### 2/5 — Good game but you need to change a few things

*2026-03-01*

There is way too many battles I get one about every 15 seconds it is super annoying! Please fix I just want to enjoy the game but I can not when I have to fight a monster every 5 seconds

### 3/5 — Great port

*2025-09-17, version 2.0.4*

The game plays and looks great but is unavailable on my M3 MacBook … why

### 3/5 — Good Remake, but Hampered by Lack of Controller Support

*2025-07-14, version 2.0.4*

Games should have controller support in 2025. It’s holding back an otherwise good port of a classic game that is among the best in the series.

### 3/5 — It used to be a great game

*2025-07-04*

It could be a great game for iPhone, but this is just a lazy port that doesn’t try to improve the game for the modern standards. If you used to play the original FF IV, the nostalgic feeling about it would push you through this, otherwise no need to touch it. The fight system is too outdated: auto fight is too dumb and doesn’t do anything except simple attack. Without with fight you will have to crank the speed to the lowest, but fights would take too long. Very lazy port, don’t waste your time or money on it.

### 3/5 — Huge FPS issues in combat

*2025-03-24*

This could be great, but I’m experiencing huge FPS drops in combat. I think you patched it on PC. Hopefully it gets patched here too.

### 4/5 — Fantastic game, strange quirk.

*2025-03-23*

So, this is like, a fantastic final fantasy. The remake job here is super faithful while giving it a sort of n64 era charm that is super convincing to something I would have seen on that system. Character animation is great and the voice acting is superb. Overall love the vibe. What I don’t love so much is the strange quirk of the battle system. It plays great gameplay wise, but the battles quite literally run at 15 fps. It totally throws off the gameplay!!! Everything else runs at a silky smooth 60 FPS, so i honestly don’t understand it.

### 5/5 — Bem otimizado

*2025-01-23*

Jogo todo em pt-br e rodando liso no iPhone 13.

### 3/5 — Great game, subpar port

*2025-01-21*

I personally think the 3D version of FF4 is the best version. This port, however, appears to not be optimized for retina displays. It runs at a low resolution and has a lot of aliasing/shimmering. It is for that reason I’ve chosen to start a play through on PC via Steam instead. The font rendering is also kind of bad.

### 5/5 — Good game

*2025-01-16*

I payed this as FFII on SNES and FFIV on GBA. Didn’t know there was a DS version, but I according to the other reviews, this was it. My least favorite part of turn based RPGs has always been the repetitiveness of the battles. The auto fight makes this a lot more bearable. Game play is pretty intuitive. Would be nice to have a little bit better direction sometimes, but older games don’t lead you around like newer games. I did like the rewards for map completion, although there was one that I couldn’t seem to get no matter how much I tried. Don’t remember which area. I think it was maybe floor 4 of the final dungeon? Anyway, good game. Glad to have a chance to play it again.

### 4/5 — Interesting Story

*2025-01-13, version 2.0.3*

It’s a little brutal early on, but the plot is excellent with plenty of twists that took me genuinely by surprise. It’s got some good voice actors (appreciated Sam Riegal playing another bard!) and the combat is easy enough once you get the hang of it. It doesn’t hold your hand through everything like modern games do, which forces you to ask around and interact with the game.

Main complaint is that the controls are a little clunky if you’ve got fat fingers like myself and the combat is a little slow.

Aside from that, a fun game with a good plot, and it’s fun to play the final fantasy that kickstarted a lot of the modern games main features like the ATB.

Also, Kain is excellent

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2025-01-13, version 2.0.3*

Brilliant game and even better that it’s on the iPhone. People who are giving it low ratings isn’t due to performance of the game or visuals, it’s simply that they’re just plain whack and give up easily. This game is hours of fun AND they even have the sequel available on Apple Arcade! Awesome! 😆

### 3/5 — Decent but not great

*2025-01-11*

So, I've only played the original of this one a little bit, and the game works, it's a fun game overall,, but the battle speed is painfully slow due to the 15 fps hard limit from DS version. This being a problem is big sign of laziness by square;  they didn't even bother to try changing it. The rest of the game ( outside battles) is better fps but the battles  feel so laggy, and the speed itself is also slow.

