Great Game, Great Price, Save Anywhere!

Please make a Chrono Trigger remake with this much quality! This is a beautiful remake of the old Gameboy game Final Fantasy Adventure (in the U.S.). It doesn't hold your hand like today's RPGs and it doesn't offer a way to pay for any info or upgrades. This is what video games should be: Pure and simple fun, with tight controls, fun gameplay, convenient saving anywhere, and a true sense of adventure. I'm 36 now, but this game makes me feel like a 10 year-old all over again. Five stars. THIS is what I want from Square-Enix. Sure wish more people would agree so we could see more games like this and less time-wasting, fleeting F2P "games."

Aged poorly

This is just a port of a PSP graphic update to a beloved game boy game that has aged very very poorly. While the polygonal 3-D graphics are snazzy, and the music as awesome as ever, the gameplay and storyline of this game were really never very engaging.....or fun to begin with. Control wise, if you have an MFI controller, then it plays perfectly but who cares when you’ll be endlessly grinding against flat uninteresting monsters in order to accomplish forgettable fetch quests thrown at you by cardboard characters in a mellow dramatic, convoluted “story” so contrived and so ham fisted that it makes daytime soap operas feel like Shakespeare by comparison? The game is riddled with game ending, unsolvable “puzzles” that involve doing asinine, ridiculously cryptic tasks like: walking around two trees in a the shape of a figure 8 until a secret door opens.....at some random, undisclosed place in the monotonous, one dimensional woods, that look like all the other woods. Without a walkthrough the game is virtually unbeatable. With the look and sound being as good as it is, if this game were a completely reimagined (True Remake) of Final Fantasy Adventure then I think they could justify the relatively steep price.... but as it is? This game is just not worth the money or the time. The original was considered good in its time, for a game boy game (that people couldn’t beat even back then) but by todays standards your better off playing so many other games.

Final Fantasy Legend Gameboy Finally on IPad!

Ignore the haters of the game! Graphics are fresh and sweet! There’s a music note button which can change music back to the various FFA GB soundtrack songs featured throughout the game! Monsters give a dying roar and other effects when you beat bosses and there are other cool sounds when you defeat a frienemy (minor spoiler). Yeah the slightly top down 360 movement is there like the ol’ one however the will power gauge on bottom of screen recharges faster than the gameboy game! Explosive visuals and the other positive aspects I mentioned make this game worth buying. Don’t pass this up!

Good but.

1st play through was ok. A good game. A lot of creatures can only be hurt by certain weapons. I found it tedious to constantly change weapons during battle to kills guys. The second playthrough seemed boring and I quite early. The replay value just wasn’t there for me. I replayed many NES games dozens of times and the replay value was awesome even though the graphics weren’t good. Still this is a good solid game. But now that I beat it, it’s now permanently shelved. I’d rather play this than any freemium game out there though.

Fantastic remake of the Original

This game is an amazing remake of the original gameboy version. Great music and a simple but good story with unique areas and bosses to fight. In typical SquareSoft fashion, the updates often take a year or more to show up, but thankfully the most recent update fixed all the issues this game was having.

Better than Zelda! Plain. Simple. Period.

Now that i’ve triggered all you fanbois, i'm going to go load my cast iron skillets into my dishwasher. Seriously though, beautifully remastered game which takes the old gameboy version to the next level. the revamped music is amazing as well. Definitely worth owning.

Game Ending Glitch

Listen, I buy all the Square Enix games, every single Final Fantasy and these action RPG’s as well. But this game has a GAME ENDING GLITCH that occurs once you defeat Ifrit about halfway through the game! You get stuck outside of the dungeon without your Chocobo travel back over water and continue the story. It’s a shame, because it’s a really fun game up until that point. I won’t be asking for a refund because I like to support SE and hope they bring more games into the App Store, but please fix these type of things before releasing them. BUYER BEWARE!

Stuck on Loading screen

Just got this game - after my first save, trying to load the game or continue takes me to a white loading screen and the music plays. Even closing the app the music still plays. Making sure the app is truly closed by swiping it up, the music still plays. Only way to stop the music is to turn my phone off. Can’t continue any save and I have to shut my phone off each time just to stop the music? Please fix this…
