FINAL FANTASY BRAVE EXVIUS Positive Reviews

Great gameI’ve played FFBE since launch way back in 2016, and it continues to be so much more than I thought a mobile gacha game could be. For people who like team building and taking on challenging bosses with a main story and plenty of Final Fantasy nostalgia baked in, this game is for you. They’ve done such a good job with character creation and development that some of the original characters can stand with the all time greats from the main series. And the story can be windy at times, but continues to hold your interest like a good fantasy novel. It’s really remarkable and fascinating how the game has evolved over the years, and somehow both the JP and Global dev teams continue to find new ways to keep the game interesting and fresh, with new mechanics opening up different strategies as the meta changes and evolves over time. Endless content for new players with all levels of difficulty so you can grow with your knowledge and skill and eventually catch up to the meta, and new end game challenges for veteran players to keep them engaged. Basically you can get enjoyment out of this game no matter how casual or serious of a player you are..Asm154Version: 7.10.0

Don’t Expect Help from Customer ServiceMake sure you save/write down your Player ID or Inquiry ID. I’ve played this game since 2018 and spent a lot of money on my account. I took some time away from Electronics and just deleted everything. Now that I came back, I realized that my account was linked to the FB I don’t have anymore. Under their “Help Tab” they say they can find it using several ways. Since I didn’t have my player ID I gave them as much of the information as I could. I even gave them transaction dates with amount and Order ID, which is something they literally ask for under the “help” section. Yeah…forget it…once you start talking to someone EVERYTHING on that tab gets thrown out and the only thing that matters to them is the player ID or Inquiry ID. You can have EVERYTHING they ask for but your Player ID and even give them specific transactions that you’d think would be linked to and identify the profile, but nope! They don’t care about all that, it gets ignored and ends up being about player ID. What’s the point of giving requirements if they don’t matter anyway? Maybe change the response to the “help” tab section for account recovery into “you want to come back? Well if you don’t have your player ID or Inquiry ID, we can’t help you”. There is literally no point in putting your “requirements” for the retrieval if you don’t care about actually using it..SSGRedReaperVersion: 6.6.1

Fantastic Free GameThis game is every bit as good as the Super Nintendo version I had as a kid, but instead of paying $50 for it, it’s completely free. Sure, you can spend money for the possibility of top tier characters, but there are still plenty of free chances to progress without spending cash. I easily completed the first two seasons without spending a dime, and I have some pretty cool characters. The storyline is very involved and many “trash” characters actually pop up in the cutscenes, making them far more valuable. There’s a decent array of weapons, armor, and spells, and you can craft some of each- but why bother? You find freebies along the way. I’ve also never had this game crash. I love this game and I can’t wait for the next chapter! Edit: Several years later… Season 3 was beyond terrible. Just a complete mess. Season 4 is great and has a decent cast of characters, but the game is now so bloated that it is impossible to maintain on a simple iPhone. Constant updates are needed. Also, many tasks now involve the same fight over and over again, just with varying intensity. Several key process have been changed as well, such as upgrading characters, isolating older players. I will likely uninstall after this season wraps up..JaydynomiteVersion: 7.9.0

Great but an Installation NightmareI played this game actively, obsessively from November 2016 until earlier this year in 2020. This game was a serious part of my life and for a long time I felt it deserved 5 stars. But the game becomes incredibly stale for gamers, every additional level. Also it becomes way overly complicated. But most importantly, my biggest dealbreaker is how often they’d update the game and I was forced to reinstall 2gigs of game many many many many times. The thing is that you MUST have the game open and watch a loading bar for 10-15 minutes. It breaks up your day, and i have gone multiple days not installing it because I’m just too tired or too busy to sit through a loading screen. The game simply got too big and it is a chore to maintain. There are SO many things in the game to try to check in on every day. At some point it feels like work. And the reinstallations were my dealbreaker. I actually reached a breaking point from it. It really helped me curb the addiction so ironically I think the game’s awful loading times helped free me from this obsession. That’s how bad it gets. And I just have zero interest in reinstalling. Thank you for the hundreds and hundreds of hours I got to waste away with small pleasures. RIPU (rest in peace uninstalled)..LauraneatoVersion: 5.0.0

Fun but FrustratingThe game itself is great. People complaining about having to pay to enjoy the game are either impatient or can’t control their impulse to buy. Strategy is just as important as top units. And that includes building out the units you have strategically and planning your teams. Some of the best units are limited, so of course you can’t expect to get them unless there’s a banner. Recently I was disappointed not to get a couple must-have, but limited banner units. Yet around the same time, I managed to pull Tidus and Aileen. Both rainbow units. I spent nothing. So why only 3 stars? I’m frustrated with GUMI’s quality control and how they’ve structured their updates. I’ll give them credit for trying to fix issues quickly. But why are there always so many? And the thing I hate most is the weekly maintenance. Too frequent and for too long. Do other games have to put up with this? I’ve played other mobile games, including a couple of other gacha games, and I’ve never experienced this before? Is it just me? I’m okay with a couple hours here and there. But seriously? After 10 hours of last night’s “maintenance”, they’ve extended it for further emergency maintenance until who knows when. This isn’t the first time. I suppose the upside is that we get lots of compensation gifts. 🙄.Satori_Version: 2.6.1

A Final Fantasy for Everyone!I’ve been playing this game since launch so I know what I’m saying when I say that this game lives up to the traditional idea of what a Final Fantasy game should be like at its core. I have had so much fun exploring the world of Lapis with Rain, Lasswell, Fina and their friends, and have had the most amazing time exploring the backstories for all the different unique character units in the game. Granted, the summon system might seem a little broken to people who lack the luck, money, or drive to grind for the free lapis/premium currency of the game, but if you don’t take the game too seriously and just have fun with it then you won’t care too much if you get a five-star base character with each and -EVERY- pull (like I know some people do). There are plenty of other characters in the game that can do what you need them to do, and you can always make friends with people who have the characters you want to test out. It’s a great game that any RPG fan should at least try once, if only for the epic story that just finished its first season recently! Come join the rest of us in the exciting world of Lapis, everyone!.Silver Orrin LuccioVersion: 2.4.1

Good game but....This is honestly a good game. It fills a lot of boredom gaps throughout the day. It’s also the one game I’ve played that makes me hate the Square Enix name. Banners are like impossible goals to some and part of me feels that Gumi pre-determines your character pool at the star of your game. If you have a favorite character that comes and goes, your chance of getting him/her are very very VERY slim unless your chosen to get it. The drop percentages mean nothing. For example... Cloud and Sephiroth comes out, everyone wants the naturally. You save up 50 tickets, countless 5 star or 10+1 guarantees, use them all over a period of a few days and not get either. However, you get 17 of the same other characters on the banner. Then what makes it worse, you do your daily arena burn and run across someone that was able to pull 5 cloud/sephiroths. The games dynamics are completely flawed for a fair balance and I think that’s hurt the fan base. For me, I tend to get tanks and mages, nothing else. If they can find a way to fix their biased system, it would be an amazing experience but honestly I’m tired of my rainbow pulls being the same 2-3 I already have, especially when you pull directly from an event banner. Come on Gumi/Square... you’re killing your fan base on a really good game....VaBchJayVersion: 2.8.0

