I guess that was the decision behind the Japanese publisher backing the <em>Hot! New! Everybody&#8217;s Doing It!<\/em> Ouya console with the announcement that Final Fantasy III would be one of its launch titles.<\/p>\n<p>The game will be &#8220;fully optimised&#8221; for Ouya, according to Square Enix-everything news site Square Portal, and include a free downloadable demo because the Ouya console is all about free-to-play&#8230; demos.<\/p>\n<p>Final Fantasy III launched on Android devices back in March already, so Square Enix committing a game that&#8217;s already been made to a console that doesn&#8217;t exist (yet) is a pretty risk-free proposition for the company. Square Enix will also apparently be providing &#8220;more content&#8221; for the console in the future. Wait, wait, I know &#8211; other Android-based ports of their back catalogue resized for your tellybox. <em>You read it here first<\/em>, people.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/ouya\/ouya-a-new-kind-of-video-game-console\" target=\"_blank\">Ouya Kickstarter campaign<\/a> has banked just over $5.8 million with more than a week still left on the clock.<\/p>\n<h5>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/squareportal.net\/2012\/07\/31\/final-fantasy-iii-is-coming-for-ouya\/\" target=\"_blank\">Square Portal<\/a><\/h5>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Related articles:<\/h3>\n<p><a title=\"Ouya console signs release deal with OnLive\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/42076-ouya-console-signs-release-deal-with-onlive.html\"><strong>Ouya console signs release deal with OnLive<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/41814-ouya-console-is-around-the-size-of-a-rubiks-cube.html\">Ouya console is \u201caround the size of a Rubik\u2019s cube\u201d<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/columns\/41522-is-the-99-ouya-console-a-non-starter.html\">Is the $99 Ouya console a non-starter?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/41691-human-element-prequel-to-be-an-ouya-exclusive.html\">Human Element prequel to be an Ouya exclusive<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/41128-ouya-console-kickstarter-makes-2-million-in-24-hours.html\">Ouya console Kickstarter makes $2 million in 24 hours<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/40810-99-android-based-console-announced.html\">$99 Android-based console announced<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baby&#8217;s first launch title<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":159,"featured_media":42199,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_enabled":true,"_sma_x_custom_text":"","_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,2226],"tags":[31,947,6013,2366,5467,211],"class_list":["post-42189","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","category-mobile","tag-active","tag-android","tag-final-fantasy-iii","tag-kickstarter","tag-ouya","tag-square-enix"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42189","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/159"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42189"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42189\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":42213,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42189\/revisions\/42213"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/42199"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42189"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=42189"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=42189"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
