Hello! Do not work on iPhone 14 Pro Max iOS 26.4.2. Fix it or give me back my money please .
- OleGO88 · v1.0.3
Enjoyable way to play the game. Decent touch controls and it plays smoothly overall. Only issues I’ve noticed is that FMVs are choppy (poor frame pacing, not because of them being 15fps. The frame pacing is fine on the PC port), and transparent text boxes are just darker instead of being transparent. Playing on iPhone Air. Neither is a huge deal or detracts from the experience for me. Thanks Square Enix!

Super bummed to open this on the latest iOS in 2026 for this game to not even be playable.
- Big Taste · v1.0.2
After the last update game won’t open and when it does it will stop every second and will kick you out of the game
- dark6151 · v1.0.2
The game stutters nonstop. Don’t waste your money on this.
- Point Breezer · v1.0.2
No sound asking for refund
- XJ Stryker · v1.0.2
Why is the app so poorly optimized? No reason why it should be overheating any modern phone it’s a remaster of a PS1 GAME??? All these complaints in the reviews and not a single update to fix any of them in over a year
- ZettaXIII · v1.0.2
Got a 2020 ipad. Either won’t run or lags and breaks. Please fix.
- dh4675 · v1.0.2
Buttons stick, and crashes, all before leaving the main menu.
- JeffM9999 · v1.0.2
I love this game very much to me. It has the best battle system. Best story lovable characters. Best of all I get to play on my iPhone
- ajaratu · v1.0.2
Completely useless in a smart phone. Like I’m actually going to keep this app open for 2 hours until I find another save point. Defeats the whole purpose of having it on a phone in the first place. Why are these not an obvious features?
- etryvubyinoim · v1.0.2
Try to add language Chinese.plz!
- dlc fail · v1.0.2
I want my money back. This piece of trash is unplayable, controls don’t move or respond. This is my fave FF game, and this hurts how bad it is. I couldn’t even get through the intro.
- please stop messin with me · v1.0.2
I’m playing on an i phone and don’t seem to be able to access the lower levels of the deep sea research center to fight ultimate weapon and get Eden gf. The save point didn’t seem to spawn after defeating Bahamian either. Is this a bug or what? The pillar you climb down never appears
- Rich 123445566 · v1.0.2
There’s a glitch when laguna meets Julia for the first time; the whole game freezes. :(
- Shay287 · v1.0.2
This game has a lot of customization and ways to play. The music and cutscenes are of high quality for its time. I would love to see an Anime based on this story!
- Pleas fix · v1.0.2
Sometimes my phone gets very hot while playing games. My phone is an iphone 14 plus. The ios version is 18.2.1. Why is my phone getting hot?
- Wintalker000 · v1.0.2
Why is this not full screen support or at the very least make it cover 70 percent of the screen it cover a third of the screen that is unacceptable
- Hgjknb · v1.0.2
Won’t even open past the opening screen
- GrL Pony · v1.0.2
Card game never loads,tried many saves
- Tim moody $$$ · v1.0.2
One time I had them saved in thru backbone control how to merge game data from iOS to psp/ps5 controller
- MjediMatrix · v1.0.2
Not sure what’s happening. iPhone 13 and phones updated but it won’t get past first loading screen.
- Blankchicjen · v1.0.2
I dig
- Lux.33 · v1.0.2
No complaints. None. Just a total blast and great story. Sure some people don’t like the nature of Ff8’s gameplay. It’s so unique, clever, yes you can exploit it… the risks they took, the story they told, the artwork they made, the music they composed… it’s just beautiful.
- reidaawggggg · v1.0.2
Seems great so far, enjoying a classic.
- Bit user · v1.0.2
Thought there was a bug in the game at Rinoa’s house but it was a user error. My apologies. Can finally continue the game :)
- NuMarzz · v1.0.2
I would love to tell you about the gameplay, however despite the familiar gorgeous graphics in the opening there was no sound. 😫 Cmon man.
- Truth_teller_Jaye · v1.0.2
I’m on IPhone XR
- FusionSlayer239 · v1.0.2
Lovi it love it love it I give it a 4.8 stars. One question though is if I wanted to start over from scratch how do I erase the saves from memory
- idiotdave · v1.0.2
No sound on iPhone 14 Pro Max running 17.4.1
- Mikey03738 · v1.0.2
Great news that this was updated to work again with recent iOS released. Bad news is the sound seems to have some sort of delayed distortions so it sounds horrible.
