Final Fantasy Tactics iPhone release date

Out on Thursday.

The iPhone port of Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions launches on 4th August, Square Enix has announced on Facebook.

It costs 1800 yen, $15.99 or 12.99 Euro. We're checking with Square Enix now on UK pricing.

The iPad version will be released this autumn – "at least one month behind", Square Enix said.

The iOS port of the PSP strategy epic had been expected last month. Its July release window followed a previous delay from June.

You'll need an iPhone 3GS or above to play and, alas, the original's multiplayer mode has been lopped off.
