FINAL FANTASY TACTICS for Negative User Reviews

Ipad only?I gave this 3 stars because though I love this game, I am a bit disappointed I spent 15$ on this for my ipad, and unfortunately my ipad is now obselete and will not update to the newest OS. So I go to download this for my phone, and find out not only is this incompatible with my iphone, if I want to get it for my phone I have to spend 5 more dollars! Seriously??? I would appreciate an update to make this backwards compatible, I think it is crazy that I need to purchase this again after paying such a high price already..Version: 2.0.0

Overall PoorFinal Fantasy Tactics is definitely among the top games of all time, but unfortunately this version is next to atrocious. The user interface is ugly, the pixels are deluded and stretched to forcefully fit it on screen, and this of course looks unpolished and unprofessional. The aspect ratio is still 4:3 but simply stretched to fit a widescreen ratio, similar to the PSP version which makes everything look squished. This is a shame because the new high res sprites are beautiful, but the stretched screen doesn't show how pretty they could have been. The frame rate appears to be unexceptionally low, and movement of the menus and characters are extremely choppy. I'm using the iPad with retina display so excuse me if it runs better on other devices. As far as controls go, these are sluggish and frustrating to navigate with. Tapping the screen almost a dozen times in multiple locations to perform simple actions is slow and tedious, also add in the extra tapping due to inaccurate tile selection. I expected much more functional navigation from a modern port, not just forced touch controls on the same menus as the console version. If some of these issues would be fixed, Final Fantasy Tactics for iOS would have potential to be the best version available, but for now it's definitely not worth the money you are paying for. Until this is further patched I would not advise you purchase this version of the game, as it is unpolished and choppy. Things as simple as bad functionality and ugly text should not be an issue from a company such as this. I look forward to patches that could possibly be in the near future..Version: 1.2.0

Not worth it.I was terribly upset with this game. It is not worth the huge price....Version: 1.0.1

FixHaving problems with the touch... and it’s not my ipad.Version: 2.0.0

Originally a great game. This port is a bit lazy.Final Fantasy Tactics on PS1 used to be one of my favorite game back then. Now that SquareEnix has ported it, I couldn’t really resist buying at 9$ in June 2013. Now that I’ve played a few hours, I have a some gripes against this game. The GOOD - It runs on iPad1, albeit a little bit slowly. - The game is still fun as ever. - Added touch controls - Now compatible with iCloud The BAD - Multiplayer mode isn’t there in this version. It could be pretty awesome if it was! - The original game, even though really good had some game design flaws which hadn’t been corrected. For example, panning and rotating the camera to see a unit hidden behind an object or wall IS irrating. They could have fixed to by making those objects transparent somehow. That would have helped the game a lot. - The touch control are poorly implemented. For example, going back a menu could have been done touching an empty area on the screen instead of being limited to press a virtual button. Also, having two different buttons for panning and rotating isn’t really optimal. They could have easily intergrated both functions in different gestures instead of having to first press a button then touch the screen to execute function. All around, this makes for a lot of wasted time going through the user interface in order to get things done (a matter of seconds but multiply that by 100 hours of game time… I now doubt I will have the patience to play that long). The UGLY - It crashes about every 20 minutes on iPad1 and returns to home screen. - When using the AI function in battle, there is no apparent way to deactivate it afterwards. But there is. At some point, you have touch the "Menu » button to open a menu giving you option to Open Battle Menu. The trick is you CAN’T touch this menu item (buzzing sound tells you that). BUT, you can close this menu by touching Cancel, then press the Menu button again, then press the OK button. Or, you can touch a zone then slide your finger up until the cursor aligns with Open Battle Menu. Few second later, the game will stop the auto-battle and you’ll be able to touch a unit to deactivate AI. Let’s say it took me a while to figure that out. - This game ISN’T Universal, meaning you’ll have to buy it TWO TIMES if you want to continue your game on another iOS device. I would recommand buying the iPhone version over the iPad if you only want to buy one copy (you can still run iPhone version on iPad but not the other way around). - Considering this game has problems, asking for 16$ is a bit too much. So, that’s about it. I hope it will help you choose if you must buy this game or not..Version: 1.2.0

Bad controlThe game and story are still amazing however the touch controls and many many menus make game play a real pain. I'm often miss clicking tiles and units due to the poor limited angles of each map. If your guy is in a crowd good luck selecting him....Version: 1.2.0

