    Game 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,    Game 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.    … Expand

    God this game is awful. Now as a whole mobile games are pretty much crap, but at least Final Fantasy Record Keeper and Final Fantasy Brave Exvius are halfway decent time wasters. Still pretty mediocre at best, but not awful. Now this game.... is AWFUL.

    Un free to play (et need to pay), il s'asseoit allègrement sur la licence et ne porpose rien d'intéressant

    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.

    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.
