Final Fantasy Record Keeper: Retro Pixel Fun For Mobile

There's a new Final Fantasy coming to mobile devices, and this time it's not just about bringing back a classic. This will be Final Fantasy Record Keeper, a game that mashes up awesome elements from the Final Fantasy universe into one retro-styled pixelated adventure. The keeper of the histories of Final Fantasy – that's you – and you're tasked with keeping the realm safe. This game isn't about cashing in on the past – it's about keeping it in good condition – and in-app purchases, of course.

We don't expect this app will end up costing you as much as previous releases of Final Fantasy for mobile devices. Unless you really, really like to upgrade your experience. Patience and acceptance of a slower game are going to bring you a long way, here.

For now you're going to have to make due with the Japanese trailer as the USA-based trailer has not yet been released. We'll expect the English-speaking trailer to arrive sooner than later.

UPDATE: And just like that, here's the English edition!

This game has reached the 5-million download mark in Japan and – almost as a celebration, it seems – will be hitting US shores soon. USA-based mobile gamers wishing to register their interest in the game as soon as possible can do so through the official FFRK website in English.

If you DO choose to register early, you'll get a Final Fantasy 10 Tidus character unlocked in the game when the game is released. How lucky!
