Final Fantasy 15
Coming this fall, Final Fantasy 15 is being remade for the smartphones.

The whole game will be split into 10 titles, with the first one being available for free.
Dragon Quest 5
Even though some might argue that the gameplay is a bit traditional, no-one can say that the story is boring in any manner. In quite a unique way, the players are placed into the shoes of a main character, following him from childhood to adult years. Having to go through a mixture of hardships and triumphs, the main character grows and develops along the way. Plus, there is a monster-catching mechanic to spice things up.

This mobile RPG game is truly something unique. Combining the elements of strategy games and RPGs, the touch screen controls make for a perfect fit and provide a great overall experience.
