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. ;)

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.

Completely overwhelming and under challenging. Ive 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.

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

Always at least a little broken... now unplayable. I 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.

Fun but Frustrating. The 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. 🙄

Fun but frustrating. While 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!

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.

Download Hell. I 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.

Between the Greed and Broken. As 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.

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...

Solid Game but drop rates are BS. The 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.

fantastic final fantasy. My 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.

What to expect as a non or low spender. Nobody 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.

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.

Great game but ads are a mess. I 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.

I really have to say it. This 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.

Used to be amazing. I’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.

Enough Is Enough. This 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.

Good game being ruined by greedy company. This 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.

SQUARE ENIX PLEASE READ. I 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.

It’s time to let it out. I 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

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!

Kinda fun game, super greedy gacha exploitation. Played 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.

Top Gacha Game. This 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.

Decent game. I'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...

Fun game. This 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.

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.

I got stuck in arena battle. The 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.

Was a nice little nostalgia trip. I 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.

Pay to play, pay to win, poor customer service. This 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.

Great game. I’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.

Hear me out. Been 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

Long time player - Unhappy. I 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.

Long time FF fan some issues. The 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.

Invigorating. This 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.

Don’t Expect Help from Customer Service. Make 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.

Fantastic Free Game. This 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.

Please help me. I 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

Love it, not perfect though. This 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.

Fun but not at the same time. Hello 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

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.

Great but an Installation Nightmare. I 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).

Fun, free, easy to grasp, challenging to master. I 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.

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..

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.

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.

New review. After 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.

Keeps Crashing. I 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 )

Don’t try this game unless you can pay through your nose. They 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.

Great game ! But needs some changes. I love this game and my account has been around for years, this game is a great title to the franchise. Great story and detail and the characters fit so well. My problem is the summon system, I understand loot draws are the main attractions when it comes to revenue and we all have bills to pay. But the sheer number of units in this game is enormous and awakening for the 5 star plus units isn’t easy sometimes if you don’t have the best “luck” when it comes to those draws. Additionally for some 5 star units, they have the ability to move to NV status and if you don’t have enough in game currency to help you get what you need to power out your units you rely on the summoning to get you there. The drop rates are not that bad , but the pool of units in which is comes from. TMR’s obtained by the trust value being maxed out are valuable even if they come from a lower level unit, but the odds of being to get the units you need are slim sometimes. I just think a change in the summon system to help you obtain the units you need would be a big helper/ getting duplicates of other level units. Other than that the rest of it is perfect.

Not quite five anymore. Excellent game. Had it for years. But since the most recent update yesterday, it crashes over and over and over again in battles. Why?

I don’t understand why only FB and Google Login.... I don’t understand why I can only Login using a Facebook account or a Google account that seems really stupid. You could add a Apple ID Login option or even a “Final Fantasy account“

Crashing. This game is a solid 5 stars when I can actually play it tho, after this recent Chinese New Years update I can’t seem to get even to the loading screen where u tap to continue. It really is disappointing and I hope u guys and fix it soon ,great game though :)

Loved the game, new update has issues. I've been a loyal player for months now without issue, the latest update though causes the game to crash whenever I try to open the app. If the developers find the problem then I would recommend this game with a 5 star glowing review.

Great fun game and highly addictive. With a cast of characters from previous series in a turn based rpg and in depth storyline. Lots of side quests and hidden treasures to discover. An alternative to classic console rpg.

Add online chat. many other games that are hugely popular but “cash grabbing” they include a global chat for players to talk among themselves, Final Fantasy Brave Exidus thrives on adventure, characters and fighting but lacks player base. I believe if they could add a way for people to chat like a global chat, this game would reach thousands of reviews and players. Please make this happen.

The Definition of a Scam. This game is the reason why many free to play games have such a bad reputation. It has some of the worst business practices and they THRIVE off your need to get your favourite Final Fantasy character. Things were so bad that they HAD to increase and improve the rare character summoning because you could do 50, 60 or more draws and get nothing but a bunch of unknown common characters. Happened to me and hundreds of other people several times. Things have apparently improved a bit so I downloaded the game again to give things a try. I did over 30 draws, and recieved nothing...and judging from the Facebook page things are still really bad and they are just taking your money. As a game reviewer, I look for certain things...and this game has all the worst, money grabbing practices you can imagine. I feel sorry for those who have spent hundreds on this game trying to get their favourite character from a beloved Final Fantasy game. That's why I've taken the time to warn people to avoid this game. It's a cheap, pay to win, gambling emulation that does deserve your time or money.

So many bugs. ‘Claim All’ doesn’t work. Some panel quests never show as complete. The notification badge numbers on home screen icons are seemingly random. It’s impossible to send a friend request to a companion. Tickets sometimes disappear. And so on. It’s sad because this would be a great game otherwise, but these things are whittling away my tolerance.

I have become so severely disappointed ..... With this game, how it’s managed, Gumi/Alim and Square Enix. I don’t want to spend 30+ minutes on a review and so I’ll sum it up like this: When people who’ve been playing FFBE for years and sunk $100k+ into the game are quitting then there’s something seriously wrong with the game.

Fun and Addictive. The game is really enjoyable and addictive. I would give a 5 star if the app does not occasionally hang when switching apps.

Consistently breaking. I’ve played this game for a couple years and it is ridiculous how often this game breaks after maintenance. No one is surprised when they can’t log into the game after maintenance and what makes it worse is the horrific customer support which consists of generic copy/paste replies with no substance and can takes months to be resolved. To top it off there have been numerous false banner rates published over the past year and incorrect images displayed on banners which have resulted in refunded pulls etc. This game is pushing away its paying players through poor execution and customer support and I’d be surprised if it lasts another year.

Barely playable. The game is great and I enjoy playing but every day I login now I have to download a bunch of game data thanks to some new IOS issue that seems to treat all of the extra downloaded files as unnecessary data and auto deletes them

Love. I have played all the ff games and this plays to my old school sensibilities. Its familiar, its fun and its rewarding

Hrrmmmm. GREAT GAME! Never spent money, but still got some pretty good stuff, just not as frequently as you'd probably get if you paid stuff. Worked smoothly on my iPhone 5c, until it got stolen a few days ago. Started using my old iPhone 4S since then, but no luck in loading the game. The "Connecting..." and "Loading..." pages show up but that's as far as I'd get. I'm so sad. I hope that I'll still be able to play, and soon.

F2P, still good. I've been playing for about 2 years now and still haven't spent a single cent. At the moment, I've got several 6*s, about half or more with their Trust Master rewards obtained. I might just be ridiculously lucky, but my experience of the game has been and is still good, especially considering I haven't spent any money for it. In terms of playability, yes it has problems like crashes during some patches, but so far they've managed to get around to fixing any bugs/etc. that exist.

