FINAL FANTASY VII for Negative User Reviews
✓ Good!So happy to see this on mobile! Couple of improvements. 1. Full screen: I have also noticed that on all the final fantasy series that full screen is not available, could this not be changed across the board? I know that full screen is a more immersive experience than letter boxing. 2. In battle controls: they are a little unresponsive, perhaps make the d-pad bigger? I think this a great port of a wonderful game with a timeless story. Why not make it an excellent port! I look forward to future updates for Final Fantasy 7 as well as the others! Update: Still no fullscreen on any of the final fantasys; i have an XR now and it’s distracting to see the two time and dates because no mind has been paid to the problem in the past. I know that square is working on FFVII remake but is it that hard to fix these simple issues for the phones? Please fix these problems, thanks. Update July 2020: Well, I believed that I asked for a full screed mode and now the resolution has further reduced in size. Square, do you actually read these? Do you care what you customers concerns or praises are of your product? I know that several other final fantasy games have the same resolution problem; is it that hard to fix? Again I ask, do you care?.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Needs a fixThe game can stand for itself, but the app remains flawed. It still goes on PAUSE in the middle of a battle, and there is no way to get out of it other than a restart. You lose all the progress you've made up to that point. Absolutely frustrating!!!.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Impossible move to downstairs in Aries homeCan’t run go down stairs in Aries’s home. But it is impossible to control on iPhone. Every time try to slow down all failed. Tried for hours and have to give up. Could u do something about it? Help to escape this part of hard mission?.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Buggy and unable to progressIt is a fairly nice port of the pc version but im unable to progress due to bugs (using iphone 6 plus with latest 8.0 os): 1. At the 1st time at aeris's house i am unable to sneak out. I hold down B and try to walk step by step but aeris still comes out every time i hit the 3rd or 4th step. Unable to progress to progress beyond this point. 2. Occasionally when i load a save file, the game speed increases considerably and this affects things in the field and battle. I have to reset my iphone 6 plus to get the speed back to normal again. Has happened more than twice so its annoying to have to reset each time it occurs. Everything else seems as i remembered with some slightly updated models. On the iphone 6 u can see the graininess of the pre rendered backgrounds but that is a result of the games age and is not disracting..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Nostalgic...ButAs an Avid FFVII Player I Will Start Off By Saying The Actual Gameplay of This is Great, I Have No Issues With Freezes or Lag Hits or Anything as Some of the Previous Reviews Stated (Which Really Kept Me Cautious to Buying This...) However, as the Newer Editions of this Game Come Out (Via PS4/iPhone) They Like to Keep Adding 'Easy Buttons' to the Game. I Personally Think They are Ruining the Game... The Good News is Though, You Don't HAVE to Use Them. If You are a First-Time FF7 Player, I Really Suggest Not Playing This Version to Start Off, the New Age of Gamers Tend to Have a LOT Less Patience with Games, and That Being Said, with the Difficult-to-Use D-Pad and the As-Always Screwed Up Help Box (Not Labeling Ladders and Doors Correctly, Gotta Love Squaresoft xD) It Will Be Very Difficult to Navigate If You Have Zero Idea What You Are Doing. My Only True Dislike About this Rip is the D-Pad, It Seems Very Difficult to Hit the Left Arrow at Times and Gets Pretty Aggravating in a Battle Trying to Click the Correct Spell. Other than that Issue, I Personally Enjoy this Overall..Version: 1.0.5
✓ The game is amazing, ideal would be support for controllersAs per subject, the ultimate improvement that can be done to this title is to make it controllers compatible. I don’t believe this will represent a major developing work, and would make the title absolutely perfect and unmissable. K.Version: 1.0.5
✓ AwfulThe lack of touch controls makes this game unplayable. Don’t waste your money. I will be seeking a refund.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Square, take noteThe game runs way too fast, I don't understand why the porting team made this decision? It's off putting, I have so many friends who were excited to play and all refuse to buy the game after seeing what looks like cloud running around like he has had too much coffee. Put down the mug cloud. Want 5 stars? Please correct the speed issue, add MFi controller support and you'll have a very very happy fan, right now this feels rushed, pun intended..