It’s twenty years old after all, and less well-suited to mobile. If I understand the pricing model correctly, one person buys it for £25 and the three other people can play with that person for free. Why? Just make it £6.25 per account. Another issue is that the multiplayer relies on a server. Why? There should be a Wi-Fi local multiplayer mode so the multiplayer game can still be played when the servers inevitably go off-line one day. That day could be tomorrow. Not worth buying it at the current price with the current risk. ### 4/5 — Overpriced *2024-11-25* It’s an outstanding game but priced too high. It’s twenty years old after all, and less well-suited to mobile. If I understand the pricing model correctly, one person buys it for £25 and the three other people can play with that person for free. Why? Just make it £6.25 per account. ### 1/5 — No true local play and no controller support? *2024-09-07* Very odd to call this a remaster and then not improve the headline feature (local multiplayer) or even add controller support. It's great that I don't need the full game to play co opp if I have it on my switch already but why do you need to insert a separate device into the equation at all? My switch and all my joycons and controllers are right there, why can't I just use those like I would in any of the other multiplayer Nintendo games I own? And when I get my phone working and connected I need to use touch screen controls? In 2024? Honestly I had a better experience playing this with my game boy advanced plugged into my GameCube back in the early 2000s. Legendary game but if I had known the local multiplayer was going to be such a downgrade I wouldn't have purchased it on switch. Definitely need to do my research before thinking of buying other Nintendo "remasters" in the future. ### 1/5 — No Controls = Limited Skill *2023-05-14* When I saw that this game as the same one I remembered playing on GameCube I was excited to give it a try. I even bought a kishi razor so I could play it with a controller so I can have a similar experience. Sadly… I found out it doesn’t support controllers at all. Now don’t get me wrong, I won’t dis a game just because it doesn’t support controllers. However sadly when the touch screen controls are so unintuitive, it makes the experience very lackluster and frustrating in more difficult levels. You won’t be able to block or switch to spells fluidly during fights like you could with controller because they decided to make you slide to switch instead of just pressing a “next” option. This all just limits crazy things you can pull off and sadly I would say just play it if you are fine dodging and W+M1 swinging. However don’t think your going to be able to use crazy skills in succession with the controls as they currently are. ### 5/5 — Nostalgia in my hands but it needs controller support *2023-04-29* It’s so awesome that any time I want I can play my favorite game of the past 20 years. The touchscreen controls are actually good to use and are intuitive. But, this game needs controller support to make it more fun. When I’m lounging on the couch I like to hookup my Backbone controller to my iPhone 14 pro max Sadly this is one of the only games I have installed that don’t use controllers. Please add controller support. Thank you for reading. ### 5/5 — Please add controller support *2023-03-13* This game would play amazing with controller support ### 5/5 — Please add support to backbone *2022-08-04, version 1.2.0* I really love this game I used to play it when it first came out on the GameCube being a fan of this game I have bought it on my PS5 and on my iPhone so I can play on the go. I just recently bought a backbone to play my mobile games more comfortably but Final fantasy crystal chronicles isn’t supported as an update please add backbone support. ### 5/5 — Make it full game *2022-07-02* Please ### 3/5 — Controller support *2022-05-09, version 1.2.0* I want to relive my childhood and I want to do that while playing on a controller stick, I have yet to fill engaged as I once did as a kid like I want to. Other than that you’ve done mostly everything else right. ### 1/5 — Controller support *2022-04-29* Controller support please ## Frequently asked questions about FINALFANTASY CRYSTALCHRONICLES ### What is FINAL FANTASY CRYSTAL CHRONICLES?