Horrible experience. I absolutely loved this game. Had this game on my Samsung phone and apple ipad. Have spent years and thousands of dollars and have loved it. But with the latest update of this game it has now wiped everything on my apple iPad. I have lost everything because I never binded my iPad account to a Facebook account. Is there anyway I can please get this back. Help me!!!

I have issues with the game.. The game was fun and awesome but i had stopped playing it for a month,i came back to play and i couldn't enter the app

New update broke my game. Since the new update, I can't do anything, every option except the main sooty is blurred out as if I haven't unlocked it and then even when I do try to play the story, the app crashes

CRASHING. I’ve played the game and I’d rate it 5 stars but I can’t even play anymore i downloaded the new data then it says download 240kb I download and the game crashes over and over again I can’t play pls fix this

Rubbish. Absolute horrible game. Game Glitches and characters can't die. It's a known bug and there's still no fix. Closing app doesn't work and even deleting and reinstalling doesn't help. I just want to play normally. Instead you get lead into a boss fight that you cannot win. You can't die, you can't escape/leave the fight. All you have to do is wait hours (if not days) till you defeat the boss doing 20-50 dmg whilst the enemy does 10k - 20k dmg on you. Just don't do it. Tarnishes the name of final fantasy. These guys should be ashamed of themselves.

Ok game. Love the game but I can’t use my mobile data when I used to

0.79% rainbow rate for your $$. This gacha game is rigged as hell, gacha rate is kept a secret to every players, certain banner have rates that are lowered, company bans you outright after spending >$1500 without even hearing what you have to say because every singly reply you get from their support are automated replies, if you can even call this a support. Please dont assume its a 1% rainbow rate, their stinky info has leaked and its 0.79%, lowest of any gacha games

Less is more!. There is honestly way too much in this game to do and manage. At least for me. I spent probably 20h on it over the weekend hoping to get deep into the story and master a few of the basic side elements only to unlock more and more side elements. It just became too much to manage. For others though, this game might just be what you’re looking for. Role play and PVP, quests and much more. Prepare to spend some serious time investing to go places though. Another plus is that it doesn’t look like you really need to pay to play, you’ll get more out of it taking your time to go through everything until you understand what you’re doing, then make a purchase to support the developers 👍🏻

Good game. Solid experience. Been playing for a while now and I'm greatly enjoying the game.

So much data required. Have this game for 2 weeks, like, it always requires to download updates EVERY TIME I LOGGED IN, cannot just have quick fights and go, have to wait every time when logged in.

Must have game. Fantastic game, but would like to have some past limited time characters comeback for permanent summons. Like KH3 NV Sora.

Error occurred. So this new update just came out and my game just won’t finish up downloading upon starting the app. It says that there is a 188mb download and after finishing that, a sign will appear telling me that an error occurred which will return me to the title screen in which I have to restart the download. I’ve tried to restart the download 4 times now and yet still got the same outcome. I’m pretty sure I’ve missed a couple log in days already and I wish you guys can fix this problem ASAP. Thanks 🙏

Help please. I love this game but I can barely play it because it’s always needing a gb update and it’s really annoying please help❤️😩

Fun but prepare for a load of bull. You instantly fix bugs that are beneficial to players, take months to fix bugs that harm us. You’ve purposely changed nerfed unit data then told us to check official resources and pointed us to a wiki that is community run. As grateful as I am that this has changed, how long did you take to fix this? A month, two, six, more? Not to mention this anniversary. Sweet, 5 10+1 pulls with no Rainbow Guarantee plus equipment tickets for outdated gear. Ah yes, Jp got 16k premium currency and a free omniprism, but giving us 5k premium and making us pay 10k for one certainly rings that 4 year festivity and truly drills in that Global is nothing like Jp. None of us would be this frustrated if you at least put out a video that CLEARLY outlined how this anniversary would go because as far as I know, covid did not cripple you nearly as much as you say. Nevertheless, you at least nailed the combat system so it’s a fun game to anyone reading this, just come in with little expectation of supports from the devs.

A love letter to Final Fantasy fans. Brave EXVIUS could be a mainline final fantasy title. The story is high quality and the new characters are full of personality. The gameplay is simple at a glance but also full of mechanics which makes it very fun once you have worked out how to use them together. The game has limited time gatcha banners to summon heroes from other final fantasy games and Square Enix titles as characters in the battle. The game is very free to play friendly even for new players. The negatives would be that the game is very grindy similar to other gatcha games, and the existence of the gatcha system you often won’t be getting what you want from banners. If you are a Final Fantasy fantasy fan and/or want to get invested into an incredible gatcha game, I would highly recommend FFBE.

PLEASE LET US INFUSE UNITS WITH 100% TRUST WITH OTHER UNITS THAT ALSO HAVE 100% TRUST. So recently, I got the yeti of narhse umaro and I got two of them, one being maxed out with the exception of not having super trust leveled and another one that is brand new with only 100% trust. PLEASE add this function. Or can I contact game support and ask to revert the change?

So addictive. FFBE is an awesome game, with so much to do! It’s totally possible to level up and earn characters and items without paying any real money, especially as there are special campaigns and summons on rotation. Gameplay is fun, and there’s a nice auto feature in case you’re feeling lazy for easier battles. There are a lot of familiar faces and cool characters and it’s very satisfying to earn summons and items as you go. The game gets better every time it’s updated. The only big problem I have with the game is that you have to be online to play it. This seems to be the deal with pretty much all big Japanese mobile games these days, however it would be nice to be able to use the app when I don’t have internet available. In short, FFBE is very addicting (sometimes a little too much) and is very worth a download.

Nothing else quite like it. I’ve played on and off for a couple of years, never needed to spend money to enjoy the storyline. I deleted the app because it was consuming my time; this time around I’m not racing through and have the characters I need to complete most challenges.

Addictive. I've played a lot of mobile games, this is easily the best combination of JRPG and the collection gacha genre. The gameplay is fun with massive amounts of options. Lots of customisation and the soundtrack is great. To actually buy anything is usually really expensive, I'd recommend saving the in game currency instead.

This game is now awful. Unless you want to spend over $100 a week to play this game, don’t even bother downloading it. Used to be good but now it’s the literal definition of pay to play. If you have the spare time and money you’re better off spending it literally anywhere else. I’m sad this is what the game’s become. :(

The game won't start. After the update the game downloads additional content however it cannot be installed, the game issues an error screen and starts downloading the contact again in the loop.

For what it’s worth. Game play is good. Graphics remind me of the classic FF games. A lot of things to do aside from the main story line. Biggest issue is the low chance of 4-6 star units even after they say the chance to obtain has been increased

Great but nothing left to do towards end game. You can be free to play and still enjoy this game. They’re very generous with gifts and you can get by without spending anything. Mechanics are great and 5star units are not necessary to get ahead. What you really want are equipment you’ll need to farm from events. I’m at end game and there’s pretty much nothing left to do which is quite disappointing. Pretty much finished the game. It’s been a good run thanks gummi

Help. The newbie quest is glitched for me I have cleared the first challenges but it won’t accept that it’s been done, how can I fix this?