Other main problem: the game is in dire need of even a rudimentary quest journal, because if you miss a cut scene or even if you don't but you don't fully follow every single line of dialogue ( they go on for a while sometimes) it means you end up not knowing where to go or what to do. At all. And no way to replay the cutscenes 

( *SPOILER* — best example of the above issue is right after saving Cecil's "girlfriend" from sun fever with the antlion pearl. It very vaguely mentions ONE time in a cutscene to go to a new nation that has a "wall of ice" I scoured the map nonstop for over 1 hour using the hovercraft; no luck. Had to go online to find out where to go, that's really not reasonable imo.

### 5/5 — Truly a classic

*2025-01-11*

I love this game. I’ve played it on multiple platforms. It’s one of the best ever.

### 5/5 — Музыкальный автомат

*2025-01-10*

В описании игры четко сказано: «Саундтрек из игры можно послушать в любую минуту» как это сделать?
А так, придраться не к чему, игра топ.

### 5/5 — Very fun rpg.

*2025-01-08*

I’m old enough to have played original, however I never did. I love the port so far, roughly 1/3 of the way through. Can’t wait to play rest of game and others in this series(3-d remakes).

### 5/5 — Better then original

*2025-01-07, version 2.0.3*

This game is way better then the original.  Graphics and game play are great.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Bug at demon wall

*2025-09-14, version 2.0.4*

Beat demon wall and no exit is available. No cut scene with Kain I’m just stuck in the stupid sealed cave

### 1/5 — Controller Support

*2025-05-10, version 2.0.4*

Pleeease

### 1/5 — Great graphics but it is bugged

*2025-04-13*

Came to the tower and had the rabbit character that says you can chafe your name. When I put in a name it will not let me go any further and stays on the name screen. It will not go any further. When I restarted and tried to just walk past him it immediately goes into dialogue and back to the name change screen but will not accept anything I put in. Love the FF franchise but a little put off about this part of the game.

### 1/5 — ATB system is the worst

*2025-04-07, version 2.0.4*

Please put a real FF game on the arcade.

### 1/5 — Самый ужасный игровой опыт

*2025-01-03*

В игре буквально невозможно пройти без файта больше 4 секунд, я даже локацию нормально изучить не могу без этих выбешивающих долгих заставок боя, Господи, а как все хорошо начиналось
Взял по подписке arcade, поэтому не жалко, больше интересно, что за мазохисты покупают это за тысячу+ рублей, геймплей убожество в чистом виде
Очень зацепила графика и сюжетная линия, но как бы я ни старался закрыть глаза на файты через каждую секунду, это невозможно играть. Скучно, нудно и абсолютно не нужно, в этом нет никакой хардкорности, это просто выводящее из себя нудное дрочево

### 1/5 — No music on Apple Vision Pro

*2025-01-02*

This App has issues on Vision Pro, one of my favorite games, and one I’d really love to have there.  The intro/demo movie plays with audio, but after loading to the main menu there’s no game music at all, sound effects work but none of the excellent soundtrack for this game plays.  Performance/visual rendering seems decent but I would go crazy trying to play it in near silence.

### 1/5 — No Apple TV support.

*2024-12-30, version 2.0.3*

Only supported on mobile devices apparently. Doesn’t seem to support Apple TV.

### 1/5 — Симулятор трех шагов и битвы

*2024-12-18*

Пока что мой рекорд без битв 3 шага спокойно дойти от точки а до б невозможно

### 1/5 — Brutal and Unrewarding

*2024-12-15, version 2.0.3*

I love an old school reboot… when it works. This is just thankless. Got as far as dropping down the waterfall in a weakened state just to be perpetually owned by the Octomammoth. Meh. I’m out. Sort out the load/save shambles and maybe I’ll come back to it. Shame, really. I remember enjoying this back in the day.

