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. ### 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. ### 4/5 — Dishonest Company *2025-08-29, version 1.2.2* I have purchased several Square Enix titles on iOS. Now a number of them have been placed behind an Apple Arcade paywall, and I have not been reimbursed for them. ### 3/5 — 音がなりません。 *2025-08-27* スマホの設定、アプリ側の設定を試したけど音がならない。 何とかして欲しい。 ### 3/5 — ゲームパッド対応のアプデが来ていたので購入したが… *2025-04-29* なぜかメニューの並びが装備→アイテム→魔法となっている。確認したところPCやCSではいつもの並びな模様。やっていれば慣れるかと思ったが無理そうなので返金申請中。そのうち他ハードで買い直そうと思います ### 2/5 — ゲームモードにならなくなった *2025-03-29* ios18のiPhoneでプレイしているが、今まではアプリを起動するとゲームモードになってたのに、ver1.2.1にアップデートして以降ゲームモードにならなくなった。 そのためか、明らかに要所要所でカクつくようになった。 ピクリマ全シリーズで同様の事象が起きたため直してほしい。 ### 4/5 — Where is the bestiary? *2025-03-24, version 1.2.0* Every online website says the bestiary is in the “extras” menu. There is no extras menu. Then you can find specific comments to the iOS version that it’s in the “configuration” menu - but it’s not in the configuration menu. Lastly, you can dig up comments that some versions don’t show it, and you need up update - but It’s already up to date. Can anyone see a bestiary? Was it removed in a recent update? ### 3/5 — 時の迷宮は無い *2025-02-04* やりたかった ### 1/5 — Add classic font *2025-01-30, version 1.1.0* It’s a bit ridiculous that the other versions of this game gives you the option to change the font to classic but not this one. Why is that? Please Square Enix or whoever is in charge, just gives us the option to change the font. It really shouldn’t be much work for you guys. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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? ### 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。、 ### 1/5 — 自動的に解除される最後の実績が取れません *2026-01-26* 「隠された遊び」取得後、自動的に解除されるハズの最後の実績「FF1マスター！」が何故か解除されず。不具合ですかね？リメイクの完成度は高く、実績のコンプリートを頑張っていたので少しゲンナリしました。修正されたら星５つにする予定。 追記　2026/1/26追記 まだ上記不具合なおっていません。数年前の当時サポートに連絡したのでバグなことはわかっているハズです。スクエニのものづくりに対するスタンスがよく分かりました。無視すれば忘れてくれると思ったんでしょうか？星1に変更です。 ### 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 ### 1/5 — Achtung! *2025-07-09* Das Spiel kann nicht beendet werden. Es fehlt ein ganzer dungeon. Der Tempel der Erde (oder so) ist normalerweise bereits von Spielbeginn an zu betreten und befindet sich zwischen der ersten Stadt und dem ersten dungeon (Chaostempel oder so). Ist hier einfach nicht vorhanden. Super Strange. Führt dazu, dass das Spiel nicht abgeschlossen werden kann. Also: spart euch das Geld!!! ### 1/5 — Not how to do a remake *2025-04-23, version 1.2.1* This is my third time attempting to do a review for this game going into details about what’s wrong with it. And it keeps ending before I can finish. So I’m gonna enter it little bits at a time and hopefully I’ll get it all in. This proves to me the developers know they made a lazy job with this. So if it doesn’t feel complete check back later. I’ll be sure to explain the problems clearly and easily. Break down: I played the original game so I know it was meant to be VERY hard. The game did not hold your hand in anyway. You did not know which class could use which weapons or armor. Spells had status effects you had to pay attention to. Monsters also may have had status effects or symbols you had to learn. The best was the Black Belt. We’re a player would notice that he would never hit hard however he would hit a lot of times. Figuring out how to get the most punches out of him while also making them the most was part of the fun of this game. ### 1/5 — 実際に遊んでみて感じた不満 *2025-03-27* レベルアップ時のステータス厳選がとてつもなく厳し過ぎて途方に暮れました。 IIのブーストモードにあった能力値上昇4倍モードか、レベルアップ時全ステータス上昇機能をブーストモードに追加して欲しいです。 装備制限解除モードや、獲得アイテムとステータスを引き継いで遊べる強くてニューゲーム的なモードも欲しいです。 あと戦士とシーフがクラスチェンジ後にMPの最大値が 0なのも不満です。 キャラクターレベルに応じて最大MPが付与される様に改善して欲しいです。 不満点さえ無ければ懐かしさも相まって星5を付けられる良いゲームだと思います。 ### 1/5 — No music *2025-03-25, version 1.2.0* I spent 7 dollars on this game and after uninstalling and troubleshooting there is no music. Thats half the reason i even downloaded this. App support is useless. I want a refund ### 1/5 — Refund *2025-02-24, version 1.1.0* Is it possible to get a refund on this? It’s been deleted from my phone ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 ### 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 ### 5/5 — Fun game *2025-11-24, version 1.2.2* Little hard to figure out how the game works, but fun. ### 5/5 — Pixelated Nostalgia *2025-08-08, version 1.2.2* So that you may know. I am a child of the Nintendo Generation (born 1986 a month or two after the Challenger blew up). I have played so May 8 bit and 16 bit adventures but we always were Zelda fans (Miyamoto be praised) and so I missed the final fantasies. I look forward to enjoying 1-6 (the pure Nintendo products). It feels so much like the real thing but I have the advantage of enjoying it as an adult. It is so much fun it’s like I am again. Thank you for brining it back so faithfully! ### 5/5 — BOOST IS OP YESYESYESYESYESYES *2025-08-05, version 1.2.2* Ok so when I bought this game I saw a boost screen and gained level 40 around Astos. I thought, “This is OP” Now I have completed the bestiary and have 21 out of the 24 achievements. Absolutely amazing game! Ps. I play the classics ### 5/5 — Thank You for Controller Support!! *2025-07-06, version 1.2.2* This was all that was missing, updated to 5 stars! (Please give FF2-FF6 the same treatment!) ### 5/5 — Finally! Classic Font! *2025-04-03, version 1.2.1* Took way too long for this but I guess they finally decided to add classic font. Thanks Square, next time just have it there in the first place. ### 5/5 — Beautiful *2025-01-29, version 1.1.0* I loved every second of this game front to back. The crystals and all of the towns you went to made this story. Plus I loved talking to Bahamut and seeing his origins --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