I was fun I guess. I had played it but it started to get its problems half the time I try to redeem my daily gift or something it won’t let me redeem it or remove it which tends to get annoying and the game crashed too sometimes

Awesome. This game is a whole bunch of awesome fun! Just beware if you’re in Australia though as any updates are done during the day for us and they take almost all day :( so you miss out on a day of play at least once or twice a month :,(. Aside from that this game has drawn me in :D

Claim all button bug issue not letting me claim all item at once plz fix it. Great game in the history of final fantasy Brave exvius 10/10 There is one tiny bug u need to fix up is the claim all button gifts Been like that for years since I play it before it was released first time and now these new update has made my claim all button not claim able soo atm I have to claim the present each per item, I hope u guys can fix this issue:V! Please it’s bugging me a lot lol.

Love it!. I love it so much it's completely awesome no words lower! I don't want to stop playing it it's that good!

Global is a cash grab. Developers for global are only interested in maximising their profits for the game. If you are going to play this game and hope for an enjoyable experience, I’d recommend looking towards the Japanese version of the game instead. Priorities for the global developers is Profit over Player Experience. Newer players will have trouble beginning the game and a lot of the rewards that are meant to keep the balance of achievable rewards for newbies have been stripped when those updates hit global. Global punishes newer players by removing the rewards that are designed to give them a fighting chance. Global is great. For whales. And day 1 players only.

Keep crashing on my iPad. Game is awesome. But it keep crashing every few minutes.

Every week maintenance connection issue. It seems like every time there is a big update to the game I always encounter downloading issues. It will fully download and then it says there has been an error. It seriously happens every week and then there is no support on how to fix it. 🤷🏼‍♂️

If I could give less than 1 star I would. Game is designed to make money and take advantage of gambling mechanics. It’s horribly managed, the devs are actually the worst I’ve ever seen and they honestly insult the player base with the garbage they deliver. The saddest part? This game actually has potential to be one of the best out there. Instead they’ve taken famous nostalgic characters that we all love and butchered them with this horribly designed game and have thus tainted the legacy of Final Fantasy.

Latest update kills. Haven’t been able to play for days. Game is good, takes some time to play and not pay. Game currently crashes just before loading every time on both of my devices. Hope the new update fixed.

Awesome. I found the game to be awesome, iv been playing for 3 years now and still very addictive. I have put a bit of money In it but it isn’t a pay to play game, you get awesome rewards if you login daily and they refuel have events and raids that if you take the time to play it you will gain from it. I am a massive FinalFantasy fan and I think kudos to the developers for making a game that is still awesome CG but with that retro old school feel of what made FinalFantasy what It was and still is today.

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.

Pay to win. In order to progress in this game you must pay… also customer service sucks

Friends cap. It’s very nice and I enjoy playing it very much only I can’t progress the new player quests past the standard summon stage. Back then finding friends was easy but after starting in 2023 it’s been next to impossible to find recent players with space for new friends. Tldr: love it but friend cap is frustrating Will give 5stars when recent players are shown and have space for friends.

1. When i try to add someone it says there friend list is full

Enjoyable. I 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.

What did you do to the UI. ThebUI looked great in the last patch but in this update it looks so much cheaper and less appealing. The text is harder to read, the menus look worse and it has this awful blue light gloss over it please change it back.

Charged my credit without my iTunes verification password. I 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

2020 and no landscape mode lol. on 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.

Game is fun. The game is fun but since thursdays update i cant even lvl up my units the app keeps crashing

Download every second. Let 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

The Single best cell game. Of all the cell games this is by far the best stories, beautiful well written first time I’ve ever been addicted to one and is my 4th favourite Final Fantasy game. And I played them all

Dead/ dying game. I 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.

Download 2gb every time I start up the game. Every 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.

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.

Don’t listen to them. This is the best game ever and the guys hating on it are Reddit/gamefaqs fanboys who just didn’t get what they want when they want. The community is literally 90% complainers and sore losers in mamas basement. The game itself has been amazing and I’m super op and have never spent a dime. It’s people like this who ruin the game for everyone else and get it ended sooner than needed. You guys are Clown shoes.

Worst game. Apart 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.

Misinformation. Instead 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

Shady. They 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

Pretty Good but Getting Worse. New 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.

Poor Customer Service with Technical Issues. There 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?

Endless grind yearly crashes. Honestly 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.

Greatest game ever. Ive 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

Greedy GUMI. Everything 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.

Love it. Best game, 8/10 would recommend

Very Long Time Player. The 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.

Bon jeu mais communication vraiment mauvaise. Ça 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….

Takes your time. I 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

Great Game However. It’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...

Cantine login. Been 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…

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.

10k gems. spent 10k gems on summons and got trash. heres your trash rating

Unfair issues. Many 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

Good… but updates get old. I 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.

stupid dark vision ad over and over agin. im getting the dark vision ad eveyrimte i go in the menu this is so annoying im boycotinng the game until its gone!fed up now

Very good but. If 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.

Can’t even log in, no communication about the issues. Don’t play. Can’t play

Num. in my tum.

no player appreciation. many broken promises and no appreciation for vets. Game is getting stale and more toxic.

Fantastic game. I 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

Amazing and nostalgic. This game makes me want to play all the other final fantasy games. All the old heroes, and the new ones, are amazing and I love the combat strategy and style

Money Grab. New "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.

Fantastic Story and Events but Poorly Managed. The 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.

Useless downloads. You 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.

Loved this game to oblivion. This game was my all time favourite game I used to be so addicted to this game then the load out of the games format Changed then became to confusing and hard to understand I miss the way it use to look and be run don’t know if anyone else has this on their mind but I would love to see this game back to how y’all originally had it No dissing I still love this game!!!!!

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.

Black screen. I am fustrated. After the login screen it turns black but the music continues, I waited 10mins and still a black screen. I restarted but phone and still black screen affer login screen. I reinstalled the app and still a black screen. I am using an iPhone XR so what is happening?

What happened to Brave Frontier tho?. This looks exactly like my old favorite game called Brave Frontier that was deleted

Solid game, however. I 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.

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. 🤷‍♂️

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

It’s okay I guess. I love final fantasy and I have been playing this game quite a bit. What is utterly trash though is your rng on summoning. I have summoned 40+ units in the span of a week. I have only received 1 5* unit out of all of my summoning and none of them can get to 7*. How is a player supposed to progress or even compete in events when they can’t even get good units. Trust mastery is cool but is pointless to have if my units can’t stack up against other players. I refuse to spend anymore money on this game in hopes of getting any units that I can use to evolve to 7*. I only have one and that’s sad since I have been playing this game for a couple of years now. Used that premium summoning ticket that gives 4-5* units and all I got were 4* units out of it. 11 4* units and not a single one could get to 7. Not a single one I could use to evolve any of mine to 7*. You guys need to work on your retarded RNG rates.

