Good Port – FINAL FANTASY (Old Ver.) Review

For what it is, this is a pretty good port for iOS. It’s simplified enough that it’s not cumbersome to play but not drastic enough that it takes away from the original while maintaining playability on a portable device. I don’t follow Final Fantasy enough to know all of the changes but they have used some of the newer terminology in this port, for instance gold is labeled as gill in this. Also there is only 1 silver sword that drops by chance from Astos, no more buying them in Elfheim, these are pretty important changes to note for new players looking for the original. Other than the game becoming entirely too easy because the scale of the enemies and amount of so awarded is completely broken so you almost never die, it’s still fun to play casually when you want to reminisce of the original
