Takehiro Ando, Producer of Chaos Rings, said the following on the Square Enix DLG Facebook page: "I was moved to try CHAOS RINGS HD on iPad. Creators in Media Vision are so nice and clever that actually the game launched and moved! It was so exciting and impressive, especially battle scenes! Of course it needs many revising and adjustments, but now I seriously think CHAOS RINGS HD is quite a good idea, if CHAOS RINGS is appreciated."
