    The game is just how I remember, but it would be so much better if it were compatible with controllers. Could you please include this in an update?

  • This was actually a good game.

    Alright, some minor spoilers for gameplay bellow. This game was the introduction to the new (at the time) way Final Fantasy handles real time back and forth battles. If there were issues in the NES version, I never had any playing through it. The whole process can be turned off but I played through it as it was and didn’t mind it after a while. Some battles were pretty hard when you realize you don’t have 2~5 minutes to review over your abilities. These enemies can attack whenever so it does add some urgency. Things I liked were leveling wasn’t too bad and made it easier to play through. Saw a review that said they made it easier, but as a casual player I felt it made it easier to grind if I want to and beat tough bosses I didn’t know would be randomly thrust at me. Am I unhappy that I couldn’t play as the end characters I wanted, probably. But I will not fault this game. As a “pixel remaster” I don’t see it as some definitive edition people say it should be. I never played the FF4 3D version which probably has these things, and maybe even added or changed story beats. The story was also pretty good, but I’ll forgive them that it wasn’t the end all be all standout. This game does great with revitalizing what it should. The game took me even longer to beat than FF3 which is not unexpected. There was a lot of additional content I didn’t expect as well. I’m curious if I missed anything but all in all, great game. Would recommend playing just to experience it if nothing else.

  • WAY TOO EASY

    It looks and sounds great, but there is zero challenge in the FF4 pixel remaster. SNES version was way more challenging, took twice as long to level up, and you had to level up to beat the bosses. You can’t walk through the 4 elemental fiends with no sweat in the SNES version like you can with this. This version also has the least amount of content. The 3D version is better. Way more content and it’s challenging. With the pixel remaster you are stuck with super easy difficulty and a shorter game.

  • Not on par with other versions

    I LOVE the original Final Fantasy games so you can only imagine how happy I was to learn about these new versions. In good faith I bought the whole FF Pixel Remaster bundle. I was immediately upset to see there was no controller support. When I went online to see if an update was pending, I was dismayed to find out that not only has there NOT been an update in ages, but the PS4 and Switch versions have alternate music tracks, no encounter mode, and an EXP boost mode! As a family man with a rather busy schedule, those last two features would have been extremely welcome. I’m unfortunately going to issue request for a refund. Hopefully someday Square will find it in there hearts to make all versions have the same feature set.

    Game lacks controller support, which is odd as their WotL supports it

  • Sudden Crashes…

    Surprising this 30 year old game is to much for a iPad. Graphics looks great but the chugging between transitions triggers “is going to crash?” Spoilers yes it will so save often. I love the quality of life changes from the original but come on. Make it playable.

  • NEEDS controller support

    Game needs controller support, I paid much more for this decades old game than I would any other new iOS game only for it to not be updated to modern accessibility. ADD CONTROLLER SUPPORT PLEASE.

  • Glitched achievement / horrible controls

    By OCD Achievement Hunter
    The Master of IV achievement is bugged on this game just like with the other pixel remasters. If the final achievement doesn’t trigger correctly it may get locked for you as well. Support was no help and I haven't found a way to force it to trigger. The touch controls are janky. Tap to move works fantastic, unfortunately you can’t use tap to move in hidden walls forcing you to swap to the touch joystick. Please add controller support! The older versions had it and the steam version of these has it! I’ll change my review if these issues are ever patched.

  • Controller support please!

    I’ve been playing square games for years, and it’s a pleasure to continue. Controller support is what’s missing from this great legacy of games!!