Fun and fair!. I’ve come across many games that have been great until at a certain point it becomes play to win. I’ve been playing Final Fantasy Brave Exvius almost everyday for 2 years straight and its still amazing! The events are fun and you are always given the game’s currency, upgrading equipment, and free summons. Its completely possible to build up your teams without in app purchases. The energy system also has never really been troublesome. Some games have the same system but its almost unplayable because the energy either takes too long to regenerate or the energy is not given as a reward through ought the game so its hard to obtain. Final Fantasy Brave Exvius gets a 10/10, I recommend it to anyone looking for a good game!

Final Fantasy Nickel and Dime. I will start out by saying I have been playing FFBE since July of 2016 and it was initially a wonderfully enjoyable game that had a lot of depth and felt fresh. Despite that, over the last 6 months or so the developers have successfully managed to run any enjoyment I felt for the game into the ground. There is barely any communication from them, despite multiple messages saying "we will be better at communication". The content feels like it's drying up and we're being drip fed. The most offensive thing, though, is the developers are now trying to squeeze every last penny they can out of their players. Don't get me wrong, I am not one to shun micro transactions- I have spent a large amount of money in this game. The most recent behavior from the developers, though, makes me feel used and shows a severe lack of caring for the players. It disappoints me to say that I cannot recommend this game anymore due to the careless/greedy direction the developers have taken this game and their refusal to engage the community.

A free full fledged FF experience. Sure, this is a gacha game, and sure it’s heavily based on RNG, but it’s a grand heap of fun! The thing I like about this game is that you can actually work for the main currency the game uses (Lapis) and it doesn’t feel all that arduous as you play through the story. I was only playing it for the lapis at first, but then I actually got attached to the characters and fully realized the story forming around them. The game completely stole my heart and is the only mobile game I can say I truly love. Character building, check! Great story, check! Actual effort required, check! It’s got al the grand makings of a real game, not like most mobile games.

Always updating, never giving. To start I very much enjoy the mechanics of the game including leveling and equipping your heroes, but none of it makes up for the faults in this game. Every day I launch the game on lunch breaks I get a loading screen telling me I won't be playing till I get home. There is no reason this game needs a 20 minute update (on wifi) every day. The developers need to invest in quality control, seeing as they pull bank off their players. Speaking of, the ability to summon new features heroes seems impossible unless the game puts you in it's pool of people who will be graced with good luck. I've saved around 30+ summon tickets, both rare and 4+ at one time to only get filler trash summons yet get some other featured 5 star heroes second try on a free summon. It's designed to frustrate you into spending all your money and it's disgusting.

Fun game but very costly pay to win. The charming graphics and nostalgia will capture the intrigue of many people. It’s fun it’s complex yet casual at the same time. Is it cheap ? No! Calling it free to play is one thing. But pay to win is more accurate. That’s fine to a degree. But the reward for supporting it financially is very steep and long term not sustainable or beneficial for gamers. So I give the actual game a 4 out of 5 stars overall. There are aspects that are 5 out of 5 like the music or artistic style or the nostalgia which you really have to look out for as it could draw you in a negative way. Gameplay is nice but it got a bit broken because of overpowering mechanics that never cease going up. There’s interesting ideas but not a enough and needs some fresh ideas to spicen it up.

1st gen player. I’m fed up. I started playing about 2 month after launch. Love the nostalgia. Love I can instantly max a character since I have resources hoarded over a long period. But there is too much downsides. - Long maintenance every week. - Slow quality of life improvements on the most basic needs - Gumi’s grimey in game value of bundles. - Lack of empathy of their mistakes! - Lack of communication. (SOON tm) - Buggy features for months (bring your own unit) AND THIS IS THE MOST INFURIATING - Any bugs or mistake in players favor gets patched or hot fixed IMMEDIATELY. Literally an hour. How can you have such bad QA team before an update but have such a responsive team to fix errors in players favor so quick. Please fix the bugs first! I would love my friends list to be fixed. Hasn’t this been broken for 4 years now? There are more but I will stop. At first it was a sunken fallacy complex I have towards this game. Now I’m just so put off with the way situations are handled, especially in 2020. While it’s not good bye but it pretty much is. Will only log in for daily rewards. Won’t spend anymore. Won’t do events. What’s the point? I even have the new shiny NV units with no content to clear. If your thinking about starting just for nostalgia, just don’t. This is a player who has spent money and it’s not worth it for the self inflicted mental pain I’m sure many of us has suffered.

Terrible Development Team. I’ve been playing this game ever since launch. It hasn’t changed at all when it comes to technical improvement. First off it takes them 8-10 hours EVERY week to complete an update which is ridiculous how they haven’t shortened that down. Secondly if something goes wrong (like a Facebook login mishap) they can take up to a whole week fixing it and providing generic updates on the situation. Meanwhile players that aren’t affected still get to play and reap the “compensation” for the issue that only the affected players should receive. They have a terrible business model and they’re extremely greedy. The game was and is fun to play when it’s running perfectly but that’s a rare sight to see. Just be weary, this review may also get taken down due to the brutal honesty that APO developers hate and have removed.

👍🏻. *EDIT: Thanks for the fixes! iOS11 here, on an iPhone 7 plus. The day the update came out, I could open the app ONCE, and everything on it was glitched to all hell. Visual glitches, broken names, hundreds of missing textures, and the like. The vortex wasn’t even visible whatsoever. As for the icons , none of them were clickable except for the World map. Espers, Arena, Crafting all displayed a ‘???’ And being dimmed out, even though I’d been playing this game for a good several months now. Knowing I couldn’t get any content done, I closed it. To this day, I haven’t been able to play. Open the app, and it shows the game developer logos, login, it connects, loads for about a second, then crashes. Would appreciate a fix on this soon, or at least extended time on the event. Thanks

A stripped down neutered version of what JP gets.. I love this game, FF is my favorite series and this is just more of that. The reality is, that this game is a shell of what the JP version gets. We get reduced rewards, less features, less content, less units, less abilities, and constant bugs. Just look at what JP gets for anniversary rewards compared to global. The way the game is implemented for global is a clear case of artificial demand, where we have less resources to to get the units we want, thus pushing people to spend money. Even if you do get the unit you want chances are that they will be missing some abilities or features that make them unique or worth obtaining. This is not a case of COVID impacting work, because this has been happening for a long time. There’s plenty to do in this game and keeps you busy, but at this point global is like an afterthought in the developers’ eyes.

