FINAL FANTASY TACTICS Wiki

This is one of my absolute favorite games. The iPad version of Final Fantasy Tactics is a further enhanced version of an updated edition of the seminal strategy classic. It sports sharper redrawn graphics, a fully rotatable camera and fixes the atrocious frame rate issue from the PSP versionIf you're looking for a strategy title with an epic, rich story, deep gameplay, and a tightly written script, you can do no better than this.

After playing the original FFT over 20 years ago, it is so nice to go through the experience again on the iPad. There’s a level of depth in this game that was rare with console RPGs, while being an accessible game. Mature storylines, deep job structures, fun optimizations. I find it easy to pick up on this medium and find the port to have been adapted very well here. Thank you for helping relive these memories!

This was one of my favorite games as a kid, but I never got to beat this or a few other games on PS1 because I lost my memory card and then basically gave up when the next gen of consoles came out. I recently bought this and FF9 and I’m so glad I did, they are even better as an adult and work great on the iPad.

Doesn’t suffer from the lag seen in summoning animations on ps4/psp. The camera controls take getting used to. This is a remastered old school tRPG and as such is very dense with multiple different layers of play and systems, bu he story is one of the best epics out there. A must play for any tactical rpg fan out there

Still has the best music, best story, best leveling system of any Final Fantasy game. I love this game so much, and have played through it on every system that supports it. While the touch controls are pretty good, this game would be a perfect 10 if it had controller support. Please SQUARE ENIX... PLEASE. Update: it’s 2021 - how do we still not have something like controller support in this game, that was originally designed to be played WITH a controller?

One level crashes every time there is a group of chocobos. It’s frustrating because I would really like to catch the red chocobo there. Other than that the game is pretty great. Hard, but also easy sometimes...it’s all over the map. A lot of freedom to choose how you play. The controls are frustrating in a few places.

I hadn't played this game for over a year due to the wonky controls and it not being stable on the newer iOSs. However with the update in September it's working great other than no more saving in battle. My complaint is in the way I power level my characters in the very beginning by bouncing them between the first two towns and fighting the first open stage over and over. I use JP boost on all four no names and Ramza, then leave one enemy alive and use Focus on each over and over and over again to gain JP. All of my no names shoot up 500 or more JP but Ramza stops after fifty or sixty into his assigned job. A glitch or intentional with the new update? Devs, please respond, thank you

I’ve never been a fan of touch controls, but the devs have made this game very accessible. There are some parts where the controls will be clunky and may waste a turn for you, and the “continue: Okay/cancel “ was super confusing at first so I dropped a star. Otherwise the game is fantastic and worth buying.

Ever since the new graphics update back in 2013, the game randomly crashes, sometimes even making me lose progress. Even when my iPad Air was brand new during that time, the issue persisted. The latest update significantly reduced the amount of crashing, but did not totally resolve the issue.

This game will be a perfect five stars if they had controller support. It’s still getting updated so why not add controller support?

FFT is one of my favorite games of all time and the translation, cutscenes, and other tweaks brought about in War of the Lions significantly improve the experience. Having played the game extensively on PSP, I appreciate the bug and slowdown fixes on iOS, as well as the ability to play a legal and official version of the game on a device with a larger screen and much-improved battery life. That being said, one major flaw really dampens the experience. The lack of controller support makes this game unnecessarily cumbersome. The extra taps to select and confirm selections in menus clearly designed with a traditional game controller in mind make this game feel a little bit slower, and a lot more clumsy. If controller support were added, or if the user interface were better optimized for touch screen controls, this would easily be the definitive version of the game. As it stands, the PSP version is is a more enjoyable way to experience this game, even given the slowdown and hardware limitations of that version.

I gave this 3 stars because though I love this game, I am a bit disappointed I spent 15$ on this for my ipad, and unfortunately my ipad is now obselete and will not update to the newest OS. So I go to download this for my phone, and find out not only is this incompatible with my iphone, if I want to get it for my phone I have to spend 5 more dollars! Seriously??? I would appreciate an update to make this backwards compatible, I think it is crazy that I need to purchase this again after paying such a high price already.

I only gave this 3 stars because this is an awesome game.. on any other system besides IOS. This version deserves ZERO STARS. Whoever packaged this game to sell in its present state was out for a quick buck. While touching the screen does something; 9 times out of 10 it performs a different action than the one intended. This game is in no shape, way or form enjoyable on the iPad or iPhone unless you want to buy a controller. Although I haven't tested this out, so I wish you luck on that one. To get out of a menu you have to click it like 5-10 times. It's like a having a 3 year old child trying to grab your iPad and take it while trying to play this game. One mistake could mean you have to spend another 15-20min replaying a level again. Disappointing.

So this game is on App Store twice. One version got updated to work on any apple device running the correct iOS and the other, this one, got kind of screwed. I don’t know why they would release an all device version and a same priced but tablet locked version other than to rob people. I ended up having to buy that other version to play on iPhone but also installed it on iPad to side by side and the phone version got updated for the X and so subsequently looks much better on iPad as well, compared to the iPad specific version.
