Me in 1991 when I beat FFIV.

Yes. But I wouldn't recommend it. Pretty much everything about it assumes that you've played FFIV before , but there's no knowledge from IV that's strictly necessary.
You should check the download counts on Squares Games. They aren't mobile best sellers or anything but they do pretty darn well, especially considering that around half of them are ports.
hmmmm.
surely it can't be worst than mystic quest or xiii-2
I enjoyed IV, is this game really that much of a disservice to IV?
I might be a little sensitive but, that battle introduction spin started to make me feel sick.

People do.
Square Enix's games usually have some of the best UI's but then come things like these. It's probably because of Matrix's involvement, their UI's are usually more functional than they are pretty.
They did, but then he becomes good... again.
So I got this, only briefly played Ceodore's chapter, but I like it so far.
The cinematic cutscenes work really well but it's weird how they don't have VA. This was known already but it's still really jarring. The minimal doesn't work like in FFIV where you had to complete each one and you'd get a reward for 100% a map, instead here the maps are already completely filled out, though treasure chests aren't shown in them. Auto-battle now also speeds up battles, unlike FFIV DS where it didn't. The battles get really fast... like FFIVCC auto battle levels of fast. So far the game seems to be about the same difficulty wise but I've also played so little it's probably to early to really say yet.
Did anyone else buy it?
They were obviously aiming for that look. Personally I think it's actually kind of charming in all of its pixelated low-poly glory.
Also, one thing I forgot to mention was that now each chapter has its own set of available save slots. Ceodore's has three, but, others like the longer ones, have more.
Oh, and if you have FFIV on your device you get this:

Following on in the after years tradition then (original mobile after years used modded FFV/FFVI battle sprites for players* and assests from FFIV and FFI+II GBA).
*-Fun game to play is working out who the originals were.
Which reminds me, I hope they actually try with the monsters this time. Original after years was like areas to be tackled at level 21-30 you fight this set of monsters, level 31-40 you fight this set which lead to monsters being in illogical places and several tales in it became a bit repetitive.

that text in all of those IOS games look really bad. they can't change that? or do they not realize it?
It's a system font. I haven't updated my iPad yet to iOS 7, but if you do update you get a new font. Using a Jailbroken device should let you change the system's font to whatever you please though. In the Android versions it's the same, but they usually release all their media from the iOS versions.
I've already become used to it, but IMO that font is certainly better than the ones they used for the GBA/DS FFs and the one in FFIVCC.

Too bad it isn't the remake we all wanted. No 3D, no remixed/updated soundtrack, just the new shitty RPG maker sprites. FFVI deserved better.

seems like impressions say its still grindy, and the story is still bad (well duh). might be the first FF game i don't impulse buy on ios and not play lol.
I read the TA review but their reviewers are kind of terrible at RPGs... then again it also seems like there's not many other outlets who've published impressions/reviews or anything.

This reminds me that I actually need to play this on the PSP version.
I still haven't finished Ceodore's chapter since I've had things to do for uni and because I'm also playing Lightning Returns, but I think the game is a little harder? I'm not completely sure but I remember you could just auto-battle in the PSP version and in this one you can't, at least not all the time.
They also seem to have changed how Bands work, since now characters have affinity levels and in order for them to learn a Band they have to have their affinity levels be high enough. before you just had to Band using the correct abilities IIRC.

I dont want them to touch VI at this point
They can do nothing but ruin that masterpiece at this point
I am far more fond of all the FAN MODS for VI that exist that actually shine a spotlight on the games brilliance (the original was actually a buggy mess mechanically and is STILL the best FF)

No challenge dungeons? That's really lame.
I'm definitely sticking with my PSP version.

The 'H' stands for hentai.
I gladly buy any iOS game that is playable on my iPad 2 as long as it is a full game with no microtransactions and isn't a half-assed expereince (ie: IB2 or The World Ends With You).
Looks great, though I do wish it took more advantage of the graphical capabilities of the hardware.

Not that i want this game but i am not sure why SE did not port this to XBLA ,PSN and ESHOP. It's like free money , they should try it once at least.
Oh you edited
What? Isn't the Challenge Dungeons half the game?
