Doubt it.
Going by what the other mobile ports cost - FFIX's PC port will likely be the same price.
Unless you mean if it gets the 20% discount too - I hope it does.
Thanks!
Wow - $100? Hmmm...

It's up on the Play Store for 26.99. Check under Square Enix's page, it didn't show up for me anywhere else that I could see.

I think they've done this with the release of their other PC ports.

Not even. If any Final Fantasy re-release is worth that price, it's this one.
So I guess as a lot of you had already noticed this game needs an update. Doesn't work with MFi controllers like the nimbus.. Only movement works, right bumper for auto, left on the dpad for help and up for pause..
Bummer. Really wanted to dig into this tonight. Hopefully it is updated soon.

Touch controls are great. Best FF effort on iOS yet. You can use the floating analog stick as well as point and move (tho that sometimes doesn't work as well). And the sensitivity is just right.
Glad to hear it. I always found the touch controls fine for RPGs. They're a nightmare for action games, but for this, suits me just fine.

I already have on PSN. Should probably just play on my vita huh?

I won't pay 18 bucks for it because I know for a fact once I buy it, I won't play it for awhile and when I do play it, there will be a 50% off sometime in the future.

I'd own a lot more SE iOS games if they priced then like they lived in the real world.

4 to 8 GB is a lot. If I deleted all my games I still wouldn't even get close to 8 GB. I'd need to buy my own tablet just for this. I'd love to get this for my phone, but Steam would be so much easier to have installed and still have space for whatever.

Bought! I just saw that they released the original Seiken Densetsu game redone in 3D, too. Bought that, too!
Does that one work with this game? It seems like the Gamevice does, but some other MFI controllers don't.

Ah, right.
I didn't think that far. Perhaps we'll have to find confirmation first from the owners later.

Not an mfi controller. Near useless for iOS.
Glad some games are resisting the war of attrition iOS has on game prices. Devs need to make a living, too. Even if this is just a port.
*edit*
I would NOT buy a Mad Catz CTRL-I even if it worked with this game. Bought one, it broke first use and stopped taking battery power. Returned to Amazon for replacement, it wouldn't enter syncing mode with bluetooth out of the box. Returned it for my money back.

But real world games usually cost $60 on release?

re-releases from a decade or two ago though? No really though these aren't that expensive and well worth the price.
What exactly happens?
I have that one and it never worked with my FFVI iOS copy.

instant buy. One of my favourite FF games and it looks and plays great on my iPad.

Well if Square does the 20% and Greenmangaming will supply keys with their 20-23% discounts, then you can get this game hopefully less than $15

It always seemed like Fisher Price My First Mobile Port with that nonsense. My phone already has a battery indicator and a clock that I can swipe to see at any time. I certainly don't need a HUD element for them in the game.
I gotta say that I'm loving it. It's convenient to see the time, but even better to see the battery. If I didn't have the indicator, I would have lost my progress. It's convenient.
And no, you can not remove it.
I will say that the fact that the Steam version isn't out concurrently with the mobile version gives me some hope that there will be differences, i.e. the PC version won't have the huge mobile HUD.
Also, how are people not understanding that $16.99 is the regular price and the sale starts tomorrow? Should be around $12 for the sale period.
I've played only so far as Evil Forest and so far I think it's pretty well done. There are a few hiccups: the FMVs sometimes stutter at the beginning, and the battle speed isn't much changed (although menus definitely seem more responsive).
But overall I think it's a really worthwhile port.
The backgrounds are probably about as good looking as anyone could reasonably expect, and at least on my 5.7" phone screen I don't find the difference jarring. On my PC monitor it may be a different story, but we'll see.

And they "corrected" the little Alexandrian girl's "You dwopped your ticket" to "dropped". >:O

Easy... I'm in Japan and it is already the 10th and prices at 2000¥. So either the date is wrong for Japan and they meant the 11th, or it is already on sale for the west but a day early. My guess it is already on sale and are using the Japanese date.
We'll see tomorrow I guess, but $16.99 is standard for most of their FF titles and isn't a "30% off" price that makes any sense, as has already been pointed out earlier. That would make the regular price $25.49, and I really don't think that's the case, do you?
Don't know why I keep buying these. I own all the Final Fantasy games released on Android and I play them for about 10 minutes at a time before the touch screen controls get on my nerves. The new high resolution character models are pretty awesome though. I have been wanting to play through IX recently, so I'll probably get the Steam version as well...

Apparently the whole game was rebuilt in Unity engine, hopefully this means the PC version won't be barebones

Does that mean the game is actually a remake?
Not necessarily. They didn't remake any of the game content.
Nice, where'd you read that?

Seriously? It's a no buy for me now.

What! Why!?
Ugh... I thought this was going to be the best version of FFIX...
I mean I get changing "This guy are sick." but to change that? Lame. *continues to be mad over the internet*

Someone on steam forums opened up the android apk and found some unity files
