Fun and nostalgic, but not perfect

Had a lot of fun playing this game, really took me back to the days of grinding through Final Fantasy games, which I think is a perfect platform for iOS. Got through the game pretty quickly and was able to level at a good pace without too much wandering (its easy to power level at the end as there are a ton of encounters and all reap high exp - jumped 15 levels between the last castle and the final battle just trying to get there).

Unlike most of these reviews I thought the controls were just fine for a touchscreen and wouldnt have been any better with a d-pad. It was a little frustrating the first few minutes, but once you get in to the game it because almost intuitive - not perfect but it definitely worked for me.

Now the bad. Some of the cut scenes at the end didnt have audio, which is odd because the rest did. Had to look them up online to get the effect, which kinda sucked. The story didnt have the impact other RPGs have had, didnt really care when the party changed and some of these changes I think were supposed to be poignant. No twists that really took me and no real need for exploring or secret areas to find either (to my knowledge), which is something I like in my games.

However at $.99 this game was a steal - it fed all the cravings I had for a turned based RPG. Would definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking to get an old school "fix."