Don't buy itDon't buy any iOS game from square Enix as they may pull them off the shelf..Version: 2.1.0

Don’t buy until battle quick save is fixedI just bought this app and was excited to revisit this game after 20 years by playing on my daily commute. Unfortunately I missed the update note about mid-battle quick save being eliminated. Without that feature the game is not mobile friendly. I’ll be seeking a refund..Version: 2.0.0

Don't buy it.I have this game on the Playstation and on the Psp vita, but as its one of my fav games of all time, I gave it a go, The controls in combat are awful, as the game was designed with. Playstation pad in mind. Also all it did was crash all the time :-( very disappointing, can I have my £12 quid back now ?.Version: 1.0.1

Definitive version of a great game... with one major flaw.FFT is one of my favorite games of all time and the translation, cutscenes, and other tweaks brought about in War of the Lions significantly improve the experience. Having played the game extensively on PSP, I appreciate the bug and slowdown fixes on iOS, as well as the ability to play a legal and official version of the game on a device with a larger screen and much-improved battery life. That being said, one major flaw really dampens the experience. The lack of controller support makes this game unnecessarily cumbersome. The extra taps to select and confirm selections in menus clearly designed with a traditional game controller in mind make this game feel a little bit slower, and a lot more clumsy. If controller support were added, or if the user interface were better optimized for touch screen controls, this would easily be the definitive version of the game. As it stands, the PSP version is is a more enjoyable way to experience this game, even given the slowdown and hardware limitations of that version..Version: 2.2.0

Can’t use on multiple devicesI bought this on my iPad but I cannot download it on my phone after already purchasing it..Version: 2.0.0

Stuck in a LoopOn principle I love this game. The gameplay is fluid, the graphics are fine and the story is in-depth and fascinating to watch unfold. Ace. There is a distinct problem however. Gameover's, for the most part, are easy enough to get around. You just start back on the map, grind, then work your way around the problem. However at certain points, when required to save before entering an area, the Gameover loops. Bam - that save is broken. You can't work your way around it. This is legitimately disappointing, and I'm just sorry it ruined my experience of the game completely..Version: 1.2.0

UnplayableUsing ipad version 1 with the latest ios. The game is totally unstable and crashes back to my home page after about 90 seconds of play. appears to be too memory intensive for early ipads. avoid..Version: 1.0.0

Update needed badlyIt is very annoying, it happened to crash in the middle of the battle every time, Square Enix really need to update this game. Otherwise it is fantastic.Version: 1.0.1

Don't buy thisProbably the worst FF RPG ever. Graphics look like something from 1982. Plus it's very difficult in the first stages making this incredibly frustrating..Version: 1.2.0

Seriously what's with all those crashesI wanted to play the remastered ff tactics(unable to find the psp one on the actual PSP) but after the intro that is beautiful,it crash the second I start the first fight.I never had problems with the ff ports before(love them) so why is it crashing especially when I have the last ios update.Please fix it.Update because it seem it was not read,I recently got a message that it might slow down my iPad and did not get a recent update, why is it not updated yet.FFTactics is considered one of the best games of all time and you just let it rot,please update it before it's gone forever or atleast port it to PC....Classics should never die and get forgotten.Squaree do you still care about your fans,is there anything left of the company I used to love,I don't recognize you anymore,even your ports where quite bare bone and just gba roms and psp isos......seriously your games are classics and you treat them in such a degrading way..Version: 1.2.0

TerribleControl is just irritating, save file randomly vanishes wasting hours of game play, sound quality is bad far worse than ps1 version and its sync is off. Overall its not worth it... Especially for its price very disappointed..Version: 1.2.0

Huge disappointmentI love final fantasy tactics. But this? This is an abomination. The autosave ruin your game, making you reload the second before you die and restart the whole thing all over again. I’ve just wasted 20$ for frustration an disappointment..Version: 1.2.0

What a rip off!Terrible! Can't play the game! Each time I go through the tutorial, which takes hours, it takes me back to the start and tells me there is no saved game and defaults back to the tutorial! £11 for a tutorial for a game you can never play is terrible and a con. I thought that Apple had better quality control than this..Version: 1.2.0