InvigoratingThis app has its up and downs, but I can’t do it justice. The storyline seems bland and basic at first, however drawing you in. You’re given cliches that warp into a rollercoaster. There are sudden deaths, twists and turns, plot twists and hilarity in obscure places. The story wasn’t like a game, it was like reading a book, and I found myself constantly wanting to know more. Though childish at times, I loved it. Motivation is never lacking. There are always new units, new combos, new items, and new obstacles. You’re never held back by in app purchases. There are constantly new challenges and side quests, most weekends rooms to speed up your progress. I enjoyed the progression. Your given units get you far enough through the game to let time to get better units. The first three units when later worked on even become extremely valuable to your team. I’ve played this game forever, feels like a year, and I’ve only just beat the first season. Take your time, enjoy yourself. I sure as hell did..Conner F.Version: 2.3.1

Fantastic final fantasyMy first FF was 4 (what we called 2 here in US) when i was a child, i've been a life long fan since. but i haven't really liked any of the games past X and X2. this game finally gave me the old school traditional FF play that i remember from the old games. i truly think Brave Exvius is one i the best final fantasy games ever made, and by far the best in over 15 years. i have beloved characters from final fantasy 4, 6(my fav), 7, tactics, 9, and even X. it's like a dream team, and they keep making even more awesome characters. yes it can be very difficult at times to get characters you want, but there is plenty to keep you entertained day to day and before you know it you'll have some of your favs. plus you get to bring along a friend and they often have cool characters for you to use. because that's what the FF series has always been about, cool heroic characters. i've been playing for over two years now and i probably will for years to come..RolandflaggVersion: 3.8.9

Upon further review.. yeah, this game still gets 1*There is a good game in here, no doubt. However, the end game is really difficult unless you pull a couple of super strong units and the 1% rainbow rate and no guaranteed rainbow on a 10+1 makes it very difficult to get those units. The battles have to be done in a very precise manner or else you will lose. The story mode is mediocre. Side stories and story events do flesh out the characters somewhat, but it’s hard to get invested in the characters that get introduced without much development. Plus Jake and Lid have no chemistry, and Lid is 16 and Jake is 27 so please do not put them together. It’s creepy. As said above, the gacha is extremely unforgiving and is the main reason why I am keeping my rating at a 1*. If the rainbow rate can be 8-10% instead of 1%, and there would be a guaranteed rainbow on 10+1 pulls, it would certainly improve my rating and perhaps get me to spend money. It would make it a 4* at least, and moving some of the utterly useless 3* with really bad trust masteries to the friend summon pool would make it a 5* and would make the game worth reinstalling..Craig C. CraigVersion: 3.2.1

Hear me outBeen playing this game since the release of it I remember the grind and the heart strings this game pulled when I first played and watching the growth of lasswell and rain up until they became Kong’s has been one of the greatest adventures I’ve been on with a game and all in all it’s an amazing game I the story is amazing the development in characters and all it’s just outstandingly done now my only grip is the way the game devs have taken I remember when step up summons were actually genuinely step summons instead of starting from high and staying there it gets difficult to farm lapis unless there’s a constant event to give it or unless of course you buy it and even still the chances of getting better units compared to what they were have been died down entirely i won’t say it’s pay to play but it does feel like that’s the way this game is going and it’s not a good road from what it was I’m sad to see it as is maybe relook at things and go back to how they were make it the way that we as the players can feel the power spikes or if we use our lapis it be meaningful and all.MixxahVersion: 5.2.6

Top Gacha GameThis is my first review ever. I have played Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius since Launch. Since this game has came out, it has went from a disappointing game to an amazing one. The events in this game are great, its extremely F2P friendly, and while the rates arent that great (3% for a 5 star or rainbow as we in this community call it, and out of that 3%, its a 2% off banner rainbow, 1% on banner rainbow) most banners now have step up summons that guarentee a banner rainbow. The game is grindy, but it isnt horrible like other gatchas. The costumer support is fast to respond and quite fair (I accidently infused a rainbow, they gave me the unit back so I could prism it for a 7*). The story is in depth and it will draw you in, especially season 2. Events every week, log in rewards, special log in rewards. This game has everything you could want. If you are a fan of gacha or Final Fantasy, this game is for you. Btw Gumi, I am loving 7* Yuna. Thank you for fixng her and making her a meta unit again..GodOfSaiyansVersion: 3.3.3

Long time FF fan some issuesThe game is absolutely consuming, by far leveling up a 7 star team is the most strenuous part but once you do your power level explodes one character 7 stared character allows a player to go from noice to expert level bosses. Game is jam backed full of content with many quest, summons and “vortex” missions. The game is great my biggest gripe is the summon banners. Makes it very hard to summon characters you need/want and after a certain point summoning the same character multiple times becomes somewhat useless. But saving grace select summon tickets allowing you to pull a single character at the cost of 10 tickets and the new super trust moogle tickets allowing you to get the super trust master(STMR) for a character. Again great game just wish banners of old characters or banners of specific games would be promoted so there’s a greater chance of you locking down a 7 star team..C.g0nzalesVersion: 4.1.5

Fun, free, easy to grasp, challenging to masterI have so many 5, 6,and 7 Star units...probably around 100 for less than a year of playing, and I’ve never spent a penny. Drop rates are so extremely good that I can’t even even afford to level up half of the rare units I have. Almost all events have an easy, medium, hard, and advanced mode so no matter where you are in skill level, you can almost always participate. The main quest gives you so many opportunities for espers, and tons of Lapis(the rare in game currency you use to buy rare things)...and even though I’ve completed the main quest so far, and all the event quest in the last few months, there are still about 20-30 optional bosses that give great rewards and I haven’t figured out the strategy to beating yet. Plus every week-2 weeks is a new event that gives you rare items and equipment...very well done..DebwewinVersion: 3.2.0

I love the game but connection issues hold back 2*The connection issues are horrifying. My iPhone, iPad and kindle all experience significant connection issues. My wifi is very good and I can be sitting two feet from the modem, other wifi devices not in use/turned off, not on VPN or airplane mode and nothing running in the background and it doesn’t. The issues persist. For my kindle it is very frequent crashes to desktop or sudden connection issues followed by “please login”. For my apple devices it is connection issues followed by “please login” followed by please resync your device to your account. It happens so that I have actually missed story content and needed to watch a friend go through it to see what happened. It is worse on the apple devices but only just. My phone is updated but a little old but my iPad is not. It is new and completely updated as well. Fix these issues, which according to the forums and other comments are not something only I am experiencing, and this would be a 7* star game easy. ;).CyrusfyreVersion: 4.2.0

Love it, not perfect thoughThis game is great. All of the features and aspects of the game are a little overwhelming starting out (I'm a big FF fan, but have never played one of this style) but I mastered them eventually. I feel like some aspects of the game could have been designed better: Colosseum is stupid easy, Arena is stupid hard because of the limited way you have to select opponents (at first), and it's hard to orient oneself with the various materials available (little in-game documentation, in this regard). Also the dialogue can be rather sub-par (rather lame back and forks MN forths ). Overall great fun though. The plot itself is interesting and the gameplay is very well done. Well suited for mobile play. Fans of the genre will get a kick out of the throwback characters from what seems like EVERY FF series. Lastly, the pay-to-play doesn't get in the way, at least not yet for me and I feel like I'm doing quite well and have played almost every day for a week or two now..WoolooCorkyVersion: 2.2.3

