Ratings and reviews

The gameplay experience of this was amazing. I got very lost in the story and the touch joystick worked quite well. Only thing I couldnt master well was the jump rope and clicking on destinations on the world map. Every once in a while I wish I was playing it inn the PlayStation but the convenience of leveling up while commuting is a real plus. That is another thing, this game is the only port in the series that doesnt require a connection! No bugs for me except occasionally when I went to other apps it would restart outsold without autosaving. So I just learned to save more. Best game ever!

the game is visually appealing and touch controls are responsive and easy to use however the game continues to have an issue with Pixel 2 phones, with Pie operating system, which does not allow the user to navigate past dual speech bubbles. as mentioned below you can get past the speech bubbles with an external controller. will update rating if problem is fixed

They finally fixed the Pixel bug about the swordfight but there seems to be more bugs that prevents progression. After leaving the Evil Forest and the cut scene, an instruction box pops up explaining how to navigate the overworld. There doesn't seem to be a way to dismiss that box preventing progress. FFIX is my favourite one of the series and it saddens me that it's still incredibly buggy. Please fix!
