Welp, this took only years to see the light of day.
Triple Triad is a petite card game found in Final Fantasy VII. It’s much more fun to play it rather than spending countless hours just watching boring cutscene after boring cutscene. If you want to take a walk down on memory lane, here’s a link to the Triple Triad Card Game.
Nobody can ever forget the soundtrack that accompanied the game – sproing, peew, sproing, crackle!
Triple Triad hasn’t been forgotten by Square Enix. In their Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, released in 2013, on August, the card game makes an appearance. Although, a shallow one at best.
Developer Square Enix has since then decided that Triple Triad deserves a little bit more love and, of course, polish. So, they unveiled their plan of releasing TT on mobile devices. Great idea – people tend to play card games on tablets and smartphones.
The annoying bit? Besides taking just forever for it to launch, the Triple Triad game for Android and iOS is a freemium app.
As we all know, freemium is known as the bubonic mobile plague. You’ll be able to play the game without paying for anything, but if you want the full experience then you’ll have to cough up some cashola. That is, if you don’t mind waiting minutes, hours, and even days to play.
If you want to play a TT game, it will cost one crystal. By default you get five. It takes 30 minutes for you to restore a single crystal. Want to play more? then you need to purchase gils, which is an in-app currency that can be bought using real-world money.
The almost free Triple Triad card game isn’t a standalone app. It comes packed within the Final Fantasy Portal app. If you get that, then you’ll also have Final Fantasy 1 for free – it’s a limited time offer, so you better hurry with this one.
Furthermore, Final Fantasy VII is available on iOS devices starting today. It has a beefed up price-tag of $15.99 – considering the fact that the majority of paid games commonly cost 99 cents or $1.99, and they are riddled with ads, FF VII might be a bargain. Might.
Square Enix recommends players to use it on at least an iPhone 5, or an iPad, iPad Mini 2 third-generation tablet with iOS 8.
Using older hardware and software might make possible an appearance of ” unforeseen errors”, notes Square Enix.
Before you Cloud Strife fans pop a vein out of excitement, you’ll need 4 gigs of space, and 2 gigs of RAM to be able to play it.
