The visual style will definitely clash hardcore with your nostalgia. It's still the same game with touch controls, but I'd still play GBA/PS1 over mobile version.

It's a great port but the controls are hard to get used to. In-combat stuff isn't so bad but walking around and interacting with stuff is The Struggle. I could see it being frustrating with a small screen as well. I have it for my galaxy tab pro 8.4.

yea i was concerned about that. I feel like using touch screen controls would be really uncomfortable.

I read somewhere awhile back that they were planning on making the IOS/android version much shorter in total play time with less grinding.

did you find that to be the case ?

Not really. They added an auto battle feature that is apparently supposed to make the game less grindy as you can just roll random encounters with it but I never used it so it wasn't really a longer or shorter experience than the original.
