User Reviews

Reviews show FF IV: The After Years is a solid FF IV fan-appeal title and a decent mobile port, with an auto-battle feature praised by veterans. However, it suffers from a lack of controller support, perceptions of incomplete content for the price, and pacing/story criticisms. Repetitive sections also dampen engagement. A subset of players additionally wishes for nostalgia-driven options like the original SNES music or sprites. Overall, it’s a mixed bag: worthwhile for fans, but with notable accessibility and completeness drawbacks.

Pros

Strong appeal for Final Fantasy IV fans due to authentic FFIV flavor and nostalgia.
Generally solid mobile port quality with solid gameplay.
Auto-battle option can simplify progression for experienced players.

Cons

Lack of controller or external controller support is the most frequent and persistent complaint across multiple reviews.
Perceived incomplete or partial content, with value concerns about paying for a non-complete version.
Story pacing and certain arcs (e.g., Edward, Parom) are criticized as dull or underdeveloped, reducing engagement.
Some sections feel repetitive or grindy, such as long underground areas.

Recent reviews

The Apple Arcade version does support controller this is super annoying.

If you’re a Final Fantasy veteran, you’ll probably get through 80 percent of this game on auto battle like I did. This game also makes heavy use of the underground waterway between Kaipo and Damcyan, which gets a little dull. I also could’ve done without the Edward storyline, as he’s still the weakest and therefore most inconsequential character. (His hover car is missing here, and that was the most useful thing about him in the first game!) A character I had been building gets killed off near the end of the game, which forced me to grind to get through. This is an apparently low budget project, as there isn’t much new material here. Still, this game is worth playing if you’re a Final Fantasy fan.
