I would say Final Fantasy Dimensions. The ports of the main series Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest games I've played haven't been awful but they weren't better then the console and handheld ports either.

How so? The ports is where everything takes an upward.

It might just be that I have the GBA, GBC, DS, and Playstation ports of the main series games and I feel the changes from those versions didn't improve them enough to be worth it.

The Playstation ports are horrible, and that's inexcusable for a piece of hardware that's superior to the SNES, somehow. The games took ages to load.

Meanwhile, the Android versions load everything in a snap, transition from and to everything else in a snap, etc, and that's for starters. The GBA ports are good, but they're limited by REALLY small screen size (you wouldn't have this problem on Android devices, 'small-screen' as they may be, as the game shows the entire console PoV instead of the GBA PoV), and the music is a bit hit or miss (the Android ports use the more correct SNES music to complement it instead). Add to that features like selecting a spell with a tap instead of pressing down 8 times and then left once to access Meteor or whatever, and I'm seeing a lucrative package.

wy4786: May I know why you've yet to finish an rpg on the android? Is it because of the controls?
Varies. For Shadowrun it was because it didn't have save support and lost me progress a couple of times due to being evacuated from RAM, and when finally they added save support that version didn't import the character correctly so I was in a worse situation than before. I figured I'd restart some day, but haven't yet.

For KOTOR, the controls are partially to blame, because they add to the difficulty. I stopped at some point where I wanted to see how alternate solutions end up, and it was a little difficult to get them.

In general, I don't spend a lot of time on gaming, and RPG's tend to be long, so I usually gravitate towards adventure games and if I do play RPG's they're just harder to finish because they take so long. Same happened on the PC too. I didn't even finish Planescape: Torment the first time.

tomimt: If you aren't in a hurry getting those Final Fantasy games for Android, Square usually has -50% sales during christmas for their Android titles.
Square has 50% off several times per year. One way to find out about them is the Final Fantasy Portal app, which is a general hub for FF news and other fan stuff. In the past Square Enix gave away FF1 and FF2 for free through this app. Another way is to use AppSales, which alerts you to any good sales.
Here's a similar topic I made...wow, it's been 3 years already. Ok, some of the games will undoubtedly be dated, but still definitely worth a look.

Good Old Android RPGs
Uhh.. Are there any good RPGs on Windows Phone? :P

Your only bets that I know of are FFI and FFIII. Go ahead with FFI as it's practically much better than FFIII. Though go with FFIII if you must have 3D visuals, a little more story (though not by so much) a classes system and whatnot.

You may be lucky if Kemco is on Windows Phone, because I don't know if they are. But Kemco makes good yet short RPGs at reasonable prices.

Alright, thanks. I'm waiting for a sale on the FF-games, I played through the demo of the first one, and it seemed good.

I didn't find any games by Kemco on the WP-store :(

Edit: I just remembered that I have ScummVM on the phone, and a few point & clicks from GOG. It works flawlessly. If the GOG-version of Eye of the Beholder works in ScummVM, this could be a good option.
