Upgraded to a new device and lost everything, because save data can't be transferred. Something should have been done about this already, but clearly there won't be after this much time has passed. Great game. Great port. But losing everything when changing devices is a thing of the past.. just not for this game. It pains me to give a 5☆ deserving game a low app rating for that.
Reviews for FINAL FANTASY TACTICS : WotL
Excellent modern version of this game. From someone who still has the original PSX game, I can say this definitely brought back nice memories. Some of the text has changed, for instance: Ramza's initial skill, 'Guts' has been renamed 'Mettle'. Most of the other skill trees have been renamed as well, I imagine. The game runs a lot faster and smoother than on the PlayStation, and the cutscenes in-between are a welcome addition. Also, the ability to skip the 'long and grueling text over still images' cutscenes, and any dialogues at all is also fantastic, as I'm sure I will be playing this game over and over. All in all, a great throwback to one of my favorite games in the FF universe. If you played it then, play it now!
Hands down, my favorite FF game of the franchise, also one of my favorite games of all time. Unfortunately the mobile port doesn't work well with android phones. I repeatedly lost chunks of game data when my play was interrupted from phone calls or when my phone switches into battery saver mode. Game requires constant attention to the save function, but it is one of the greatest games of all time. TL;DR Great game, app can't be interrupted.
Fantastic game. The original Tactics has always had a special place in my hear from the start, with the re-release of WotL, I fell in love again. The story is fantastic, the gameplay is marvelous. The only issue I have with the mobile version is, and I'm sure I'm echoing this, the lack of controller support. If this was playable with a controller, it'd be 5/5. As well, and this could be my phone, it seems a little too exited to press some buttons sometimes.
I love being able to play FFT on my phone, on the go. Recommend this to anyone who likes the original. I read reviews complaining about touch controls, but I think it's great considering the limitations of a touchscreen. Sometimes I accidentally select something I didn't mean to but it's not a big deal, you can undo in most cases. Confirming things just by tapping the screen was a good design choice. Only complaint is auto-save doesn't always get recent changes but you can just load save data.
I give it 5* simply for the fact I can play it on my ph. I truly love this game. It was this, and Legends of Dragoons. Story is good and fairly complex. Speed running this game, is amazing. Overall, this port is very good. Just save often. The only bug I've found is with the switching of apps. If you don't switch back within 3 minutes (it can range from 2-5 depending on the phone). The game will black screen and be restarted at your last save. The online support and resources are unreal. 9.8/10.
I just got the game. I figured out the save issues. When you go to load, it says it was paused and to continue. Say cancel and go into your last actual save file. If you don't do this and continue from a paused moment, that could be before a recent save and you will lose progress. Ever since I figured this out, no other issues. Unless it crashed before your save, then maybe say yes. I are smart. Lol. Great game!
The original game is my absolute favorite game from my childhood. Bringing it to my phone when all other ways of playing it again have failed is truly a blessing, and with quality of life changes to boot. The new dialog is weird, like a mix of Shakespeare and some other kind of proper old English. If I read "Mayhap" again I might lose it. But the good thing is you can skip all the dialog if you dont like it. 10 out of 10 would train to 99 without leaving the first chapter.
I loved this game as a kid and have played it many times as an adult. I purchased it on Android because I knew I'd love it. I love the updated translations and better controls and the cutscenes. But after the first prequel battle (the second of the entire game), I saved and quit, and now the game won't even begin to load. It freezes on that opening blue-grayish screen. Please fix. EDIT; Game WILL run on wifi only now but my data was completely lost. Very disappointed.
Edit: 7 years later and still no cloud save, people still have crashing issues and save/resume feature leaves a lot to be desired. Biggest feature we need is cloud save! The amount of time put into this game means I need to transfer my save to a new phone This is by far one of my favorite games of all time. Too bad I can't really enjoy it when it crashes all the time making me do things over. Battles are not short! Please patch this game and while you're at it support immersive mode. Thanks.
