Flashy!

At first, I thought that this was a game where you fought monsters by swiping your finger up and down. Then, I realized that I wasn't the player, I was the game and that the player was actually Square Enix as they try to figure out how low they can set the bar on what is a game and still make money. Min/Maxing to the max! This is almost the Walmart of game design. Rock bottom gameplay with high, high prices.

With their other recent IOS games, I'm guessing that their next new title will just be a picture of a Black Mage that you press with your finger and it makes a click sound. You can buy additional random click sounds for $0.99. The special chocobo sound will be $3.99.… Expand

The game takes out all aspects that made the original games so interesting to play and leave the end product with only the graphics. While a party of 20 characters should be fun to manage it fails in any management and encourages you to cheat with swipes. Way to easy and a real let down of the series.

This is not a game. This is an insult to gamers' intelligence, and to exploit nostalgia. There are so many in-app purchases to nickel and dime you, and the game requires no skill; you just tap tap tap and that's it. This game really makes me fear for the future of Square-Enix.

Clearly Square has lost track of their fanbase. When I saw this, I was hoping that it would be a 16-bit iOS RPG with a hopeful multiplayer component. What was given was a $3.99 game that charges you $0.99 x 60 to just be able to play it without wanted to destroy whatever it is on. The only reason it gets a 1 in my book, the graphics gave me a reminder of when Square truthfully cared, in which they clearly don't.… Expand

All the Braves is one of the absolute worst offenders of microtransactions gaming has ever seen. It's possibly an even worse offender than The War Z, which is pretty hard to do. Literally the entire game consists of you rubbing your phone's screen like you're relentlessly scratching a lottery ticket to attack enemies, which in turn is governed by an overly simplistic version of Final Fantasy's turn-based battle system. There is no non-linearity or adventuring to speak of; it's just battle after battle and so-on. The actual game is bad enough, but its reliance of microtransactions is what makes its very existence a potential offender of public decency. Literally every action in the game is governed by microtransactions, with only a few having free alternatives (all of which involving ludicrously long waiting times). Some enemies in the game require certain characters to defeat, and the only way you can get other characters is to pay money, and what makes even WORSE than that is that it's randomized, meaning that it can easily take you 35 payments to FINALLY get the character you want. What do you get out of it? A step closer to beating the game, but is it worth it? Hell no. This game isn't fun. It's not worth your hard-earned cash to purchase, and it sure as hell isn't worth it sustain.… Expand

Not a game. It is a blatant money grab that clearly shows the kind of company Square Enix has become. Avoid, PLEASE avoid. You would be supporting more of this. The name of Final Fantasy is tarnished enough.

In very short: depressing cash-grab! I don't think lots of words are needed to describe the how bad this game is, but as the review requires it: The game itself is not an rpg at all, it has no story line, it has mindless gameplay where the only thing you have control of is to randomly swipe your finger around the screen and hope that it changes something.
