User Reviews

Overall, players praise Final Fantasy VIII Remastered on iOS for a faithful FFVIII experience: solid battle system, memorable story and characters, decent touch controls, and soundtrack/cutscenes that hold up for its era. Some also appreciate the customization and multiple play styles. However, this appreciation is marred by persistent issues reported across reviews: app won't open or crashes frequently; severe stuttering/lag; overheating devices; and audio problems (missing or distorted sound).

Hello! Do not work on iPhone 14 Pro Max iOS 26.4.2. Fix it or give me back my money please .

Enjoyable way to play the game. Decent touch controls and it plays smoothly overall. Only issues I’ve noticed is that FMVs are choppy (poor frame pacing, not because of them being 15fps. The frame pacing is fine on the PC port), and transparent text boxes are just darker instead of being transparent. Playing on iPhone Air. Neither is a huge deal or detracts from the experience for me. Thanks Square Enix!