No good on iPadHave played this on PlayStation in the past and loved it. Sadly user interface on the iPad sucks. Positioning of characters requires the user to view how many spaces opposition can move however accessing this info on iPad takes too many clicks. Other issues as well but for me this was the worse one. Waste of money on the iPad. Regret the purchase..Version: 2.1.0

Waste of moneyControls are awkward which ruins the game. Waste of money, should be alot less expensive for what you are getting..Version: 1.2.0

Desperately needs updateIt’s Final Fantasy Tactics. FFT is a great game, and the War of the Lions version from the PSP is the best way to experience it. Not being able to save mid battle and not being able to play with a controller are not great. If Square would patch those issues, this would be phenomenal. Otherwise, the game’s a lot more frustrating to play than it needs to be..Version: 2.2.0

Crashing like crazyI'd love to say how much I love this game. And I do. But after trying to fight, and having it crash before entering, crash again after every single character, and then lose the autosave for that battle, I'm sorry to lose my $18 on this game. Apparently, crashing like this is common on the iphone version, and now it seems to be here for the ipad. Please, fix this..Version: 1.2.0

Poorly portedThis game has numerous issues from its port. For the price of this app I would not expect repeated crashes, poor controls, infuriating squares which are difficult to view ( and therefore select by touch) and worst of all a prompted save before a one on one battle in which, now I've checked the net, has very limited ways to win. Now the only recourse would be to start again and play the 15 hours to get back to it. Given the issues in playing the game generally, I won't be bothering. Not fit for purpose and far too expensive for such a poor port..Version: 1.0.1

The game freezes on ipad mini sometimeHave to wait for over 30 sec for it to come back.Version: 1.2.0

Disappointment wrapped in nostalgia, in my eyes.I've been playing RPGs for as long as I've even been playing games, and Final Fantasy Tactics was the game that started it all. It's the game I've played the most, my all time favourite. So how excited was I when I found out it was being rendered in HD on mobile! I wasn't going to pick it up before because I have the other versions, but I wanted SO bad to revel in the high sprites. And let me tell you, they blow my mind. Every class has new details from Akihiko's original art that weren't possible before with 32 bits. Even the "clunky" menu controls are not quite as clunky as people are complaining they are! The pieces are there for quite possibly the rendition of the game. So then, why am I giving it a single star? Because I know my FFT, and when I pop in or start up that game, the atmosphere is what draws me. You've climbed to have fixed the horrendous slowdown problem from War of the Lions, yet all you've done is overclock the frame speed to give the illusion that the animations are going at proper speed.the result though, is that the sounds are even faster nod thus don't match up, and to make matters worse; Increasing the clock speed means that every animation done is sped up, including those in cutscenes. This has drastically impacted the atmospheric nostalgia that makes me feel inclined to return to the game. I don't feel as 'at home' playing this version of the game. Their clunky, speedy movements pull me right out of the immersion that had me hold this game in such high esteem. I would rather have slowdown problems with attacks than have certain scenes look silly and rushed. I've only played a few battles and it's already bugging me. I can't imagine how certain scenes will look. At this rate I wouldn't be surprised if people picking it up for the first time found the same flaws, rushed and clunky feeling(But not even necessarily menu clunky). Please, as someone who to this day still adamantly supports Square Enix in everything they do, bring this game back to the glory it once had. As I said the pieces are there for the perfection rendition, but they must be placed accordingly to achieve the big picture. In reading this, I'm hoping you find the sincerity I my words. I want this game to be perfect and succeed all over again in a new generation, with new minds to inspire. Either way you interpret this, thank you for taking the time to read it to the end. I'm hoping in a future update these clocking issues can be resolved. - Jesse.Version: 1.2.0

Classic GameI would have given this 5 stars if only it didn't crash all the time on the new iPad. For a $20 title I expect it to at least be stable..Version: 1.0.1

Final fantasy tacticsI bought this game like 3 days ago for full price which was $25 and now its on sale by 70%. Not happy.Version: 2.1.0

Overpriced!I'm a big Final Fantasy fan but this crappy port is not worth 17.99!.Version: 1.0.1

This is bad!This is the worst unwieldy game I've ever played on the iPad. It needs a serious overhaul to keep it interesting. Made an 18.99 mistake. Don't do the same..Version: 1.2.0

Save File and Options BugUnable to load any save files. There is only the option to continue, with no iCloud backup. Selecting “Options” opens a black screen that forces you to close the app if you’d like to continue..Version: 2.2.0

