Square Enix's RPG Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions released in New Zealand, iPhone-only for now

Square Enix's Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions has finally landed on New Zealand's App Store, meaning it won't be long before it hits the rest of the world, too.

This tactical RPG was originally released way back in the forgotten mists of 1997, but was remastered a few years ago for the PSP.

The iPhone version spruces things up again, adding in gesture-based controls and optimised graphics to complement the isometric perspective and strategic gameplay.

You should bear in mind that today's release is iPhone-only, so if you've got an iPad, you'll probably want to hold off for now. An iPad edition is currently scheduled for "Fall 2011".

Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions is out now on the Kiwi App Store, with a UK and US appearance to follow at around midnight this evening, likely priced at £10.99 / $15.99.
