Very nicely rendered, almost 100% worth it. Controls could be better, the calibration appears to be off because you have to tap just to the right of where the button is placed, even in a custom layout. I have a moto G stylus. Everything else is great! I owned this game for both PC and PS1 and am happy to be able to support the game and square enix again. I'd love to see some new releases with similar game and story mechanics. A fresh 50% nostalgia and 50% modern TBRPG would be spectacular!

This version is great for the most part. The graphics are better, I can play on the go, the 3 times speed is helpful, no random encounters is helpful when I just want to speed through, as well as the boost. Sometimes I have to redo a certain chase scene from Dollet as it will glitch and keep starting battles endlessly unless I reset, or I have to reset to get past a certain Laguna, Ward, and Kairos scene, but otherwise, it's been great.

Its a great port of one of my favorite games of all time. If you loved the game on PS1, then this provides a great way to play it again anywhere. Would be 5 stars, but sometimes when you go do something else while the app is running, the app will reset and you will lose any progress since the last save. Other FF ports will autosave when the scene transitions and if this one did that it would be 5 stars.

This application requires approximately 2.59GB to download. Please be sure to allocate the necessary amount of time and space on your device before proceeding. ・ Only one download with a large amount of data will be required while progressing through the game. ・ Since it is a large application, it will take time to download.

[Please read before playing]
* Entering or leaving vehicles such as cars and the Garden may occasionally get your character stuck between the vehicle and terrain features, or freeze the vehicle in place. This seems to happen more often when you leave your vehicle in close proximity to impassable terrain, or when you try to enter or leave your vehicle during certain scripted events. Currently, the only fix for this is to reload a previously saved game, so please make sure to save your progress often.
* Some locations may be difficult to navigate using the Speed Boost (x3). We advise you to turn off this feature in such cases.