What...Port is okay, controls could use a lot of rework but on another note.. I purchased the iPad version for full. Why do I need to make another separate purchase to get this on my iPhone!? Is is just ridiculous.Version: 1.2.0

As good as its always been...I would like to second that this game does indeed work fine on my ipad 1, with very little slowdown and no crashing so far. You can find numerous reviews of the original game for the ps1 elsewhere and it is as rich and compelling as it has always been. I am however extremely disappointed with Squares poor handling of the port. The text and sprites look extremely stretched out and pixelated on the iPad screen, take into the account the cost of this game and the amount of time we have waited for the iPad version and I am just plain annoyed at the company. A future update hints at enhanced graphics but this should have been given to us upon release rather than this lazy re-hash of a superb game, created when Square was in their prime. How far they have fallen..Version: 1.0.0

Not a Great PortPorting this to touch screen has made the game incredibly clumsy to play, and has even made some ‘tactics’ impossible. Also, it’ll just crash out of the blue, which is suuuuuper frustrating when you’re in the middle of a long battle, or have just finished customizing some of your characters. I love this game, and it brings back so many good memories, but this is driving me nuts, and I’m regretting paying for it..Version: 2.1.0

Would be great, if it didn't crash so oftenAnd when it does, its mostly when you're customizing your party from the menu, which accounts for more than half the total game time. Wouldn't be such a trouble if it just paused the game, but no, you have to restart from your last save point. That makes it unplayable..Version: 1.2.0

A good step, but not enoughYes the game slow down seems to be resolved now, but still the control remain the big problem with this game. Too much an hassle to navigate the menu the way it is right now. With IOS13 and iPadOS supporting controler, they should add this support for the game. Also regarding the HD rendering of the characters. I don't see any difference between now and before. What's am I missing here..Version: 2.1.0

SavingApparently you can't save when you want or load to a specific save point. When I die The only place I can get loaded to is the point RIGHT before my opponent kills me... I shouldn't have to start a new game everytime I die..Version: 1.2.0

FFSFix the save issues. Dear lord its nearly unplayable..Version: 1.2.0

Adore this game for psp...but going mad from the number of times this version crashes!I can't even go 15 minutes without it crashing. I love this game to bits but I can't tell you how much it takes away from the enjoyment of it...and quite frankly when it crashes whilst I'm towards the end of a long, difficult battle but reloads at the beginning of the battle, I want to chuck the whole lot out the window..Version: 1.0.1

Very sadUsing an iPad air first gen on iOS 10.1.1 (latest as of this review). You start the app and immediately receive a warning that the game may run slow and that the dev should update it. Then, after first fight and the cinematic sequence, right before the second fight, the game crashed. Do yourselves a favor, dont touch this unless a more recent version appears on the store. Im going to ask for a refund. If anyone wonders, im 40, I manage software release for all sorts of platforms, Im a long time gamer, and the original was one of my all time favorites. The very minimum would have been a clear indication in the descriptive text of the app of iOS version issues. The current state this game is in is unacceptable. Square -1.Version: 1.2.0

Can't change jobsCan't change jobs or use job points. Is this a problem for other people??.Version: 1.2.0

Terrible UIIf you are like me and find games on touch devices with controller based UIs then stay away. It takes 2-3 taps ( sometimes with tiny hotspots ) to issue commands on the battle field, as much as I tried to play and love it I just couldn't bring myself to move past the terrible user interface design.....Version: 1.2.0

Is that really HD??Glad I bought it recently after the update supposed to have improved the graphics... Because even with that it does still look very pixelated.... Happy I never saw it before the update as I don't want to know how much worse it could have looked before.Version: 1.2.0

Misleading App Store ProductThere are two identical versions of this game on the App Store! The other “WotL” is identical to this, except built (poorly) for iPhone. Why on earth is it available separately? Who would they not just add support for iPhone to this version? This is misleading and deliberately confusing, and should be banned from the App Store, or at least refunded to those of us who were misled!.Version: 2.1.0

Can't sync savesLove this game, but I can't sync saves from the iPhone version, and there's no way I'm going to start again..Version: 1.2.0

Rip offThe original one of these games had graphics better then these, absolutely misleading screen shots make it seem so much more better, I demand a refund!!!!!!!!!!.Version: 1.0.1

