[Please read before playing]
* Entering or leaving vehicles such as cars and the Garden may occasionally get your character stuck between the vehicle and terrain features, or freeze the vehicle in place. This seems to happen more often when you leave your vehicle in close proximity to impassable terrain, or when you try to enter or leave your vehicle during certain scripted events. Currently, the only fix for this is to reload a previously saved game, so please make sure to save your progress often.
* Some locations may be difficult to navigate using the Speed Boost (x3). We advise you to turn off this feature in such cases.

Takes me back to being 14 yo! 😆 Completed FF8 without much trouble in this format. Took a few goes sometimes to get the party to eg. Climb ladders... and had difficulty with some of the forced tasks you need to do to advance through the game with the adapted controls (the worst of these was trying to rescue Rinoa in space!!) Now, I'm a bit disappointed my version of Android doesn't support VII or IX, as these were next on my list. Any plans to update them SE?

So it's unfortunate that they don't fix the bugs they are aware of. I suppose they are unable to or it is not worth their time. Regardless, the game functions adequately. I am playing it on Beam Pro w/ XREAL Air 2 Pro w/ Gulikit KK2. I could emulate the original or even obtain the apk for this, but that would be a hassle. This downloaded and installed in one minute. It claims that saves are uploaded to the cloud. If this feature functions properly, it adds value and justifies the cost.

Very nicely rendered, almost 100% worth it. Controls could be better, the calibration appears to be off because you have to tap just to the right of where the button is placed, even in a custom layout. I have a moto G stylus. Everything else is great! I owned this game for both PC and PS1 and am happy to be able to support the game and square enix again. I'd love to see some new releases with similar game and story mechanics. A fresh 50% nostalgia and 50% modern TBRPG would be spectacular!

Even ater 20 years, since it's 1st release, final fantasy 8 still a great game. But, i won't say the android port is a good port. I have this remastered one, on my switch and i would said it's good because it use controller. But, on android? Meh, it feels like played on the emulator. They cramped the virtual button on the screen, so, it's feel awful to look at. Moreover, the button, especially the "B" button is not too responsive, so it it really give a hard time, when you need to cancel choice.

It worked fine on my last phone, but ever since I upgraded, the game has been buggy. I started over, and it keeps an image of the bed from the infirmary on the screen, blocking your character. You can't see anything or move around really. This is my favorite game of all time, and I really want to play it, but these issues are making it impossible. Even at the start screen, the finger doesn't move. So, you don't know if you're loading a game, starting a new one, or loading the credits.

My favorite FF game and pretty well done including the updated character models. I'd leave 5* except that the touch screen controls are off. In order to hit the button I have to press to the right of the circles. Trying to input the codes on the Timber mission is not going well. Please fix this, then I can update the games rating and review.

After putting about 50 hours into this game I beat it. No issues with this version the entire way through. I really enjoy being able to use the 3x speed feature that was absent from the original version. Everyone knows what a pain it is to draw 100 magic each time you find a cool new spell but this makes it a bit more bearable. Not to mention tearing through 20 Tonberries in a row. This was a great game on Playstation and this version improves on almost everything from it.

It runs fine, even on my ageing phone (Galaxy A5 2017). A small number of areas do drop the framerate, but it's rare and probably not an issue on modern devices. I don't like touch screen controls much, but RPGs like this are better suited than most genres. The update for controller support is something to look forward to, but the game is playable without one. No internet connection required for saving or anything, which is good for me. Cloud saves (or Squall saves) are now available.