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Just lazyI’ve played every Final Fantasy IOS game and this is obviously the worst effort. The game itself is great. And that makes the laziness with which this version was developed that much worse. I wish they’d put the effort into this game that they put into FFIX. Until then, this game in its current form isn’t worth the time. Play any of the other Final Fantasy ports before this one. Edit: I was wrong- about it not being worth the time. The game is spectacular. And again that makes the lack of effort on Square’s Part so much worse. It seems like they knew this game was so popular they didn’t need to polish it for people to buy it. And they’re right, but it’s disrespectful to us and disrespectful to their own masterpiece. This is by far the worst port of arguably the best game..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Game breaking glitchI wonder if the people leaving these glowing reviews actually played through the hole game. When you get to the top of the tower after fighting back to back bosses you have to use cloud to start another boss battle, but the game glitches out on a TUTORIAL SCREEN and will not let you progress. I’ve done it step by step I’ve gone online to see if there’s a way around it and nothing. I’ve gone to app support, but doesn’t say anything. This problem has been around since the steam port so obviously they just ported it to mobile without fixing these game breaking bugs. I tried for over 3hrs and fighting the same battle over and over. I’m done I’m just gonna get a refund. If a game is unable to be finished then what’s the point of selling it..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Great game but square you disappointLike last time I bought an ff game for iPhone (like 6 years ago (ff1)) now that an update came out there is no sound. They never fixed that so I doubt they’ll fix this. guess I’ll have to buy it for switch. The Game it self is one of the best ever made. Of course the soundtrack is a big part of that..Version: 1.0.5
✓ DisappointedMassive FF fan since the early 90s, FF7 being my most favourite, disappointed with game to the point Apple have refunded me, decent audio and graphics but what is with the game frames getting bigger, FF9 was bare able but this no... I hope you don't do this with FF8 but this lacked a lot of mods compared to FF9..Version: 1.0.5
✓ IPhone XWould be a 5star because I know that this is the exact same as ps version. And in my opinion it’s the best game of all time!! It’d be great if they recreated it exactly the same but with today’s graphics 👌🏻 anyways reason for my 2star is it’s not full screen for iPhone X is there going to be an update for this?? It’s far to small to play enjoyable on my phone :/ and I’m not really happy paying £16 for something that I can’t get into because of it..... fix this please??.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Doesn’t work on IOS 13. Last updated 3 years ago?!Poor support from Square Enix. They haven’t even bothered trying to keep the game functioning for newer iOS releases. Lazy developer..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Needs updateLove FF. Got into it with 7 on the PlayStation. But this app just keeps crashing. And you all know how long you can go between save points for it all to crash and have to start all over again!! Needs addressing sharpish.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Hate the controls, no auto saveI am a very big fan of all the RPG remakes such as previous final fantasy games and dragon quest games. But this is the only game that I am growing frustrated with the controls on. Just getting your character to move in a specific direction takes some concentration. Then I'm passing by so many items and materia because I can't freakin see it on the screen. No indicators. If you never played this game (like me) you will be lost. Thankfully I can turn on indicators for doors and such. This game looks like I am looking at the PS1. Hate those graphics. Then there is no freakin autosave or I just can't figure it out. I played the game for about 30 min straight going through cut scenes and all. I get a text message and view the message real quick and reply. I go back to the game and it's at the startup of the app again and all was lost. Final fantasy V to me is a better remake than this game is and I just played that for the first time as well. I hope FF9 is better than this..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Great port, but needs fix for home button erasing all game dataThe port runs very well and feels true to the original! The same music, same look and feel, and the interface feels the same! I'm falling in love with this game again. Technology has advanced a lot so the flaws of the original are more readily apparent, not like on the TV sets of old where it looked flawless. This makes it more authentic IMO, and I wish Square had also done this with FFVI instead of redoing the art to a substandard level of quality. To all those complaining about widescreen, what do you expect? The game was made for 4:3 analog televisions. Do you expect them to stretch the source material like in some other ports? I sure hope not. It's great on my 4:3 iPad. :) Don't like the button opacity? Change it in the config! What would make it a five star port for me: Lost all of my progress after pressing home and returning to the game later. Continue was greyed out and I had to start all over. Over world and some scenes are too laggy and should be rendered at 1024x768 instead of 2048x1536. Music should not restart from beginning after a battle. Fix these bugs and it's five stars from me. It would also be nice to hide the god mode and random encounter options. Stuff like that ruins the game IMO..