And when I restart the app it temporarily solves it not nosing when it could happen. Could you update this app so it supports the latest iOS? It’ll be greatly appreciated, thank you! ### 4/5 — One of the best RPGs ever made. *2020-07-01, version 1.2.5* First off, thanks you Square Enix for keeping this app updated for 8 years. A lot of companies have abandoned their apps when they stop working and you have consistently kept this app up to date throughout the years so that it can still be enjoyed. I have two suggestions. Firstly, please update this app with iCloud support. For longer games, like RPGs, the ability to backup and keep your progress between devices is important. Please add this feature into the game. Secondly, please update some of the lower resolution art assets in the game. The Switch version of the game looks incredibly sharp in contrast to this version of the game; and yes I do understand that some of that is due to file size limitations for App Store apps. My first suggestion is definitely the one I would love to see implemented the most. Thank you regardless for keeping this game up to date. The iPad, for years, has been my preferred way to experience this game; even over the DS original. ### 2/5 — Cannot start new game, black screen no cutscene *2020-01-14, version 1.2.3* Bought this game long time ago, never really finish the whole game. Want to finally complete it, but it won’t work under iOS 13. Please update it. ### 3/5 — I don't understand the hype *2013-04-06, version 1.1.0* This game gives me mixed feelings. For one, zoom in on the preview pics first before buying, you will notice t is blurrier full screen. The jaggedness of the picture is MUCH WORSE in the actual game which makes me feel like they touched up I the preview pics. If you like square games for the graphics and score/music like I do, then you will be sadly disappointed. The music is good, but it is low sound quality. If your expecting nice crisp, sexy graphics you will be denied. The wouldn't be hard if it wasn't for the gimmicky controls. To actually play I found myself having to set the ipad (4th gen) on my lap and use my index fingers. The ONLY thing good about this game is the story and even that is lackluster. I mean if you've played many square games and your expecting something new, you will be again disappointed. Sorry but the description of the game lies. ### 5/5 — Worth every penny *2013-02-23, version 1.1.0* What a great game... that's all I can really say about it without giving too much, I'm afraid. I just beat this (got about 35 hours of gameplay from it, give or take 5 hours) and this simply is a great game, owning every element that makes a game great. Gameplay. Music. Story. Theme. Dialogue. Development. And, though I haven't replayed it yet, it seems to have great replay value. But I feel like people who beat it, especially if the theme resonates with them, won't want to play it again for a little while at least, which is a good thing. No, it's not that they'll be sick of it. By the time you beat this game, odds are you'll want some more. The reason one might not replay it immediately is due to the goal of whoever decided upon the theme: a lesson that I'm afraid many people and gamers alike need today. Play it. You'll see what I mean. The world ends with you. ### 4/5 — So far absolutely stellar. *2013-01-31, version 1.1.0* There's a bit much in terms of exposition, but the style, music, customization and battle system are worth it. Though I wonder why the graphics look blurry on my iPad mini for a 2GB game… Do we not get the remastered graphics? the game itself is worth every penny, but I feel like I'm playing something different from what is described; character images are blurry and the audio quality of the soundtrack is inferior to the samples I found on iTunes. yet the game is the size of final fantasy 4, six times over. ### 5/5 — Great. It's a bit tricky to get use to *2013-01-17, version 1.1.0* A strange feel if your use to the ds version but not bad either at least it's fresh from the usual apps, some things are done different that may have many long time fans argue about like the bosses, they take a lot longer to take out and it said better visuals but only some characters and enemies get touched up on, if your new to the series this has less of a difficulty curve I recommend you get this ### 5/5 — Children need to be quiet *2013-01-13, version 1.1.0* So in all aspects of this version, it's worth getting, the game is 90% the same as the DS title, except a few key notes like fusions and interactions of how you play the game... But the iPad is a ONE screen device, so of course changes were necessary to this version. What is irritating however is people who buy this game fully knowing that it's not going to be the entire same game, buy it and complain about the differences about it... I have bought every thing available this game has to offer (in game purchases) and can safely say that I do not regret it in anyway. The graphics are a refreshing taste to my eyes, you can see more of the game since they expanded the screen visuals to fit a larger screen... I don't care if it's truly HD or not because in my opinion look at it like this, the DS has two screens, the iPad has one, so in the aspect of a forced one screen layout, all graphics have essentially been resized to a 400% enlargement and have smooth scaling lines that are easy on the eyes. So in closing, quit acting like children