Fun gameThis game has a lot of depth and as far as F2P vs. P2W debate goes I’d say this falls in the middle. You don’t NEED to spend money in order to advance and do well, however it’s going to be very slow going as you power creep your way up the ladder. All in all I really enjoy this game and the amount of depth involved in each character customization. What really frustrates is how slow they are getting out updates and something they need to address. They have weekly maintenance which I’m 100% on board with - lasts 6-8 hours or so - the problem is these Updates aren’t installed and they’re aware of the issue - in essence I’ve been unable to play the game for over 12 hours because it says new version please update but guess what there’s no new version on iTunes so they’re response is please try again later... no eta on when these patches are actually available. Weird and something you’d think shouldn’t be an issue for a top end gaming company..ChauntryVersion: 2.7.3

It’s time to let it outI love this game, don’t get me wrong-it has brought me so much nostalgia and joy with the interesting story and summon groups and skills. But it’s gown from happy to, well obviously, what the heck Gumi! Japan gets all this great compensation and everything like that, but also-the time we had a day to two day long down of servers, all we got was just 500 lapis and some energy, meanwhile with a half a day down while doing he update in JP, there’s a free multi. As well as I want this game to continue and go far, but you need to listen and do more for the community and game. I get it, you’re a game company and need money, but make it easier for people to catch up when they’re behind, and stop with the predatory bundles-because those are draining the money that you get quicker when you release them over and over. Over all though, for people reading this, this game is good imo, but it has fallen from grace I feel. Now 5 star pulls are like ‘oh, I hope they’re in the meta or they’re a good damage dealer’ and back in the day it was ‘awesome, I got Noct’, so Gumi please listen to the community and fix your problem, give us more content and no more repeat events, because no one cares about those anymore, and maybe make less limited time banners and events because that is also something that makes it hard to continue playing with no good units really staying. I want the game to stay, but also make it where you help the community.TheFF_fanVersion: 3.4.3

Fun but frustratingWhile this game seems to be a great mix old school rpg and newer mobile game play, there is one main complaint that I want to put out there. The friends system, the game limits you to 25-30 friends if you can find them! I’ve been playing for over a month and only have 3 friends because everyone else has hit their limits! This wouldn’t be so bad if there wasn’t the daily quests of ‘send gifts to 5 friends.’ Then to add insult to injury, you go to friends>find which shows you a list of ppl, all well and good, find new friends, right? Wrong, it shows you a list of people THAT HAVE HIT THEIR LIMIT ALREADY. What good is that? I don’t know if it’s because I’m not on FB or what, but I’ve also never seen a place to accept a friend request, I’ve sent plenty but not once have I seen where to accept or decline them, and trust me I’ve looked. Outside of that buggy friends system I’ve enjoyed the rest of gameplay between the main world, vortex, arena, etc all. Proud FF fanatic since ‘97!.BPDragonVersion: 3.6.3

Thank You SE for such a great game!I have been playing this game since it first came out and after playing this long I just felt like I HAD to write this review so that... 1) anyone thinking about downloading this game can read this and see some of my favorite things this game has to offer in hopes that even more people will download, enjoy, and support this brilliant game And... 2) I could say thank you to Square Enix for giving all of us mobile users a game that really lives up to the Final Fantasy standard. The hard work you have put into this game has not only made this the best mobile RPG, but one of the most satisfying and enjoyable games, in general, that I have played in years. If you have not played this game then download it and play it. It is kept fresh with frequent and fun updates and between the ever-growing list of characters to unlock and level up. There will almost always be something to do in this game. Also this game has arena, which is a PVP-like experience where you can test your hard work against other player’s best teams. I could go on and on, but just download it now and play it. Don’t forget to share and spread the word too. I want this game to continue to grow and prosper. The hard work and dedication that has been put into this game deserves it.NOLUIBEI?!?!Version: 2.8.0

Decent gameI've been playing this for over a year. It's a gotcha game. You know when you start playing any mobile game, you have to pay to be the best. With that being said I've spent roughly 800 in a year and I'm pretty happy with what I have in the game. My buddy has played just as long as me and only spent 20 bucks. He has just a few less rainbow summons then me. What I am writing about is the fact you don't have to spend money on this game to compete. This is a f2p friendly game , with weekly updates and challenging content that isn't impossible to complete. Only downfall off the game is customer support. They are very slow with a response and offer very little help. If you play longterm, make sure you link it to a Facebook account even if you have to make a bs Facebook account to login with so you don't lose your progress....TecreaubiontVersion: 2.2.3

SQUARE ENIX PLEASE READI got the game and loved it but unfortunately after playing an hour or so I left the game for a couple minutes then I came back and now it won’t let me hit the back button or go to previous quests. Before I left the app I had four units in my party ( because I wanted to level them up so they could be the same level as my other unit). Then it wouldn’t let me tap on my units in my party nor let me put another one in my party ( because I only had four in and I wanted to put one more in to make the full team of five). Also my units are now invincible and will stay at one hp and never die. This led me to being stuck in a battle with Sheratan my units can only damage it to 99% and will stay at one hp. Normally my units most likely die and I’d lose. It also doesn’t let me give up/flee. So now I’m stuck with Sheratan for eternity. I sent in an inquiry, and the support team is slow to write back..GamerRater9000Version: 2.5.1

Download HellI REALLY love this game. It's nostalgia with a new twist with frequent updates. But therein lies the problem. Literally every time I log in to the game, there is either down time or an update or five. I cannot play the game on the fly because there is always 5 min to an hour worth of updates; even when I just updated. Seriously? You don't need a 2GB patch every time someone farts. "Sorry we are down for extended maintenance. We decided Noctis' farts should smell like strawberries instead of roses." The updates are so frequent that I spend more time downloading than actually playing. People that play mobile games are usually playing on a break or in between real life events. Update: I'm not sure if this is intended, but every time I start the game, I am met with a 2MB download followed by a ~90MB download then a 2GB download. It almost seems to not retain the fact that I have already downloaded it..VermicianVersion: 4.0.6

New reviewAfter playing it for a little while longer I’ve developed a few tips for starting this game. Be patient, be patient patient patient, even if you don’t get the unit you want, you can always try again. Don’t hope for units either, blowing all your lapis on one spawn can be devastating in the long run. Try to build off of the units you already have and you’ll see a lot more success long term wise. And they come out with biweekly events, so don’t worry about getting bored. There’s only one flaw in this game in my opinion, and it isn’t bugs, it isn’t spawns, it’s the NRG system. If this system did not exist I would be playing 24/7, and spending money too. But the fact that I get to play for like 5 minutes tops then have to hop off is the most tedious thing ever. 3 stars is appropriate if there was an NRG system buff (make a faster recharge system) or just removing it, this game would be my favorite mobile game of all time, Easy fix. C’mon Square Enix..On my motherVersion: 4.1.6

What to expect as a non or low spenderNobody likes the hero summoner model but let me say that FFBE does well to give non/low spending players ways to get to end game. In comparison to Fire Emblem: Heroes, FFBE and games like it, FFBE gives players more access to resources and summons in the form of events and ticket summons. I’ve been playing for a few months now and I do feel like the paywall is not absolute. At first it was discouraging to look at various tier lists and seeing all the S tier units that are either impossible to get (for example Ang whose event has come and gone) and the units that are only 5 star summons at the very peak. But you don’t need those units to attempt the end game content. In fact, the only top tier character I have is CG Nichol from his recent banner. With patience and luck you can steadily improve your team without feeling you’ve wasted the time and resources on characters you’ve replaced on your main party. You need high level characters to do expeditions (idle farming quests that give access to other resources to further progression). In the end it’s another hero summoner, but the content is engaging and fun at every stage of the progression. New events and content is constantly being added and the community on the forums is very helpful..CFL192Version: 2.8.1