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Lazy lazy lazyAs a huge ff7 fan, this is a major disappointment. Regular crashing makes it hard to progress due to the way saving works in the game. The controls are terrible with zero thought by the developers. The game needs more love before it is playable on an iPad. I regret buying it even though I'm a ff7 fan..Version: 1.0.5
✓ A gaming milestone, but leaves more to be desired.By far one of the most memorable final fantasy titles, but this app hasn’t been updated in 4 years. for the price of the title, could we get some upgrades to the UI? either better touchscreen controls or support for bt controllers? anything to make this play less like an emulator and more like a proper port. it hasn’t even been updated to support newer phone sizes not to mention the phone’s time, battery, etc display is still off to the side like I’m playing this in a portrait-locked internet browser. the quality of the game’s content is ofc amazing, but the experience of the app is extremely unpolished. especially for the golden, poster child of all SE and FF..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Crashes and you lose your progressJust got through a really hard part of the game and was happy with my progress after working so hard to get past the hard past. Then it just closed. I clicked on the app again and it took my to the Title screen - all my progress was lost. Absolutely awful experience that never happened on my old phone, it’s only ever happened on this App Store ff7 and that is actually awful considering how much I paid for this brand new phone. So annoyed ..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Max Stats option doesn't max every character?This is one of my top 5 games of all time, and that's the only reason this gets three stars from me. The app for 6s plus is adequate, but needs a widescreen option and customizable controls. My biggest complaint is when using the max stats feature (at the beginning of the game, I haven't tried using it later on), a few of the playable characters do not get maxed to level 99 or have all their limits as intended. Yuffie, Cait Sith and Vincent in particular come into your party with a random level. It would be nice if this issue were to be addressed, but their levels are still high enough to speed run without any struggle for those who are wondering. This port also does not have the quality the PC port has, which is disappointing. Overall, I don't regret purchasing the app, but it needs work..Version: 1.0.5
✓ No Keyboard Mapping!?!?Final Fantasy VII on the iPad! One huge problem: the controls are on the screen, and you can't map them to your keyboard. The on-screen buttons take you out of the game. It's not easy to navigate Cloud by your fingertips alone, clogging up the screen as you go. Would be nice if I could use my keyboard instead for the game's controls. Allow me to be immersed with the game on screen. That, or allow full touch interaction with the game itself to make the controls worthwhile. Tapping attack, or magic, or item, or tapping on a target itself. Rather than tapping the arrow keys and buttons on the screen itself, which lays on top of the combat interface. It's a novelty to have it on my iPad. But it doesn't allow the nostalgia to sink in when you have to tap controls that are fixed on the screen, with only 4 minor configurations to choose from..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Fix the "Pause" bug!!!I love playing FF7. I can stand the lag issues and all but the only thing that really frustrates me is the game randomly pauses during the battle! If you are in battle arena, there is no chance in progressing coz the game pauses and thats it! You cant un-pause the game! You have to restart. Back to ZERO! Fix Fix Fix please!.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Major Game Crashing BugEnjoying the game up to the Shinra HQ prison Scene. But when I escaped the prison there was no blood on the floor or any way to continue the game. Really annoyed as I've put in several hours. Hope Sqaure Enix can either refund my money for a faulty game or give me a save data that I will be able to continue from. Very disappointed especially when it cost £12.