and complaining over small details and enjoy a good game when it's presented to you. P.S. This game is just as awesome as the first version. So buy both if you can and compare them side by side!! P.P.S. The secret boss will be easy if you wimp out and use black planets and fast Lv.3 fusions, try without more then an occasional Lv.1 fusion and a normal deck, it's actually quite thrilling. ### 5/5 — So zeta awesome! *2013-01-04, version 1.1.0* I beat this game on the DS and I am very happy to see it out on the App Store, I am almost at the end of the first seven days already and I must say, even though there are no changes I am blown away, just as I was when I played the DS version. This isn't a game you play, it's a game you feel, you connect with the characters almost as if your reading a book. The person who reviewed this and said the story line was bad was clearly paid by someone to complain, the music shop isn't something you get at the end of the game you get it in the beginning, so if you want to lie about how amazing a game is at least get you facts strait. I mean really! You can do better than that. Any other bad review less than a 4 was because it wouldn't work on their devise because of the random errors that all apps have If you get this game and play through it you will not regret it, it is simply amazing, and the best part is that there is a mini game within the game that is like bayblades which is awesome! So please don't listen to the negative review that baboon wrote, the info isn't even correct. Play the game for yourself and see how it fares. You will be amazed. ### 5/5 — Great Port, Bad Soundtrack *2012-12-23, version 1.1.0* this port is unbelieveable. the battle system is greatly adjusted from the DS to work on a iPad or iPhone, though if I had to choose a version the originals better just because of the mass chaps of passing the light puck and controlling two characters at once! It's funnier on the touch screen to drag the pins and use the attacks with your hands. my only complaint is on the remixed sound tracks. honestly most of them are really distracting and inferior to the original, and it ruined key moments for me in the story when the music would seeming randomly stop and change from the original just to through in a jumbled mess. I update or feature to switch to the original once u beat the game or something would be most appreciated. great port, now just bring us the sequel! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Won’t count new game+ achievements *2020-05-27, version 1.2.3* In the post game, you have different tasks to earn stars and it doesn't count day 3’s final task even if you do it ### 1/5 — Unable to start game after pressing new game button. *2020-04-05, version 1.2.3* Please update this or take it off the market if it won’t be supported for iOS 13 ### 1/5 — Game doesn’t load *2020-02-01, version 1.2.3* Just paid $20 and it won’t load! I want a refund. ### 1/5 — Black screen cutscenes *2020-01-26, version 1.2.3* Please update ### 1/5 — Unplayable *2020-01-21, version 1.2.3* It doesn’t support ios13 on the iPad ### 1/5 — It doesn’t even work!!!! *2020-01-14, version 1.2.3* I can’t get past the start screen! I want a full refund!! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on iOS 13 *2020-01-12, version 1.2.3* :( ### 1/5 — Ios13 Game won’t start past the start screen?? *2020-01-07, version 1.2.3* I was hoping to play but it won’t even start! Edit: It looks like it freezes at animated cutscene Regardless I’m planning to get a refund Do not buy until it’s updated!! ### 1/5 — Broken *2020-01-03, version 1.2.3* Custscenes don’t work and can’t start the game on ios13 ### 1/5 — One save file, frequent forced auto saves *2013-08-08, version 1.1.0* Flash storage only gets so many writes before it craps out, please stop wasting them all whenever I do ANYTHING. Or, at least offer iCloud storage if you insist on saving after every battle, exiting from the menu, exiting some sub menus, having any conversation, start of new day, etc. It would be great if you would let us choose what events to save after or implement a manual save. It would be even better if you did iCloud saves when that is available. I'm not quite sure why my partner is a pin now, but I assume it has something to do with a lack of controller and second screen. All this game is doing is making me want to play the DS version. It's a wonderful game, but the port could have been much better. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — My favorite app/game since ds *2022-06-27, version 1.2.5* No complaints here love all alround this is #1 game for 15 year sorry about no more details storyline the music tells it all ### 5/5 — It works on iOS 14.7, hooray! *2021-08-07, version 1.2.5* I love this game, played it years ago and just recently discovered it’s available on the App store again. There are a bunch of comments saying it won’t load, but it’s working flawlessly for me on iOS 14.7 ( urrent as of August 2021) using an iPad Pro 12.9”, 2nd gen. (from 2018). For anyone who hasn’t played it - I highly recommend this game, it’s a true classic with a fantastic soundtrack, terrific artwork, and unique, interesting combat. And the storyline…seriously, don’t read about the plot in the wiki, just play the game…you’ll be glad you did. ### 5/5 — WHERE IS FINAL FANTASY VIII?! *2020-09-25, version 1.2.5* FINAL FANTASY VIII. GIVE IT. YOU REMASTERED IT. GIVE. US. THE. GAME. ### 5/5 — Fix sound