FINAL FANTASY III for iPad

The notes on Saving in the Control Hints specifically say “Auto quicksave automatically saves your progress as you play the game.” So I naturally assumed that there was some kind of autosaving happening as I was playing the game. So I was shocked to discover after dying at the very beginning of the cave in Kazus that there was no autosave data I could resume from and I had to start playing the game over from the very beginning. These instructions about saving are extremely misleading. What if I had been playing the game for a lot longer before dying for the first time and then discovered I had to restart the game from the beginning?

Finally came around to buying the iPad version after owning and playing on psp. The graphics are clean, sound is great. Everything is there except proper controls. Ff4 has control support and works out wonderfully but this ff3 iPad version does not and is VERY DIFFICULT to control at times. Mainly the virtual analog stick. The sensitivity between walking and running is ridiculous to the point I wish it was more of a toggle that I can click to turn running Off or Always On. It can get extremely hard to just walk into a door to get inside anywhere. I don’t understand Square Enix lack of control support on iPad games such as this, Valkyrie Profile and Final Fantasy Tactics. I really don’t get it. Do they not read or see complaints and reviews? How much more positive reviews would be for one simple fix? I understand things get busy but people are spending hard earned money for these games. They aren’t free.

Seems like a fundamental oversight. Disappointing.

Is this version of the game going to be able to use controller. The Iphone version can but the iPad version should also need controller access.

there's no sound coming out of the game at all

The game is great, and the cloud back up save works between the iPhone version and the iPad version, even though this game is not a universal app. I know the cloud back up save works because I accidentally bought the iPhone version to play on my iPad, thinking that it was a universal app just as the rest in the series on the App Store. I was using my mfi controller when I discovered that I bought the iPhone version, and the controller worked great. But since I wanted the iPad version, I contacted apple for a refund to buy the version I wanted. When I bought the iPad version, I was surprised that there was no controller support! I do not want to contact apple again for a refund in order to play a version with controller support, especially since the iPad is the more likely platform to use a controller with. In short, please add controller support to this great game. Thank you

Sadly no controller support for this version of the game forces me to give it a one star review, seeing as I have waisted my money on it. I will go back to playing the iPhone version which does have controller support. Seriously, why can’t you transfer the controller support from one over to the other? You need to take controllers for mobile games seriously and it’s frustrating as a huge fan of Final Fantasy (the only game I consistently play besides Minecraft) to not have a decent way to access the catalog when you are so close. You have provided the support for so many other games flawlessly. I don’t understand the issue, considering you are charging a considerable amount for the game. It would be totally worth it if I had controller support but I feel ripped off and my money was waisted on this purchase. FWI, I purchased this game a while back and am still fuming about it.

... still no controller support o.0
