For the last five years, Clash of Clans (Free) has pretty much become synonymous with top grossing mobile games and a name recognized by most gamers, even those not that big on mobile games. This month, Supercell’s behemoth is celebrating its fifth anniversary, so expect to see all kinds of surprises, both in-game but also in real life as well. The game’s subreddit is also celebrating the anniversary with all kinds of posts, ranging from art, funny videos, and a running list of the best and worst changes players have seen in these last five years.
Supercell also posted some crazy stats that show how big this game is and how many people play it. In five years players have destroyed 100 billion Town Halls, 566 billion Archer Towers, and 4.7 trillion Walls. That destruction led to 44 billion three-star victories and, of course, to 1.9 trillion hours of rebuilding from all that destruction. How long have you been playing Clash of Clans?
I know it’s a long shot, but... Theaterythym?
Thanks for this
I love this game and own all square games also I hope others get updated too
Hope they update the game itself as well too it could use it
Exxxxxcellent.
This is great to hear! Is TWEWY compatible or does it need to be updated? That's another one of those SQE mobile games that is generally better on mobile and has better resolution / all content. I hope that works on ios11 and above.
I would love to get it if I knew it would be upgraded. They never have sales on it.
The World Ends with You is already 64-bit compatible.
Oh okay that's great news! I'm on an older iOS version so I can't check compatibility. Thanks for letting me know.
Super glad to hear this, one of my favorite games of all time! Now if the same can happen with Lunar, I can breathe easy....
What about chaos rings 3
Already 64 bits
Any chances to get see Updates for Chaos Rings 1,2 and Omega . I still love these games a lot
Didn't they remove those from the store?
I agree! I'd love to see those come back to iOS. OR at least get English versions on the PSN. I'd buy the Japanese Vita pack, but I don't want to switch my Vita.
squeenix, if you're listening...
I would love an update and/or overhaul of the touch controls for this one! i mean, while your at it n' all.
How's this playing on iPhone, nowadays? I know there were some technical issues at launch... I already have the PSP version on my Vita, but I can be persuaded to buy it again at $5.99 if it runs smoothly and has a nice resolution... any input from you guys is appreciated!
I believe the mobile version is the definitive version of FFT. They fixed the lag from the original version, high resolution and the biggest (and often unnoticed) change is they completely overhauled the sprite graphics. Not even sure why but that's probably the biggest update I've ever seen SQE give a premium mobile game. If you can find the old news post I had screenshots showing the comparisons. I think the only thing missing was the cool summon sub-text and I think the pvp(?) but it's a trade off I'm willing to accept. Honestly, it's hard to go back to the old version once you play the new one.
I bought it at $15 and it's worth $20. Controls are decent. They take some getting used to but after a while it becomes second-nature. I highly recommend this and hopefully the update will make it permanently playable on all future iOS.

^ Check this news article out :)
I played on psp and iphone. It looks better on iphone. Graphics and UI are looks sharp. Also controls are great too. I can say even more comfortoble than psp because you can touch anywhere on map when you need move your hero.
Best news of the month.
I played this after the last update was released (2013) and it kept crashing and causing me to lose my battle progress. Very frustrating and I eventually just gave up.
Hopefully this update addresses whatever is causing the crashes as well.
Good news, Square! Thx.
Any news on Project Octopath Traveler? ... olo olo olo olo tiny part of me still hope for an ios release. But Switch first. Can't wait.
Why can't touch arcade update their app if Cheap Charts can?
Cheap Charts doesn't review apps, I think. So they aren't endorsing or recommending games, which is one thing we get caught on. Eli has said if our Patreon exceeds its goal, we can look at doing a new app. We're halfway there, so convince 5,000 friends or so to subscribe at the lowest tier and we can get to work, haha.
If it costs too much put it up on kickstarter. I would contribute. We need an updated TA app!
Its out of their hands.
Its apple that refuses the update, not TA thats being lazy or anything.
Not true. You make it sound like they've already made an update but Apple is sitting on it. They have not. TA *thinks* apple wouldn't approve an update, and therefore are not putting in the effort.
Apple has rejected every update we have submitted since 2013- Even minor ones where we changed nothing but the icon to be properly sized for iOS 7. Where are you people getting this stuff from? We've been consistently open about the state of the app and the problems Apple has with it and folks seem to just love making things up instead.
People love fiction more than fact.
Baffling to me. TA has probably made Apple and developers millions of dollars. I wouldn’t know about any games other than the farming, Freddy’s Night or slots that dominate the top charts. In the TA app I can see reviews, community ratings, along with involved developers and player discussions for games I might be interested to play. I’ve discovered so many hidden gems. Apple should personally offer to develop the app for you or accept any updates. They take a lot for granted, and rules against TA is bad for the App Store and developers. #badapple
The problem is Apple doesn't pre-approve apps, or design documents, or anything like that. I'd have no idea what to even make our budget for the Kickstarter as we're basically banging our heads against a wall until Apple decides to let us in.
They explain this so much. The problem with updating is an issue with Apple changkng
They explain this so much, but one more time won't hurt I guess. The issue with updating stems from Apple changing app guidelines after this was released. They don't allow certain things this app currently does. So using a Kickstarter would allow them to update it, but change core features in the process.
Thx, that's are really great news! 😃👍
So that only leaves me with Lunar and the games from Hyperdevbox (Idea Factory ports)
Unfortunately I contacted Hyperdevbox myself and they told me since the games they ported were never coded in 64bit in the first place they will never be able to update them 😔
So I got over-excited after seeing this story that i immediately bought the game on my iPhone.
However I have an iPad Pro 12.9" which i intend to also use to play this game on and I just now realized there's square's weird thing about making a different app for the iPad.
I've never played the original game and would like to know if I should go ahead and ask for a refund and buy the iPad version or stick to the iPhone version - will it even work on my iPad?
I ended up doing the exact same thing and got a refund to buy the iPad version instead. It looks much better on the nice big iPad screen than the phone version blown up.
BRAVO!
I hope this update include widescreen.
Great news, Eli! Thanks.
Can anyone tell me if the iOS version is different from the android version? I tried the android version but found the controls to be frustrating, even with a bluetooth controller. Are they any better on iOS?
Exactly the same.
ugh, that is horrible as those controls were really bad and made gameplay so slow.
YEEEEESSSSS!!
Does this support MFI controllers? Thinking of getting it
I hope they update Chrono Trigger with iOS 11 and mfi controller support
