    At its core, WoFF is little more than a fan service title featuring a gimmicky combat system that is uninspired and feels more like a pokemon ripoff than a Final Fantasy game. Many mechanics are geared towards children and sacrifice complexity and compelling story and game mechanics in an effort to dumb down its own working mechanics to the lowest common denominator.

Many mechanics are geared towards children and sacrifice complexity and compelling story and game mechanics in an effort to dumb down its own working mechanics to the lowest common denominator. WoFF offers a chibi-style aesthetic that may be a turn off for some; however in all honesty it pairs rather well with the light hearted and comical approach the game takes with atmosphere and dialogue. The story is geared towards children and/or those gamers who really do not want complexity or dark tones in their games. In terms of comedy, the game is rather hit or miss. This is because of the Japanese reliance on exaggeration of movements and tones, a practice that does not always translate to a Western audience. Combat wise, the game is pretty much a Frankenstein attempt at combining Pokemon and Final Fantasy, which is just annoying and get in its own way as the game progresses. All in all, WoFF is a game for either the most dedicated Final Fantasy fans, Children, or someone who really wants a very light hearted game.… Expand

    Beautiful, eye and ear catching, fan service to the core. Superficial, boring, trivial, auto-fire and please-skip-the-cut-scenes all the way. It reminded my how I miss Squaresoft.

    Very bad game. The story is pretty much for children and the gameplay it's too simple and uninspired. Cute style, but that's all. The Vita version doesn't have any dub! That's ridicicoulous. Really disappointed

    A waste of time. Boring story and outdated gameplay, annoying voices (**** Tama) - returned to store after 5 hours, all I could handle. How I miss you Squaresoft...

    This game is amazing for Final Fantasy fans. Although, some of the dialogue is cringe-worthy.

    The reason I'm giving this a low rating is because they released a broken patch for the PS4 pro that blurs the entire screen. If I'm paying full price on release date I expect a good experience. I had to uninstall the patch to have a reasonable look to the game.

On top of it the story is unbearable dull, the protagonists are annoying, sequences are often drawn out and boring. There also are a ton of battles hard scripted for you to loose (even if you grind to be able to win them in theory the enemy will become invulnerable at 1HP). The combat mechanics are interesting, but everything else is just more annoying than interesting.… Expand

    this game was very poorly designed also the writers are bad and should feel bad. i got to level 55 before learning about champions and i wouldn't have found it if i didn't google it, for being a core part of the game that should never happen.

    A great JRPG that any fan of the series should pick up. It may get a little boring from time to time but with such a variety of content to master, how could you pass up exploring this colourful, lively, and fantastical world?

    A sort of “best of Final Fantasy” compilation that takes you on a nostalgic journey. [01/2017, p.41]

    There are many little bits to love in WOFF, but there’s far less cohesion than there should have been when it’s all thrown in together. [January 2016, p72]
