    I can't really imagine playing BG on an ipad without using the "pause after each round" feature.
    Targeting party-unfriendly spells with an AOE would be difficult given the small screen.
    Maybe it's just the fact that my eyesight isn't as good as it used to be and I wear size XXXL gloves (though sometimes I can get away with XXL depending on the brand) that makes it that way, but I can't think of playing it on my android phone.

    Yup. Sacred RPGS and Holy Games are for Desktop playing only. :D

    Seriously, we just changed over to iPhones and we got the iPad for basically nothing(sales tax...) from US Celluar for doing so. Currently playing the orignal Shining Force I. Memories..... I see a bunch of FF games listed. I was wondering what else is looming around at the edge of the abyss that I don't know about. Games that require a lot of pausing, like BG series-type games, I think I will prefer to play on the desktop only. But old-school remakes seem to me to be right up the iPads alley...