### 1/5 — Controller support

*2024-12-13, version 2.0.3*

Would like controller support

### 5/5 — Jogaço

*2026-06-03*

Nem acredito que essa obra prima do SNES tem um remake no Apple Arcade!! Não estão decepcionando, esse jogo é incrível um masterpiece para iOS 😍😍😍😍😍

### 5/5 — Круто

*2026-05-21*

Final Fantasy IV (3D Remake) — настоящая классика в новом обличье! Графика поражает: мир и персонажи выглядят потрясающе в 3D, но при этом сохраняется дух оригинальной игры. Сюжет по‑прежнему цепляет с первых минут, а саундтрек просто божественный. Управление адаптировано под мобильные устройства — всё интуитивно понятно. Однозначно must‑play для фанатов серии и новичков!. из установленных на моем смартфоне ролевых игр это лучшее что я установил вообще рекомендую всем кто оформил эту подписку скачать эту игру потому что я оформила имя ради этой игры. 
позже на консоль себе купил оригинальную четвёртую финалку для ps5. графика интересная и похоже на сочетание раннего 3D и современных элементов которые придают вероятные погружение даже сохранением стиля оригинальный. рекомендую всем подписчикам Apple Arcade скачать её на свои смартфоны только если у вас небольшая память готовьте хранилища к установке хоть игра весит немного но масштаб огромный готовьтесь к приключениям вместе с Сесилом. он ждёт вашей помощи и оформить подписку это способ который даст вам возможность указать ему путь в его путешествии так что готовьте свои смартфоны и карточки оплачивайте и отправляйтесь великое путешествие

### 5/5 — Needs backbone support

*2026-05-12*

Come on apple, lets get some support for controllers!!!

### 5/5 — Backbone

*2025-10-08, version 2.0.4*

Need support for controller.

### 5/5 — Controller Support Please!

*2025-07-23, version 2.0.4*

Please and Thank you 🙏🏼

### 5/5 — No deja de ser una obra maestra

*2025-03-13, version 2.0.4*

Es cierto que la movilidad no es perfecta pero pude terminarlo sin problemas, amé el juego, no pasa de moda

### 5/5 — Great RPG Experience

*2025-03-11, version 2.0.4*

Not sure what the fps or save complaints are about. Quick saving is easy, game runs great on my iPhone 16 PM. It’s an old game so if it wasn’t low fps I’d be disappointed. It also uses almost no battery to play

### 5/5 — Идеальный порт

*2025-03-09*

Этот порт на телефон — пример того, как классика должна адаптироваться под мобильные устройства! 🎮 Управление идеально оптимизировано под сенсорный экран: виртуальные кнопки отзывчивые, интерфейс чистый и не загромождает экран, а настройки позволяют кастомизировать всё под свой стиль игры. Никакой потери в удобстве — только комфорт!  

Графика сохранила свой шарм, но стала ещё четче и плавнее даже на небольших экранах. 🔥 Анимации, текстуры и эффекты выглядят потрясающе, а оптимизация на высоте — игра летает даже на средних устройствах без лагов и перегрева.  

Особый плюс — автосохранения и возможность быстрого переключения между задачами. Теперь можно играть в любую свободную минуту: в метро, в очереди или перед сном. ⏳ Звуковое сопровождение тоже на уровне: музыка не режет слух, а голосовая озвучка добавляет глубины сюжету.  

Разработчики не забыли и про фанатов: в порт добавлены дополнительные материалы, арты или бонусные уровни — приятный сюрприз для тех, кто проходил игру раньше. 💎 Стабильная работа без вылетов, поддержка геймпадов и облачные сохранения — мелочи, которые делают этот порт образцовым.  

Если вы искали качественную игру для смартфона с богатым контентом и ностальгической атмосферой — это ваш выбор! 🌟 Спасибо за то, что подарили возможность пережить любимую историю где угодно и когда угодно!  

P.S. Даже спустя годы игра затягивает с первых минут.

### 5/5 — Не жалуйтесь на бои. А пройдите хотя бы немного сюжет

*2025-02-17*

Игра очень рофельная и классная с сюжетной точки зрения. Персонажи настолько приятные, что не хочется с ними расставаться.
Хотя и не без минусов. В начале боёв слишком много. Хотя буквально через часа 3 чистого геймплея. Эти битвы не так часто появляются. И лишь прикольны. Эта часть определённо достойна большего. И наверное войдёт в мою пятёрку любимых частей FF

### 5/5 — Wow

*2025-02-05, version 2.0.3*

Amazing. Hard enough to keep me interested and a LONG story, I am sure I’m nearing the end and it’s been fantastic. 

I normally skip storylines in games but this one has me captivated! 12/10

Thanks for the remake!