Fun but not at the same timeHello I myself am a new player. It’s fun and addicting but it’s rare to get the characters I want and I have to spend money to get more lapis(I have not spent money yet). My dad introduced me to this game a few years ago but I never got into it. So I started playing it a week ago. My dad has been playing since it first came out but quit 2 years ago. He quit because they kept coming out with revamped characters, he was max lvl and had all the good characters, and he maxed out everything, plus all the people he followed quit. It’s sad to see the FFBE community slowly dwindle down to a hollow shell. So ffbe makers if you read this can you pls make characters more rollable and can you make it overall more enjoyable for the old players who played the game and quit a long time ago. Thanks for this fun game and have a nice day.Sharkyboy02Version: 7.0.0

Please help meI was fighting the illusion of Sheratan and she couldn’t take away my 1 hp. I also couldn’t deal any damage. I couldn’t escape the battle, so I deleted it and reinstalled it. But it still stayed on the Sheratan battle even though everything should’ve been cleared. So then I reentered the app and got to the title screen, but it wouldn’t respond to my fingers. I cleared it and reentered again but the same thing is happening. I would actually rate it 5 stars because this game is amazing, but it’s because of this weird glitch or something that I can’t even play the game. But it could just be my phone. I think lots of people should play this. I’m just seeking help because it’s a shame I can’t even complete what was my favorite FF game so far. Edit: yay it was fixed and now I have over 3million Gil Winner Winner Chicken Dinner.SephywafflesVersion: 3.0.2

Was a nice little nostalgia tripI dunno about this season this I’ve enjoyed playing sense the global launch but this season...I’m not sure where they’re going. Season 3 story is a low point to me the supporting characters are far more interesting then Fina it’s like the writers dumped every trope into her. Uncertainty✔️ Friendship is Magic✔️ Whiny✔️ Damsel in Distress✔️ Power Outage✔️ Which all these wouldn’t be bad but they addressed this in season 1 &2 and just takes away from Fina as a character. Then there’s the Neo Visions you gotta have both of a character’s trust and super trust rewards to awaken then they allow you to pull a Neo Vision that doesn’t have trust master unlocked which breaks the conditions to get a Neo vision and not to mention you gotta pour 5 star units into the Neo Vision unit which have a low pull rate but I have had pretty good luck getting 5 stars but relying solely RNG to max out NV Unit is just stupid. Last thing is Dark Visions which is just roided out damage sponge espers with ridiculous stats that are meant to drain in unprepared players of your stocked piled lapis which takes away from any real effort, you can just stack your party with DPS and throw them at the boss until you run out of lapis. I really liked this game when it first came out the sprites reminded me of Secret of Mana and Chrono Trigger but I’m not sure where they’re really going this season. Hope they figure it out..DJ puddintimeVersion: 5.1.0

Yes yes yes!I don’t write reviews for mobile games because I don’t normally play them that long to have the urge to write one. I have been playing FFBE for over a year now (off and on). It’s off and on because I get really addicted to it, to the point I have to put it down for awhile before it consumes me. Then later on I will open it up and get addicted all over again. The story mode is very generic in its plot mechanics, but that didn’t stop me from enjoying the story especially now that most of the questions are getting answers. This game does have all the elements of a real FF game, even the videos are just as sharp, though not many and mostly summons, but now they are introducing limit breaks with the same kind of video. I recommend this game to any FF fan and even to those who like a good old fashion turn base RPG..Captn B.LuckVersion: 2.6.0

Best Game, but.....This is one of the best games I’ve ever played, but I play this on 3 devices, and I sometimes want to trade my units to my other accounts. That led me here to ask you, Square Enix/FFBE team; can you make a way to trade units? There can be a limit to how much you can use it, like once a week, once every other week, or once a month, and you could put the unit back to base star and level 1, because I think it would be too overpowered to trade a unit at level 100.......... Maybe you could have the person take off all equipment and materia before trading. Also, I know too much about gaming to know people spam bad units when trading, so maybe put a notification of a request to trade and what unit they want to trade and what for. If you could do that, I would love that, but either way, Best. Game. Ever..O()::::::::::>Version: 3.0.2

Solid Game but drop rates are BSThe game itself is solid and challenging, but the drop rates themselves are absolutely horrible. While the drop rate to get a 5 star character is not bad, there a definitely rates within the 5 star pool that are geared to the much weaker characters. I cannot tell you how many duplicate 5 stars I have of less than optimal characters while still desperately hoping for those BIS characters. It’s really frustrating to know that every time a good pull comes up, the deck is stacked against you to get a great character. The only real hope was the character specific banners, and even then now they have a 2 5 star characters on each banner, and 1 is very much inferior, so you run the same issues. All in all, if you are F2P you don’t have much to complain about, but if you are a Dolphin or Whale, there much more satisfying games to spend your money on where the rolls are better suited in your favor..TAJusticeVersion: 2.7.1

Very good butIf your a super sore loser of can't control yourself around money don't play the game because it's incredibly fun but gives lots of chances to throw money away and it's unlikely to get what you want. The only way to play the game is just to work with what you get and have fun..CalebassasinVersion: 3.4.5

EnjoyableI truly love the game and it has very good depths. But the randomness of getting characters with the low chances at times will probably turn away many people..DelsornVersion: 2.2.3

Fantastic gameI just wanted to start of by saying that this is the best mobile game I have ever come across in my opinion and by far the most professionally done. To give context as to how good this game is. I was going through the main storyline and skipping all the text just so I could farm up materials and xp. However I found myself completely pulled in by the little cutscenes that I couldn’t not read the storyline no mater how bad I wanted that 7 star character. In the end the story is fantastic and the gameplay is amazing. So many characters to get and so much Nostalgia if you have played any other FF game due to so many characters from other FF games being in here. There are even collaboration characters such as ones from Nier and other popular games/ anime. Also to anyone who says you can’t get good at this game without spending money; you are very wrong. I am very late game and can fight against most top tier bosses with ease and I haven’t spent a single dime on this game. 11/10.DesoberVersion: 3.5.0

Pretty Good but Getting WorseNew units are extremely boring and take way too much to unlock their potential, but apart from that it’s pretty good. Have been playing since the 6* era, and it’s retained my attention since then. Story is good for the most part, which is rare for a gacha game. There are some cringey moments but it’s enjoyable overall. My main gripe is the new Neo Visions which typically have 4-6 abilities split between two forms. It’s incredibly boring and you need like 3 copies of one unit for it to become usable. Stick with 7* for as long as you can..TheLocatVersion: 6.4.0

Solid game, howeverI like the game and very much love Final Fantasy, but it needs some sort of feature to skip turns of characters (overpowered friend characters when I’m trying to complete quests) as well as not offering “add as friend” to people who already are maxed on friends. Would also like to be able to view character stories easier. I recall there being the feature a few years ago, but now I can’t find it when I view a character..OnevesXIVVersion: 4.2.6

Fantastic Story and Events but Poorly ManagedThe game itself is a hallmark of Final Fantasy storytelling, on par with mainline titles. There are a variety of different game modes and fun events. The game itself remains poorly managed by Gumi with inconsistent/unfocused patching that is not aimed at improving user experience..IsenoryaVersion: 5.0.1

