FINAL FANTASY VI (Old Ver.) Reviews

The best FF an unstable port

Alxmng

This game would be great but it crashes constantly, which I dealt with until the last boss. I can’t beat the game because it eventually crashes during the long final boss fight. It’s maddening to play dozens of hours and not be able to finish the game.

Updated character sprites make me want to burn my eyes out!

This is arguably one of the greatest role-playing games ever made, with one of the, if not the single worst ports ever! All of the charm and emotion of the original 16-bit character sprites is gone and replaced with some creepy doll-like flash game character renderings. It makes an otherwise grand masterpiece nearly unplayable. This game needs a redo, bad! If you want a proper 16 bit mobile port look into the Romancing Saga games. Considering they were also done by Square it makes this game look even worsen

Fix movement and Controls

Anchor the movement pad, it’s unusable as is. Tapping anywhere on the screen is too sensitive during battles. You should have to press the buttons themselves. If you fix these things then I will play this game. I bought it but am disappointed at the lack of usability.

One request

Please make the movement joystick fixed in the bottom left like in the iPad version ff7

Sloppy port of a great game

Jordasch

First thing is a persistent bug where the game crashes after you upload your data to iCloud. Dev needs to fix that. More broadly, the aesthetic of the port is weirdly integrated: the fonts are off, as is the general presentation. The whole thing looks like of slapdash and amateurish. They didn’t take the time to seamlessly integrate the existing assets - i.e., everything from the original SNES game - into the new iOS presentation. It doesn’t show the care that really high-level retro revival games do - e.g., Celeste or Bleak Sword. The underlying game is still great enough - if endearingly earnest and try-hard - that the aesthetic issues with the port don’t keep you from enjoying it.

Do not buy!

This port is really rough. Game play was interrupted so frequently that I gave up a third of the way through the game. The storyline is amazing, and I generally enjoy the series, but I would not spend the money on this for iOS as it is not even functional.

Game crashes

HonestAndObjective

I’ve got 99% through the game without this issue but I’m finding that during some intense battles in dragons den the game starts to crash. Appears to be random as to when it happens.. but usually on the last big battle of a round I think

Intangir bug

ObiDanKanobi

I know that you all fixed the loophole/cheat to make sure the intangir battles remain true to how tough this enemy is but now there’s another bug - at least on the app version. When you get the intangir to around 2500 hit points the app crashes. Like clockwork. I’ve let go of trying to learn Stragos transfusion because it’s not possible if the app crashes every time you fight intangir. Still really enjoying playing the game. But just annoying that the app crashes so much on one monster.

Almost perfect

Wonderful game I used to think that I wouldn’t like it because of the graphics but I’ve gotten used to them. My only gripe is that the frame rate drops in some areas for some reason for short amounts of time and then it catches back up. I’m on an iPhone 11 Pro Max. Update: Crashes at random times

Great but crashes all the time

JillValentine4

FFVI is my favorite game of the series and the mobile version is great. The new art is really excellent. The only thing is that the app crashes a lot. Only today, it’s crashed on me THREE times. I’ve got the latest version and my phone is up to date. I hope that’s fixed at some point because it means I lose a lot of progress...
