Love the game, but needs update
Meipster
Cloud saves don’t work any more and sometimes the game crashes. Need to update for new phones and iOS updates.
Square Enix Doesn’t Care

My title says it all. A year almost since they said a fix would come in a patch. When I checked in with them, they once again blame Apple. Thank my lucky stars for searching through all of my backup stuff. I found a DQ8 1.1.1 backup. I loaded that into my iTunes, then synced with my iPad. Voila! It worked! If you have a Mac, go through time machine. You will likely find a copy and can continue your adventures in Dragon Quest VIII. I’m now disabling app updates as I love my cloud saving!
PLEASE FIX CLOUD SAVE!

I am so worried about breaking/losing my device and having to start all over because the cloud save doesn’t work. This game would have been 5 star if it wasn’t for this.
iPhone X optimization

This game looks tiny, and honestly, awful on iPhone X. A full screen update would be appreciated, even if it is an in-app purchase.
Awesome.

Love this game. Owned it on Ps2. And now got it on Apple. So excited. Only wish it supported a game pad or wireless controller. If that could be add. Would be totally awesome. Thanks for the app!!!
Hot garbage of a former great game

How are they charging 20$ for this? It literally runs at 15 frames per second. This is the laziest port I’ve ever seen. This is worth no more than a buck or two to get the nastalgia fix for a few minutes. Pros: *the original game was great Cons: *portrait mode only. *Runs at 15 fps or less on a 2017 iPad Pro. *Replaced original beautiful soundtrack with a crappier midi Doppleganger. *20$ wasted. *unresponsive controls. Unfortunately there’s no chance they will ever come back and fix this, yet I guess they feel justified somehow to still take 20 dollars per person, who every single person will open the game up, I swear this, and say this is unplayable. Conclusion: This is a cash grab like selling paintings you accidentally spilled paint on and calling it a Jackson pollack.
iCloud doesn’t work
Tangx63
I have been playing this game very casually for about 3 yrs now. Great game but now that I have a new iPhone X since my other one took a beating and does not fully work anymore. I cannot retrieve my old game save on the iCloud. Send tickets and nothing new really from what I have been reading from others with same problem. SE blames Apple and Apple blames SE. iCloud function used to work great for this game before and I noticed it stopped working roughly a year ago. I did not pay any real mind to it since I was not planning on a new phone then. Please fix this. A good amount of us paid full price for this when it can out such as myself which I believe was around $30. I also have every other dragon quest and final fantasy game you guys produced and all of their iCloud functions work perfectly fine. This is the only game where it doesn’t work from all of your titles I own. I’ve been a loyal customer when you were square soft and Enix apart since the late 80’s. Please fix. Thank you.
Needs an update

This is mostly in regards to how S.E. basically ignores their games after three months. It needs an update to at least support iPhone X, and to fix the issue it’s had almost since launch with iCloud saves. I haven’t been able to play it to completion because I lose my save data at some point. The games amazing, it just needs some fixing.
iCloud service doesn’t work at all

It has been several years, please fix or remove this function. It works well on artepiazza production from 1-6 without issue. But on Level 5, it always fail. And we need western or Chinese version of DQ7 on IOS. Please!!!!!