Greatest game everIve been playing this game since june 2016, I would never had believe how serious this will become. A bit frustating the first month (3 rainbows in 6 months) ! But now I got more than 300 rainbows, since the 7* units this game is totally different. Its a long road if you start now, but it’s worth. I put a little bit of money from time to time but it’s totally optional and you can play & be really competitve without $, and Gumi are very generous, they give you so much great freestuff all the time, best mobile game by far.MauvAdasVersion: 4.2.6

Takes your timeI spent 100 HOURS on a mobile game TBH it’s a good game but it makes you addicted to it and I know a lot of people who spent hundreds of dollars but I didn’t spend a cent and I have on of the strongest units in the game you just have to wait for the perfect moment to spend your resources or you will lose a fortune like my friends.It has a tiny small little flaw and it’s the downloads it’s 3.5 GB.Mr thinckyVersion: 4.2.1

Great Game HoweverIt’s a real Final Fantasy adventure, seemingly endless. A large crop of new and old characters from all Final Fantasy games. The one main downside to this game, as of current, is the fact that there are sooo many updates. Daily updates, sometimes twice in a day. I woke up one morning to update the game and after that didn’t want to play it because of how long it took... Then later that afternoon I went to play it because I had gotten the update done and you guessed it!... there is another update... that take just as long if not longer then the one from the morning....AnthimVersion: 4.1.6

FINAL FANTASY BRAVE EXVIUS Negative Reviews

Long time player - UnhappyI have been playing this game for two years. Though the game is inherently good, the company running it has been slowly eroding the confidence I, and others, have in this game. Of course the main premise of this game is gacha. A new system implemented about a month ago requires two copies of the same rare unit to evolve it to its strongest level (7*). In order to offset for the much lower likelihood of pulling two units, the Japanese origin of this game implemented a “unit of choice” summon. This allowed all 5 star base (e.g. rare) units to be pulled after collecting 10 tickets. In the Japanese version of this game, you can get two per mog event (monthly event). Global a first version of this only allows 1 ticket to be summoned. This essentially makes a unit of choice unit obtainable every YEAR rather than half a year. And then the truncated the pool from ALL 5 star units to only the select few that can be upgraded to 7 star. What if the player wants a specific unit for nostalgia, team composition, or their trust mastery? That coupled with very stingy daily log in rewards, poor communication, and various bugs (some even known from the first content roll out in the Japanese version) are causing me to write this review. I’ve been playing daily for about two years, unless things drastically change for the better my time with this game will end. Strongly consider before downloading and investing in this game..W4rbaconVersion: 3.1.0

Keeps CrashingI have been playing this game for almost 2 - 3 years now , and ever since i have loaded this game on my ipad it has been probably one of the worst experiences i have ever had with a game. This is unacceptable performance , and I know its not just my ipad , i have a 6th gen 9.7 ipad 32 gig internal brand new , fully updated no apps running in background , and I do not use a vpn. Every now and then I would get crashing as in the app completely closing out when I’m in the middle of doing something and have to load back in , but since currant updates on the ffbe app It’s practically every few minutes of playing , its constantly going back to the home screen and have to load back into the app. This is a problem that 1000’s of people are experiencing , all you have to do is read the forums so I know its the app since it doesn’t do it with any other game or app on my device ! I am getting very frustrated with the development of this game especially since i really do like it and have invested my own money to support the staff in keeping this game going for as long as it has. Please fix this problem because if it keeps up I probably will lose faith in this company and never play this game again ! ( as of now i am giving this game 2 stars until its updated properly to work with iOS efficiently ).Daygoman8Version: 3.6.0

Always at least a little broken... now unplayableI don't know what they did to this game in its latest update (it looks as if the new onboarding UI broke everything), but all the scrolling options on the home screen other than World (which crashes the game when you tap it) are titled ??? instead of Craft/Esper/Vortex/Colosseum, and are disabled. Practically all you can do now is buy and spend the game's premium currency. Quests also send you straight back to the home screen. Even deleting the app and reinstalling it on my iPhone, then logging back in to my Facebook account, won't fix it. After two absurd Ariana Grande events which have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with Final Fantasy, a 1% 5* base drop rate that doesn't even guarantee getting characters that are any good (many of the best are 4* base) and literally getting the same crappy character during each daily free pull seven days in a row, finding out they can't secure their admin tools, and watching people create brand new accounts and easily pull better characters than accounts that have been around since day one, it really feels as if I should just delete the app again and leave it that way. If you want an RPG with Final Fantasy characters in it, play Record Keeper instead. Even if they resolve all the interface problems, Brave Exvius can't be fixed..CryltaurVersion: 2.3.0

I really have to say itThis game is the only game that ive played regularly on mobile and im lvl 135 now. But after a year playing it theres only one thing that (for me) never change since the first time im playing it; a really, really, really, bad server. Its really hard for only just accessing into the game, especially when the game want to download the dlc after the maintenance, the “error” thing showed up after finishing download that makes the game have to redownload the dlc all over again, even tho the same thing, same error, happened again. the problem here but why sometimes the game just go straight error after finish downloading the dlc when im using the wifi? I know my wifi is not the fastest but at least its more stable than my phone internet. You said it yourself that “using wifi connection is recommended” but why when im using my mobile data even only with the 3g connection the download just fine with no single error at all????? I mean why i have to waste my internet data when i got more stable connection like wifi??????? Keeps experiencing this after the maintenance just makes me so frustrated, i just want to play the game is that so hard to do? Hope things get better in the future or believe me you wont be able to attract new user with server like this..Taylor's bffVersion: 2.8.1

Enough Is EnoughThis game used to be great. But look at the differences between the JP version and the GL version. Gumi took away half the Unit of Choice tickets you could earn in a Mog King event, delayed the 7* updates, botched out Unit of Choice tickets in the September Login Rewards, ONLY HALF OF THE 7* BATCHES IN GL THAN IN JP, reduced ticket rewards per month to force players into whaling more, constant step up banners that don’t even have good rates on the units one would want most, changing the 10+1 ticket rewards to a 5+1 ticket, put more emphasis on EX tickets than standard tickets we could use on ANY BANNER WE WANTED TO, whereas EX tickets only work from a pool of standard units instead of new banners, hotfixing bugs that benefit the players and “apologizing for the inconvenience” within a few hours and almost completely ignoring the actual bugs that inconvenience the players for a few weeks, terrible bundles, a huge lack of communication... It just feels like Gumi is intentionally ruining the game by having the JP version gain much more benefits compared to the GL version. The greed is clear as day, and I’m simply disappointed. This list doesn’t even contain half the main issues of what Gumi’s doing to the game... If you play this game, don’t whale on it. Just send the message, since Gumi is flipping the bird on its own player base..OsamaBeenLagging the MagikarpVersion: 3.1.0

Bugs and game crashes constantly..I am a long time FFBE fan since the first day the game was released and I have enjoyed every moment of it until December. The game began to be buggy, slow, and constant game crashes. My device is an iPhone 6+ with plenty of memory to spare and I close other apps running in the background so my cpu is free for FFBE. I had to reinstall the game several time from scratch and using their recommended install procedures if one were to log in using Facebook. It was a long process that became annoying when I have to do it each update. I had FFBE on my iPad but even with the most current IOS.. the game would crash after attempting to start. Please fix these bugs!!! Why focus on visuals to correctly display in game purchase prices when the game doesn’t even run without the possibility of the game glitching and crashing due to conflicting data. I know others share this experience on reddit and other platforms and I am not the only one and it’s been 3 months since December. The game overall is fun but the chance for rolls on a unit that you want is horrible. Be prepared to milk almost everything you have to draw something worth even using.. tired of drawing units from friend point banners using tickets/gems.... Regards, One sad ffbe fan...EvilBunBunnVersion: 3.4.3

