With that being said there’s many things they have done right, such as fantastic music, new animations for magic abilities (especially ultima which really needed it from the original lol) however there are a few things I don’t remember being in the original. Those being status effects guaranteed to hit you unless you are very high level, the ATROCIOUS “Rng” battles (literally a fight every few steps), and the most important of them all - and the reason why I gave 2 stars - THERES NO SOUL OF REBIRTH MODE. If I’m paying $10 for a 20 year old game remastered you should at least throw in the modes that were in the original. It’s such a shame and feels scammy not to include it. Ps. I think post lv10 thunder animation on the original version is better than the remastered. ### 4/5 — Achievements *2025-02-22, version 1.1.0* Last achievements isn t on! I did complete every expect a last. Please make update it in all FF 1-6 pixel remastered. Thank ### 3/5 — iPadだと… *2024-12-14* 見づらいです。 画面全体にモザイクがかかった動画を見ている感じで、しばらくプレイしてても慣れません。iPhone位の画面サイズならそこまでみづらくはないのですが。 でも音楽のアレンジも素晴らしいです。 ### 3/5 — 何でしょう、 *2024-10-29* 1～3の中で、1番リプレイしたくない作品ですね。ただこれがなければ3が無いので歴史を踏まえる上ではしょうがなく通過しようかなと。面白くないのではなく、ややこし過ぎるのかな？あと最初期の「キャラクターの入れ替え」があることでリプレイブロックが掛かる感じ。1と3はずっと4人なんで。あとドラクエは任意の4人をプレイヤーが作って育てて選べる。だから何度も遊べるしやり込みもできる。そういう事かなと。マジで4人目どうでもいい、、、。 ### 2/5 — 中途半端 *2024-07-24* ソウルオブリバースが無いのは致命的 どんな思いでかつての仲間たちが身を挺して主人公を守ったのかが語られる重要な要素が欠けているため非常に中途半端。 今まで配信していたiOS版はどこ行ったの？ そっちやらせて下さい ハッキリいいますがピクセルリマスターは失敗作です。 ### 2/5 — トロフィーが解放されない *2024-06-28* 28個中ゲームに関する27個を解放済みで解放するはずなのに、ラストが解放されないのはばくパグ？ ### 3/5 — Not Great *2024-03-30* This is by far the worst game in the ff 1 to 6 bundle. It’s about as much fun as playing ff Mystic Quest. (& if you’ve never played ff Mystic Quest, good for you!) The characters mostly don’t have any class restrictions, which means they can use just any weapon or spell, which means functionally, every character is more or less the same as every other. You need to level your weapon skills, a feature that would later reappear in Secret of Mana. (The plot of this story is also quite similar to Secret of Mana’s.) You need to build your magic skills as well. The landscape of this world can be more than a little aggravating, so use the transportation options available to you. The ending is a little too “Flash Gordon” and therefore tedious for my taste. ### 3/5 — Not Great *2024-03-04* This game has very little in common with FF1. It’s a prequel of sorts, and like most prequels, it pales in comparison to the original. The characters mostly don’t have any class restrictions, which means they can use just any weapon or spell. You need to level your weapon skills, a feature that would later reappear in Secret of Mana. (The plot of this story is also quite similar to Secret of Mana’s.) You need to build your magic skills as well. The landscape of this world can be more than a little aggravating, so use the transportation options available to you. The ending is a little too “Flash Gordon” and therefore tedious for my taste. ### 3/5 — Guy Speak Beaver *2024-02-20* I almost quit this game because of the overly complicated dialogue feature. I knew how the story was going to progress, but I just couldn’t figure out how to manipulate the dialogue to make it happen. There are no classes in this game either, and you have to level your weapon and magic skills. I can see why this game wasn’t initially released in the U.S. ### 4/5 — Boost Power *2024-02-03* I am impressed by how much boost adds. They just updated it to match the console versions for getting quadruple Gil/experience (stat, spell or weapon level buffs in this game), turning off random encounters (helps with backtracking or going to Mysidia early for better weapons, or Holy if you’re rich) and even have controller support and a dash button. I never imagined being unarmed would be viable (with berserk helping push past those defensive walls), though I recommend shields for mage types, double shielding (for better evasion) the turns you use magic in as you can now equip mid battle, as you cannot physically attack with a shield anyway. The fact you don’t have to rely on unintuitive strategies like hitting yourself to get stronger (and using group magic to slowly buff it) or fixing such slow growth that Ultima was unplayable as you needed to be well rounded in all spells/weapons tremendously improves this game. You can even get overpowered by attacking and evading with 2 equipped shields when older versions didn’t let you attack. The only minor issues I have are that: they nerfed teleport to not auto kill, they patched out dual wield killing 2 enemies (which prioritizes shields protecting you unless you get an early flame/ice bow or try unarmed) and there are no gameplay extras like soul of rebirth postgame (dead party members who transferred equipment if you had the foresight with blood sword for a difficult Ultima weapon battle) or the arcane labyrinth (using key words learned from the plot that made their own dungeons to make stat grinding more unique, though boost no longer needs this filler). Overall, these fixes (and improved music though you can’t choose the original unlike console) help minimize the issues I had with past versions, and shutting off random encounters (as well as having maps available) helps stop the trap doors encounters and needing to overpay for Cid’s one way expensive airship (quadruple gold fixes this) from being nuisances. ### 3/5 — Classic *2024-02-01* Please add adjustable font like the other versions of this game have. Text is too small for my smaller phone. ### 3/5 — Not on par with other versions *2023-11-30* I 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. ### 4/5 — Can’t get the last achievement! *2023-04-21, version 1.0.4* Same as Final Fantasy I’s “Master of I”. I cannot get the achievement “Master of II”. Please fix! This is very frustrating! