Final Fantasy VIII’s Rinoa Heartilly is one of the newest characters making their debut in Itadaki Street Mobile: Final Fantasy for Japanese mobile phones. She joins SeeDs Squall Leonhart and Quistis Trepe in a Monopoly-esque board game developed by Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii. Players roll dice and buy properties to work their way around the board and to victory. The gameplay can be described as having a high-risk/high-reward type of play, and features many classic characters and locales from their respective franchises. Itadaki Street has hosted other cameos and crossovers from the Dragon Quest and Mario franchises for the PS2 and PSP in the past.
