Title pretty much says it all. I’m gonna buy an RPG for my iphone. My options are:
(1) Wait for Chrono Trigger to come out this month - hope it’s not a crappy and buggy port. Hope it’s not too high of a price point.
(2) FFIII and FF Tactics both get great reviews, but $15.99 brings with it some serious sticker shock (funny when I used to pay $30-50 for a NES game, but times change I guess…)
(3) Secret of Mana- $8.99
That’s pretty much the extent of my research. I have played and liked FF1 and FF2. I own King of Dragon Pass (slightly different - but I see it recommended here so I wanted to mention I already owned it). I know a lot of people swear by Secret of Mana.
Which RPG would you recommend? One of the listed ones? Something else. Help me out, my app buying finger is getting itchy. 
Any thoughts - particularly by people with first hand knowledge would be much appreciated.
I’m near the end of Eternal Legacy and it really has been pretty good. Not a classic by any means, but a pretty fun game. A bit too easy.
I wanted to get FFIII as well, but have heard the save system sucks. Can you really not save before a boss and end up having to re-do the whole dungeon if you die in a fight?
Oh, looks like Eternal Legacy is still on price drop to 99 cents, by the way. It is easily worth that.
I’ll check it out. Thanks. 99 cents seems perfectly reasonable!
Any other recommendations?
Yes.
Chaos Rings and it’s sequel(prequel?) Chaor Rings Omega.
I haven’t played them yet, but they get more or less raves. I’m waiting for a Xmas price drop. They are $11.99 now, but go down to $6.99 sometimes. I have them on my appshopper.
Wolfenstein RPG was fun, but rather short. More fun if you played Wolfenstein 3D back in the day. Nice sense of humor. Also was 99 cents recently, which is reasonable.
I just finished Eternal Legacy, by the way. OK game, but horrible ending.
Not one word is spoken. Not one bit of text. Just people standing there smiling, thinking, “hey, good job!” and then nothing.
