Perspective there, they are talking about reluctance to change stuff due to lack of time to QA it properly now that they are down to under 2 months to release when it is coming to at least one platform that has to pass through an approval process prior to getting released on their market and that happens to be the big meaty market they are hoping to hit, so I don't think they are looking to be bug testing down to the last minute. Not necessarily something they called back when they started the project. Definitely seems like they went in with high hopes and might be having to shave it back to more shippable product rather than dream project, but that is what happens. We know that because we pay enough attention to the industry to know that is the story of like damn near everything.
The bleak reality of it is that they are making this on a short schedule probably on a low budget and are aiming to make a profit on a mobile market with a big install base (quick google gives bad figures from flaky sites, but I would peg just the iPad install base at close to PS3 or X-Box levels including corporate purchases). Any PC sales are more than likely just going to be gravy.
The douchey part of my of course is going to point out that it is still better than FF remakes. On any other platform these arguments wouldn't be happening, we would be happy to be seeing roughly a straight port 10 years later because the company that makes the latest version of the console yanked out backwards compatibility because it was expensive.
Also browsing the forums a bit, looks like there is at least some drive to get some kind of mod support in? So I guess there is that.
Also also, for a bit of lols. Mobile versions are going to be $10 and not come with the extra characters by default (They will be available for purchase in store). So it is price matched for the same content, just not on a platform that has access to it.
You could argue that 12 years later the Baldur's Gate name might not pull in the random new people to the mobile market, but hey, a new Ultima mobile game was just announced and that has even less modern relevance and still got a bit of buzz in the intertubes. People will buy fucking anything with a known brand on it seems to be the line of thinking.
