As a port of the PC version released on Steam in 2013, the iOS version of FFVII was announced by Square Enix on E3 this year for a summer release. They pretty much kept their word on that promise, and the game is now available to download for iOS powered devices such as the iPhone 5S, iPad mini 2, and the 3rd Generation iPad. The game requires iOS 8.0 and 4GB worth of space to download, and 2GB of memory to play and install, so it’s wise to free up memory before purchasing the game, which costs $15.99.

What’s interesting about the iOS version is that Square Enix not only incorporated touch controls, but also giving players the option to turn off random encounters in the game. That pretty much means that fans can speed run and avoid unnecessary battles if they want to finish the game fast.
Interesting enough, the launch trailer is the exact same one Square Enix used to announce the disappointing Playstation 4 port of the PC Version of Final Fantasy VII – which preceded the news and official announcement of the remake that happened on E3 this year.
Originally released in 1997 for the original Sony Playstation, Final Fantasy VII followed the story of a mercenary named Cloud Strife and a renegade group called AVALANCHE as they sought to save the planet from the abuse and evil machinations of the Shinra Electric Power Company. Along the course of the adventure, Cloud recovers his true memories and tries to come to terms with his past, bonding with his allies and meeting new challenges, which includes combating his former idol turned enemy in Sephiroth. — GMA News