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Non-Playable on 12 ProPhone goes to sleep when using a bluetooth controller since the screen is not getting input. Status bar remains on the screen after the game launches and stays, very distracting. Graphics looks worse than my actually PS1 playing FF7. This feels like a quick, poorly done port as a quick cash grab. This is a disservice to the franchise and its fans. Especially for the price your asking for this. I should've read the reviews listed by most recent before purchasing. They keep the good reviews from 5yrs ago on top since Apple cares more about sales than customer satisfaction. With all the new iPhones and iPads that have been released, you would think ports like these would get proper updates. Square and Apple have fallen a long way from their roots. Shame.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Still Ok even with problemsMy favorite game from childhood. Unfortunately mini games are messed up, music seams to just continually start at the beginning in some locations. Speed coaster and just a jumbled mess of images that would cause a seizure and they added touch screen support which is a terrible addition... Honestly it’s not even worth playing on a iPhone. The experience sucks if you want to go for completion... but it’s kinda fine to just run through the game quick and burn some time..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Port is StupidThis review I’m writing is not about the game itself but the port. This port is the least impressive final fantasy port I have played. I have been impressed with all the other ones. If you put your phone to sleep or turn off your screen for any decent amount t of time the game will just go back to the menu. Usually this wouldn’t t be an an issue but the port doesn’t even have a functioning auto save feature that works. The other ports I have played from the other final fantasy’s on the phone do. In 9 it autosaves from ever room transfer. In 5 it suspend saves every map or foe or town transfer. This game, has an option to turn on that doesn’t even work. This port was not freaking designed with being on a phone in mind. You literally have to devote enough time to get from save point to save point to be able to play this game. I’m not impressed. If you wanna play 7 but you want it on the go, don’t get this one. Break out your old psp and download it off of the PlayStation network and at least you can put the game to sleep and come back to it. Jesus Christ please fix this..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Horrible controlsThe terrible controls make it really hard to enjoy this game. A lot of missing what you meant to click or hit. Forget ever playing Vincent. The controls will shoot right over the number and then your screwed. Such a shame since I was really looking forward to this memorable game..Version: 1.0.5
✓ NostalgicBrilliant! But I wish they made it more then just port...adding touch instead of a digital controller and allowing a full screen on 6 plus. But besides that the game is just as good as it's always been...and the saves are exactly as they were before...still a great game!.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Why does it freez and pause and you cant unpause itI played and bought the game but it freezes and it pauses on fights when i was at the dessert it automatically pauses and it freezes how can i finish this game if this happends can you guys please fix it im using a iphone 5c i dont know if thats useful for tou guys but please fix it i cant finish the game.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Awful controlsLove the game since the original release, but the controls for this app are horrible. Get rid of the virtual controller and update with touch controls like all the other FF ports please..Version: 1.0.5
✓ It functions. Needs updateThis is a lame port and needs a substantial update. Not advised for iPhones because it’s 4:3. Use alt store and RetroArch..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Save pointsThis is my favourite game of all time. It's just a shame that the saving in the early part of the game is save points only. As a mobile game, it's so disappointing that I can't play 20 minutes on the way to work and save my state. If I'm nowhere near a save point, I have to close the app and lose my progress. Such a shame..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Waste of moneyGame is freezes constantly, square enix needs to do something with this pile of $hit considering they charged over 20$ for it. Fack you square....Version: 1.0.5
