The Kingdom of Baron sent their elite airship fleet, the Red Wings, to attack the surrounding countries. Distressed by his mission, Cecil, a dark knight and captain of the Red Wings, decides to fight against the tyrannical Baron with his trusted friend and his paramour at his side.

*Fixes to a bug where enemy action speed would become slower than originally intended in some situations.
*The length of time taken before the first action is made has been reduced for both allied and enemy characters.
*The amount of EXP received from enemies has been slightly reduced overall.
There is a possibility that the above three changes will make battle difficulty feel slightly harder than before.
We are very sorry to make updates that affect the overall game balance in this way, but they are intended to fix bugs to bring the game’s behaviour closer to how it was originally intended, and also to allow new players to experience the game in the best state possible.
Thank you for your understanding.
*The enemy item drop rates have been adjusted so that rarer items are now dropped more frequently.
*Some flying enemies have been animated to hover up and down in the air.
*A visual effect was added where the screen flashes if an allied character’s attack scores a critical hit.
*The time taken when transitioning between screens after escaping from battle has been reduced.
■ Alterations relating to maps and events
*Alterations have been made so that weapons and armour are sorted into attack (or defence) power order within their type category when using the auto-sort function on the menu screen.
■ Bug fixes
The following bugs have been fixed.
We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience that these issues may have caused.
＜Battle related issues＞
*Battles would sometimes not progress correctly under specific circumstances.
*Some enemies would act unnaturally under specific circumstances.
*Sometimes odd actions would be initiated when using auto-battle under specific circumstances.

FINAL FANTASY IV Reviews
We love this game so much but it would be so much better if it had controller support!
We love the pixel version of this game. Its beautiful, and the soundtrack is wonderful. This is the first version that felt closest to playing the OG SNES. Im loving the nostalgia of playing our first FF again. Our only complaint is the rare drop rate. While the rare summons are easier to get, the rare weapons and armor are so difficult. We are at the point were we think the Artemis Bow does not exist. Im at lvl 99 now and probably farmed at least 2000 Selene Guardians.
We love this game but it would be better if we could use a controller with it.
We’ve been playing square games for years, and its a pleasure to continue. Controller support is whats missing from this great legacy of games!!
Wish it wasnt just touch play.
Would be nice if you could use the backbone controller.
Square Enix continues its trend of questionable decisions. Is it really the ULTIMATE way to play this classic game if we cant even use a controller (backbone or otherwise) with it? Get it together SE!
There is absolutely no option to play the game in portrait mode. We hate using landscape. There was no warning that we would be forced to use land scape viewing only. Fix this. Its a mobile game, we should be able to play with one hand if we wanted to!
Im okay with onscreen controls generally, but this is god awful. The graphics are beautiful. It looks like the wonderful PSP port of this game. But why, dear lord, is it so difficult to control? We were disappointed that the version of Final Fantasy games you had in the store was no longer available, so all our save data was lost coming to this version. We created a new AppleID in divorce, but we finally decided Id buy them (again) just to be presented with a prettier version we can barely play. Our character wants to move all over the place. We dont mind the onscreen text appearance as some do, but These controls have got to be fixed. Also, why no Spanish translation? 30% of Americans speak Spanish? The sad thing is, we know none of this is going to be addressed. This port has been out for a while. We saw and ignored the bad reviews because we really missed the story and music from this game. Alas, we dont know if Ill be able to replay it on our iPhone. Our only hope is maybe Apple TV with controller support? Ugh. Why couldnt this just be a clean direct port of the perfection of the PSP perfect port?
Game is great but needs controller support.
Game needs controller support, we paid much more for this decades old game than we would any other new iOS game only for it to not be updated to modern accessibility. ADD CONTROLLER SUPPORT PLEASE.
The Master of IV achievement is bugged on this game just like with the other pixel remasters. If the final achievement doesnt trigger correctly it may get locked for you as well. Support was no help and we haven’t found a way to force it to trigger. The touch controls are janky. Tap to move works fantastic, unfortunately you cant use tap to move in hidden walls forcing you to swap to the touch joystick. Please add controller support! The older versions had it and the steam version of these has it! Ill change our review if these issues are ever patched.
Booted up the game after buying and there is no sound or music!!! Can someone tell us why that is?
A flawless remaster of a timeless classic. Its really a joy to play on iOS. It would be 5/5 if it werent for review bombers.
Please and thank you. We just bought this backbone controller and it is not compatible. Please make it compatible. Thanks.
Absolutely love the Pixel Remasters. These are perfect time capsules to our childhood. Everything is the same but with improved graphics and easy playability on mobile – you get the choice of touch controls or tap to move. If you want controller support, then we suggest you play on Steam.

