Ratings and Reviews
Editors’ Notes
One of the most influential RPGs of all time, Final Fantasy VII takes you on an unforgettable journey through a harsh and unforgiving sci-fi landscape. Packed with tense turn-based combat and an extraordinary story, Square Enix’s masterpiece is as exhilarating now as it was when it was first released in 1997.
A classic game that would benefit further from double speed button
The game/story is a classic and gets a five stars from me, but I’d reserve giving 5 stars via this review to this iOS port until the double or triple speed option is added - explained below.
Square Enix, I love this port, but three suggestions:
1. Please add double or triple speed for at least battles sections, for those of us who played through the whole game in the past, but still want to work through random battles and strategize against bosses, but don’t’ take have time any more to play with battles at normal speed! The fast speed option is present on the PS4 port already. There are ‘god mode’ and ‘no random battle’ options already, but fast speed would be a welcome addition.
2. Please could the game buttons be customised/changed for those with an MFI pad which want to switch the confirm button to match original PS1 layout. The confirm and back button are reversed from original ps1 layout on mfi pads.
3. There ought to be also be a way to hide by reducing opacity the ‘random battles’ and ‘a/d analogue/d-pad’ toggle buttons which currently cannot be removed from the bottom of the screen.
Otherwise this iOS version is superb, particularly with an MFI game pad.
Fantastic!!!
Ok, I wanted to address some "complaints". Most people who buy this are fans of the playstation format. That said, to my eyes, improvements or upgrades are unwelcome. I, and I suspect many others, bought this for the original experience. I say this because complaints about graphics, gameplay etc is pointless. The original wasn't perfect but we all love it for its uniqueness. To address a small point, slowdown on the map seems to happen when you exit a town or the high wind from cockpit view. If you tap menu button and exit this rights the issue. A small pain but nothing's perfect. Overall I'm extremely happy with the transition onto iPad.