please! *2016-02-02, version 1.2.3* I'm happy to be able to redownload the game without purchasing it twice. I was so upset when it got removed from the App Store. But when I searched for it again it is now on my iPad air2. Game works fine so far. But sound works only with headphones plugged in. Hopefully this game will not disappear again. ### 5/5 — Best game on iOS *2015-09-15, version 1.2.1* For those of you new to The World Ends With You: For those of you who don't know this was a sleeper hit on the Nintendo DS quite a few years back. It received massive critical acclaim both for its amazing art and incredible gameplay. It is by the same development team as the Kingdom Hearts franchise, and has the same amount of polish seen in those games. For those of you who played the original release: This is not the same game as the one on the DS. Sure it is the same story, same characters, same map, but the port to the iPad is nothing short of astounding. ALL the sprites have been completely redrawn, the combat system has been completely reworked, offering an entirely new experience for the seasoned TWEWY veteran. ### 5/5 — Great port+Great Game=Awesomeness Explosion *2014-09-23, version 1.2.0* TWEWY is one of the best games out there. It has a great story, great visuals, great characters, and the best soundtrack ever. But one of the best things was the combat. The DS combat system was difficult (too difficult for some people) but rewarding. Of course, iPads don't have two screens. So they completely redesigned, rebalanced, and recoded the combat system for one screen, equipment and pins included. And did square do a good job! Long time TWEWY players may not like the new battle system as much as on the DS (partners are a bit less important, since the DS version made both people share HP. Now they are invincible summons), but the system is sound. Square took the extra mile and made the combat feel at home on the iPad where other companies would have left it a bit unrefined. If and when TWEWY 2 is made, I am certain that square will deliver the same quality, and more, than what was given here. ### 5/5 — Best port of an RPG. Ever. *2013-12-05, version 1.2.0* The title says it all, pretty much. The unique gameplay that was built for the DS made this game a great fit for iOS. I enjoyed every bit of this game; from the realistic 'almost Shibuya' background art, to the wild characters, to the engaging and diverse control/power system, to the extremely catchy soundtrack. (Calling is joining Sanctuary as a favorite track in my music collection) This game looks far better than any other pixel art game on the iOS. My only complaints are these: the sticker art, the split screen mechanic being reduced to a single action (your partner is no more than a summon), and the fact that none of the collectibles can be moved out of the library. I still think it was worth 20$, unless you have the DS version already. ### 5/5 — Phenomenal! *2013-08-07, version 1.1.0* I see what everyone's complaining about now. The letters e's and o's are a little blurry... Seriously people? I've been keeping an eye out for this gem for quite some time and I just happen to be scrolling through games and saw that this was selling for half it's original price?? Bought it in a heart beat! Graphics, story, music are all solid and befitting of a RPG. Controls may take some getting used to. In simple words: I love this game. It's taken 2.4gb of space but its fits perfectly in my collection. Having bought Dead Space, Real Racing 2 and Infinity Blade all for .99 a piece made it easier deleting them just to make room for this baby <3 ### 5/5 — Best Game Ever! *2013-05-26, version 1.1.0* This is one of the best games I have ever played and I have played it many times on the DS. The iPad version is awesome looking and the game play is great. In rebuttal to what someone wrote earlier about how they lost their save game file when they switched iPads, I have also switched iPads twice and I did not lose my save game file, so I'm sorry but it must have been something you did wrong. Besides this game is so fun to play, I would have no problems with starting over from scratch. The game is a little expensive but well worth it for the replay value, there are so many pins to collect. You get the full game for the price with no "in-game purchases" that seem to cost you money at every turn or time limitations. Buy this game and you won't be sorry. ### 5/5 — Stunning *2013-02-24, version 1.1.0* I owned this game originally for DS when it was released. I sold my DS and was happy to see this game in the app store. This is probably one of the best games that Square Enix has released in recent years. It has a great story, plenty of twists and turns, characters to love and characters to hate. Plus the music fits directly into the setting of Shibuya, and the soundtrack is stellar by the way. Finally battles. While the Ipad version of this game feels a bit easier initially, this is mainly due to the fact your partner has received a major boost in power. Also the ipad screen makes gameplay much easier when compared to the DS stylus. If you are looking for a game where you can easily invest 30-40 hours of well spent enjoyable time, this game is a excellent choice. If you are wanting something you can pick up and put down again rather quickly, you probably want to pass as you won't be putting this game down anytime soon. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
