    As a mobile game it's ok. As a free mobile game it's pretty good. But that's just comparing it to mobile games. Reading the paid and home reviews you'd think this was "the real deal" in terms of FF strategy titles for mobile devices. It isn't. It, like 99.9% of mobile games is as deep as a spit puddle designed for 10 minute play burst before coming a repetitive bore-fest.
    But as that

    But as that applies to just about all mobile games - and at least this one is free, then I suppose if we are just marking against it's peers in the handheld market. It deserves an average score. If this was a console or PC game It's get 1, maybe 2 at a push.

    Not 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.

    It is a great game for Final Fantasy fans. You get to hear classic music and see characters as if they were 16 bit sprites. The problem comes with getting new weapons and limit breaks. You need to spend Mythril to get anything decent and even if you spend 50 at once to get 11 weapons and/or armor, there is no guarantee that you will get anything 5 star. I still can't get any of the Level 2It is a great game for Final Fantasy fans. You get to hear classic music and see characters as if they were 16 bit sprites.

I still can't get any of the Level 2 Cap Break Crystals because I don't have any good weapons or Limit Breaks. If they fix it to where the weapon gains are much more balanced in your favor, I can easily call this a fun time killer. If not, it is still fun but you don't get the full enjoyment of seeing all the cool Limit Break attacks. If you are a fan of the Final Fantasy franchise, give it a look. I wouldn't spend any money on anything tho. Expand

    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.
