NAMCO NETWORKS BRINGS FINAL FANTASY TO MOBILE DEVICES IN NORTH AMERICA
Namco Networks, a leading publisher and developer of mobile games and interactive entertainment for mass-market casual gamers, today launched the world's most renowned role-playing game (RPG), FINAL FANTASY®, on mobile devices in North America. Developed through a licensing agreement with Square Enix Co., Ltd., players assume the role of the Warriors of Light, attempting to restore light to the four elemental crystals and save the world.
Choose one of six characters-each with their own unique skills and abilities-and enter an epic journey where mysteries are unraveled. Gamers will travel by land, sea and airship to battle hundreds of monsters and enemies. On the quest to re-establish the light, players can gain experience, learn new spells and purchase weapons.
According to Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Namco Networks, Scott Rubin, "Our goal for FINAL FANTASY was to enrich the user experience by bringing the true definition of RPGs to handhelds."
"FINAL FANTASY revolutionized the RPG genre in video games and we are thrilled to work with Namco Networks to bring this dynasty to mobile phones in North America," stated Takuya Okada, producer of Square Enix. "Our partnership extends beyond FINAL FANTASY and we look forward to releasing additional games in the future."
The mobile version of FINAL FANTASY is available now across all major U.S. carriers and will be coming soon to Canadian carriers as well. For more information on Namco and its games, please visit www.namcogames.com or NAMCO GAMES on Facebook.
