    The other reviews are kind of old, so be aware that this game is currently not working very well on new hardware (crashes a lot on iPhone X). Also, there are visual glitches in some of the battle menus, and until it is updated (last update was 10 months ago) it gets 1 star for being the worst version of Tactics.

    Despite the good bits, its complexity makes it unsuited to quick play bouts on a phone. [Nov 2011, p.94]

    Final Fantasy Tactics is one of the deepest, most engrossing strategy RPGs of all time, but the iPhone is far and away the worst device to experience it on. The sluggish performance and blurry visuals of Square's iOS port make the steep price tag very hard to swallow.

    It's a quick and dirty port of the four-year-old PSP version of the game, which itself was based on a thirteen-year-old Playstation game. For fans of the original, you'll get pretty much the exact game you expect, albeit with some performance issues on some devices.