Good game being ruined by greedy companyThis is normally a pretty good, fun gacha game. The gameplay is like an older final fantasy title and there is a lot of content to work your way through. However, recently a system to get even stronger units was released, and to do it you need two copies of the same max rarity unit. This wouldn’t necessarily be a problem, since the Japanese version of this game became much more generous with ways to get 5 stars in general and even made a system that lets you choose a specific 5 star to get every few months. This version instead reacted by becoming even stingier with 5 stars. The monthly login rewards have actually gotten worse since January-March, and the unit-of-choice system is being neutered. Instead of being able to pick any 5 star every 2-3 months, even if they’re brand new, this game only lets you pick from a small pool of 5 stars where new units are only added weeks after they became available. If the current pace continues, you would only be able to pick a unit every 6 months, which is absurdly slow. I really hope that Gumi will turn their policies around because this is a very fun game, but until they do I’m not going to spend any more money on it and would not recommend starting to play..OorochiVersion: 3.1.0

I got stuck in arena battleThe game is great and i love playing it. Keeps me busy and there are areas you can farm if you have the time, but thats only if you dont want to pay. The game is great. However it crashes allot, ever since the new update something just happened to the game. So i ended up deleting the game and reinstalling to fix the home screen from crashing and now im in another situation where i am stuck in a arena battle and i cant escape it as it keeps crashing when i play it, if i click on menu it crashes and even when i delete and reinstall back the game my saved facebook data has me trapped in this loop. It continues to put me back at the start of the arena battle and i can never get pass the 6 round before it crashes again and i cant cancel the match because menu also crashes when i select it. So it killed the game for me. It was great while it lasted but for anyone that plays, i would avoid arena battles until they get the glitch fixed, great game but the constant crashing is whats killing the game. Would give it a four star rating but because i cant play anymore seeing that im stuck in the arena battle i give it two stars..Dop88Version: 2.3.1

BE AWARE!!!! READ FIRST!!So I have had this game ever since it came out(6-7 years) playing pretty religiously, and loved every minute of it. A definente 5 star game at the time. The thing that has recently killed every bit of love for this game is that within this last year or so they had added a “LIMITED BINDING ATTEMPTS” feature to Facebook, Email or your Apple account. that didn’t seem too harmless right?…so just as long as you keep the game downloaded, and keep playing every day like I was right?..WRONG!! Within this year 2022 between January and almost September my FFBE account was “unbinded” from Facebook repeatedly and now those “LIMITED BINDING ATTEMPTS” have been used and my account gone just like that.. I love everything Final Fantasy, this game was a beautiful collaboration of all things Final Fantasy with its own storyline as well. But I think they are just losing the momentum that they had, and due to that loss they are making people or OG’s like myself restart from the beginning to make money in the end. So (download at your own risk) but don’t go overboard with this game, it’s not worth the time anymore..Ogg1Version: 7.4.5

Not being able to make friend(s): shadow banned?I’ve been playing for a couple months now, but my only complaint is adding and making friends. Every person I try to add, it’s either their friends list has hit its limit or their friending request has hit its limit; I find it to be extremely tedious and superfluous to limit such things, and especially not being to add anyone in the recommendation add list of the friend section, either. I have had zero friends on this game since I’ve started playing months ago and I’m quite curious as to why everyone I add, they’ve hit their friending maxima limitation or requests, and why no one ever adds me—am I possibly being shadow banned? And for what purpose, and why? My name is Auri in-game, by the way. I hope this’ll get fixed. Update: Prior towards the original critique, it still remains, though I’ve accumulated over a hundred of exivus tickets and it’s painstaking to have to individually use them up, to only get rare heroes, whereas, it’d be so much better if you could multi-summon them simultaneously, than to spend thirty minutes individually using them up. I find it to be tedious, thus causing me to neglect the summonings because of how much I have to do..ItarillëVersion: 3.7.1

Used to be amazingI’ve played this almost every day since launch. I used to love it, but it’s become garbage over the past 6-9 months. Now it’s just a boring summoning casino with nothing else to do. The same 2-3 types of recycled weekly content for over a year has become more than stale. The time between new actual challenges has become massive, and when they do come out they’re either trivial due to unchecked powercreep or have ridiculously complicated patterns that basically require a Gantt chart to navigate or else you wipe. The global team also appears to be barely competent, based on the same bugs from the JP version showing up with every new app version, inconsistently scheduled and unnecessarily long weekly maintenance windows, and other bugs in global exclusive content. Of course, this doesn’t prevent them from pushing out laughably-priced bundles along with near-constant limited-time banners to maximize their short-term profits while discouraging and deterring the vast majority of the playerbase. It’s a shame what Alim and Gumi have done with such a beloved franchise, really. Ultimately, I’m sad that Square Enix chose them to produce this rather than a company with talented individuals and integrity..TgieselmanVersion: 3.4.5

A once-good game being ruined.I have been playing for over 2 years, and used to spend a few bucks here and there on some decent bundles. Before the 7-Star system, ads getting put in, and having to try to search through 20+ extremely watered down summon banners (they literally have like 22 up as I write this), the game was a ton of fun. The straw that’s broken the camels back for me was customer support, however; 3 times in a row I was either double-charged or didn’t receive bundles I’d purchased. I would send screenshots and receipts to customer service, only to be told I had to deal with apple. Naturally, after sending everything to apples customer support, apple would tell me i had to deal with the apps manufacturer. Eventually the apps customer service would either give me a paltry amount of lapis as compensation, or try to refer me back to apple. To top everything off, now you pretty much get pigeonholed into having to use a particular handful of 7 Star units (and a lot are not even FF- they keep spamming made-up garbage that you have to get 4 of to actually fully power up) to clear any of the games more difficult content. 99% of the units you get are completely useless..Xxx-danksmekjfknoscope-xxcVersion: 3.4.3

Between the Greed and BrokenAs the subject matter says, between those two this game suffers greatly. 7* are here, but the Unit of Choice tickets we've finally gotten have been cut in half compared to FFBE Japan. To the point if we relay on them to get 7* units (by using UoC tickets for 5* units) it would take a whole year... this of course does not count the ransoms Lapis summons. That's the greed, need more proof? I've done over a month of half off Laps summons and have not received anything of significant value, just fodder to be sold off for Gil and to make space since we're limited to Unit Space unless we spend Lapis or Voucher tickets to increase it. Unlike Hearthstone, this game is not fair when it comes to pulling the Legendary Card equivalent (5* Units)... but hey, at least it's not Brave Frontier. This game is constantly on a weekly basis more buggy then the PC game Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines at Launch in 2004, seriously play for any amount of time past a month and just into the sub-Reddit for this game... it's eye opening, then if your a real masochist, go look at FFBE Japan and how their doing everything right. You'll cry because more then likely your phone is region locked to not play games from Japan..Always in TorporVersion: 3.1.0