BuggyLove the game but it frequently freezes and crashes, I've even had blue screen of death on the game with debug codes. My iPad is a brand new iPad Air 2 16gb. I haven't tampered with it, jail broken or anything like that which usually affects things. Very disappointed because I have to keep reloading save files and hoping the game doesn't crash constantly..Version: 1.2.0

Dreadful controls!!I really should not have to tap 6 times to execute an attack. Not relaxing to play. The psp version is so much better! Extremely disappointed...especially after the game was supposed to come out a year ago!.Version: 1.0.0

Horrible controlsI was really looking forward to playing one of my favourite RPGs on my iPad but what a disappointment. The controls are terrible. I shouldn't need to tap my screen (exactly) ten times to do a basic melee attack (and that's not counting movement). Square Enix has ported a classic game onto a modern device yet left the controls and menus stuck in the 90s: I shouldn't have to navigate through nested menus and bulky buttons. I would be okay with the poor graphics and barely-imporved cutscenes if the game was playable. As it stands, I unfortunately regret this purchase..Version: 1.0.0

Great game, TERRIBLE portThe touch controls are horrid. I know it would be difficult to port a PSone game to a touch interface, but I would have rathered an onscreen set of arrows and buttons as opposed to what has been implemented. The text also looks as though it hasn't been altered since the original release - a major drawback to the overall experience. Fix it with an update, and add onscreen controls and I'll be stoked..Version: 1.2.0

Not well thought out, needs fixingAfter starting playing this game, and paying the hefty price tag, I was upset to discover this game is really ill thought out. After fighting one battle and losing, every time I reopened the game, it reopened to just before I lost the battle, rendering the whole game unusable. I have also found the controls to be fiddly and frustrating. Altogether, way below Square Enix's standards and not, at the moment, worth the money they are asking for.Version: 1.0.1

Stole My MoneyI bought this game on my iPad, turns out I bought the wrong one because the same game is available and capable of being installed on an iPhone, but this one isn’t. Total bait and switch. Why have the same game posted twice? Just for the money grab? I won’t be buying this again, or sadly any other square game on mobile until I’m made whole. Very disappointed in Square..Version: 2.2.0

NO SOUND!!!No SOUND!!!!!!!.Version: 1.2.0

Really clunky and painful to playThe game itself is a pretty good port but the usability of the whole app is really clunky. Too many confirmations required for actions and it’s difficult to click on some specific tiles. Got too frustrated after playing the first two levels and gave up, unfortunately I can’t refund it anymore. Wouldn’t recommend until some major improvements are made. Only bought it because it was half price ($7.99)..Version: 1.2.0

Like others I also have the options screen bugIOS 16.3 IPad Pro 3rd gen Get a black screen and after a while it says there is a problem with iCloud. Think this is due to app not being updated for 2 years and Apple changing iCloud settings. App needs to be updated or removed from sale from the App Store and a refund issued.Version: 2.2.0

Have to pay twiceI purchased this on an iPad.... unfortunately my iPad is older, but more frustrating than that, the touch interface is highly inefficient with a larger screen. I want to play this on the iPhone.... an app that I paid quite a bit of money for, but to do so would require another $13. Extremely unhappy. If 0 stars were an option.....Version: 2.0.0

Very, very disappointed...If you are reading this review, you are most likely as big a fan of all things FF, and most importantly in this case, FF Tactics. I purchased this game after reading all the reviews, good and bad, and I disregarded the bad reviews based on my experience with the original PlayStation version, this was a terrible choice... I was just too excited to relive the awesomeness of this game. I would be holding my tongue by saying graphically, this game leaves a lot to be desired, and so do the controls. If square can pump out crisp, clean, FREE HD igames, why can't this classic be touched up? I'm fairly certain that all of the loyal (obviously to a fault) FF customers wouldn't mind opening up their App Store, to find an update to their nearly twenty dollar FF Tactics app that never gets played because it's disappointing compared to, well, anything.... Well, you've won Square Enix, you've successfully stollen nearly twenty dollars of hard earned money from countless, good people who love your products, you've stollen this money with the title of a game, and in my mind a promise of quality (which is obviously NOT included in the price) I'm not using my star rating as a threat like others do, because I'm sure the developers (or whomever) don't get all tingly inside when they see a 5star rating, just as much as they don't cry themselves to sleep over a 1star rating.... But you should. You should read the critical reviews of your loyal fans, and take it to heart. As much as we love the new and exciting projects you work on, we are nostalgic... You have taken a game that was the corner stone of all "tactics" games, the one that everyone tried to emulate and couldn't, and you've tossed it aside to collect dust with this terrible port to the most accessible handheld device there is today. To the fans of the series, and of this game, I implore you not to waste your money. With the current version of this game, that's what will happen to your money.... It's wasted, not spent. So for everyone responsible for Final Fantasy and FF Tactics, 5stars all around, hands down... For everyone responsible for this version of a classic, shame on you, you know what you've done..Version: 1.0.1

