Very Bizarre FF XIII iPhone App Out Now, Only $8.99!
I'm rather caught off guard by this, but Joystiq is reporting the release of a new iPhone app by Square Enix that shows off still images from their latest addition to the Final Fantasy franchise, costing consumers just $8.99 to buy.
For the same price as both their iPhone versions of Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy II (to say nothing of the majority of the other games in their iPhone catalogue) you can have your hands on some screenshots that also multi-function as a calendar or clock.
I have to hope that somehow this is just an accidental glitch in pricing, and it will be corrected expediently, but if not this boggles me completely. I have a hard time believing even the most stalwart Final Fantasy fan will be interested in this, but I could be wrong. Would any of you guys ever buy it?

um no...
i don't think i would pay more than .99cents for images that i could find and save myself on my iPhone.
Since FFXIII is horrible, no, this doesn't interest me at all.
It doesn't surprise me that this costs so much. It /is/ SquareEnix after all, they like to price their DS games at $39 and bleed their fanbase dry.
Yeah I agree Derr, I wouldn't pay for this kind of content and especially the price.
It's not a fool who asks, it's a fool who pays. :P
But seriously, what were they thinking? The net is full of high-res images and art from the game...
sure, why not, if it plays like the game. if it's some subversion of it. forget it.
FFxiii is fun.
God, I love Lightning's design so much. That being said, this is a hilarious moneygrab