Kinda fun game, super greedy gacha exploitationPlayed this game from the beginning over a year ago. Kept going out of boredom and the hope it would get better. I will say the game has become more fun, but the continued conditioning to trick people out of their money is unconscionable. This is a gambling The latest in a long string of manipulative tactics is to have the rates of banner drops be half what it is in the jp version and for the highly anticipated banner that is currently running they have diluted it with another worthless unit banking on people spending more money chasing a unit that is now half as likely to appear when they have already secretly cut the rate in half behind the scenes. What was expected to be a 50% chance to get 9S (the current desired unit) when a gold crystal drops, which is already rare, they have changed to a 12.5%. A HUGE change to milk people for all they have. People have spent hundreds trying to get what should have been easy, and they are making so much money. This is wrong, and the reason we need gacha laws to protect consumers from this kind of human behavior skinner box conditioning and sneaky bait and switch tactics. This should be illegal..KojanceVersion: 2.2.3

Completely overwhelming and under challengingIve wasted about 3 hours on this game. Hopefully this review heps you avoid that. The overwhelming: The main splash page has about 40 things to click on. Each of those brings you to a new page with about 20-40 more things to click on, with those bringing you to more pages of things to click on, etc. Half of these things are attempts to get you to pay money for something. Seriously...try to hide your greed a little bit. The tutorial teaches you what about 5 of these things do. Other than that, you just have to click on things and try to figure out what all is going on in this game. Good luck. Reading through all of this will take you days. The under challenging: The battles you can do in the first 3 hours offer 0 challenge whatsoever. They give you overpowered characters to start with, and even if they didn’t, they give you a spot to summon a companion, which can be a maxed out character that can do millions of damage to every enemy, every turn (they only have about 100 health each). I even tried summoning the weakest companions i could and there was still no challenge to win the battles. Im guessing later in the game there will will be some sort of challenging enemies, but after 3 hours of no challenge im not willing to seek that out. Basically the game offers no challenge and has menus that are filled with ridiculous amounts of crap, mostly which is just trying for a cash grab. Avoid this game like the plague..Loramer1141Version: 6.5.1

Great game but ads are a messI love playing this game, but whatever ad method Gumi or its partner is using makes performing some functions the most annoying structure on the planet. Watching the occasional ad on the wheel or for energy is fine, because I chose to. But those ads have /no way/ to close them. There’s no X, and I’ve let them sit for hours. You sit through a 1-2 minute video, then it loads a splash screen. But instead an X, you get >>, which forcibly loads the App Store and in one case tries to download the app for you. Then when you close /that/ you can finally close the ad (provided it doesn’t load /another/ video or animation), then it finally provides an X. Knock that junk off. I don’t even mind the video, but this forced App Store nonsense is trash. Just give us an X, we already sat through the ad. And don’t buy ‘featured units’. It’s $12-$24 for a 1% chance to get the unit they’re featuring. Just play the game and collect tickets, and try to get them with a higher drop chance with the free lapis you get. Even whales should beware this one..KitsuneSoupVersion: 7.6.0

Final Fantasy is great, but Gumi is not.I love this game so much. I love the fact that most ff characters are playable, the battle mechanics are great, bosses are TOUGH AS NAILS, events come and go every month or two weeks. GUMI, the developer/global owner whatever they are, is NOT CONSCIOUS of the players. I can probably say that a lot of players are younger ppl; not with full careers, living paycheck to paycheck, f2p players. But they offer the most outrageous “deals”, such as 46$ US for a 10+1 summon where you cant choose your 5* unit. I can see more people spending money like that IF MORE CONTROL WAS GIVEN TO THE PLAYER. For example, the summon pool for 5* is massive; letting the players CHOOSE would greatly increase players throwing money at gumi. The prices are getting ridiculous. They wont be seeing a penny from me, and its situations like the above mentioned that drive people to be free to play, thus making gumi lose out on those players that DID pay even if it was one bundle a month. At this stage in the game, many long time players have everyone they need as units, and overly expensive deals only strengthens the switch to free to play..KendubyaVersion: 2.6.1

Pay to play, pay to win, poor customer serviceThis game is similar to loot box mechanics in that you have to “pull” units from a summon pool in order to use them. Over time the game has become so power crept making the units you spent $$ on pulling 2 months ago irrelevant and outclassed by the new time limited unit you can only get right now before it’s gone forever. Customer service is non-existent, and they basically tell players to go screw themselves. They won’t help you whatsoever, even if you’re adversely affected by faulty mechanics implemented by their poor development staff that literally try to push out new features (ahem, more things to buy each week), before taking care of the existing game and player base. You can play for years and the developers won’t care about you, just the whales that shell out thousands of dollars to be relevant in the game. There’s no challenging content whatsoever in this game, just a cute 16 bit pixelated unit you can spend money on to add to your collection that gets shelved in a month. This company feeds on nostalgia and gambling addicts to stay afloat..RyanwestbrookVersion: 3.6.0

Don’t try this game unless you can pay through your noseThey followed Japanese version and release the 7* system, which requires a duplicate 5* (low chance to get) to evolve. But they didn’t follow Japanese version to make 5* more accessible. In fact, they made changes to lower the chance of getting a duplicate 5*. For example, comparing to Japanese version, reducing the number of “unit of choice” ticket (collect 10 and select a specific 5*) and make them less accessible; for the login rewards, they replaced some tickets that players can use on a specific banner with tickets that has a general pool so that players cannot target for specific characters; delay releasing of 7* evolution of good characters to keep the hype going and make them not available in the pool of “unit of choice” tickets until their 7* evolution is released. Everything shows developer is just greedy and being hostile to players all around. Can you imagine it takes 10 months just to get a character to 7*, which eventually will be a requirement? DON’T TRY THIS GAME IF YOU DON’T PLAN TO PAY A LOT..Vanny007Version: 3.1.0

Greedy GUMIEverything related to progression is meticulously calculated to run you short on resources and lock you away from completion unless you’re ready to regularly dish out around 100$ per banner. Even if you’re “lucky” you will still end up short, simply due to the fact that there is more to gather/enhance than you are realistically able to do- - - hence being invited to spend money to finish these “progressions”. This is what you call “predatory” and it is particularly bad on this title. Opera Omnia Dissidia is doing just FINE without having to resort to these same shenanigans, there’s no excuse..SaltyMinesVersion: 7.9.0

Crash trash by Enix?OK I would like to say that constant crash, constant download to abuse user data usage is a joke, enix did great for pc games but utterly fail in apps. Stay to pc games guys. If this fubar problems to be fixed get real programers to move to pc or make a launcher so it’s both on pc and on this. Learn from other game companies and this also helps prevent the majority of app players with jail broken phones, iPads etc to not cheat in every game on this..TalonoaVersion: 4.1.5

Useless downloadsYou guys must be kidding. You force me to download 8mb of data just to tell me that I need to download a new version? Never heard of remote config? This is a joke, you should be more careful about wasting user data..ScodinoVersion: 3.7.1

Lol wow....🤦‍♂️Yeah, I read the reviews and laughed, oh the downloading can’t be that bad... I think I managed to play the game for about 30 seconds before all the downloads made me delete the app. I’m not even joking! Think the app was open for 30 mins I played for 30 seconds the rest was download after download and I have 1gb internet,(not that that matters in my phone I know) just an idea that my net is not garbage. Fair warning ⚠️ the game is NOT worth the space on your phone and who knows what they are making you download. 🤷‍♂️.NeganftwVersion: 4.1.5

Download every secondLet me resume the experience for you : Would you like to download 1.6 gb Would you like to download 7 kb Would you like to download 8 mb Would you like to download 300 mb.TondalVersion: 3.7.1