IPad only???IPad only???? I wasn't aware that my App Store purchase would be limited to my iPad. Absolute ripoff. I already bought this game on PlayStation a couple times, and my iPad.... There's no way I'm buying it a fourth time for my phone. Shame on you all..Version: 2.1.0

Bad updateBought this game in 2015. The current new version has overwriten the original. Characters’ resolution improved, levels’ resolution decreased, animations’ got added between the fights. Overall the game looks ugly and it not same product as purchased years ago; the initial PSX port was much better quality than the current PSP port..Version: 2.2.0

Needs Controller SupportThis game is great, I’ve loved it for years, every since it first came out on the PlayStation. Like the title says, this game should have controller support. I don’t understand why it doesn’t, it doesn’t make any sense, since it’s roots are from the PlayStation which used a controller to play it. Come Square Enix, put it in all of your app games that were once PlayStation games, and those that are just app games as well. It shouldn’t be that hard for y’all to dedicate a team to perfecting and enhancing your app games..Version: 2.2.0

Sound Not Working?I purchased this for my iPad of which it says it is compatible for but the sound is not working for this games at all. Does anyone else have this problem? I am playing on 13’ iPad Pro. It’s making me rate this so I can send review/question. Outside of this I would give 4 stars but since it is asking for a rating, for now, I have to give what I gave as not having sound for a classic game like this would be unplayable..Version: 2.1.0

Controls are really badControls are *not* intuitives, and you’ll sometimes misclick or accidentally do the wrong action. The “Ok” button can become unresponsive or get stuck (which makes dialogues go super fast, and you’ll miss one of the strong points of the game : its story). Since touch controls can be imprecise, most actions require a confirmation to complete, but accidentally tapping the screen or having the “Ok” button becoming stuck will confirm your action and there is no “undo” if that wasn’t what you wanted. I heard loads of really good stuff about the game, but this version should either be corrected or removed..Version: 2.2.0

Currently broken for new iPad ProBeen wanting to play this game and happy to see it go on sale. Instantly purchased it. Quickly disappointed to learn that the options screen is bugged and just shows a black screen. Unfortunately without this screen I can’t turn the sound on or get rid of the beginners hints that show every time a player gets a turn. Reinstalled and restarted multiple times but same bug every time. Sadly I will have to request a refund and hope they decide to fix the bug so I can buy it in the future..Version: 2.2.0

Terrible game on an iPadSimply a classic game but crashes too often. Crashes every 2-3 BATTLES! That's too often! Sort it out squaresoft or don't release the title!.Version: 1.0.1

Not worth buyingCant use your JP to purchase abilities. Very disappointed...Version: 2.2.0

The gameVery disappointed as this appears to be a port of the original PlayStation version not the updated PSP version; having WotL in the title is misleading as the Dark Knight job is not in this game. Agree with other review that the graphics and controls are clumsy and bad, it appears to be a straight port with no improvement. The game also frequently crashes for no apparent reason. My suggestion is to get a PSP to play this on the go; at least until they fix all the issues..Version: 1.0.1

The game will crash.You can’t progress due to a consistent crash at the Fineth River battle. My iPad is only a couple of years old and my iOS is up to date. I am running the most recent software version of the game. This product is defective. Refund the purchase, or fix the product. This is unacceptable..Version: 2.2.0

Impossible?The first level is impossible. 4 on 2 with no heals and they have a healer... you can only control 1 guy, and the other one is a moron... tried it 5 times and got game over each time... there’s no way. No matter what, you just get surrounded and beaten to death. Heard it was a fantastic game... too bad it’s unplayable..Version: 2.1.0

