### 4/5 — Does Square Enix read this

*2024-10-09*

If Square Enix is reading this I’m not sure if you realize how Trash Gumi is! They prioritized JP version & allowed global to drown under JP!
Instead of releasing the same u it’s, global would either be skipped or get nerfed versions on many occasions!
JP would get tons of free currency more than Global! At times we had no new content while our counterpart got everything! JP version still running while global ends on October 30th 2024!
Why not try again & this time put in capable developers who do not treat one better than the other.
Game on global was mismanaged & destroyed. This game is popular, just that people got fed up with Scumi a name given to gumi from many of the players.
Don’t end the game! Merge it will JP for all those who spent money & time!
Thanks
4 Stars for the game idea and some content but 0 for the Devs at Gumi

### 5/5 — Another good game gone

*2024-09-27*

I love this game and have continued to play for ages now.  It has been a big part of my life to log in daily and strive through the missions that I can in my working life to just have an escape into the land of FF. It pains my heart that it’s closing down in a month and will now need to find something to bridge the gap…too many good games like this going down the drain makes a gamer like myself feel empty…as much as I will always support square enix itself this has truly been the biggest let down for the year. Good luck on future

### 4/5 — It was good while it lasted

*2024-08-30*

To any whom look at this app and think it’s an interesting play, it is, but unfortunately is now being shut down, thanks for the memories, and A2 is the most aesthetically cool, unit I won’t take any other opinion.

### 5/5 — Nothing will beat this game

*2024-08-30*

Unfortunately it seems like the app service for this game is going to end and i am greatly going to miss this game. It helped me alot with my depression. It also has such a great storyline. People complain for not getting what they want in a gatcha system. But this was the best gatcha game in my opinion as all the allies that you get were meaningful. The events were even getting better and so too was the system. The fact that no one is playing this and that its closing shows how much of a hidden gem this game really was. People don't like working hard. And thats why… i guess this game lost to the majority. As someone who has played this game since its started i almost have every unit… i have mastered alot of the mechanics. But, now my accounts going to be deleted on oct. 30th… i will greatly miss this game. But i guess it happens because a game isn't just made for me…. I guess… thanks for the memories… final fantasy team….. i wish we could have more….

### 1/5 — Rates Poor and Sometimes Not as Advertised

*2024-07-11*

Update July 2024–Don’t download or play this game. Shameful and embarrassing is how I would describe its current state. Next to no content and the teeny bit of content requires each shiny new unit anyways to really compete and have fun. 8th anniversary was a disgrace with delayed “rewards” and the worst “rewards” in the 8 years. Brutal… below comments still apply. Bugs that favour players fixed within hours.. bugs that don’t, good luck.

Gumi seems to have trouble with basic QA and their latest update is no exception. They prioritize new features designed to get players to spend more money and ignore long standing bugs. Don’t worry though, they’ll toss the game into emergency maintenance to iron out issues that benefit the players. This week’s news and update also says that some limited time units are not included in the Hyoh step up banner summoning pool but they are breaking the terms of the Apple Store gacha rates publishing. It really is a good game but prepare to be frustrated beyond your limits with their crappy PR and endless maintenance cycles.

### 1/5 — Language

*2024-07-03*

I can’t select another language, only English

### 1/5 — Wish this died instead of NieR reincarnation

*2024-05-01*

NieR reincarnation was better.

### 3/5 — Buggy

*2024-04-27*

Game is good but when I deleted and redownloaded my game started crashing whenever I clicked download before or after tutorial, if this could get fixed then I would sink more time into the game

### 4/5 — Great game but…

*2024-04-25*

It’s a great game if you’re into strategy turn based battling, you’ve have to make ever decision wisely…character designs and sprites are so well done, introduction of the NV unit and the their animations and the future releases from the JP server…but this is the difference between global and the JP server…they’ve skipped cross over events and NV units so you will get excited about what you’ve seen on the JP server but it doesn’t come to global Plus at this moment in time Gumi is with holding updates to characters, they’ve removed shards from the banners, collaboration banners are super low down rates even tho they’ve indicated a fixed drop Gumi doesn’t listen to the people that play this game there focus is another game WOTV

### 4/5 — Last update has mess something

*2024-04-01*

Keep disconnecting since the last update. Really annoying