Four for four !! Final fantasy 4 get a 4 stars. The PSP version is a straight 5 stars. The reason why we have to dock points is due to certain nuances that affects the game play experience. First, the text is rather small and difficult to read. Second, the directional pad is quite large and occupies space. Third, unlike the PSP version, there is no bonus content. Fourth and final, there is no controller support. All in all if you want to support square and want a copy of FF4 on your phone then its a decent buy, otherwise we would suggest to just replay the PSP version for a more complete experience. Did we get our moneys worth ? Tbh its a no, but nostalgia in our case has superseded common sense. Even the pixelated sprites are at best average. Unfortunately this is just a watered down version.
Please add controller support squareenix! Otherwise pixel remaster is great! Wonderful remixed music by the original composer. Graphics are nicely done. Extra features such as quick save and auto battle are a nice feature. Dont know why they havent added controller support. Old school gamers dont like touch controls.
A great version of this classic but please add controller support!
Great remake of a classic game. Two things that would make it five stars- 1, the Master of IV Achievement doesnt activate even when all other achievements are unlocked. 2. Included the lunar trials and being able to select characters at the end similar to the GBA version would be great!
Please add controller support for the backbone.
Is anyone else having trouble with this? Last achievement is the achievement for getting all achievements and it is still locked. Anyways. Good game. This port is too easy, but the interface is good. Would be nice to have more features like old endgame content, swapped music for original, etc. FIX ACHIEVEMENTS PLEASE.
It looks and sounds great, but there is zero challenge in the FF4 pixel remaster. SNES version was way more challenging, took twice as long to level up, and you had to level up to beat the bosses. You cant walk through the 4 elemental fiends with no sweat in the SNES version like you can with this. This version also has the least amount of content. The 3D version is better. Way more content and its challenging. With the pixel remaster you are stuck with super easy difficulty and a shorter game.
The on screen virtual game pad is awkward. Bluetooth controller support would be better.
The game looks great, and the music sounds good, for all intents and purposes, but some people actually want to play the game they remember, and this soundtrack does not have that same retro feel. It would be great to have an option to switch to the original sound, since that is a huge part of what made the original game so great, and is something that got us to purchase this app, which we probably wont play now.
This game is best played with a controller, like the original. We wish controllers were supported.
Would be higher but you will never get rare drops to drop even after over a 1000+ battles. They increased pink tail and now you can get it in 10 battles but if your farming more ribbons and protect rings dont waste your time farming youll never get any extra ones. Adding new game + and hard mode would be nice as well and controller support.
Great game but without controller support we regret our purchase and wish we bought it on PC instead or waited for a Switch version.
We want to use our iPhone as a handheld, and this is one of the games we miss most from our PSP. Square was so close with a perfect release but didnt add basic controller support. Add it in and this is five stars.
Love the game, but crashes frequently which gets in the way of enjoyment. Could be because were playing on an iPad? Anyway, Ill update this if they fix this problem.
Its probably worth 4 stars. The game is beautiful and has the best soundtrack of any version of this game. Im only giving one star because we spent 20 hours to grind all the achievements and the final achievement never unlocked. We have 29/30 achievements and the last one is earn all other achievements. Total joke. We dont recommend grinding for achievements because theres a chance you wont even get them. If they fix this bug Ill change rating to 4 stars.
The much older 3D remaster has controller support for mobile phones, and the PC port for this remaster has controller support, so we dont understand why this version doesnt. Was looking forward to playing this on our iPhone with gamepad, very disappointed to see it not supported.
Not at all sure why, in the year of our lord 2022, there is still a need to call upon games like this that natively supported controller to do so on iOS. Just make it happen! 5 stars if added.
This is a glitchy mess, but the worst thing is just how bad the directional pad is. It makes the game almost unplayable. Considering all the other games have the same issue, its gunna be a hard pass.
Dont waste money on this slop – No controller support – Very easy and watered down with zero challenge – Missing content from previous versions.
The music alone makes it worth. A joy to play on our ipad.
We were skeptical But the soundtrack is stunning. The subtle effects are great for quality of life. And the font, which looks terrible in screenshots, is extremely easy on the eyes in motion. Happy to finally complete our FF IV journey.
Plays well. Graphics look great and reminiscent of the classic SNES version. Only downside is that it seems to only be the easy version. For those unaware, on original release in Japan, an easy mode cart and hard mode. In the US only the easy mode cart was released. Later rereleases (like the PSP version) did include the hard version. While its nice to experience the game again closer to its original style, having hard mode available would be a welcome option.
The music is a huge upgrade from the original SNES version we played. We never played the mobile FFIV due to the 3D design that we found ugly. We are enjoying it greatly, partly from nostalgia and partly from the upgrades. We wish tap movement would go through tunnels, though. Font seems OK on our iPhone 12, but could be improved as well.
And with welcome, subtle changes to graphics and musical score. The UI is crisp and auto battle is also nice. That said, very disappointed at the lack of a Hard Mode option, and we do not see any NewGame+ mentioned anywhere. FFIV is a classic, but it is a notoriously easy game, and for replayability sake, we wish Hard Mode and NG+ were here. We also think there was a missed opportunity here to package The After Years within the remaster, as most people have never played or even heard of the sequel to FFIV. All in all, if youre a fan of OG FF, grab this, its clean and legitimately well done. We just wish there more options to tinker with.
Please update for controller support! We love this game and there are so many amazing controller out there for phones now.
