APPLE TV SUPPORT
Sat Dec 14 2024 Luuthian
The game is okay, but the lack of ability to save anywhere is annoying. But moat annoying is yet another high profile RPG with no Apple TV support
Poor frame rate in battles, otherwise it’s easily 5 stars
Mon Dec 30 2024 VeeSatr9
Port is great except for the battle
scenes. The frame rates are garbage, I’m guessing sub 10fps? Please address soon because it’s an ugly blemish on an otherwise great game.
Great RPG Experience

Not sure what the fps or save complaints are about. Quick saving is easy, game runs great on my iPhone 16 PM. It’s an old game so if it wasn’t low fps I’d be disappointed. It also uses almost no battery to play
Wow

Amazing. Hard enough to keep me interested and a LONG story, I am sure I’m nearing the end and it’s been fantastic.
I normally skip storylines in games but this one has me captivated! 12/10
Thanks for the remake!

Tue Dec 24 2024 hatan1909
Game is ok. But the combats are so slow. Like if if was running at 10fps and I have an iPhone 16 pro. So not the device issue

Walkthrough
Starting the Journey
Begin as Cecil, captain of the Red Wings, in the Kingdom of Baron. After questioning the king’s orders, you’re sent on a mission that sets the stage for an epic adventure. Focus on mastering the ATB system early by timing your attacks and abilities.
The Tower of Zot
To rescue Rosa, navigate the Tower of Zot. Be prepared for tough battles, including the Magus Sisters. Use elemental weaknesses and ensure Tellah has enough MP for key spells, as this section is challenging, especially on Hard mode.
Gameplays
Mastering the ATB System
The Active Time Battle system requires strategic timing. Monitor the ATB gauges to decide when to attack, use magic, or heal. Fast mode increases the pace, adding challenge, so practice timing to avoid being overwhelmed by enemies.
Using Augments Effectively
The Augment system lets you transfer abilities between characters. Prioritize giving key abilities like ‘Dualcast’ to mages or ‘Focus’ to physical attackers to maximize damage output in tough boss fights like Dr. Lugae.
