Passable RPG, but mostly asset reuse from FF4. You'll spend 27 hours running through the same dungeons 7 or 8 times with very few interesting or original plot points. The final chapters are very good though.

The game itself is good as a DLC for FFIV. Nothing less, nothing more. But the lack of cloud saving is ridiculous. Fix that ASAP! I want to play in my tablet and phone. Also, I dont wanna lose my progress when I buy a new phone.

I just bought the app wishing to play this jewl from my childhood... but after installing and opening it. a black screen informing this app is for an older Android OS and that it wont work on my device prompted me to the app store to search an update or refund the game....since there was no update I choose the refund. it seems weird though since the ff1,2,3 and 5 apps I already have never showed me this window. hope they fix it

Rushed job they did. So IV had voice actors and like all F.F. games there's prevention from grinding on low level enemy's due to the lack of experience received well the low level goblins just gave me right under 500 experience while being level 20 something... plus my other party member I think is close to 30 like they were doing 1 damage no way should I have gained that much exp. But the story this far has me intrigued. I'm only on the first story right now so guess I'll see.

No external/ 3rd party controllers ? I just can't do touch controls. I should be able to hook up a controller to this and play it that way. Would be 5 starts otherwise. I just can't overlook this. FFIV has this option why not the sequel? Please make controller support

Square Enix you are getting lazy, its been soo long since you updated the version. It could have become smoother with a little bit graphic upgrade. It been reflecting old version for soo long. Am a avid fan of all FF series been playing from FF1 till recent over and over again. Just saf d man....

It's a great game but I'm on kains tale now and on mist cliff while jumping rock to rock I just get stuck and can't do anything, I've tried reseting the whole chapter and nothing I keep getting stuck at the same spot. If you could fix that it's a awesome game otherwise the game can't be completed and stuck on kains tale.

*spoilers* Awesome follow up to final fantasy IV i couldn't stop playing it. The story was captivating and I like the remastered graphics. Sadly however there are some issues i encountered a soft lock during the lunar bahamut fight where after killing him his meteor killed me. His death animation played and i couldn't do anything but close and reopen the game. I also find the games lack of optional bosses disappointing as FFIV had 2 bosses you could fight during new game + this has none.

The only direct sequel to a Final Fantasy game that was ever done right. I do highly recommend this game to anyone who enjoys the classic FF games. 3 stars though because no cloud save on a mobile RPG, cameo bosses were cut, and post-game challenges were cut, but then 4 stars again because the Bands system was VASTLY, VASTLY improved.

Man this is worth 15 bucks and then some really. I think this port was well done for the most part. If you factor in the hours of gameplay you will get out this it really is worth the click esp if you played the one that comes before this one and loved it. The ONLY reason you didnt get five stars is because my screen wont rotate at all when the game is playing and that is annoying.

Horrible balance. Some character groups are so bad that you have to grind to progress in the story. Some groups are so good that you breeze through their story. Story is eh, gameplay is brutal at times, graphics is eh, music is classic, too many characters and not enough development. Game feels nostalgia but the game is a shell of FF4.

There is a lot to like about the sequel to FFIV. The inclusion of Bands, the alterations of the moon changing the value of your tactics, the plethora of characters... however, playing this game just feels like a huge slog. Each of the character chapters revisit a lot of the same dungeons over and over - leading to a lot of repetition. The final dungeon in the final chapter is very similar to this, though somewhat mitigated by the bosses you get to fight. Nostalgia aside, this killed time only.

I was getting on the grind as you do with all ff games and then came the Mist Cliff. Which is a part of Kains Tale. Ceodore/the hooded man would randomly stop jumping up the smaller cliffs on to the larger ones. I have come to conclusion that it is a bug or glitch not yet resolved. I wouldn't recommend this version unless you want to find out the hard way for yourself.

I was really enjoying this until I encountered a game breaking glitch that means I now can't finish the game. During the Mist Cliff section of Kain's Tale the player character is supposed to jump up the cliff to progress but instead the character hops partway up and then stops which softlocks the game. Tried starting that tale over but the same thing happened again. This needs to be fixed in an update as the game is currently impossible to finish.

Please fix the soft lock glitch on the mist cliff section of Kain's tale so the game can be progressed through to the other chapters. Otherwise I will have no choice but to uninstall the game because it is unplayable at this point. It's a shame, too because I really enjoy this adaptation of final fantasy.

Love the game. very addicting. i am more partial to the retro Final Fantasy then the latest releases. No Cloud Saving (can even make it google drive i don't care) No support for Shield TV. I never did play on the wii this is my first jump in so i guess the missing cameo bosses and the challenge dungeons is a 3rd. Lack of response to issues 1 star.

Fantastic, nostalgic, and sufficiently challenging. Honors the original characters well while still managing to add depth to both story and gameplay. My main frustration was having missed things in earlier stories and not wanting to replay them for fear of losing progress in later stories, but that's just the completionist in me.

Graphics are good, and the phone doesn't get too hot after extended periods of play. UI elements feel good as well. The gameplay, on the other hand, is quite imbalanced. Some of the stories you can go through are no problems, but a few (the last one mainly) will require a decent amount of grinding for levels and items. The story gets schlocky multiple times, and it doesn't fully explain itself in certain situations. If you are an FF4 fan, you'll probably like it, but it's not a classic.

Quality graphics, classic music, overall great design, great additional features including the save. The one major flaw in the game. There are several pivotal points in the game that are impossible to replay. So if you finished Ceodore's story and missed an item, it is forever gone. The only way to get back is completely replay the section of the game then restart the Crystal story. That would require more than 20 hours to replay it back to where you were.

I wanted to love Final Fantasy IV: The After Years. However, it was just okay. It had some good nostalgia going for it, little attention to detail that call back to Final fantasy IV. The interface is alright. My main issue is that the Mist Cliffs in Kain's Tale keep glitching. I'll start jumping, then get stuck on a ledge, and sometimes the music stops. I've reloaded a dozen times and got stuck at different spots in the cliffs. Alas.
