## FINAL FANTASY TACTICS Description
Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions has arrived for iPhone/iPod touch!

Released as the Final Fantasy series' first tactical RPG in 1997, Final Fantasy Tactics on Playstation went on to sell over 2.4 million copies worldwide. The game grew in popularity upon its re-release in 2007 as Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions for the PSP with added features such as new movies, scenarios and Jobs.

Now, in 2011 the game has finally arrived for the iPhone/iPod touch! You can enjoy the game whose story gave life to the world of Ivalice, and whose high strategy battles bring tactical games to a whole new level. 


■Game features
- Intuitive Touch Screen Controls
The complex tactical game can be effortlessly and intuitively controlled by simply tapping units and menus. Gone is the old method of switching fixed map views - you can now rotate, move and change the size of maps as you please by sliding and pinching. 

- Improved Loading Times
Loading times have been improved to get you into the action quicker than ever. What's more, you can even skip certain cut scenes.


[Other Important Notifications]

- Quick Save (auto-save) data is erased when the game is updated. Please use the in-game save feature before updating to the latest version.

- The app requires a fair amount of memory and may not load while other apps are running. If the app does not load, please close all other apps and try again.

## FINAL FANTASY TACTICS Reviews in United States

### ***** "IPAD ONLY"
People are rating this great game based off not being compatible with iPhone.  This has been optimized for the iPad.  It looks and feels better.  If you are playing on a phone then buy the other version.  Don't be a dweeb and rate one of the best games of all time less than 5 stars.
-- Xenosys, 2024-08-16

### *---- "Awful"
Playing this game with touch screen controls is like writing an essay with your feet. Its a huge headache and it's the terrible war of the lions version on top of that.
-- TimeWastes, 2024-07-22

### ****- "My favorite game of all time, but needs controller support"
Still has the best music, best story, best leveling system of any Final Fantasy game. I love this game so much, and have played through it on every system that supports it. While the touch controls are pretty good, this game would be a perfect 10 if it had controller support.

Please SQUARE ENIX... PLEASE.  

Update: it’s 2021 - how do we still not have something like controller support in this game, that was originally designed to be played WITH a controller?

It’s now 2024. Still no controller support. At this point SQUARE ENIX is going to start missing out on money, as you can just download PPSSPP and play it on there *with* a controller.
-- urpwnd, 2024-05-27

### *---- "fix the controls and save"
If the ap is minimized for over 30 min the app closes completely, if your in the middle of a long fight and cant save you have to restart it constantly.  very annoying.

auto save would be help or screenshot type save would help a ton.  the touch controls dont work well on this platform and need to be redesigned. the sliding method doesnt select adjacent tiles but selects adjacent visible tiles unlike the original. almost as if the slide based control is programmed off of the touch based controls.

needs a lot of work, happy to play a portable version of one of my favorite games but id be happier using an emulator and a touch based game pad.
-- L33tspock, 2024-05-27

### ***-- "Just Okay"
This game revisits the job feature of Final Fantasy 3 and 5, two previous unsuccessful titles. While Tactics is better than those games and fun in numerous ways, it is also a bit passive aggressive in design like those games. I don’t think I’ve ever had to grind as much on a Final Fantasy title as I did on this one. Also, you can’t use items in this game without learning a job for it, which really doesn’t make sense. Why can’t I just buy potions and drink them like in every other Final Fantasy title I’ve played? And the game compels you to keep putting the main character out in front in important battles, when there are extremely more powerful heroes you can use for that. This game consistently crashed on a stage where I had to fight a flock of chocobos. Fortunately, it wasn’t a stage needed to finish the game.
-- Ikwl94mdnisnofdli, 2024-05-21

### *---- "Needs controller support"
It is odd that square has been too lazy to provide us with controller support on this game for over half a decade. All the reviews mention how important it is, yet they don’t act.

I love this game, but I can barely stand to play it on the iPad. It hurts your fingers and annoys the heck out of you to do it.

This makes me genuinely not want to support the company in the future. I feel ripped off.
-- Leadfoot-Lei, 2024-02-28

### ****- "Best final fantasy game!"
This game is so amazing. I love every second of the story and classes and monsters. Just one thing could help this version be the best. Please please please add controller support. That would make me so happy!
-- Bcbahamut, 2024-02-23

### *---- "Tutorial"
Your UI for the game is trash get a real job you Bum
-- WordUp704, 2023-09-14

### *---- "Missing so much"
I can’t turn off the tips - the game shows an extra screen every click that says it can be turned off in the options. The option doesn’t exist…
-- m—tt, 2023-06-07

### ****- "This classic deserves controller support"
Ipad os supports controllers like DualShock 4.  This game would be perfect if they updated to include…please