- rtn5000 · v1.0.2
I have multiple devices - and the game will not launch on any of them. Tried contacting support, but they are worse than useless. They ask a question….i answer. They ask another….i answer. They ask another (all over messaging, so days go by between communications)…… Extra sad given that I play several games from these folks without issues. This one - and the team working on it - absolutely the worst.
- rebitzman · v1.0.2
Spent money on one of my favorite games and I could not play it for over a month but you guys finally did an update and now it works great. Thanks Square Enix.
- Bryan1919 · v1.0.2
Honestly the gameplay is trash, but the music and aesthetics are worth it. Gorgeous game.
- Quinn Diane Thereaux · v1.0.2
I’m glad to see that the app received a relatively quick update after it stopped working with iOS 17.2 and above. It now works great. If you have a controller, this is (to me) a five-star game, but the touch controls are just a bit awkward to me. FFVIII is a great game - one of the best in the series in my opinion, and being available for mobile is amazing to me. Thanks for the update, so I can keep playing.
- gmorris7897 · v1.0.2
If you have a phone with recent technology, you can’t play it.
- Pyrojes · v1.0.1
Reinstalled multiple times but game won’t go past square Enix Update: still not working.
- watch out dont invest!!!!! · v1.0.1
I’ve been having issues getting this game to work on my iphone xr. Once i get past the main menu, the game doesn’t start. It’s just stuck in a black screen. Wish the developers would send out an update to fix this problem.
- Frank da tank1510 · v1.0.1
To everyone having a problem playing this title — the issue appears to be with the cloud save server. The game tries to connect to it and then fails. And it doesn’t take failing to connect to the server gracefully. You do not need to enable airplane mode to play this game, unlike what other reviewers have said. Instead you just need to disable Internet access. So you can still use bluetooth controllers if you want! More than likely it is a server certificate or network protocol issue that cropped up with the 17.2 update. I am certain that all Sony needs to do is push a small update for the app, or possibly even just upgrade the server.
- adein2011 · v1.0.1
welp…. why is this even in the app store.
- Inkaswells · v1.0.1
Please please update this app or fix the bugs. Can’t get past the start title screen. As soon as it opens I get a black screen. This happens regardless if I’m connected to WiFi or have background apps on. Guessing that iOS updates just broke this game. Extremely sad, because I love this game. Very unhappy with this……
- deskslaya · v1.0.1
I have played quite a bit of the ff games and I figured I’d buy this one I love it except for the frame rate . That’s my only issue with it, if you’re offline it loads perfectly and runs perfectly but the moment you get back online it automatically runs slow and loads everything slower. If this could get fixed in an update soon that’d be great
- xhall9520 · v1.0.1
The game does not work properly on my iPad Pro. Everything is substantially slower (like it's in slow motion), sound doesn't work, controller support no longer works. I really hoped to keep playing until the end, I hope it gets resolved.
- Marco_bup · v1.0.1
Game opens, but the screen just stays black. Tried reinstalling several times, also tried running in “airplane mode” nothing has worked. Please fix.
- jtgamey · v1.0.1
iPhone 15 IOS 17.3 The game was working but now it won’t load beyond the initial loading screen. When you tap to start it goes straight to black.
- stormls200 · v1.0.1
I have an IPhone 15 Pro Max and the app doesn’t work anymore. It has a hard time loading and when it does, it lags a lot! (Like less than a frame per second) It worked fine on the IPhone 12 Pro Max, but haven’t been able to play it since.
- ccook42 · v1.0.1
Need my refund or fix this
- Mikan326 · v1.0.1
Game won’t start. Common square. Be better than this. iPhone 15 pro max
- Katokato1982 · v1.0.1
Game is taking awhile to load… lagging to no sound, and game freezes before beginning cutscene can begin…
- Key of Light · v1.0.1
I havent seen this game in decades, not sure if Ive ever even finished it. The mechanics made for iphone work flawlessly. The story for this game is memorable, and actually makes you want to play through. The card game is fun in its own. The efforts into the art direction and story from this game make it unique in its franchise. And as always the music is perfect. Update: starting 12/2023 this game isnt working. Itll hang and stutter. It seems when you go back to ios home screen and reopen the running app itll work until game center signs in again. Then itll start skipping frames and sound will cut out.