Still broken. Love the game but still that bug lingers where your hit points stay at 1 and you can’t be defeated. I’m stuck on a boss that keeps healing itself. But I can’t lose...just an endless stalemate. The retreat button is also blacked out and won’t respond. Uninstalling and downloading again doesn’t fix it either. I did login again through Facebook after reinstalling. Also had the problem, before I uninstalled, where you couldn’t get to the home screen and it would only take you to the overworld map. Couldn’t reply stages at all since they were blacked out as well and had trouble with the character select screen...couldn’t swap characters at all. Hope this glitch gets fixed soon...will change star rating once it gets resolved. (Using IPhone 6S)

Awesome Game!. This game is worth downloading and playing. Get to play with a lot of different characters. Those who have played battle frontier will definitely love this game as it is almost the same mechanics. Thank you Square Eric for such an awesome mobile game! Leveling characters in this game is quite satisfying. I like the fact that you can fuse units to power them up to make them stronger. You can really play this game without paying anything. The grind is not that bad at all. It would be easier if you paid to get things things that you want if you want to go that route. Just download and see for yourself how great this game is.

Love it! but... unplayable.. I’ve been itching to play this game for awhile. It’s final fantasy, what’s not to love? So I download it the other day. Worked great! The battles were fun, love having playable characters from other FF’s, and it’s old school style. Of course I start playing the next day... the back button doesn’t work. Ooooky maybe I can try a few battles and it’ll start working again? Nope. Still doesn’t work. Not only THAT but in fights I can’t use abilities, limit break doesn’t fill up (best part of the battle system). All I can do is melee and progress in the story... and never go back and fight the previous levels again to farm mats to better improve the characters I’ve unlocked. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but it’s still broken. I would hate to delete it but if I can’t play what’s the point? I’ll hang onto it a little longer but if nothing changes weellll 🤷‍♂️. It’s a great game don’t get me wrong! Hopefully it works for you.

Glitches and my stupidity. The game itself is fun, the pixel art is amazing and the limit break movies are amazing. But due to 2 recent glitches it’s gone down hill slightly for me. I’ve played the game for 2 years and was having fun. You’ve probably heard it in other reviews but the claim all bug annoyed me a lot, and then came this current update where at a certain point every time, my game would just freeze. I didn’t know what my account was linked to but still deleted the game and redownloaded it, checked everything my account could be on but it was gone. Don’t know how to recover 2 years of work but I guess I’ll make it through. The games fun

Good game made bad by Gumi/SE greed. This has been a game I loved playing for quite some time. The pull rate for the highest rarity units is a dismal 3% and of that only a 1% chance to get the banner unit you want. Now that 7* units are becoming meta you need two of them to be useful. This would be good with a proper unit of choice(UoC) system like the Japan version of the game has but the global version gets half the UoC tickets JP gets and we have to wait for the banner to end to use them for the new units. The terrible bundles as of late compound the issues of the publishers greed. This game can be a lot of fun but with the new meta coming in and no reliable way to pull duplicates, as were on pace for 1 UoC per year when japan gets 2-3. They do not give enough free “premium” currency or tickets through the story to reliably pull the 7* you want without hoarding and skipping at least a months worth of banners if not more. Greed will be this games downfall as JP gets a ton of incentives for playing while the global players are treated as Gumis wallet.

Very good storyline but too tedious at this moment. I am a Final Fantasy fan so no doubt I like the game. I have been playing it for two years. I got many powerful units such that completing the game is quite easy. But now it turns out too tedious: too many units, weapons, abilities and choices. I have a huge selection problem whenever a new week comes because of new challenge rules. The game doesn’t offer any useful sorting/filtering when the number of 5* options raises to a few hundreds. Too many types of challenge also makes me tired. I think the game has reached it tops; it has very little room for creativity at this point; and it is about time to close the project . The game has been in service for 3 years. And it is already a wonderful result.

Best of the worst.. This game is probably one of the most in depth of these types. Strategy and gameplay are thought out and in depth. It’s what brave frontier always wanted to be. That said, sadly just like brave frontier, all the best chars are locked behind absolutely terrible gatcha %’s. As tempted as you might be, spending money for summons will 100% be a waste of your money. Use the tickets and lapis they give you, and fight the urge to give them money. So many of the mid to low tier chars are 4* now so even those higher rolls will likely screw you out of your hard earned money for a SEVERELY SMALL % of getting someone who is actually S tier. Unless you have like a secret bitcoin fortune and $$$ to waste, and then go nuts I guess. TL:DR - The avg. player will massively enjoy this game until they spend actual money on it.

Disappointing. I’m a big Final Fantasy fan, and I really enjoy gacha style games, so when I heard about this game I was really hopeful, but ultimately disappointed. The interface feels extremely cluttered. Lots of icons on the home screen that all have a red indicator with a number in it. Usually that means there’s something new, but in this game it means there’s a bunch of stuff they want you to buy. On other screens, like the character screen, there’s so much going on that it can be overwhelming at first. Even something that should be simple, like viewing and changing a character’s gear, seems hidden and overly complicated. Right from the start you get some maxed level, super strong character that takes away all the challenge of the game. I was taking down bosses in one hit. That’s not what I expect from a Final Fantasy game. I ended up uninstalling this game after only a few hours of game play, and much of that was waiting for it to download assets. I picked the option for it to do the download during the tutorial, but I guess it ignores that option and waits until the end of the tutorial to do the download. It was also downloading much, much slower than my internet connection. And even after that huge download, it seemed like every time I went to do something it needed to download another megabyte or two.

Amazing game but one major problem. So overall, I’ve been playing this game for a long time now. It’s one of my favorite games ever so I decided to purchase the Mythril Chest because I was interested in the things that were in it. I enter my card information and all that but when I purchased it, it said that my order got cancelled. Now, I thought I would not be charged for it since it got cancelled, but when I went to see my bank account, it got charged. So here I am, pretty much freaking out because I just lost money that I used to buy something yet I never got the Chest that I purchased. Please Square ENIX, help me with this problem because I either want the refund or my chest that I bought with my own money.

It’s been a consistent roll downhill. The 5th anniversary just started and with the latest patch the game is literally not functional in core game play areas, it will crash the app. The development of this game has always been sloppy but this shows a clear lack of regression testing, integration testing and just basic attention to detail in the software development process. I would not recommend this game going forward, find something that isn’t on the way out and where the developers care. If you can look past the fact that the game is unplayable the recent trend is creating new problems and selling the solutions and calling it new content. They did this once with “break bars” and now with the Morale mechanic with new units being released who interact with it. It’s hard not to feel jaded seeing these directions.

Games is bad.. You get 60,000 lapis for playing the story if you save them up. There aren’t always good banners. Even if you save tickets and lapis for a banner your not guaranteed the character you want, even if it’s drop rate is higher than other units. They have special banners but those can be expensive, so if your a free to play it’s not worth it. The game is not beginner friendly and you will miss out on a lot of you don’t have a lot of these 5 star base units. The game is not worth playing if you don’t have some money, free to play you can get places with 3-4 star base units but 5 stars are needed. With the new 7 star added In it’s even less beginner friendly unless you have money. If your a fan of final fantasy and want to risk disappointment then enjoy. I personally have gotten some enjoyment but the game isn’t fun if you want higher units.