This game is not touch screen friendly, buy the PSP versionI only gave this 3 stars because this is an awesome game.. on any other system besides IOS. This version deserves ZERO STARS. Whoever packaged this game to sell in its present state was out for a quick buck. While touching the screen does something; 9 times out of 10 it performs a different action than the one intended. This game is in no shape, way or form enjoyable on the iPad or iPhone unless you want to buy a controller. Although I haven't tested this out, so I wish you luck on that one. To get out of a menu you have to click it like 5-10 times. It's like a having a 3 year old child trying to grab your iPad and take it while trying to play this game. One mistake could mean you have to spend another 15-20min replaying a level again. Disappointing..Version: 2.0.0

Lazy PortThe core game might be a classic, but this is a lazy port with terrible controls. I regret spending money on it when other developers have put more energy into making modern tactical RPG's. It hasn't aged well and doesn't translate to a touch screen interface well at all..Version: 2.0.0

Great game. Terrible controls.Frustrating to play on the ipad. Please update the controls for ios or refund my money. Nearly unplayable..Version: 2.2.0

RidiculousThe controls are so bad that I am having difficulties starting the game in the main menu lol... And why is it not full screen? Ratio looks the same to me. Also, why the F do you have the "cancel and ok" buttons at the bottom of the screen if you can just use your fingers to swipe. Why both? If touching the screen means ok, how can you press back? Controls and interface is crap..Version: 1.2.0

I don't often write reviews.I don't often write reviews, but when I do, it's because there's something absolutely stand-out about a game. In this case, it's how poor of an iPad game it is. The original game is great, don't get me wrong, but this has got to be one of the worst *iPad* games out there, simply due to the atrociously bad controls and interface. Do yourself a favor, go buy it on PSP instead..Version: 1.0.0

No thank you. No thank You!I have tried playing this on my iPad Pro. The issue is not how well it runs. It is with how the game controls. That is. It functions 'fine'. But on a 12.9 inch screen, the controls make no sense. I have to move from my entire arm from one side, all the way to another. No thank you. Maybe try the 'phone' version. I don't know..Version: 2.3.0

Poor translation of a PS classic; stay awayFFT is one of my favorite games of all times, having completed it numerous times over the years (I still keep my old PS for this game!). I have to say that I was very excited to see how this translation panned out and sadly, I am exceedingly disappointed. The controls are clumsy and the graphics are MUCH worse than the original. It's as if a five year old built the sprites out of LEGO blocks. Fans of the original: stay away. It is not worth even half of the price, until they fix the controls and improve the graphics..Version: 1.0.1

Virtually unplayable UII first played this game on the PlayStation in the summer of 1999. Grinding hours of extra missions in order to max out a character is standard in this type of game. This version however, will instantly reveal why the controller PS4 is required to play. There have been no innovations or improvements to the user interface and that renders this game virtually unplayable on a touch interface. Every action or movement requires so many taps and touches to make happen, each mission takes 5 to 10 times as long to play as it did on the original PS4 version. Although they say the graphics have been improved for this release, they remain pixelated on an iPad and the text is aliased and blocky. If you’re looking for a tactical RPG experience, I’d highly recommend looking elsewhere. As much as I truly loved and enjoyed the original, this version does not do it justice..Version: 2.1.0

Poor iPad 3 performance.This game has frame-rate issues on the third-generation iPad, particularly during attack animations..Version: 1.0.1

Nostalgia with a catchPlayed a number of missions, and crash. Bam, lost all save data, back to level 1.Version: 2.1.0

ErrorLibgu decode 01.Version: 1.2.0

MediocreI have been waiting for this game to be released since last summer. The iPhone version did come out, but I was burned with FF3. Patiently waited another 7 months and here it is. Game crashes on my ipad2, graphics are unchanged from ps1 version. The controls are almost touch friendly, but still require the constant okay/cancel button. Still excited for the game, but for $18 I expect something new and something polished. Wait to buy this if you were like me..Version: 1.0.0

Great to relive a classic but some issuesThe game is great so far. The only issue keeping me from giving 5 stars is there is a graphical glitch when purchasing items from the store where the screen in areas will flicker. This happens sometimes when using the “best fit” option. Additionally, we would love to have controller support for this game. Not being able to use it is a disappointment. Developers, if you are reading this, please fix the glitch and add controller support and I will change my rating to 5. Thanks..Version: 2.2.0

