Plays well with controller but saves do not work between devices so if playing on iPad and then switch to phone the saves will not be there. Only game I’ve seen that does this. Very annoying. ### 2/5 — They changed the dialog *2026-02-16, version 2.1.1* Perfect touch control port. They changed the dialogue everywhere, so egregious they change the meaning of the original scene. Worst example so far is Azala’s death. Why?? ### 3/5 — Spiel gut. Neue Grafik schlecht. *2026-02-04* Top Spiel! Übersetzung und neue Grafiken bzw. Filter sind Dreck. Da überlegt man das SNES Original mit deutschpatch zu spielen. ### 4/5 — Making a classic available *2026-01-11, version 2.1.1* I’ve been playing on an Apple TV 4K recently and despite the issues with the lack of graphics options it’s been smooth. My only issue is not being able to hide the persisting menu button on screen while playing with gamepad. Developer - Please give us the ability to hide touch screen buttons. ### 2/5 — Just don’t… not worth even $5 *2026-01-07, version 2.1.1* Oh lord terrible…. The graphics don’t matter it’s the controls and over all playability… horrible port. Play it on a browser emulator on pc… ignore CHRONO Trigger the bs edition. ### 4/5 — Tradução *2025-12-18* Jogo maravilhoso, porém poderia ter uma tradução ### 3/5 — game language *2025-12-16, version 2.1.1* how to change language in game? ### 4/5 — Let us turn off pixel smoothing *2025-11-09, version 2.1.1* That it. That’s the review. ### 4/5 — Almost a perfect port *2025-08-15, version 2.1.1* Doesn’t suffer from the same frame pacing issues that that PC (Steam) version has a modern hardware/Windows. Yay! However, there is an awful filter that just ruins the pixel art that you can’t disable. This filter is present on PC but you can turn it off. If this port had feature parity with the PC version, it would be the best way to play this game easily (unless they fixed the PC port). Between the weird issues and poor design choice on any platform, the best version of the game remains the DS port, which is sadly cost-prohibitively expensive. ### 3/5 — no sound *2025-08-09, version 2.1.1* where is the sound????? ### 5/5 — Great *2025-07-04, version 2.1.1* It works well, the controls are fine, it’s enjoyable just like I remember ### 5/5 — TRADUÇÃO PARA PORTUGUÊS! *2025-06-25* Um dos melhores jogos que existe, porém precisamos muito da tradução para português! ### 5/5 — Classic jrpg *2025-06-04, version 2.1.1* Ggwp /no1 ### 5/5 — Branching Out *2025-06-03, version 2.1.1* This game truly is the entire package, and the wrapping, with the pretty bow on top. The story is engaging, the gameplay is smooth and crisp, the artwork is beautifully rendered, and the replayability is unmatched. With modern technology, where it is, this is one of the few truly masterful RPG games that could be configured for iOS accessibility function for visually, impaired and blind people using the voice over system. Hopefully that becomes a norm with future games, but as of right now, there are so woefully few games for accessibility friendly systems like iOS. I would love for this game to take that step and for the developers to consider that there is an entire demographic of customers out there who are visually impaired or fully blind that would absolutely adore the story in this game if they made it Voiceover/accessibility, friendly. Just food for thought. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bad port *2026-02-03, version 2.1.1* How are there not any sound options? ### 1/5 — I can't turn the music off? *2026-01-25, version 2.1.1* I play podcasts while playing games. Unless I'm missing something, there's no way to turn the music down or off. ### 1/5 — No sound *2025-12-28, version 2.1.1* No sound ### 1/5 — I am the world’s greatest gamer and reviewer, this game is too easy, like way too easy *2025-12-20, version 2.1.1* Make a harder difficulty for real gamers, if you do I will assess and reevaluate my rating. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t boot *2025-12-08, version 2.1.1* Shows white screen and shuts down. 15 Pro Max. Can’t get refund ! ### 1/5 — Bad port of a great game *2025-11-10, version 2.1.1* This is my favorite snes game, but the port has a bug every time you start the fight against Magus where the text always skips. What’s the point of playing an RPG if you can’t even read the story? ### 1/5 — No sound *2025-04-08, version 2.1.1* This version doesn’t play any sound on any device with the current/up to date apple products. Does not work on iPhone or iPad ### 1/5 — No sound ios *2025-03-20, version 2.1.1* Idk i should have sound ### 1/5 — Not compatible with Vision Pro *2024-05-22, version 2.1.1* For unknown reasons, the app is not available for download on the Vision Pro. ### 1/5 — No Audio *2024-03-09, version 2.1.1* There is no audio. It is a game-specific problem. I tested several other apps, restarted, and made sure there were no other connected devices. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Nostalgia *2026-07-08, version 2.1.1* This is one of my all-time favorite games and I was skeptical on how good it would be since it’s just on the phone. It’s not the SNES, but it’s been every bit as enjoyable as I remember it being in the 1990s. I’ve beaten the game multiple times, so it’s been a great way to relax and just enjoy what I think is a near perfect game. ### 5/5 — Play this game *2026-05-23, version 2.1.1* You get a mobile version of possibly one of the best SNES JRPG games of all time and also it’s the upgraded version that originally was only on DS so the added content is worth it as well ### 5/5 — Why is ff17 intergrade not on iPad m3 or m5 ? *2026-05-17, version 2.1.1* Hmm ### 5/5 — GOAT *2026-02-25, version 2.1.1* GOAT of RPGs ported to the iPhone. Simple as that. ### 5/5 — Best of the best *2026-02-22, version 2.1.1* The title says it all ### 5/5 — Portuguese Pleaseeeeee *2025-12-02* Traduzam esse clássico por tudo que é mais sagrado❤️ ### 5/5 — Wahnsinn *2025-11-29* Mann muss echt sagen dass es eines der besten Games ist. Mach übelst Laune, wäre ich als Kind drauf aufmerksam geworden wäre es noch viel schlimmer ### 5/5 — Greatest Game of All Time. *2025-11-12, version 2.1.1* This game is an actual masterpiece and could potentially be the greatest story ever told through any medium. Story: 10/10 Music: 10/10 Gameplay: 10/10 (Git gud Death Mountain Haters) If for whatever reason you haven't played this absolutely EPIC JRPG yet... Do it. Your only regret will be that you didn't pick it up sooner. ### 5/5 — Amazing and easy to play *2025-08-24, version 2.1.1* They made this soooo easy to play on the phone. An actual dream. Would love more Jrpgs to be this well made. ### 5/5 — Играю уже три года *2025-07-13* Игра длинная, очень интересная, прохожу медленно, в отпуске, всем советую --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
