    It has the holy trinity of fun turn-based gameplay, approachable, intuitive design, and pure nostalgia. What's not to love? 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.

    Best app out there in my experience. Fun, challenging, and loads of events. You don't have to spend a penny as mythril is easily gotten from every battle. I have every character up to date and all memory crystals for each one. I always have fun and put about 20 minutes into this game each day.

    This is undoubtedly one of the best F2P games I've ever played. The only F2P part here is the equipment and all. But the nostalgia and characters are completely unlockable without any payment AT ALL. Now this is what I really really like about FFRK. You don't have to pay for the nostalgia. And I have to say that I'm already very hooked, and not even half of the content is even releasedThis is undoubtedly one of the best F2P games I've ever played.

You don't have to pay for the nostalgia. And I have to say that I'm already very hooked, and not even half of the content is even released yet! I'm still waiting for the release of my favorite characters, from Shadow, Galuf and Bartz, to Gilgamesh and Lightning. But the wait is truly worth it, as well as this F2P game. I really recommend this game to many others, because FFRK isn't all about the nostalgia and all that. It's also about the party members, the combat, and your strategies for beating the tough FF bosses.… Expand

    I do not recommend picking this up since it's insanely addictive. Game servers (excluding Japan) are shutting down at the end of September 2022.

    Nostalgia, Old school turn based battle system (something that has been sorely missed from modern RPG's) and easy to play interface with lots of items and ways to level. This may be my favorite mobile game yet.

    Here's a game where you can re-live the nostalgic active turn-based combat system with your favorite FF characters. The whole gacha system can be **** sometimes, but that's their prerogative, I suppose. I won't lie, I spent a chunk of change trying to get a couple weapons, only to find that later on I'd get something even better for free; it's a gamble. So, fair warning, you needn't spendHere's a game where you can re-live the nostalgic active turn-based combat system with your favorite FF characters. The whole gacha system can be **** sometimes, but that's their prerogative, I suppose. I won't lie, I spent a chunk of change trying to get a couple weapons, only to find that later on I'd get something even better for free; it's a gamble. So, fair warning, you needn't spend any money to enjoy this game. Use the mythril you get on refreshing your stamina and grinding through instances.

    Another pro tip: if you're losing a battle, there's a little trick the community calls "S/L" (or "save/load"), where you force-close the app and re-load. This resets the battle starting from scratch, very useful if you just made a stupid mis-tap that could cost you the fight.

    Why give it such a high score though? Well, it delivers what it promises. Sure, at the end of the day, this is merely an ATB simulator with FF characters. You can spend money on it if you want, but it's hardly necessary for progression. You can make a dream-team of all white mages, all black mages, all beasts, all villains, all heroes, all from a certain series, anything you wanna do!

    Another reason I score this so highly is the sheer amount of content. I've been playing this game since release (global version) and I'm not even halfway through the main quests. The weekly events are enough to keep you busy, and since the early ones cost very little stamina and give you mythril in return (along with characters, growth eggs, memory crystals, etc.), you'll want to be spending a lot more time in the events. Be careful though, they ramp up in difficulty pretty quick. If you have any questions, the good folks in kongbakpao's chatango are friendly and helpful. http://ffrk.kongbakpao.com/    … Expand

    Final Fantasy Record Keeper is one of the best F2P games by Square Enix. This game brings back nostalgic memories of your favorite Final Fantasy series and characters in 16-bit graphics and gameplay like Final Fantasy VI. Even its storyline can bring you back memories. There's a lot of things you can do to get started and advance your way to different challenges.

There's a lot of things you can do to get started and advance your way to different challenges.

    Because it's a F2P game, there are microtransactions. You get a currency known as Mythril, and you can use it to revive yourself in battle with a boost, recharge your stamina, and summon stronger equipment for your characters to equip. Luckily you can get Mythril from daily logins and daily challenges, so purchasing Mythril is optional and not recommended.

    Of all the F2P games, Final Fantasy Record Keeper is worth downloading, playing, and bringing back memories in 16-bit.    … 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.
