the structure of time in order to take control of the world, causing the heroes to travel to places they never imagined possible.

In FINAL FANTASY II, a malevolent emperor has called upon monsters from a demonic realm to take over the world, ending what seemed to be an eternal period of peace. From the destruction rise four young survivors who will take it upon themselves to stop the merciless ruler and avenge the death of their parents.

We'll have more (hopefully including a release date for each game) soon.