Download 2gb every time I start up the gameEvery time I start up the game it asks me to download the game contents and it’s so annoying because I don’t want to download 2 gb every time I want to play this damn game. this happened with my iPad as well. Please fix this..Geminix1817Version: 3.6.7

Money GrabNew "summer bundle" is a huge rip off compared to any lapis bundle that was available is the past. Waste of lapis and a poor attempt to get unknowing players to burn through lapis quicker to purchase more. The NeiR banner has a terrible 4 star global unit added just to dilute the pool for 9S. Greedy company..Locke108Version: 2.2.3

Endless grind yearly crashesHonestly once you get to a certain level in this game it just becomes a slog of a grind you just do the same thing every single day and it just becomes boring and tiring I’m glad the yearly bug for Facebook login came because it made me finally decide to quit this game..Grantz1Version: 8.6.0

Dead/ dying gameI love Final Fantasy and this game gives you that old-school turn based boss fight experience with your favourite characters. Unfortunately it’s a sloppy mobile game otherwise. The claim all rewards button is broken, meaning you have to individually claim each mission reward and you get four for every story mission btw, which makes this tedious. You can’t skip missions once you’ve aced them, like in other mobile games. This means you have to battle each and every time which makes farming on a character farming game very tedious. The game seems to be fairly dead in summer 2023, I still have yet to find someone who’s friend list isn’t full. When I search for friends I get mostly results with people who haven’t played in years or failed friend request attempts. The panel quests and rewards don’t unlock unless you can find a friend on this game, which is very difficult when seemingly everyone’s friend lists are full and results for player searches to find friends are people that don’t play anymore. Meaning I haven’t even unlocked panel quests after two weeks. This game needs quality of life upgrades and some refinements so active players can find and connect with other active players easier. Even if you were to pay money into this game, there’s no real value when the game is in this kind of shape. Even F2P there’s little value in playing this game in its current state. I love final fantasy, I think with some work this could be a good game but quality of life has to come first, especially on a mobile game..SkibarooVersion: 8.2.0

Poor Customer Service with Technical IssuesThere is a known glitch where you are unable to invite other players to become friends…so I brought this up to their customer support and operations team. I wanted to see if there was another way to complete the Rookie Panel Quests (because you need to have friends on the app to do so) but no alternatives were provided…maybe this is a sign of a dying app just like first soldier?.Drewby_14Version: 7.7.0

Bon jeu mais communication vraiment mauvaiseÇa va faire 6 ans que je joue au jeu et à chaque fois qu’il y a un problème il est difficile de savoir quand celui-ci sera réglé. Depuis la dernière mise à jour, nous ne pouvons plus jouer et il y a eu un message disant qu’il allait regarder le problème et depuis ce temps plus rien comme communication et impossible de jouer… Bien que j’aime ce jeu je ne peux pas donner une bonne note car pour le reste clés pas fameux…..Odin1111Version: 7.4.5

Cantine loginBeen almost 3 days we can’t play and we haven’t gotten any news. Been playing since day 1 but honestly customer service is terrible….Barberian222Version: 7.4.5

Good… but updates get oldI like the game, but I’m annoyed at the size of the downloads every week. Left it for a while, came back and now leaving again. It’s the same story; every week Open app, small download, then large download… to then unlock another large download… Space isn’t an issue on my new device (like it’s been in the past) but it gets a little ridiculous. Not to mention every other month after the updates, there are sign in issues… just annoyed at the way they’ve developed their game overall..JohnnyEnglish91Version: 7.4.5

Charged my credit without my iTunes verification passwordI was as playing as normal and I took a nap. I made no purchase at the shop menu at the time. After I woke up I received an emails for a purchase that I didn’t make on September 27. The shop package is called Mythril Chest, which is $34.99 CAD before tax. I’m the only one that plays this game. The current shop menu doesn’t have this package on September 27. I reported as fraud to iTunes twice and didn’t get a response. I’m upset that you charged me without my iTunes verification password. ===== Can’t login to Facebook to recover the game…fix it please.SilverRoseCatVersion: 7.4.5

Pay to winIn order to progress in this game you must pay… also customer service sucks.Altas AlterVersion: 6.7.0

No player appreciationMany broken promises and no appreciation for vets. Game is getting stale and more toxic..EargpioVersion: 6.3.5

Worst gameApart from the game breaking issues which seem to be quite often, or the annoying bugs which still haven’t been fixed for years. They have continued to not listen to the player base and with their anniversary’s the past 2 years we can tell we don’t matter just our money..TrevorajaVersion: 6.3.5

Good but...There is a massive bug that tells you a person’s friends requests are full. Therefore you can’t send one. To add insult to injury they offer quests to do just that. I don’t mind the P2W but I will not pay for a broken system. This has been going on for years from what I have read online..Brobra_commanderVersion: 6.3.5

MisinformationInstead of saying it’s 97 mb and then making ppl download almost half a god dam GB and then say oh wait their 3.7gbs more. Tell us how big it is first you F holes.NewgearsVersion: 6.3.5

Overall terribleBad customer service, game is managed by a greedy company that doesn’t care about its players. So many issues in the past couple years..MattyB1307Version: 6.3.5

Nope. I am done.I played this game for years, even threw them the odd $10 here and there because I was enjoying it. I’ve dealt with some of the QoL changes that were awful and just did what I could to ignore some of the major flaws. But this anniversary event? Done. Goodbye. Never on my phone again. This is not an event. This is not enjoyable. This is a tedious task of mindless face sliding on your screen. There is nothing celebratory about “spend $80 and you might get a chance to get this character!” And then borderline locking any viability to clear content behind a paywall of less than 1-3% chance of getting what you need. (If you want to refute this, please go ahead and show the odds of pulling a specific NV unit.) We won’t even get into the 500 chocobo reels spins which are so minimal of chance in anything beyond a stamina potion or a 3 star summon..Mugu muguVersion: 6.3.2

2020 and no landscape mode lolOn top of the ridiculous mtx’s, you can’t even play this in landscape mode. might not be a big deal or others, but that’s a huge pass in my book. next..MvbjksmncbVersion: 5.2.5

Support for the player base is at an all time low.Are my SOON exchange coins not worth the same as other players? Why should some people get to have the max amount of Gil and the others are forced to play you game for hundreds of hours just to reach the same amount. You handled the Gil snapper mistake poorly GUMI, and your players are upset..Wmerkl55Version: 5.0.1

Unfair issuesMany player had 1 time chance for unit restoration if the unit was sold by mistake but they refused to do it now very disappointed as a long term player.JeRrY~!Version: 5.0.1

ShadyThey made a huge error that benefited a small percent of the players and now refuse to make it so the rest of the player base can benefit.... fair is fair.TheTMBVersion: 5.0.1

Very Long Time PlayerThe mobile equivalent of Fallout 76. I've played this game for multiple years, but I grew frustrated with the glitches, weekly 6 hour maintenance after 4 years? I stopped playing for 6 months or so because I was so grumpy. I went out and got a 7th gen iPad, it’s STILL THE SAME if not WORSE! This game should not be this unstable after so many years. Oh, and let’s not forget the many, many, many, many, many downloads this game asks for. I hope you have unlimited wifi. Play for fun if you must, but save your cash for a copy of a PC or console game. You'll be much happier in the long run..JLAwatchtowerVersion: 4.2.6
