FINAL FANTASY for Negative User Reviews

✓ Missing 5 dungeonsI can look past the lack of controller support. But not including the 5 dungeons from the GBA and PSP versions removes about half the game, stat bonus items, and all the best armor and weapons. All of which were in the prior iOS FF1 version that used to be offered. Earthgift Shrine, Hellfire Chasm, Lifespring Grotto, Whisperwind Cove, and the Labyrinth of Time Dungeon all gone. The pixel remaster version just feels … incomplete. And stating that “Features and/or content may differ” seems exceedingly misleading given all that was taken away..VicFFIVersion: 1.0.3

✓ Final Fantasy: Battery Blast!I have an iPhone 8 Plus with a battery at 92% health running iOS 15.5. The battery was fully charged to 100%. I had a few apps open in the background when I opened FF1. Two hours of play time later, and my 100% battery is down to 40%. I’m not a software engineer, but I can tell you that two hours of game play should not deplete a full battery by 60%. This game isn’t exactly graphics-intensive, so what gives? Please fix this issue SE! Other than that, I would give these remakes all 4 stars. 5 stars if they included the bonus dungeons, but I understand they wanted to go back to basics, so to speak, with these releases..MrsmooveVersion: 1.0.3

✓ Time to fix the font for this priceI really didn’t think it would bother me. The font totally takes me out of the experience, I find it very distracting and breaks the retro feel this game is supposed to be catering to..TielurWVersion: 1.0.3

✓ Not on par with other releasesI LOVE the original Final Fantasy games so you can only imagine how happy I was to learn about these new versions. In good faith I bought the whole FF Pixel Remaster bundle. I was immediately upset to see there was no controller support. When I went online to see if an update was pending, I was dismayed to find out that not only has there NOT been an update in ages, but the PS4 and Switch versions have alternate music tracks, no encounter mode, and an EXP boost mode! As a family man with a rather busy schedule, those last two features would have been extremely welcome. I’m unfortunately going to issue request for a refund. Hopefully someday Square will find it in there hearts to make all versions have the same feature set..NaeemTHMVersion: 1.0.4

✓ Needs controller supportDisappointed that controller support isn’t on this game. Please consider adding this devs..NullValidVersion: 1.0.3

✓ Controller support pleaseWould be great if all the pixel remaster final fantasy would provide controller support, would buy all of them.Donny sungkarVersion: 1.0.2

✓ Great game just one big flawReally enjoyed the game but there should be an option for all the remasters to turn the music off. Normally game with podcasts on and it’s a nightmare to listen to them both at the same time.OfficialdennoVersion: 1.0.3

✓ Such a missed opportunity tbhThey should’ve added so many custom options to this port. We should’ve been able to cycle between graphic styles. The PSP port is STILL the best and the closest We ever got to that was 2009 cellphone port… we should have the enemies dying like the FF4 PSP ports. Have the options for standard or advanced MP in the start menu for the Save file. It’s a Very Basic, CLASSIC!!!, RPG. It Needs the vast Andi in-depth options and graphic style to boot. We should be seeing NEW bosses and monsters too. The pixelated versions of most enemies/bosses exist within FFRK. The ball was dropped so Hard with this port tbh. Enjoy my funding, as always, SE. PLUR.Elem'AyVersion: 1.0.1

✓ No post game contentJust beat the game. Ive played this game a lot of times growing up. There is no end game dungeons like on the Gameboy Advance version. The end game dungeons literally was my favorite part of this game. It was a huge disappointment to find out at the end that it was over instead of doing the dungeons after the game…. The remaster was great other than the fact it was a bit too easy. But the graphics and gameplay was good and auto battle. I wouldn't recommend downloading this. And I probably wont download any of the other pixel remasters after this..Dillon244Version: 1.0.4

✓ Square has lost its ingenuityI’m a die-hard FF fan. I’ve played every core game when it was released and have spent countless dollars on ports and sequels. I do like that this port has new graphics and music, but that’s really all it’s got going for it. No controller support; bugged achievements; horrible pathing for the tap-to-walk feature. I’m glad they took out the bonus content because it was never really balanced and was a waste of hours for us completionists with no real reward, but I also think it was a mistake to not have any new content for old players to be enthralled with. If I really wanted to play a “true to the original” version, I’d go play the original..JonathanplumbVersion: 1.0.2

✓ An overall downgrade from the old IOS versionThis game is nothing like the old IOS version. and is an overall downgrade due to the excluded content. the graphics are amazing, the controls are more defined and updated, the sound and music remastering is beyond outstanding. but due to all the added content from bonus dungeons to labyrinth of time to new items excluded I wouldn’t recommend anyone getting this version. the increased level cap, faster leveling, lower shop prices than the NES original makes you overpowered in every area you complete which makes the game too easy without the added content/mega bosses. overall a decent remastered but leaves a lot of room for improvements and updates that I hope they add to the game over time.The gucci goonVersion: 1.0.1