Good Game, Endless Downloads. This game can be fun. They’ve done a great job at providing a lot of content, many chances to pull great characters, and amazing music to listen to while enjoying the visuals. However... Every time I open the game every day there are so many things that need to download. A minute here to download this, then the title screen, then new updates to download, back to the title screen because there’s a new app update, back into the app, more downloads. It seems like this is every day. Honestly, I’ve spent more time waiting for all the content to download than actually getting to play it. I don’t have 20 minutes every time I open the app. I want to play right away. If you need to have us download things, please start putting the download in the background while we at least get our daily login stuff.

Cool game. It’s a great game but my only problem is that they make the ffbe characters better than the other ff characters I think characters like squall , cloud , zidane and tidus should be one of the more powerful characters but that’s my opinion the game has to many characters to begin with you guys should give a period where all the old characters come back like the kh characters to help free to play players and beginners a chance to equal the playing fields and give them a fighting chance in the arena and also enhance their the gaming experience also give vortex events for different rate of players most of them can only be completed by elite players or paid players I love the game overall it’s pretty good just needs a few tweaks

Beautiful-looking garbage heap. I wish the ports/remakes of the SNES-era RPGs looked this good. The craftsmanship is excellent, but the pay-to-win game design ruins everything. The story is pretty standard JRPG melodrama, and a major part of the appeal comes from the ability to unlock characters from other FF games. These characters have no bearing on the story, but they can be used in battle. Most of the game’s effort/reward system involves gaining additional tickets to summon more characters. Rarer characters are usually more useful, and current endgame is pretty much just hoping for the best characters and min-maxing them. The game also features a constantly-refilling meter that determines how much longer you are allowed to play. More valuable rewards come attached to missions that consume more of this meter. There are some particularly difficult missions which are ostensibly optional but have exclusive rewards that are essential to the aforementioned min-max. Most of these missions consume around 4 hours’ worth of mission meter, and they typically either destroy you quickly with bad RNG or drag the fight out for an obscenely long time. You will find yourself constantly looking up information on the wiki and spending more time adjusting your party and equipment than you will spend actually fighting. If you’re a series superfan, it’s a nice nostalgia trip at times, but money is better spent elsewhere.

Avoid at all costs.. I've played since release and have been a Final Fantasy fan since 1987. Simply put, Gumi should apologize to Square-Enix for abusing the Final Fantasy IP like this. The game has no balance. Either you win a battle without trying or you get killed instantly. There is zero sense of accomplishment as any top tier character or gear you get will be replaced monthly and you get to blindly grind out whatever flavor of the month Gumi is selling. Additional content to the game is frequent as is maintenance that runs over schedule. Which is usually followed by maintenance to fix major game breaking issues due to a complete lack of testing or QA. Once upon a time this game was fun and the story was neat. I'm not sure if Gumi hit the sales numbers to keep the license for an extended period of time, if they've just shifted resources to another title, or if they just got bored but this game has decidedly lost any and all enjoyability.

Nostalgia! American FF2 fan!. When I first started playing, I was burdened with problems. Among these issues were: I was unable to swap party members, I was hp bugged and my squad wouldn't perish, instead they would drop to 1 hp and keep fighting, and lastly, I couldn't redo story mode missions to acquire materials. Upon one request through the help desk, my issues were fixed within an hour and I could enjoy the full extent of the game! Thank you so, very much! Now I can play as my all time favorite character from the Final Fantasy legacy, Cecil, the dark knight! Amazing! There is SO much to do in this game. It's kept my attention going for days on end! My other games are sitting on the bleachers getting cold! 😃

A must play for the fans of the FF series. Every mobile game nowadays has paid transactions, this game is very generous with the paid currency it gives out for free. Basically anything good can be bought by a free to play player. They have some bundles but it’s really nothing you would be upset about not buying. The way you get new units is with summoning at random. Many times there are special banners with really game breaking units, but it’s not all gambling. You can choose to go for this guaranteed banner, which will cost you a lot of resources, but it only takes about a month to get the amount you would need. So unlike many many other games, even by square or gumi, it’s very very f2p friendly. The story is really great! It could have very well been a FF gameboy game with a little restructuring and some other changes. All of these old reviews are just that, old and outdated. What ever problems they might have had, they have fixed it while removing the “must gamble for the unit” model. So if you really love FF and the classic gameplay you must get this game!

A Game That’s Actually F2P Friendly. I’ve been playing for about a year and a half and I don’t regret downloading this game because it’s very nostalgic to see versions of my favorite Final Fantasy characters I grew up with. This game gives great ways to farm gems and use them on the characters you want. It’s also not insanely difficult to get many NV units since there are so many, so you have a better selection pool when using your gems on any character banner. The story is interesting and this game is frequently updated so this game never gets overly boring. Great game, definitely consider giving it a try.

The game is fun, but.... I loved this game. I used to play this for hours on end everyday. The story was fluid and engaging, the characters you could get were interesting, and it was fun to grind out mats and fighting challenging enemies. Just make sure you save your Player ID somewhere. I hadn’t played the game in a couple of years, and figured I’d try it out again. See what I missed. Well, the sign-in method was a bit different, and after signing in, it would take me to a tutorial. All of my game data from before was gone, including event summons and all that. I didn’t link my account because at the time, I thought it was already linked to my GameCenter data. That’s my mistake. I’m not going to make a new account to play, though. It’s a really good game. It’s fun, rewarding, and challenging when you get to a certain point. I just wish I had the foresight save my game data.

A honest review.. The game is mediocre. But it does start off fun, especially with the summons. A person can waste a lot of time on the game which is fun too. Nevertheless, the probability of summoning characters should be increased for 6* units. For example, the distribution of probability is way off(for those of you who understand that). They will advertise, “Summoning for Noctis has increased drop rates.” But they don’t specify. If his drop rate is .01 and they increase it to .02 well they aren’t lying but they are being deceptive in order to persuade a player to spend lapis. Also, descriptions of items can be extremely vague sometimes, which adds a tasteless element to the game as well. But if a player spends no money and does not mind the repetitive and boring game play sometimes, you will like the game.

Jumped the Shark. After more than two years I’m finally throwing in the towel. Seeing my favorite FF characters in a new world was fun for a while, but recent changes (7*, ads) have made very clear one unfortunate truth: this gacha is not just pay-to-win, it’s practically pay-to-survive. The arena has been broken for months. The story is poorly written/translated and the content is perpetually predictable. The developers can’t seem to grasp the concept of QA but if they make a mistake in the player’s favor they shut the game down for hours on end. All of this adds up to one sad conclusion: the game is no longer fun. I’ve been playing since launch but since the 7* release I can no longer compete. I’m not willing to spend ridiculous amounts of money to keep up so I’m deleting the game for good. Save yourself some time (and money) and find another FF title that isn’t a shameless cash grab. I know I will.

