On Mobage: Final Fantasy Brigade Hits 2 Million Users [Social Games]

O

Nice win for DeNA and maker Square Enix: Final Fantasy Brigade, the first social game using IP from the super-popular console RPG series Final Fantasy, has racked up 2 million users on Mobage.

Square Enix has come up with a weird campaign to commemorate the milestone: users can get a so-called “Debu Chocobo” (debu means fat in Japanese), a large-sized version of the birds that traditionally appear in every Final Fantasy game.

Players who feed Debu Chocobo (pictured below) regularly can expect him to give out rare virtual items or skills in return. The campaign runs through March 29.

Final Fantasy Brigade was launched on Mobage on January 6 and hit 1 million users not even one month later.
