FYI, if the game isn’t loading, uninstall the game, update your device, then reinstall the game. This is how I got it working again. ### 1/5 — Why does it lie? *2026-06-14, version 1.2.2* I save the game, it says the game is saved. I leave the game and come back later, there is 2 hours missing from my game, including the quick saves, It’s just gone. So I do it again, and again I save, again it says the save is complete, and again I come back and see all my progress is gone. ### 1/5 — NOT FUN AT ALL DO NOT BUY!!! *2026-05-07, version 1.2.2* So stupidly unbalanced that boss fights are no harder than random encounters. NOT FOR FANS OF THE GAME. COULD NOT FINISH. HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT. You couldn’t just port the game we all wanted, could you? ### 5/5 — Finally, the Remake I Wanted *2026-03-15, version 1.2.2* After playing other remakes, I was very reluctant to buy this one. All I wanted was the old, original Final Fantasy. This isn't quote the original, but it's as close as you could ask for. It is still easier- probably because the things that made the original so difficult were bugs... And because of that I can also understand why they wouldn't/couldn't make a pixel remaster duplicate. They can't advertise: "Including ALL the old bugs!" So... you can make it a little harder. Or a little easier and faster, since all of us who play this are adults who can't spend all afternoon grinding wolves in Elfland for just enough money to pay for a couple PUREs after a bad run in with an Asp, but I digress. It is acceptable. The others were not Final Fantasy 1, but this is acceptable. My favorite part: Original Music option! My one request for an update: Original Language and Dialogue option!!! ### 5/5 — Fantastic game. *2026-03-12, version 1.2.2* This game is a classic for a reason. The story is surprisingly interesting with a cool twist. The combat is classic and fun. The special boosts help you experience the game without the grind Nice for busy people. ### 5/5 — A fantastic upscale of a flawed but magnificent classic. *2026-03-08, version 1.2.2* I have loved every moment of the game and enjoyed the mechanics they added to assist in the difficulty of the older game ### 4/5 — My favorite game of all time! But… *2026-03-03, version 1.2.2* The new control over character movement is an improvement over the last IOS version. The lack of a bonus dungeon is a huge disappointment. The 20th anniversary addition was better. It is too bad the will no longer support it. :-( ### 4/5 — High seas *2026-03-02, version 1.2.2* Please lower the encounter rate when sailing. I get attacked every 5-7 seconds and it makes exploring monotonous. If I was attacked every 14 seconds then I could actually get somewhere. ### 1/5 — 嘘ですやん *2026-02-15* コントローラー対応はやりましょうよ、、、物価上昇含めてもリリースから価格2倍はやりすぎですし。品がない。、 ### 5/5 — Zurück in die Kindheit *2026-02-02* Habe mir das Spiel vor 4 Tagen gekauft, um mich an die Zeit meiner Kindheit zu erinnern. Es ist genau so genial und packend wie früher. Vielen Dank für dieses geniale Spiel in der Handyversion ## Frequently asked questions about FINAL FANTASY ### What is this app?
