### 5/5 — Its great

*2026-01-20, version 1.2.2*

Geniunely I dont leave reviews but frankly I want to bump this up because it has: CONTROLLER SUPPORT, old and new soundtrack, crt shaders, great touch controls ontop of CONTROLLER SUPPORT, very very fun job system making it a great phone game on the go

### 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

### 3/5 — 裏ボスなかった…

*2025-10-13*

自分が悪いのですが、SFCバージョンのグラフィック改善したバージョンのアプリでした。

ブースト機能が付き、楽です。

あとは同じです。

綺麗な出来なので、裏ボスまでやっても良かったんじゃないかな…とは思いました。

### 5/5 — Controller Support

*2025-08-24, version 1.2.2*

Controller Support Please

### 5/5 — とても楽しい✨

*2025-05-20*

ＳＦＣ版を何度も周回していたのを思い出しながらプレイできました。自分は操作も特に不満を感じることはなかったです。むしろ色々なサポート機能があることでよりゲームを楽しめているまでありました。

ご意見を出してくれている皆さんの気持ちを運営側が真摯に受け止めて修正してくれているおかげかな..と。ありがとうございます。

刀のエフェクトが好きなのでプレイ中は愛用しています。アプリ版は刀の表記が漢字に変更になっているので「アメノムラクモ」も「天叢雲」に変えてくれると愛用者としてはテンションが上がるなと思いました。

刀はひらがな表記にも思い入れがあったんですけど(笑)..あと刀は出てくるタイミングが微妙に遅いと思ってます。第一世界でももう一本あしゅら以外の刀の銘柄が欲しい..

刀は店売りにはせずに
タイクーン城で備前長船（宝箱）
サーゲイト城で虎徹（宝箱）
第二世界の真エクスデス城で菊一文字（宝箱）
くらいのバランスが程よい気がする。
第三世界に行くと物語の流れで菊一文字は正宗と入手できるタイミングが同じくらいになり陽の目をみないことがあるので..

あの憎っくきギルガメと戦うためにも菊一文字が第二世界にあれば..と、幾度となく思ったものです..

### 4/5 — 伝説の戦士が達成にならない

*2025-05-13*

内容はとても満足しています。
しかしアチーブメントバグは軽視せずに早急に対応頂きたいです。満足度に関わります。

【環境】
FF5 Ver1.21
iPhone 16 iOS 18.5
Wi-Fi接続
4G接続
5G接続

【症状】
戦闘回数 2600
討伐モンスター数 6600
の条件を満たしていますが
伝説の戦士 (2000体討伐)が
達成になりません。

【試したこと】
cloudデータのダウンロードし直しと、アプリの再インストール

【その他】
FF1-4でも似たようなバグはありました。突然治ったりするので、不可解です。
本作だけの症状じゃないので、アチーブメントシステムの設計の根本に不備があるように見えます。引き続き改善検討をお願いします。

### 5/5 — 컨트롤러 ox가 자꾸 바뀝니다

*2025-05-11*

이게 좀 불편하네요

### 3/5 — 不具合

*2025-05-02*

海沿いで船を降りると操作不能になりプレイ時間が無駄になる為、早急に修正をお願いしたいです。また、バトルスピードを最速にしてもテンポが悪く、さらに倍速にできるようにしていただきたいです。とても好きで長くプレイしたいので是非ご検討ください。

### 5/5 — アチーブメントの修正ありがとうございます

*2025-04-26*

アチーブメントを全て達成しても最後のアチーブメントがアンロックされない不具合ありましたが、本日ログインしたところ全てのアチーブメントが達成される状況となりました。
運営さん修正ありがとうございます。

### 1/5 — Unable to download, unable to get support.

*2025-02-20, version 1.1.0*

This game won’t download, I’ve confirmed that my software is supported and I’ve restarted my iPad and tried everything to troubleshoot loading the game. I’ve tried to find support but the website is just adds…At 15$ this is garbage square Enix.