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Choppy scrolling *2026-01-06, version 1.2.2* An issue across all of these remasters. The choppy scrolling hurts my eyes and renders these version unplayable for me. It’s unfortunate, as these have the potential to be the best versions of these games ### 1/5 — Controller support *2025-11-01, version 1.2.2* Controller support ### 1/5 — 没有包含重生之魂 *2024-11-07, version 1.1.0* 该版本没有包含重生之魂 ### 1/5 — Missing controller support *2024-10-06, version 1.1.0* Missing controller support ### 1/5 — Dreadful *2024-09-14* A truly dreadful game with broken achievements. Don’t bother with this one. ### 1/5 — Bare minimum *2024-07-15, version 1.1.0* This app did the absolute bare minimum in terms of upgrades. Visually the same as past ports yet they managed to remove the postgame. This is a port that's lesser than previous ports and if I could request a refund I would. ### 1/5 — Bug de sauvegarde. *2024-06-01* Et oui, sans raison la sauvegarde a disparu sur mon iPhone et dans le cloud. Sympa de perdre plus de 10 heures de jeu, autant dire que je n’ai pas envie de recommencer à zéro au risque de tout perdre à nouveau. ### 1/5 — 패드지원좀 *2023-05-31* 제발 ### 1/5 — The font is too small *2022-10-11, version 1.0.4* The font used in the game is so small, it’s unplayable on a iPhone. Buy it only to play on an iPad. ### 1/5 — レイズ使うとフリーズする *2022-08-21* レイズ使うとフリーズした。 ダンジョン内でセーブもできないのにフリーズしたら最初からやり直し、時間返せ！ ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — How about you show some spine? *2025-07-07* First thing, I may have messed up a little bit, but not as much as you I would like to play this game with a Backbone. I hope one day soon cause I don’t understand why it’s not already set up for this. My apologies for the inconvenience, but it is inconvenient considering the first game I downloaded in hopes that my fat fingers would be in the way with true love for Final Fantasy ### 5/5 — 楽しい。 *2025-02-10* 始めたばかりだけど、楽しい。 ブースト機能は絶対使わないほうが楽しいと思う。と、いうか使うとゲームが台無しになるのではと思った。 1でブーストマックスで使ってたら、なんの苦労もなくゲームが進み、まったく面白くなかった。 ああ…ゲームってのは適度な難易度があるのが楽しいんだなあと実感した。 楽しむためにゲームしてるんだからね。 音楽も素晴らしい。 ただ、疲れてるから代金を高くする宿屋は変だと思う。 「君は疲れてないから安くて良いよ」「君はすごく疲れてるから宿代高くするね」というホテルがあったらウケますわw ### 5/5 — Please add controller support *2024-04-03, version 1.1.0* Please add support for the Backbone app ### 5/5 — 아 … 마지막 성 2층에서 데이터 다날라감 *2024-03-06* 아… 8시간 전 데이터로 돌아왔네… 엔딩은… 유튜브로 봐야할듯… ### 5/5 — Please Support Backbone! *2023-12-27* Would love to make iPhone a capable console for playing games like Final Fantasy! ### 5/5 — 파판 *2023-09-10* 시리즈들 중 전투성장이 제일 엉망이라는데 나는 그게 오히려 더 내스타일이고 재밋어서 2번이나 구입한 작품 ### 5/5 — A bug that needs to be fixed asap *2023-03-24* The game is amazing. Full of nostalgic memories from my past. I purchase all Final Fantasy content. Within this game is a really annoying bug to overlook. All enemy attacks inflict their status affects 100% of the time. ### 5/5 — Controller support needed *2022-12-27, version 1.0.4* I love this game, and it would be so much better with controller support!! ### 5/5 — Backbone Controller Support for FF *2022-11-04, version 1.0.4* Please add backbone controller support for the final fantasy remasters ### 5/5 — Great game, use a guide! *2022-01-30, version 1.0.3* This is a very good game. Use a guide, watch YouTube videos to uderstand game mechanics as there are skill levels but not character levels. You’ll need to grind but auto battle makes things easy, no controllers support doesn’t matter either. Auto walk makes moving around easy as it finds the best path to where you are pressing. It does cancel it out when you get in a battle though. Again use a guide as this game tells you almost nothing, and find leveling guides as well. The guides made the game pretty easy for me, I did have to grind but I was unkillable. I didn’t die once in my play through. And the final boss was too easy cause I was over powered. Don’t listen to the naysayers about this game, they likely didn’t use a guide and/or are just too impatient to grind, as well as maybe used to playing games that aren’t challenging. This game does not hold your hand. But as I keep repeating, use a guide and the game will be easy. You’ll need to grind but auto battle makes things quick as it repeats your previous inputs, plus doubles the battle speed. I grinded in the very beginning, it took hours, but I was able to basically play through the game after that without ever grinding again. USE a walkthrough and leveling guide! IT WILL MAKE THE GAME MUCH MORE ENJOYABLE! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