A bit annoyingFor some reason when I ask my chemist to use a potion on someone, he uses it in the person closet to him! (This occurs when he chemist name and the person I want to use the potion on's name is onscreen before confirming) and led to me loosing the fight. Ok so I lost, decided to just continue from my saved point, to which when I hit continue, it loaded up the same fight, but at the point where I lost so instantly game over... Now that is a very annoying bug (obviously not tested properly, considering I'm a developer) as well, when I tap away from the menu it decides to confirm the action, but when using touch screen devices that action is normally associated with closing / cancelling, so it's very unusable. This is more a rant than a review, but it needs a lot of improvement.Version: 1.2.0

Five star game, but crash proneThis is one of my all time favourite games, and would be an easy five star rating if it didn't crash frequently..Version: 1.2.0

Frustrating...I love FFT but this iPad version crashes randomly during battles for me, I'm using an iPad 2 and it is really frustrating! >.< fix this problem please..Version: 1.0.0

Not recommended for anyone looking to pick up and have funIt’s slow and tedious combat followed by a terrible tutorial. Avoid the headache..Version: 2.2.0

No controller functionalityAmazing classic, would rate 5/5 but it doesn’t work with a Bluetooth controller.Version: 2.2.0

Needs controller supportIt is odd that square has been too lazy to provide us with controller support on this game for over half a decade. All the reviews mention how important it is, yet they don’t act. I love this game, but I can barely stand to play it on the iPad. It hurts your fingers and annoys the heck out of you to do it. This makes me genuinely not want to support the company in the future. I feel ripped off..Version: 2.3.0

Not bad, but should have been betterAs I read other comments, I was expecting to be disappointed. But finally, it's not that bad. Did not experimented crashes on my iPad 1, speed is ok (actually, the sprites animations are a little faster than the PS1 version, strangely). The biggest let down is the user experience. It looks like an hack over the cursor/pad based interface with some small pinch (zoom) and rotate possibilities. They should had rethink the whole interface for a better touch-screen experience, by removing the menu cursor and having less taps to perform an action. I miss the functionnality to see the other users move range. That was a handly function. Maybe I did not notice how... And, to see at what time a spell or an ability could be performed before using it, you need to slide to the right over the ability. Unless you know that possibility in the classic version, it's almost impossible to know such function exists... Finally, one advice, once you mastered the controls, go to the menu in the battle screen and choose config, there is one option to disable battle prompts. This will save you up to three screen taps per round....Version: 1.0.0

Could be betterNavigating menus with touch can be frustrating. Using continue from the main menu doesn’t load the latest save if you have multiple. I was expecting better..Version: 2.2.0

Missing so muchI can’t turn off the tips - the game shows an extra screen every click that says it can be turned off in the options. The option doesn’t exist….Version: 2.3.0

Awful!I absolutely adore the principle behind Final Fantasy Tactics, but this one just ruined it. The beginning is interesting enough, but the fights are impossibly difficult to manage. The graphics were way better on my Game Boy, which is quite the feat: the camera keeps moving around the characters, making the viewer dizzy, especially with the way too colorful graphics. Enemies and allies look way too alike. The controls, whihc should be intuitive, are surprisingly hard to grasp. All in all it's devoid of personnality and looks hastily put together..Version: 1.2.0

VersionsSo this game is on App Store twice. One version got updated to work on any apple device running the correct iOS and the other, this one, got kind of screwed. I don’t know why they would release an all device version and a same priced but tablet locked version other than to rob people. I ended up having to buy that other version to play on iPhone but also installed it on iPad to side by side and the phone version got updated for the X and so subsequently looks much better on iPad as well, compared to the iPad specific version. KYS.Version: 2.1.0

Good game but needs immediate updates...For an 18$ game I would have expected more on initial launch after such a long wait. 1-please improve char graphics. When I zoom in on my ipad1 the images get pixelated. 2-the text is not clear. Same issue when first released with iPhone. 3-please improve battlefield tile selection, I had to zoom in many times in order to select the correct tile. Summary: If Square Enix hired 3rd party to port the game over to iPad, I can only say that the job was done poorly. At this point I would return back to my Nintendo DS. If you are buying this games based on nostalgia then it is worth it but if you are buying the game based on playability and graphics...I would hold out until the updates are released. I would suggest that you hire people who love this game with a passion as your testers no some blokes who thinks they know what the game should feel like..Version: 1.0.0