Information overload. I loved playing FF games in the past and heard good things about this one, so I decided to give it a try. The initial story seemed to be solid and the first few tutorial battles introduced things at a good pace, but then it just shifted gears to light speed and there was just no keeping up with all the pop-ups trying to tell how to do everything. And even with all the information, it did not tell me anything about what to do with the 8 heroes it just had me summon. It also kept hammering me with reminders to do the starter quest for a powerful character and then told me I was not eligible for that quest when I tried to start it. The point of a game is to have fun and my initial experience is anything but fun. There are plenty of other free or inexpensive games out there that are much more enjoyable than this mess.

There was a hard pay wall.... But it's gone now your more likely to get a 5 star within a 10+1 summon or 25 tickets the rate up really did this game wonders for the better the only real problem I have is locking the best unit in the game behind limited status, and it was when jp had the rate ups, but we didn't. I'm sure it will come around again if you want to do well as a f2p guy such as myself I recommend you save your tickets for units you need 4 star based if your just starting out and save like 50 tickets for a hard summon for a 5 star unit. Hope this helps. They give out free stuff often just log in and play everyday for at least 5-10 mins. Do the dailys and arena as they give you 90 lapis daily for free it adds up quick.

Good gameplay, poor quality control. So if you like final fantasy, simple rpg combat and amazing pixel art, this game is amazing. However every time I load the game up it has to go through an absurdly long download. I'm not sure if this is because of my phone, but either way it kills me to have to wait 10-15 minutes just to briefly play a mobile game. Like many other games of this collectible random unit styles this game tries to nudge you into making real money purchases so you can afford the insanely expensive unit rolls. The amount of lapis that you can earn isn't enough to supplement any real draw power. You'll be lucky to get one big pull in every few days. I feel like pricing needs to be fairer, or earnable currency needs to be easier. The quest system and dailies don't supplement this enough unlike other games in this style.

Loading Screen. I just started this game and from the get go, I’ve had to spend an inordinate amount of time waiting for the first two loading screens. I’ve read FAQs and Reddit posts about it, but it has never truly been a quick loading process. I don’t have any other trouble with other games, even the larger ones. This makes the game almost impossible to play at times unless I have 10-20 mins to wait for the first two loading screens. Seriously that long. When I do get to play, I love it. It took me a while to figure things out, but that has added to my interest. I’m not stressed about the other pay to win issues others talk about because I don’t plan to spend more than a few micro-transactions worth. If I could fix the loading screen issue, this would be my go-to game.

Great game, horrid customer support.. I'll start off by saying the game is actually a lot of fun. It has a large single player story which will keep you entertained for hours. You can stay free to play and still do rather well. God forbid you have any errors or bugs in the gam though. My game has been down for a while now, and I keep getting the same canned messages and lack of transparency as I did from day one. From the first email complaining of my problem, they had my ticket marked as resolved before they even did anything. A few days later they tell me the problem is fixed and my item is in the mail. Knowing that wasn't my issue, I still try logging in, and it's still broke. They had fixed a problem I didn't have. So like I said, great game, but you take a risk putting money into it, since it may become unplayable and they can't help you.

Great game marred by corporate greed and lazy QA standards. I love this game. I’m hopelessly addicted to it. The visual effects are great, the 2d sprite art style is charming, the back grounds are breath taking, the nostalgia hits you in all the right places, and the original story is actually decent. But this game is plagued with symptoms of corporate greed: horrible bundles with returns that prey on the uninformed and those who have too much to spend, a history of bugs and poor translation, and now, most recently, an ongoing debacle regarding the 7 star awakening system, namely the Unit of Choice tickets. If you’re considering playing this game, I cannot, in good conscience recommend that you spend any money on this game. Time and time again this company goes one step forward, two steps back and I recommend you don’t fall into this trap. Wait another month for Dragalia Lost or play Dissidia.

Bad company with no loyalty to community. If they are not responsible for an issue, they are not willing to help. I wasn’t able to login for 5 days due to Facebook having a website problem. It was making me start a whole new account when I’ve been playing for years. I waited 5 days to finally get a response that wasn’t a copy and paste response that actually helped me. After that I asked if they could forward me the rewards that I missed as a result. They forwarded me a daily reward thing that I purchased but refused to forward me the check-in rewards for each day. These issues were related and I feel it isn’t too much to ask. If FFBE/gumi aren’t responsible for the issue, they feel no loyalty to you as a customer and will not take care of you unless you pay for it. Hope nothing like this happens to you. Still feel like writing millions of bad reviews. They only want money. They look to cheat you out of anything they can.

Fun and Nostalgic with Gamebreaking Bugs. If you love Final Fantasy, you’ll probably enjoy this game. Unfortunately every decision made by the developer has the bottom line in mind - NOT the player. Bugs that accidentally benefit players are identified and patched within hours. Any other bugs—including ones that cause the game to become literally unplayable—get added to a “list.” That list is basically the Devs saying “eh we’ll get to this whenever we want which could be 2 weeks or 7 months from now.” Unless they sweep it under the rug and pretend it doesn’t exist which also happens frequently. Since the underlying game itself is actually fun, I’ll be happy to upgrade my rating to 4 or even 5 stars as soon as they get a halfway decent QA team Lastly, don’t fall for the shady loot box psychology. This game is 100% playable without spending a dime, but all the shiny flashing lights and RNG mechanics are designed to get you to open your wallet. It’s not necessary to spend anything to enjoy this game

Can’t do it. It’s extremely sad how much this “game” is a disgrace to the final fantasy game. I started playing FF games when I was a kid, starting with IV - and of course every major release since then, and even some of the smaller releases like Chocobo racer etc... This game has just slapped every final fantasy fan in the face and showed they didn’t care for us or the game at all. This is a blatant cash grab. This type of game should have some sort of third party regulator that checks and regulates what their drop rates etc are. And how much people can spend on the game. If tot want to make money off the game, just charge $20-30 for it and open it completely up for everyone who buys it. It has FINAL FANTASY in the name. All of us final fantasy nerds will buy it. CHRIST I’m buying a PS4 JUST so I can play the FFVII remaster. This is not only taking advantage of people that are willing to drop a little money on games, but also making things extremely frustrating and boring for people who just want to play the game. And especially for old school final fantasy fans who laugh at how incredibly ridiculous this game is. This isn’t a FF game. This is a FF themed Gacha gambling simulator starter pack. I guarantee we are going to see a spike in gambling addictions over the next 20-30 years because of the prevalence of these types of games, and these companies should be ashamed of themselves.

Deception using nostalgia. Plays like the old PlayStation ones. I used to love this game, even gave it 5 stars at one point. However, I have given up on getting any of the characters I want. I have recently just pulled (summoned) 129 times. I thought that maybe I'd have a chance, however I was completely mistaken. Not only did I not get the character I desired (which I've come to understand is a norm) I didn't even get a 5-star crystal. If you like to spend thousands of dollars on a mobile game than this is for you. Gummy you really should have put a ladder summon system in so you would actually be giving something to the people that give you money. I have spend more than enough money on this game and feel for all the people that continue to get led on by you. I will have to say that I've already given too much money to quit so abruptly, but don't expect another dime from me.