✓ Very disappointed sound doesn't workI've been looking forward to playing this game on my iPad Pro but unfortunately the sound doesn't work. I would have thought these issues would be ironed out but alas no help or troubleshoot pages, might as well go for a refund. This in no way means the game is bad but rather this version.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Non-functioning ControlsUnable to properly progress with poor controls (sneak part at beginning). Completely unplayable for most.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Thankful to be playing it on mobile but NEEDS IMPROVEMENT BAD!!SE, if you are reading this PLEASE make the following changes and you will get 5 stars from every single review. - Screen size display options We DESPERATELY need to be able to make this full screen on our iPhones. We are literally playing this with black edges on top of the edges already from the game. PLEASE fix this. - Button layout This is a terrible button layout, the option to switch from directional to analog should be a setting and not a touch button on the bottom. -FPS The frame rate can be pretty bad at times. It doesn’t seem to be smooth at all. I think these are all doable fixes SE can do with a patch. This is the most favourite and most played final fantasy out of them all, we love this game as fans and regardless will play it no matter what it looks like on our phones, but please make it a more enjoyable experience. I’m dishing out 22 dollars for a ported game, we deserve better. Thank you.Version: 1.0.5
✓ FFiiWas super excited to play my favourite game on my phone but… Right from jumping off the train the controls are lame, next to impossible. This really sucks..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Very bad port of one of the greatest gamesIf your looking at this app then you probably know how good this game is and defiantly deserves a 5/5, so I'm reviewing the port and not the game. It's a terrible port of a game considering that they did the others so well, mainly it's the onscreen controls, they are just like an emulator, if I wanted controls like this I would of just used a PSX emulator to play the game because that pretty much what your getting. However, it doesn't take away the enjoyment of the game but it's still a lousy port. It could of been fixed on an update, not sure why it hasn't already but I hope it does, as of now it's not worth the price tag as an emulator is free and that's what your getting..Version: 1.0.5
✓ SlowI was excited to play Final Fantasy 7 on the iPad but now I'm disappointed. I've found it runs very slowly. I also wish the control system was easier to use, more like they way it has implemented in FFIV for the iPad. In 7 it's as though the ps1 control was just just thrown in on top of the screen, you need to tap up and down arrows to choose items in a list rather than just tap them in the touch screen the way you would in IV. It's a real shame :(.Version: 1.0.5
✓ No full screen and no soundLolll commun guys .. Big compagny like yours .. 14$ in the trash .. not even mounted for iphone 7 plus , and no sounds .. I want a refund or an update right now .. You should not be stealing money from people that care about this game .. i install a emulator on my computer and get it for free lolll Thats sad !!.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Great game but world map music resets after entering towns and battlesIt’s a great game as ever, but this version has one annoyance: the world map keeps resetting! In the original PSX version, every time you entered a location or had a battle, the game would store where in the world map theme you were so it would start again from that point when you returned to the world map. The reason this is so important is that the world map theme goes on for 6 minutes before it loops. There is a lot of content there you’ll miss in this version unless you stay put..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Amazing game that’s let downThis is the Magnus opus of final fantasy games and deserves an update for that reason alone. Seems this app has been left to time and feels very outdated compared to the other ff ports. Would give this 5 stars if it had all the mod cons that the other titles had. A timeless story and an amazing game if you don’t mind missing the other mods the sequels have. Not really worth the price until then. Gu on square give this game some love.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Honest Review Honest One StarThis game deserves a one star rating because of its mechanics and boring gameplay and unnecessary trans/cross dressing bashing. The games storyline is garbage as none of the characters have any redeeming qualities. We didn’t need cross dressing nor did we need aeris giggling about it and mocking crossdressing It’s a hobby that some men do for fun. Should we encourage others to giggle? No. Also we didn’t need a brothel scene or aeris and tifa infiltrating it. The game play is slow and you can’t speed it up. Time ending from a battle is slow Walking is slow Everything is just SLOW. It couldn’t have been fixed in the port? Also couldn’t the crummy graphics be fixed? Thank god for God Mode in this game that gives you max stats but they could include materia in this pool. This game doesn’t deserve the hype. Let’s go through the weak personality of each character Cloud is unnecessarily cold and an identity thief as he poses as Zack. Later in the game you discover it was choice not a memory lapse. Aeris is ridiculously impulsive and rude to her teammates. Many times she’s aware tifa is around but makes backhanded comments Tifa is eye candy and obnoxious Barret is foul mouthed and did we really need a black man stereotypes with barret ? Red xiii is another cold hearted dog man.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Still no screen size adjustment after 2 Years!!This is THE game that got me into gaming!! Unfortunately for an iOS version playing this game on any phone after the 6plus just makes the developer look lazy. Been far too long waiting for a simple screen readjustment for newer models!.Version: 1.0.5