✓ STILL no controller supportThis is a beautiful remastering of the series. I sat down to play for a bit, turned on and connected my controller (PS4), loaded the game and... STILL no controller support. I realize that Square Enix wasn't really maintaining all of the previous core FF games on iOS (as much effort was clearly put into them when they were first released). But once this "remastered" versions started coming out, I assumed that they would engineer them to be the best they could be. I love using a controller for iOS games where they make sense. It makes perfect sense in this game. I equally hate when a game that clearly needs controller support doesn't prove it. I've read through the SDK. It isn't that hard to add. I am not sure how Square Enix still sees it as acceptable to offer the Final Fantasy games without controller support, but it has really reduced my expectations for this new line of remastered games - to the point where I don't really want to purchase any more than this first one until controller support is added. Note: I own ALL of the previously released core iOS Final Fantasy games and planned to purchase all of these as well. Really disappointed, but still leaving this more than one star since the game itself is truly gorgeous..SlantVersion: 1.0.2

✓ BogMy game always restart after 5 seconde Really annoying.YannnnnmmmmmVersion: 1.0.3

✓ No controller supportI would really enjoy being able to replay this amazing game. But that will have to wait until Square implements controller support for it. Why is it the Pixel Remasters don’t have it, you can play CHRONO TRIGGER on iOS with controller support. Might as well emulate the great looking PSP versions.H0axrunn3rVersion: 1.0.4

✓ Needs workGame is great. Mobile version would benefit from controller support and classic text feature added in recent console releases. Would change this to a 4 or 5 star if those were implemented. Right now there’s no reason to play the mobile version if you happen to own a switch..Jojo2ndVersion: 1.0.4

✓ BuggyI keep hearing static sounds every now and then while the background music plays. Game freezes/crash for some random encounters..HedgekinVersion: 1.0.3

✓ Remaster? Really??I understand this is a remaster of the 1987 version, but when it’s less visually appealing than the previous iOS release of FF1 (which you can now no longer get), I feel like I got to pay extra for a lessor version of something I already had. 3 stars at least though because I would never rate a FF product lower..Fury RoadVersion: 1.0.1

✓ Better but still not ideal for mobileThis port is an improvement and looks great! Needs more mobile features, such as auto save and portrait mode! I put my phone down for 2 min and the app closes and I lose all my progress since last save, how is that a thing in 2021..Dooood1372639Version: 1.0.1

✓ Controller supportPlease for the love of god add controller support the touch controls are awful.K_urtisVersion: 1.0.1

✓ No keyboard support?Why would a brand new game that supports iOS 13+ not support keyboard input.. brutal....Glass-cainVersion: 1.0.1

✓ Great Except Magic System.Everything is great, plays nice, sprite work and music is gorgeous. The problem is they eliminated the MP magic system (which was introduced later in the series) and went with the original vancian (Ew, gross). This limits your magic use to a few charges and makes magic users very limited in their abilities. It makes mages often into dead weight when transversing a dungeon if you want to use magic on important battles. Having ethers ( Item recovers one charge) cost 150 Gil is kind of nice, but I feel square should have went a different way. They should have gave us the option of using the MP system rather than forcing us to use the older one just for the sake of nostalgia..BuddhaXDVersion: 1.0.1

✓ Final fantasy need to be better-on IOS we have controller support it should be added sometime we want to play with controller ,vs Steam has controller support it should be easy to implement -when changing app and coming back later to the game , it continue to add time to play time I played 2 hours and time is 16h played , it should pause the timer.KrycriVersion: 1.0.1

✓ Plays much better but is it the original?Maybe it is because I am old now, but this game seems much easier then I remember. Status effects seem to have minimal effect on characters and I went an entire game without a character missing a swing. What is the point of accuracy? I remember problems with the original NES version like spells with minimal utility, so it could be faulty memory. Some of the items may not work quite the same as the original, too. It looks nice and the quality of life Improvements like tap to location and auto battle are huge. I tried to reboot the original NES version before playing this and it was far too much of a slog to bother with. This is much more enjoyable. It just doesn’t seem quite the same. If you need a nostalgia fix, go for this, if not it is an easy superficial game. There are better games out there..Earl_of_OmahaVersion: 1.0.4

