Other: I really am not looking forward to having my arthritis get worse in my hand/hands simply because I'm making several very small, very quick movements. Hell, it's one of the reasons I don't have a smartphone yet

I picked maybe. I would have thought I would love classic RPGs brought back to life mobile, but I've actually purchased several for my phone and don't play any of them. Mainly it's due to time. It's just much easier to play a couple rounds of Peggle Nights or Sudoku than to try and get into Final Fantasy and the likes.
And if I did have more mobile gaming time, I'd just buy a PSP and role-play on it instead.

If it was like Fallout 3 scaled down to wor on iPads and stuff I'd play it......... If I had an iPad that is
I could see a Fire Emblem-esque game working for the iPod/iPhone/Android. Just as long as it has autosave. In all honesty, it's the perfect game for the platform with it's pick up and play for a little while format.
Most mobile games are mediocre at best, awfull and shameless at worst. Due to limitations of phones, games made for them only present depth in form of repetetive gameplay, or grind if you will. So no.
I'm torn between my love for Chrono Trigger and the fact that the idea of playing an rpg on a phone is just too awful.
Some games, like Angry Birds, are cute and serve a nice "killing time while waiting for the metro" purpose. The idea of an RPG on a phone makes me want to toss my phone.

Well I played through the 25 hour long Chaos Rings on my iPod. Playing Chrono Trigger on my phone wouldn't be that bad if it were tweaked a little.
Not my cup of tea at all. Handhelds are superior to mobile phones (as a gaming platform) in most ways. Unless it's a "play 3 minutes at a time" game like Angry Birds or Cut the Rope then it belongs on a handheld where you have better battery life, usually better controls and not being interrupted mid game by a phonecall or having immersion shattered by receiving a text message.
If it came with a discount for a new phone, sure. My current one is rubbish for anything but calling/texting.
Y'know, DOOM RPG was actually pretty freaking fun. Played through it about eight times. So, yes.
I'd love to get a Chrono Trigger addition to that.