✓ UnplayableUnplayable past Bone Village on an iPad Pro. Very frustrating as this is an expensive app..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Not worth the moneyUnplayable, honestly this port is a disgrace..Version: 1.0.5
✓ One of my favourite games of all timeHowever, thanks to the minigames running way too quickly on my iPhone 11 Pro, they have become horrendously difficult to complete. It’s a massive disappointment given the price of the game on the App Store. This game is easily a 5 star game, but, given the current state of the game on modern devices, I would avoid it unless fixed..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Poor effortSquare Enix is the laziest dev on iOS no updates crashes and glitches and this is one their flagship games I am sure this game will be delisted at some point just like chaos rings Buyer beware!.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Greatest game of our generationThis game without a doubt deserves 5 stars. It truly brings back memories. The only reason I'm giving this 3 stars is because it needs to utilize the iPhone 6plus full screen size, borders do not work for a impressed gameplay experience. Also the game need to also utilize the touch screen, analog makes the game feel outdated, on a touch device..Version: 1.0.0
✓ CPR glitch in harbour saving Priscilla says to press xSuper fun glitch in the harbour while trying to do cpr to Priscilla yetvstuck in dialog it ask to press ex but there’s no ex button fix this cause I’m stuck.Version: 1.0.5
✓ No sound.Gameplay runs fine, just no sound. Really takes away from the whole experience. What can be done to fix this issue????.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Buggy as hellAwesome reliving these moments while "working" at my desk! Issue with where in some battles, the game will pause and you cannot unpause it... Forced to close and reopen app. Please fix!! :( Cheers, Ed ..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Blue Bars ruin experienceI wish developers would include a choice of what color to make the ratio bars. That blue color ruins the experience of playing this on iPhone for me. I would prefer black. Take cues from the switch version. This has been like this since it was initially released. Please fix it! Also, along the same lines, the whole Square-Enix retro lineup has these annoying borders. Give users a CHOICE! Don’t embed it into the game! It’s annoying. If you want to make the game look better, include the option of a CRT filter like most big emulators do. The iPad version of this is perfect! I would highly encourage gamers to play this on iPad instead of iPhone..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Horrible InterfaceShould have left this game in the box. I played some of the other FF games on my iPad and thought they were okay. This one is almost unplayable. Waste of money $21 is way to much for this experience..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Game has bugsControls are not that well done. Game stuck on a scene that requires walking. Controls keep slipping back into run..Version: 1.0.0
✓ No quick saveThis game needs quicksave. I just lost 20 minutes of gameplay. 1 through 6 had quicksave, is it really that hard to program quicksave into the game????.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Bad PortLove how you slapped on some Emulator Button layouts and then market it as a game. What's even more hilarious is that people are giving 5 star reviews because it bares the name "FF7" and thus anything with Final Fantasy 7 in the name can do no wrong..Version: 1.0.5
✓ A pretty lame port of a great gameAs an avid fan of Final Fantasy VII I was obviously very excited to see it land on the App Store and be able to play it once again. However, looking at how great the ports of FF4, FF5, FF6 and FF9 are and the way they've been redesigned to specifically work on a mobile device as well as see major graphics tweaks (both on maps/models, and the UI), I'm somewhat disappointed that this installment didn't see the same treatment. This version is a direct port of the PC version released in 1997 with no alterations made at all (except the ability to use touch controls). Perhaps a big update could be released for this game which fixes all that, or maybe I'm just daydreaming....Version: 1.0.5
