‘Final Fantasy VII’ for iOS

06 Sep 2015 • toolsandtoys.net

Fast-forward to today. Final Fantasy VII is now available for iPhone and iPad, which seems crazy to me. It’s a direct port of the PC game rather than the Playstation version, but the story is the same. How could I resist?

As it turns out, everything I loved about the original is still there, but there are some weird choices. For one, there’s an ever-present toggle to disable random battles, which defeats the purpose of like half the game. Also, in the menu a setting exists that maxes out all your characters and gives you unlimited money. Huh?

Huh indeed. Weird. Doesn’t sound like any Final Fantasy game I’ve ever played.
