I bought "FINAL FANTASY ALL THE BRAVEST" on iPhone, thinking it'd be a neat little game with upgrades and buying characters with gil and such.

I've never been so disappointed with a game in my life. I'm posting this here to warn you all, and save you the money I have now apparently tossed down the drain.

Ingame, the actions you can perform consist of the following:

  • Viewing the map
  • Going to other map screens
  • Entering levels
  • Viewing your current characters, weapons, and enemies fought
  • Buying in-app purchases for "premium" characters, weapons, enemies, maps
  • Swiping your finger across the screen to contact any available characters and use them to attack
  • Spam a link to the game on your Facebook or Twitter
  • View some game center achievements and rankings
  • Viewing dialogues

For those keeping track at home, that's a total of ONE actual gameplay action available to you the user. I've bolded it so you can see it more clearly. No upgrades. No strategy. Heck, calling that a gameplay action is too generous, the only skill to it is how fast you can swipe your finger (SPOILER: Your characters have a long refill bar, you don't need to be awfully fast.)

I'm ashamed of you, Square Enix. Fellow Steamgifterians, do not buy this game. If you get it any way, don't say ol' Cyclone didn't warn you.

This game is, and I am bolding this for emphasis, an interactive screensaver for all intents and purposes.

I'll be sitting here dejectedly bemoaning the wasted money.

Despite all my rage, I'm still just Nicolas Cage.

TWEWY for iOS is fine. And FFIV. And any of the other full games SE published on the app store before they turned to the Theatrhythm-style model of fucking everyone who's ever heard of Final Fantasy in the wallet.

Yep, but the extent to which this stinks cannot be bounded by sheer text, I wasn't expecting a full game but this is miserable

But wait. I can buy premium characters! My single occasional swipe will become super powered!
Must buy and download now...

Did I mention you can't choose the premium character? It randomly selects for you.

When you figure out what you can do and what characters are available ... frankly, most of the iOS developed Final Fantasy games are black holes.