✓ Everyone should knowThe devs did a really slimy thing. Several of the FF titles were initially released- which I paid for - then removed from the store and the enhanced versions took their place. I will never support your company again.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Disappointing portIncredibly disappointed with this port. iOS ui shows when playing (time, cell reception and battery icons remain while playing). Definitely cannot recommend this for newer iPhones as the full screen isn’t used properly at all. Don’t waste your money. Look elsewhere if you’re interested in playing this iconic game..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Not ported to mobile well at allIt's a great game, I have no complaints about the mechanics and stuff. But it's a game in mobile, it NEEDS an auto save feature like FF9 does. With this you're stuck to saving at save points, for a mobile game that's unacceptable! Unless you're planning a long session it's not even worth booting this game up. And if you get a phone call? Returning to the app usually sees the game restarting, progress lost. Great game, bungled port. Wait for FF8 instead (assuming t has the auto save feature FF9 has)..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Sloppy portThe game doesn’t fill the screen (I don’t mean widescreen; the aspect ratio is correct, but it plays in a smaller box instead of adapting to the height of the screen). Onscreen controls are always present, even when you have an MFI controller connected (almost every other MFI game handles this correctly). You can hide them by setting opacity to 0, but then they’re also invisible when you don’t have a controller connected. The “Encounters” option and analog/digital settings are always present and can’t be hidden at all (why?). If you launch the game with a controller connected, you get stuck in the opening credits, which loop over and over and can’t be bypassed. Just very poor attention to detail all around..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Poor port, pricey and not updated in 2yrsBoth FF7 and FF9 need to be updated to work on modern iOS devices. - generally poor performance in game - game runs in boxed mode - with black bars on each side (doesn’t look good on iPhone X and probably similar devices) - controller pad need to be updated for larger displays - textures could be updated to be like the PC port - support for Bluetooth controllers would be welcomed - ability to sync game saves to square account would be nice too as I’ve put in a lot of time on the PC version My guess is square won’t touch these ports again (last update was over 2yrs ago). It’s such a shame because it only needs a few things to be modernised and the game would be improved massively. A fan can dream though....Version: 1.0.5
✓ Conflicting FeelingsI grew up with this game, and the sheer awesome factor of having it in my pocket almost makes up for its obvious shortcomings. That said, it could have been done better. The sound could have been upgraded, and the controls, though usable, look awful and really detract from what is on screen. Plenty of RPGs are on iOS with an appear-when-you-touch-the-screen control scheme that doesn’t get in the way of visuals. The buttons also just aren’t designed well. Add that to the screen size problem with two sizable bars on either side, and you’re looking at a very small area of gameplay. Its obvious they just pushed this through as fast as possible, and not for a cheap price. I would think a simple-ish update would fix these problems. There’s already an HD version available, at least the resolution could have been better. Bottom line: beyond excited to have the game, it looks and plays awkward..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Meh...A lazy port.Lame controls with no touch screen features at all and what ruins it for me most is the fact that you can't get rid of "Encounters On/Off" and "D-Pad A-Pad" buttons on the bottom of the screen which just take up space making the screen look even smaller... especially in battles. Super annoying and a huge oversight..Version: 1.0.5
✓ No auto-save :-(So I got a phone call while playing, and just after I have defeated Palmer (a boss). I had not finished all the character dialog when I got the phone call in order to reach the next save point. After my hour long phone call from Mom, I returned to my game only to find that I'd been had. My progress was lost all the way back to the previous save point! Now, I have to re-defeat Palmer and go through all of that dialog again. :-( Also, the controls are terrible, especially on smaller iPhones. During battle, push up for right, or is it up for left? Idk, 'cause it's different for every battle, and if you like to play with ATB, you'll get plummeted just trying to select the correct enemy to attack or friend to heal. :-( At least it is still a cool game, but the devs tried to reinvent the wheel, or rather, the PlayStation controls instead of refining the controls for a touch screen iPhone. This affects the game's playability. :-(.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Game is brokenTerrible experience as about an hour into playing you reach a point where you fight a boss and straight after are asked to do cpr on a character using the X button however the X button disappears so you cannot continue with the game. I have played through the game before on a console so know that there is no way around this. Waste of money and so difficult to complain through their site, don’t waste your money. I’m playing on an iPhone 8.Version: 1.0.5
