Polished masterpiece
FINAL FANTASY+ is a classic role-playing game released in 1987. This port brings the classic game into mobile devices with graphical improvements and strengthened gameplay for players to enjoy. The game follows the Warriors of Light, four chosen heroes tasked with restoring balance to the world by reigniting four elemental crystals. The game’s combat system, while simple by today’s standards, introduced the formula of modern-day RPGs.

This customization adds replay value, as different combinations offer varied experiences. Exploration involves traveling across an expansive overworld map, visiting towns, battling monsters, and delving into dungeons.
This remaster makes the game more accessible to modern players. With enhanced graphics, reorchestrated music, and quality-of-life updates such as an improved UI, auto-saving, and rebalanced difficulty. While this game may feel simplistic compared to modern RPGs, it is impossible to overstate its influence on the genre. Take note that this remastered version of the game is available to Apple Arcade subscribers only.
