Square Enix working on two followups to Chaos Rings, Imaginary Range comic

Square Enix has announced three different iOS products in the pipeline for later on this year in both Japan and, eventually, the US. First up, original iOS title Chaos Rings is apparently getting not one but two different followup titles. The first will be called Chaos Rings Omega, and it will be a prequel (shouldn't it be called Alpha, then?), with the story set before the first game begins. Square Enix has also placed ads in a Japanese gaming magazine for a full-fledged "Chaos Rings II" sequel, though information on that is slim so far. But fans of the first game (which predated Infinity Blade as a full-featured, original AAA title for iOS) will have plenty to play through.
Square Enix has also announced an interactive comic book called Imaginary Range, which offers game-related elements and mini-games in conjunction with a full comic book story. It sounds intriguing -- in part because it doesn't sound like your average comic or game -- and it will probably be an interesting experience built just for iOS. Imaginary Range will be out on the 5th of May in Japan, and presumably we'll see an English translation here in the US soon after that.

Still not happy with the about charging essentially double for both iPhone and iPad versions, especially when all they really did was some smoothing tricks on th in game graphics and just added back in slighty higher res art on stills. Not worth 15 more dollars, and especially not when the saves games don't transfer between iPhone and iPad versions.
Granted Chaos Rings on the iPhone was good for a Square Enix game. Better then some of their recnet final fantasies. However they are used to the console fan base... iOS user are staring to form purchasing habit and expectations about Apps, games included. At 15 or 20 dollar game needs to have long term support, which most console game companies don't do. It's not in their normal structure.
Two words: Cool beans.
I have really been enjoying FF3 on iOS. Anybody know what is next on the legacy titles?
