Ratings and reviews

The game feels good overall. Controls feel smooth, and the "tap mode" works surprisingly well. Graphics look nice and give that nostalgic feel without going overboard. The mobile version is missing some features from the console and PC versions (changing encounter rates, portrait of characters when talking to them, and fast walking outside of tap mode). FF2 has always been a weird game to play, but this version, I'm my opinion, is the best way to play it.

Similar to FF1, a great port of this game! Virtually any issues I have are with the game itself, rather than anything about this particular version of the game; in fact, this might be the definitive way to play FF2. The same issues with FF1 exist here as well: the font and battle menu buttons are rather small, and the virtual thumbstick is difficult for me to move around with. However, those are fairly minor complaints, and the game itself is an excellent port!

The old version was a bit janky with how the touch screen interface was rigged to work with it, but I was able to get the flow easily enough. In this one, i find myself unable to get used to the controls and menus. It's nice to move diagonally, but the way its implemented makes navigation more difficult. The battle menus are inconsistent, sometimes the back button is in the list, sometimes its somewhere else. Not much in settings that can help either. A bit more polish is needed there.

What's new

*Assistance features have been added to the config. menu. These new features open up a wide variety of gameplay possibilities. They offer options such as applying a x0 to x4 modifier to the ratios by which status or skill levels increase by, or to the amount of gil obtained.
*Support for game pads. It is now possible to play using a dedicated gamepad UI by connecting a gamepad to your device.
