  • Potential

    The game can be fun. The story is interesting and the artwork is amazing. But it’s all over the place. You play one mode and level up but go into another and lose all the gains you made. To many modes to play. You would think there is the main story, events, and PvP but they have so many things that you lose track of things. Don’t know to continue to play but going multiple directions in a game is not for me. May try again later if they stabilize things.
  • Extremely slow opening / prologue/ extreme gacha

    This has gone to be one of the best looking strategy games on mobile with the worst gacha / level / stamina wait mechanics I’ve seen in a while.

    Also into the first 20 chapters and it’s so easy it’s comical.

    Where’s the old school FF tactics or Fire emblem.

    Instead we have this garbage that acts like anyone playing strategy games has never tried a turn based one before.

    I really really wanted to like it but after the 5th this is special event to level some part of your char/star/gear I give up after 2 days.

    The good: talents that makes choices matter to pick and choose; and enough free things coming at you that for someone not overly interest this might be nice. Also auto battle that isn’t locked by IAP or 30 days in the game.
  • Pretty fun even if it’s looking P2W

    It’s a gacha game with the familiar gambling-like mechanics of pulling for characters. But there is a lot of work and care in the way the art, voice acting, and decent depth of battle field turn-based mechanics play out. You can still enjoy the game for what it is without getting sucked into the gacha p2w rabbit hole, but I think the more rare characters will be more powerful and will make scenarios easier. Despite these drawbacks it plays like a switch rpg game, so my advice would be to try it out and give it at least a few days/a week before you even consider whipping out your credit card.
  • Not what was advertised.

    The ads before release made me believe that the main character, a.k.a. You would be customizable and playable throughout the story, the only customization you get is “male or female” and you lose the ability to control your character after the 8th battle. The ads now for it are pretentious when the story is your stereotypical “I want to change the world for the better” with a cat that really feels like they don’t want you there making snide comments until they actually need you. It’s a gacha game that feels like it didn’t have much thought put into it. Hopefully it improves in the future as the graphics send me back to the old days when I played FFT on the PS1, and I hate to see anything flounder that brings back those memories.
  • Solid Gameplay, but

    The aggressive monetization schemes dampen the experience. Not only is there a separate weapon banner(Call me old school, but I prefer earning weapons and upgrades through gameplay), you need to pull multiple of the same character to get fragments to fully rank up your units, similar to War of the Visions, which is one of the biggest reasons I stopped playing that game(I know you can earn fragments in game, but as someone who played war of the visions for years, by the time you actually earn enough to fully rank up a character, they were more than likely powercrept) also, the energy system. I get this is a common thing in Gacha games, but this feels extreme. I’m running out of energy absurdly fast compared to similar games. I really enjoy the art, the localization was better than I anticipated, but greed is apparent. I hope they find a better balance between shareholder and player expectations, because as it stands now, this game seems like one that won’t be around very long.
  • Fun game

    It’s a fun game but it’s kind of like the character collecting games that are out now except with a story, I was hoping there would be more character customization or involvement into battles atleast. Still great story and combat system, can’t wait to see where this game goes.
  • Battle System Oversight(?)

    This game, in my opinion, decent. However, one thing I cannot stand is the weakness/strength system. Each character has a class which are categorized in five colors. There is red, blue, green, yellow, and purple. Similar to other games of the genre the green is weak to red, red is weak to blue, and blue is weak to green. However, in most games yellow and purple deal more damage to each other. In this game, however, this is not the case the yellow is strong against the purple dealing extra damage but this is all one sided making characters with the purple class essentially useless. (I forgot the names of the classes so I referred to them as the color they’re represented by) I hope it changes in an update as it makes characters with the purple class have a huge disadvantage as they aren’t strong against anything so far.
  • Incredible!

    So Final Fantasy Tactics is one of my favorite games ever, and I never thought any of the games that tried to fit the genre it created quite filled the bill. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but this game actually exceeds it. The animation, the story, the gameplay and inherent tactical planning are amazing. What makes it exceptional are the addition game modes and challenges available. If I had to find a complaint, I’d say I miss the ability to change each character’s class like you could in FF Tactics, and the crazy classes you could create with that system. That being said, this game has an incredibly diverse group of characters to choose from for the battles, and I enjoy it thoroughly. I’m SO happy that someone finally got this right and created a game that is new and modern, but keeps true to the roots of the tactics genre created by FF Tactics. Seriously couldn’t be happier with this game. It’s like the devs read my mind and created it just for me!
  • So Everyone can see

    I have nothing against this game but when I downloaded it I would not let me download there files and I pre ordered and I was really excited but it just won’t let me download these files
  • Great game but some problems

    I’ve been anticipated this game for so long.
    The graphic and the UI are amazing. I enjoyed the gameplay so far but it’s a slow start, you basically have nothing to do when your stamina runs out plus there’s a limited resource to refill your stamina.
    I hope you guys implement more contents beside the main story and make it more exploreable.