✓ FF’s are great! But SERIOUSLY UPDATE your GAMES with IOSSeriously. Final fantasy’s are great games HOWEVER, I’ve noticed that after some time SQUARE does not update with IOS UPDATES (this is what happened with my favorite games - Chaos Rings and Chaos Rings: Omega 😭😭😭). Final Fantasy VIII needs to be Updated as well as Final Fantasy IX. IX isn’t even compatible with the NEW IOS and is no longer in search. This wouldn’t be such a pain if you did not charge 20 to 40$ for a game. If you are going to charge THAT MUCH at least keep it updated. Sadly, I am NO LONGER buying anything from SQUARE anymore because of this. Hopefully some other more reliable RPG company will be made known to me. I AM DISAPOINTED!!! 😭 At least FFVII is still working, but I don’t know for how long. I keep worrying about it becoming incompatible a new IOS comes out..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Great game…..bad set upI have been a fan of FF7 for as long as I can remember! This game definitely jogs some childhood memories. Gameplay and story are unmatched, my only problem is the controls on the iPhone. Once I get to the scene where Tifa has to break out of the gas chamber I can go any further. The game requires a two (2) button push at the same time but the controls on the iPhone will not allow for a two (2) button press essentially stopping the game dead in the tracks and I cannot proceed after that. If anyone has a way to get passed this I would greatly appreciate it. The game itself get 10 stars. The controls get a zero Please fix this issue.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Classic !This classic plays well on my iPhone 13 Pro Max. The only reason I give it 3/5 is I believe they could have made better use of the larger screen Real estate. A simple update for larger screen sizes would make a huge difference.There is some modern updates included that are welcomed additions like the iCloud save, and a toggle for battle encounters. Overall it’s a great port of a true classic RPG that is still worth the price tag in 2021.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Good. Would be better with the overworld-music-restarting bug fixed.After each random battle encountered in the overworld, the music restarts. This means you’ll hear the start of the overworld theme over and over instead of the whole theme. The Switch version got a fix for this bug....Version: 1.0.5
✓ It's good, but not great.It's great to walk down memory lane, and play a game that brings back so many memories from when I used to play it. There is only one thing that annoys me about it at the moment. At any random time, the game pauses, and I can't for the life of me, see any way of un-pausing it. I've pushed all the buttons, but nothing happens. Is this just a bug in the game, or is there a way to make it in-pause..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Badly needs updatingThis doesn’t fit the screen of modern iPhones (I don’t mean it’s not widescreen, I understand it’s impossible to change the game from 4:3 without recreating the backgrounds) but there’s a lot of wasted screen space. The lack of 2x or 3x speed-ups makes the game very slow to play, this game really needs that added like the PS4 and Switch ports. Really it also needs the auto-save that the FFIX iOS port has whenever you transition the screen as that’s ideal for mobile play. With those features added this would be a 5 star game..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Ok but problematic portI have buried 100s of hours in different versions of this game Over the years. It is pretty faithful to the original but the Max all cheat is actually game breaking if you use it. Of course it makes you OP but it actually prevents you from 100% the game. You are unable to get the special fight in the battle arena that gives you items needed for the weapon fights later. If you value your late game cleanup, DONT USE THE MAX STATS FEATURE. Other than that, the D pad is twitchy but usable once you get used to it. I wish I could give this a better rating but breaking the end game loses an extra star for me..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Really?Still not gonna bother putting touch combat menu? With a controller it would be decent but personnally that awful touch pad wastes the entire experience for me. After so many complains about it, still dont give a damn. What a waste compared to other ports..Version: 1.0.5
✓ It's ok, but not worth itAt first the games alright, it runs at a smooth frame rate and the controls aren't totally infuriating since the games a turn based JRPG. However the game shows it's true colours when you leave the Midgar area, as the motorcycle level, overworld areas and summon animations are plagued with lag and slow down which really harms the experience. I would be lying if I said I didn't enjoy the game a lot however (probably because I have low standards). The games ok but not worth the price there offering..Version: 1.0.5
