    Mobius Final Fantasy is a good RPG with card game elements, but it is not the true Final Fantasy that you've been waiting for.

    Fun JRPG with a fair amount of complexity, marred by sub-par story and too many currencies.

    If you can’t get enough Final Fantasy in your life and don’t mind the free and social RPG aspects, then Mobius is a decent addition for your collection.

    It might not be the Final Fantasy you want, but it's a Final Fantasy you should definitely try.

    Mobius should have been the title capable of doing the mobile leap, but the textures are poorly treated and it is too complex for a mobile title.

    A good enough RPG for mobile platforms. But not enough for a Final Fantasy game.

    Another fun but not perfect Final Fantasy designed for mobile devices. Really spectacular and nice to watch to, but too linear and repetitive in the long term.

    With over the average graphics and music for a mobile game and a well crafted battle system, it's a pity that the game limits itself to be a continuous succession of battles. The characters and plot, despite the big names behind it, also lack charm. But for some random battles while commuting it's definitely a great option for Final Fantasy and RPG fans.

    Mobius delivers a good mobile Final Fantasy game, clever and well designed. It may get repetitive, but it's worth a try.

    Mobius Final Fantasy isn’t the most complex game in the Final Fantasy series, but does offer the core elements in an on the go package that is worth picking up.

    If you’re looking for a new mobile Final Fantasy that plays like its console brethren, you’re going to be sorely disappointed. But if you need something mindless and fancy-looking to kill time? You could do much, much worse.

    Game starts out really addicting. The music, graphics and nostalgic characters from the FF universe are absolutely phenomenal. The onlyGame starts out really addicting. The music, graphics and nostalgic characters from the FF universe are absolutely phenomenal. The only unfortunate problems are the battle system and item shop, all completely RNG based. Your job cards, ability cards and elemental orbs are what that determine a winning battle. With that being said, I'm splitting my review in three parts.

    First of all, your avatar deck build. You can easily get ability cards free by playing the game, but free stuff are almost always useless later in the game. If you want to do challenging quests, you have to gear up. And to do that, the gasha shop is the only way to look into. However, everything in the shop is over-priced and again it's luck based, you don't always get what you want for a summons.

    Secondly, The gameplay is very mediocre and redundant. Even worse, if you don't have the required amount of elemental orbs to use an ability, the fights can be very tough depending on what enemies you are facing. I cleared the game up to Chapter 3 Part 1 and so far you can do all the basic quests with standard deck builds. Sadly, after clearing the story quest, everything else is just pure skillseed grinding. Not interesting at all for an RPG, even being developed under Square considering the industry is known for its fantastic RPG creations.

    Lastly but not the least, the aspect of the main storyline is very shallow. Majority of the featured characters are shady, boring and unapproachable. Mobius FF is an attempt to recreate the universe of the first original FF game back in the 90's, since we see Warrior of Light, Princess Serah and Heretic Garland, and then mixed with cross-over themes from other FF titles. Sadly, this game fails to demonstrate a clear plot and there are just too many loopholes. At this point, I'm only curious of Garland as a mysterious figure and appears to aid the avatar on the quest, but based on his older original biography, I won't be surprised to see him turning antagonistic some time in the future patches. Other than that, everyone else is just mellow-dramatic, most notably Echo which I really despise.

    Overall, this game isn't worth any time to kill even for an mobile app game. The soundtrack and maybe graphics are the only thumbs up, yet everything else is straight disappointment. I really want to rate this game a good score, but there are simply too many drawbacks for such decision.    … Full Review »