Too many updates for the casual player. I literally spend more time downloading daily major updates than the time it takes me to play the game. Not only is it a waste of my time, but also my data. I want to love this game so much, but there are too many flaws for my liking. Finally get that unit with that awesome useful ability? Guess what? Every boss that you’ll actually need it for is immune to it. This type of thing is a major letdown. The tactics are either just mass attack or mass health, no other tactics. It’s either a cakewalk for simple rewards that are useless, or insanely hard having everything perfect and a perfect team made up of ten particular hard to pull units out of over three hundred, and still having to rely on random boss skills whether you survive or die.

Global version of this game is cash cow for them. Wanna make a full FF series protagonist team consist Cloud, Squall, Tidus and etc? Yes you can in this game! But expect shell out $200 per feature character on each banner to even have chance to get them 7* which requires two copies of rainbow(1% banner rate) and if you want to fully utilize your favorite unit with exclusive STMR which requires FOUR copies of the same unit which will cost you around $400~600 depends on your luck. Good thing FFBE had a solution for F2P players by implementing “Unit of Choice” ticket which can be earn by playing game but in global they even nerf that by taking away some free to earn ticket and add a ticket to cash bundle which we gotta pay to get it.. If you want nostalgic memory lane go buy your self PS3 or full FF package from iTunes and it will save you money and headache. I have been hardcore fan spending close to $4-5grand to this game and seeing how they treated GLB player make me puke.

Amazing game (Ignore all bad recents). Every game has bugs , idk why people become so critical. Also the smart ones don’t pay $ at all to these types of mobile games (unlike these pay2win losers on mobile games). All you need to do is grind the game , do story mode and you’ll get tons of lapis to save up for the next big event. I’m rank 80 and I can manage to hold 10-20k lapis in a month or less and not have a single problem, I have not spent a dime on this game and been playing this game for 2 years now, way better then brave frontier since it’s a dying game and more strategic. The summoning characters aren’t bad either , just be smart on summoning and research if they’re really worth getting for your team. Overall , amazing Final Fantasy game , and hope square enix keeps it up!

Great but a few major issues. 1. Some of the more recent events/ story areas seem to have gained a “True SSS victory” requirement or instant failure otherwise. 2. A lack of incentive to play the story beyond a certain point due to spending the in game NRG for events or resource grinding instead. 3. Due to the introduction of NV units, both the 3* and 4* units have been taking a backseat and not being shown the love they deserve by awakening them to higher rarity levels like 7*. 4. The current trust master and super trust master earning systems is a little outdated and needs to be upgraded to take advantage of the NV units like, increasing the amount of trust earned from the trust moogle cave and increasing the number of T.M.C. expeditions. 5. The co-lab events, while fun are, at times infrequent and inconvenient when players don’t have the lapis to pull the top featured units. 6. Certain trust master rewards are locked to the unit that gives it or a select group of units, if it was the STMR that’s one thing, but for exclusive TMRs you need only a “X” amount and sell the rest that you obtain. Otherwise this game has been great up to this point and I would recommend it to those who enjoyed the series.

Read and update quickly!!!. So I love this game but a recent update has not let me continue my story part of this game so if i go off from the story part to do a quest or a vortex mission or something like that it cancels my mission and the shade goes like a dark grey and i can’t click on it and also when I try to give up on a mission or battle I won’t let me give up Oh and pls update soon I love this game and it also won’t let my characters die which I like but it takes so much longer to kill enemy’s I left my phone on for 4! DAYS! to complete a vortex mission and it wouldn’t let me give up And it also doesn’t let me go to the home menu it just takes me back to the island and I can’t continue the story because it won’t let me click on anything other that the places where u can walk and do quest but to do quest u have to be able to go places so please fix this quickly I want to play ASAP and I know I’m not the only person with this problem my brother has it too Oh and PLEASE ADD CLOUD TO THE US SERVERS SOON Thank you

Amazing JRPG, always expanding. This the best F2P model.. as you can get everything without spending money.. The game itself is a beautiful and fun story which is constantly expanding. FFBE is updated every week with new events, rewards, trials or story events.. If you like an old school JRPG with all of your favorite and new Final Fantasy characters.. then this game is for you! The start of the game is a little slow and progressively gets better the whole experience.. After a year and a half of playing I can say with confidence that this has been one of my favorite games of all time and is definitely Game of the Year for me last year and possibly this year! Good Luck and Have Fun.. enjoy the wonderful world of Lapis and the generous developers who care passionately about their product FFBE

Not very user friendly. I have been playing the game for a little over a week now and I can say I’ve been having a decent bit of fun. But I have two big problems with this game. 1 is lapis gain. At the beginning of the game I didn’t have this problem, getting 20 lapis for first mission clear, and then an additional 30 if you complete the other side missions. I could do Summons within a reasonable time, but in the later story, they replace the 20 lapis clear reward with a random consumable item. Why!? Late game, it is much harder to do Summons. 2 is the awakening material, specifically for 6 star characters. Nothing I have done as of yet (besides beginner quests and the first homunculus event) has given prismatic horns, calamity gems, calamity writs, fairy writs, etc. I have been stuck with the same 6 star team since day 3. Overall decent game, just hard to stay with it when the things you need are scarce.

Best game on the App Store! But..... Honestly this is the best game in the App Store. It has such a final fantasy feel, and though you need to invest money to increase your odds of getting good random characters, it’s not actually necessary to enjoy the game. There’s only one part that even faces you against others which you don’t need to do and the rest you can get good enough units though the freebies the game automatically gives you. But my lower stars is honestly the size. I get that there’s a lot of game here, but it’s unfeasible to even open this on data. It downloads 20+ Mbs almost every time you open the app. On a slow connection that’s nearly impossible and on data you better have no high speed cap. And it obviously takes up a lot of room. You won’t notice at first but you will eventually. I normally would just have silently dealt with these problems like I have for the years I’ve played this. But I lost out in at least two days worth of daily rewards because it needed to download a large amount and I was on my data so effectively couldn’t use the app for days. Outside of that though this game is they’ll outstanding. There’s a ton to keep anyone occupied. Whether it’s collecting units or climbing ranks or focusing on the story. It’s more than a dime a dozen mobile game for sure and honestly better then some final fantasy official mobile ports of actual games.

As a veteran player.. I’ve been playing this game for a while now. Yet now that I have experienced more of this game, I see more flaws. Once again I’ll say it’s lots of fun with great characters, modes and story. But it’s not as consistent in its excitement. I once said I wish it didn’t have to be a guaranteed 5 star summon to get a 5 star because it’s drops are so low... and I’ll say it again! It is still lots of fun even after all this time but I need to address one more thing. The battle music is the same. I wish throughout the game the battle music would change. I’m not saying make more original masterpieces, You could just through some old FF battle music in there... but I wish there were just more than two battle songs and a boss fight theme