✓ Love it but why no controller support?I’m enjoying this new version of the original classic Final Fantasy. The game combines the updated graphics of previous versions with new pixel renditions of the original character and monster sprites into something nostalgic and unique. Unfortunately there is no controller support and it’s confusing and disappointing. While touch controls are serviceable enough for a game like this I’d like the option to be able to play this on my iPad with a controller. Hopefully this will be added in an update and if so I will update my review..Horrorjoe138Version: 1.0.1

✓ Not readyI think the main flaw of this game is that they implemented diagonal movement. It is nearly impossible to control the character. There are times when the controller will freeze in one position and cause my character to walk in the wrong direction, which is a major problem when you are in a challenging dungeon and close to dying. Other times the touch controller won’t respond at all. Love the graphics and music. Will ask for a refund and buy on steam..SirleebobVersion: 1.0.1

✓ Refund pleaseNo controller support just killed it for me, sorry. Not wasting my time with touchscreen, was hoping to AirPlay to my TV and sit back on the couch and play. Also I get that it’s a remaster of the very original but the PS1 version were the best, I’d rather pay for those to be redone with all the extras in. Other note: BRING IT TO CONSOLES..CuzenzVersion: 1.0.1

✓ Master of 1 Achievement BuggedThis version is stuck somewhere between the original and the Dawn of Souls/PSP release. While retaining the spell charges of the original, is borrows more from the latter without including the additional content. Mild bummer. Leveling up is accelerated, prices are decreased significantly by, but not limited to, 20%, tome stone mentions Link and not Dragon Quest/Warrior’s hero, level cap is 99, includes an auto battle feature that repeats the last action made, includes the bestiary and music player in the title menu only, contains dialogue and cut scenes used in the most recent translations, and has an in game map useful for gathering treasure chests. This is overall a great release. Although lacking controller support (weird thing to gripe about on a mobile release) it does have a touch based control scheme that moves at a faster rate as if holding the run button down. It’s quite nice once you give it a chance. Especially for grinding. Why the 1 star review? I 100% the steam version in about 13.1 hours. The main reason I bought the iOS version as well was to achievement hunt. The final achievement is bugged. Once patched I’ll gladly update the rating..MetallifiedKISSVersion: 1.0.1

✓ No controller supportI am really disappointed in this release, while it looks better than the other mobile port (aside from the text font) and I’m sure it is a fine version of the game it is a shame that I can’t use my Backbone with it. I was under the impression before launch that this game would have controller support and upon addition of this feature I will re-evaluate my rating but as it stands there is no reason it shouldn’t be an option and the fact that it isn’t is incredibly disappointing..Brogan127Version: 1.0.1

✓ Good Job - Shame about bonus contentJust a shame the bonus dungeons weren’t included - sunk hours into those! Other than that, a good effort..LukeymookeyVersion: 1.0.2

✓ Great Version But Please Add Controller SupportI played through to the end. Good port with great visuals of a classic (but flawed, like most games of its time) game. The option of using tap to move and swipe controls is smart but controller support seems like such a no-brainer here. The ability to use a d-pad would launch this version from “mobile port” to “true alternative to the console releases.” I’ll wait on the rest of the series to come to Switch, because it feels like such a disservice to classic games to deny even the option of a real d-pad and buttons..NiceGiygasVersion: 1.0.4

✓ Not worth the moneySummary: The previous version / remake of this game was so much better. Don’t waste your money. TL;DR: To start with, the game crashes very frequently. In fact it’s so bad I can’t even make it past the initial opening scene without the game crashing most times. When I can get the game to work, the graphics are mediocre at best even for a legacy 8bit remake. The graphics on the previous iOS remake were better. The controls are also total garbage. You can choose from 2 modes: touch-location based and virtual d-pad based. The touch location mode is barely usable on iPad and next to useless on iPhone. You tap where you want to go and your character moves there, but to navigate large distances you are constantly having to tap every half-screen of scrolling. The virtual d-pad works at least, but it’s location is locked in the lower right corner, forcing you to constantly readjust your eye focus to make sure you are tapping in the correct place. The previous remake of this game had a dynamic d-pad that was hidden from view when not in use which was nice, then the d-pad would appear when you touch the display. This ensured that the d-pad was always aligned to your finger location no matter where you tap, so no need to constantly shift your eye focus away from the game play to reposition your finger to the d-pad. The fact that Square Enix took the old version of the game off the App Store and replaced it with this new, garbage version effectively forcing people to “upgrade” is inexcusable. Makes me not want to buy another game from this publisher ever again. Even if you find one of their games you like, there’s a chance they’ll take it off the App Store and not even offer you the courtesy of giving you your money back. Square Enix has done some questionable things with their games over the years but this one takes the cake for the worst experience ever. Beware!!.LeeDegaVersion: 1.0.3
