### 1/5 — Saving glitch.

*2026-01-11, version 2.0.1*

Played about an hour and quick saved.  Got killed in the mythrill mines and saved data was missing.  Waste of money

### 1/5 — If you ALL save data is deleted!

*2025-12-01, version 2.0.1*

I have saved data to the cloud as the game suggested just to die and have it all deleted a more than once. It makes the game unplayable to the end. It doesn’t matter if you save or not. It wipes all saves when you die.

### 5/5 — Still lacks controller support in 2025.

*2025-10-15, version 2.0.1*

The game itself is a good game, but it hampered by not having controller support.  I would not have bought it if I’d known I couldn’t use a controller on it, as you apparently can on the pixel remasters.

### 1/5 — NEW “HARASSMENT” POLICY

*2025-01-12*

To those who may be as yet unaware, Square just put out a new policy taking a stand against harassment. They now reserve the right to refuse services or deny your right to purchase their products for engaging in behaviors that may exceed socially acceptable norms… but they have listed asking for “changes” to a game as an example.

I’m not kidding. Requesting a change be made may just be enough to get you SUED. That is also not an exaggeration! Square has specifically said they will pursue legal action, and their policy is vague enough that mere CRITICISM may be enough to land you in court if they don’t like what you have to say!

UNACCEPTABLE TO THE NTH DEGREE.

### 5/5 — excellent and charming, simple RPG

*2024-12-21, version 2.0.1*

trust me when I say I have, if not played every "talked about" rpg, at least tried, both on playstations and PC, and I found most of them not worth the time. The simplicity in the story of this one is its strenght: you don't have to follow details you don't care about.

This one reminds me of Zelda The Minish Cap, which I really loved. It's just charming and really very good.

### 3/5 — Needs controller support

*2022-08-18, version 2.0.1*

Fun game.  The fact that it isn’t compatible with controllers is a big loss.

### 5/5 — Excellent Remake

*2022-01-17, version 2.0.1*

Please, add controller support, is the only thing missing!

### 3/5 — No Controller Support

*2021-10-14, version 2.0.1*

A lack of controller support for this is disappointing. Further research finds that Square Enix doesn’t give controller support a lot. Last purchase from me until they add it in.

### 1/5 — No Controller Support

*2021-09-05, version 2.0.1*

Sadly no controller support for this version of the game forces me to give it a one star review, seeing as I have waisted my money on it.  I will go back to playing the iPhone version which does have controller support.  Seriously, why can’t you transfer the controller support from one over to the other?  You need to take controllers for mobile games seriously and it’s frustrating as a huge fan of Final Fantasy (the only game I consistently play besides Minecraft) to not have a decent way to access the catalog when you are so close.  You have provided the support for so many other games flawlessly.  I don’t understand the issue, considering you are charging a considerable amount for the game.  It would be totally worth it if I had controller support but I feel ripped off and my money was waisted on this purchase.  FWI, I purchased this game a while back and am still fuming about it.

### 5/5 — Final Fantasy III iOS Update Is Great!

*2021-04-22, version 2.0.0*

1st, this game is phenomenal, very fun to play, great place to start for ANYONE interested in diving into Final Fantasy. The storyline is great, gameplay is challenging but not too tough, music is SPOT ON & what I expect from this incredible series. I’ve been playing Final Fantasy since 1987 & currently working on FF IV The After Years & FFIV & FFVIII Remastered for Nintendo Switch & I can say that FF3 is one of THE BEST in the series! Can’t wait for Final Fantasy Orchestra Tour this year in Chicago! Download FF3! You won’t be disappointed! No controller needed, ignore the other reviews! 5 STARS!
