### 1/5 — Do not buy this on IOS

*2026-08-04, version 1.0.7*

There is an issue with this game where if you select an action in combat it automatically double/triple selects your action making it unplayable.

I worked with support and their solution was to uninstall and reinstall. This worked for about a minute before the issue returned. Support had no other solutions and said they couldn’t refund me.

I’m surprised there hasn’t been a class action lawsuit over this, as everyone who purchased this game on iPhone or iPad has not gotten what they paid for.

### 1/5 — Buggy glitch

*2026-08-02, version 1.0.7*

You have been warned, save before cosmo canyon and make a new saving cosmo canyon because your buggy may be glitched to the cliff. Locked in position you will sit and spin and unless you have that back up save, you bricked your game.

### 4/5 — The Aerith house thing bug

*2026-07-24, version 1.0.7*

I know this happen in the past but I cannot get pass Aeriths house at all I'm just stuck... Can y'all double check

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2026-07-23, version 1.0.7*

The game itself is great, the port not so much.
On screen buttons are Xbox layout only, which makes zero sense as this game was originally released on the PlayStation, as was the hd remaster (ps4). So why would someone who originally played it on those systems with PlayStation controller, with PlayStation button layouts, enjoy playing this with Xbox controls??? How did Square Enix fail to grasp that developed muscle memory/ and or habits from using PlayStation controllers is hard to unlearn? I don’t know the difference between an Xbox “A” button and an Xbox “Y” button, let alone the rest of an Xbox controller layout! This isn’t a Microsoft exclusive game, so why isn’t there a PlayStation button layouts included in the options?

### 5/5 — Best Game Ever

*2026-07-18, version 1.0.7*

I’ve played this game since 97’ still Jane my original copy
On my ps1, final fantasy will always be number 1

### 3/5 — Best FF ever, BUT…

*2026-07-14, version 1.0.7*

Been playing this since it first released on the ps. Loved it every time I’ve played thru, with one exception. The INTERMINABLE cut scenes, hours wasted wishing for a “skip scene” option that never shows up. If/when that happens it would be better than 5 stars. With the enormously frustrating waste of play time, it gets 3. 
DEVS- can we get that fix put in?? You’re still updating, so how about a “skip scene” or fast forward option??

### 4/5 — A True Classic…

*2026-07-11, version 1.0.7*

The iPhone version could use an update on its screen resolution though…

### 1/5 — Do not buy!

*2026-07-04, version 1.0.7*

The game ends when you have to bring back the girl with cpr. No matter how long you try it will not work! Don’t listen to bots talk about numbers either cause you don’t get any numbers it’s just a bar that you have to eye level it. I’m guessing in the ps version there were numbers but not this. You’re literally swinging in the dark on this.

### 3/5 — Glitz

*2026-06-30, version 1.0.7*

THERE IS A BUG!!!!!!! It closed out the came TWICE almost $20 game for a bug!

### 3/5 — Last update made the screen smaller?

*2026-06-28, version 1.0.7*

Seriously. It was already really small. Give us a zoom function.
