    Combining a respectful homage to its source material with a decent battle system and loads of unlockables, Final Fantasy: Record Keeper is the real deal in my book.

    Final Fantasy Record Keeper proves that the free-to-play approach to a historical series like Final Fantasy can be made in a right way.

    I didn’t expect this could happen, but Square finally released a mobile Final Fantasy game that is not a steaming pile of filth. [08/2015, p.78]

    An unnecessary amount of initial complexity can’t stop Final Fantasy Record Keeper from being a solid mobile game that offers a fun, original adventure peppered with iconic elements from the series’ past.

    Aside from that energy bar, Record Keeper is a Final Fantasy fan's dream mobile free-to-play game. The combat is simple, but well balanced and engaging, and the presentation and aesthetics are so authentic to the veteran series that it's impossible not to play and get a nostalgic rush.

    Even with its imperfections, Final Fantasy Record Keeper is a game you’ll gladly sink hours into as you fine-tune your party and play around with abilities and equipment.

    A good and exciting way to live again the best and the most classic battles found in the history of that great saga titled Final Fantasy.

    Probably the best Final Fantasy game on mobile and a good example of how to play fair with both nostalgia and free-to-play microtransactions.

    Final Fantasy Record Keeper will please many fans, but RPG fanatics wanting to sink their teeth into something may be taken aback by the initial lack of content available at launch.

    It’s not exactly the ultimate all-star gathering we might’ve hoped for, but Final Fantasy Record Keeper is a decent nostalgia trip.

    Final Fantasy: Record Keeper isn’t bad by any means, but it’s not substantial enough to recommend over any actual Final Fantasy RPG.

    Record Keeper isn’t offensive. It can sometimes be a little fun. But it’s not incredibly engaging.

You can add characters from different games to your team which is great. There is a stamina gauge, which I assume stops you from continuing with the game, but it refills quickly and has never run out for me. Any fan of the traditional Final Fantasy titles will fall in love.… Full Review »

    Not bad and not great. Super repetitive, desperately needs more content and things to do besides just dungeons over and over. Look at GranNot bad and not great. Super repetitive, desperately needs more content and things to do besides just dungeons over and over. Look at Gran Blue as an example of what a social rpg can be in terms of extra things to do. VERY heavy on the gacha and outrageous prices. The boss battles, nostalgia, music and ability animations are all really cool though.… Full Review »
