Defeating foes earns you the experience points you need to level up, which in turns grants you character slots to add more and more members to your party.
    Combat is based on the classic Active Time Battle (ATB) system of the FINAL FANTASY series. Every character possesses an ATB gauge that displays the time remaining until that character can execute an action. When the gauge is full, simply tap or drag your finger over the character to attack. Touch multiple characters in quick succession to experience exhilarating and fast-paced battle unlike anything you’ve ever played before!
    Once every three hours, the Fever option will appear. Once activated, you will be able to attack without waiting for ATB gauges to refill as long as the chocobo-themed music is playing. Deal as much damage as you can before the battle fever ends!    … Expand

    Final Fantasy All the Bravest is almost insulting to play, but it's not beyond redemption.

    An extremely dull and simple kind of Action-RPG with a great 8 bit graphic look, enjoyable OST… and clunky and boring gameplay.

    Fun and simple mechanics, pixelated retro charm and nostalgic music. This could be a fun little distraction if it weren't because the game is full of in app purchases, so much that this has to be the most greedy attempt on grabbing players money seen in a long time. Too bad.

    What could have been a pleasant trip down memory lane is merely a facade, and I have a hard time calling it a game at all. How does the same company that gave us Chaos Rings II give us this?

    This loose fragment of fan-service is priced as a Vita game and designed as a low-end iOS game. Square’s use of IAPs wouldn’t be a good model even if it were free-to-play. With the premium attached, All the Bravest is simply anti-consumer. It’s a big waste of a good opportunity to streamline.

    Square Enix has finally embraced the free-to-play model with Final Fantasy: All the Bravest, in what is almost a parody of the worst examples of free-to-play games.

    The stupid battles, in which you strike over the touchpad like a lobotomized baboon until you are forced to a break, serve only one purpose: To make as much money over in-app-purchases as possible.

    Final Fantasy All The Bravest looks great , has an amazing soundtrack and is a Final Fantasy game that I will always love to go back to. WaitFinal Fantasy All The Bravest looks great , has an amazing soundtrack and is a Final Fantasy game that I will always love to go back to. Wait you're telling me that this isn't really a Final Fantasy game. That it's just a cheap way of exploiting nostalgia to squeeze all the money they can get out of us. Oh....

    Final Fantasy All The Bravest is a Final Fantasy game in name only. While It may look like a classic 2-d Final Fantasy game and sound like one, let's just say it's not. I was lucky enough to get the game after Square Enix stopped charging 4 US American dollars for it. Just hearing about that pissed me off because after that if you really want to have any fun you have to pay for more hourglasses to instantly revive your party (like Pheonix Downs) and you have to pay money for the areas from FF7, FFX, and FFXIII. Also how'd you like to have up to 25 to 40 classic and iconic Final Fantasy Chracters on your team, well guess what they only cost a dollar EACH, and they are randomly picked every time so that means you could waste money on a Character you already bought.

    So now I want to bring up the "gameplay" Final Fantasy All the Bravest has to offer. You enter into battle with a maximum of 40 randomly chosen party members. They are taken from your pool of unlocked or purchased characters. You then swipe or tap your fingers to launch your party members at your enimies. That's right no strategy no though and not a lot of fun just randomly attacking and hoping that you win. All of your party members die in one hit meaning in some of the later fights you'll be and then out in like 25 seconds flat. If a party member falls you have two options: 1.You could wait three minutes for them to come back or 2.use or pay for an hourglass to revive them all instantly. Also if you have unlocked the maximum of 40 party members then guess how long you have to wait to play again exactly TWO HOURS before you can play again that's just stupid why not just kick you out of the battle and let you go grind some earlier battles. The only saving grace the gameplay has is fever mode. Normally after every attack your party member lands they have to wait for their ATB gauge to refill before they can attack again. But every 3 hours fever mode happens. While in fever mode you can just attack and attack until the mode runs out. Now this is the only form of strategy I can think of for this game. Here's what you do plan out your play sessions so your only play during fever mode I guess.

    So Final Fantasy All The Bravest is a CASHGRAB TO THE HIGHEST DEGREE OF THE WORD. Attempting to cater to the Final Fantasy fanbase and use our nostalgia blind kids inside of us to pay money for this **** It's sad so sad because if everything was free in this game I could excuse it and just say it's just a cute little mobile game. But no it may be free to play now but its pay to win.    … Expand

Collecting weapons was fun for a little bit of time, but the game quickly lost its appeal after having literally no depth at all. l give this game a 1 purely because you get to listen to the fantastic music of the Final Fantasy games, otherwise, l really hope SE does not allow garbage like this to ever happen again.… Expand

    All the Braves is one of the absolute worst offenders of microtransactions gaming has ever seen. It's possibly an even worse offender than TheAll the Braves is one of the absolute worst offenders of microtransactions gaming has ever seen. It's possibly an even worse offender than The War Z, which is pretty hard to do. Literally the entire game consists of you rubbing your phone's screen like you're relentlessly scratching a lottery ticket to attack enemies, which in turn is governed by an overly simplistic version of Final Fantasy's turn-based battle system. There is no non-linearity or adventuring to speak of; it's just battle after battle and so-on. The actual game is bad enough, but its reliance of microtransactions is what makes its very existence a potential offender of public decency. Literally every action in the game is governed by microtransactions, with only a few having free alternatives (all of which involving ludicrously long waiting times). Some enemies in the game require certain characters to defeat, and the only way you can get other characters is to pay money, and what makes even WORSE than that is that it's randomized, meaning that it can easily take you 35 payments to FINALLY get the character you want. What do you get out of it? A step closer to beating the game, but is it worth it? Hell no. This game isn't fun. It's not worth your hard-earned cash to purchase, and it sure as hell isn't worth it sustain.… Expand
