Square Enix announced the Square Enix Market at the Tokyo Game Show which the company will use to offer their games and apps for Android devices. As an Android owner I've been quite jealous of iOS users who got access to Square games, so this is just awesome for me. However, before we get too excited I should note that the market is currently scheduled to launch later this year and only in Japan.
Games that are coming to the Android and the iOS market include the famous Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy Legends, Itadaki Street, and Dragon Quest Monsters. Final Fantasy 1, Final Fantasy 2, Chaos Rings, Chaos Rings Omega, and Crystal Defenders were all shown for the Android marketplace as well.
Hopefully the SE Market will come over to the United States early next year, as I'd love to play some of these games on my phone when I'm on the go. Would you be interested in some classic Square Enix games on your Android device, or are you set with Game Dev Story and Angry Birds?

I'm pretty excited for FF :)

I have never researched about this game but the characters look like they were done by the same guy that made the Dragon Ball Z characters.

@Square Enix:
How 'bout a Multiplatform [PC, Wii U, PS3, & X360], FULL CONSOLE REMAKE of Chrono Trigger, with updated battle mechanics (either Kingdom Hearts', or FF13's battle mechanics), and a totally new animation style?
[Tetsuya Nomura's animation style > Akira Toriyama's animation style.]
(See: Chrono Resurrection)

This is why Square Enix is slowly losing my respect as a company. Instead of working on new titles they decide to try to cut in on a market that already emulates these NES/SNES/N64/PSX games for free on their Androids
Anyone who has an Android and wants these games on your phone. Try using Google, you'd be surprised how easy it is to play FF7 or Chrono Trigger on your Android Phone.

I just don't understand why they can't put these old school rps on the xbox live arcade or psn. Every one knows the SNES had the best rps.

There's just so many homebrew apps that have done this already....I wish the media would acknowledge these things! This new culture that hides away from anything remotely suggesting the dreaded copyright infringement is so frustrating because we are closing our eyes to reality! FINAL FANTASY VII IS ON MY HTC EVO RIGHT NOW. That is a fact, and it is part of this article! Recognize!

I loved playing Chrono Trigger growing up, and I still consider it my favorite game of all time, but I can't imagine playing it on a phone. I feel like you have to sit down and get drawn in to the story and the music for a few hours to really enjoy it, which is hard to do on a phone.
