★★★★★ "Broken, I can't learn the transfusion spell. I use my beastmaster to control the devilfish and get it to use transfusion specifically on my blue mage and just don't learn the spell. I'll update to 5 stars when this is fixed." - Melissa Zadrozny

Great game, but I experience very frequent freezing. Its gotten frustrating so I am dropping it to one star. It's not like they care enough to fix the glitch anyway
looottss of crash
Broken, I can't learn the transfusion spell. I use my beastmaster to control the devilfish and get it to use transfusion specifically on my blue mage and just don't learn the spell. I'll update to 5 stars when this is fixed.
I played Final Fantasy V on the GBA and I noticed that the sealed temple isn't in the game in this version. Would we be able to get that in the game as well? Thise other jobs and optional bosses like Neo Shinryu was a perfect way of killing extra time on the game. Would be appreciated to have that put into the game please
It's a fantastic game and one of my favorite games of all time but the fact they didn't put in the post game content in the advance version really upset me. I should have done more research but yeah this is not the definitive edition. Only original game
The font in unreadable and there is no option to change it.
i have good eyesight and the text hurts my eyes. why arent the font options from the other versions in this years later?
Crashes repeatedly. Sad.
hundreds of attempts at using both steal and mug in exdeaths castle on many different monsters and not a single time did either skill work. Google tells me it's a 40% chance so this is statistically impossible. Once this bug is looked at and fixed I will give the game the 5 star rating it deserves
Old version was better.
DO NOT BUY!!! Game ran fine for a while but now it crashes in battles continuously! Ive Cleared cache, force stopped, restarted app/phone over and over but to no avail. This game has been out for such a long time already i doubt it will ever get fixed so DO NOT BUY!!!!
Don't buy this game. You can't get past the pirate section. Huge waiste of money
in achievement list, it says that i'm still incomplete (management laborer achievement) but the additional content like the 4 jobs (necromancer, gladiator, cannoneer and oracle) and superbosses are no longer available in pixel remaster. So how am I gonna complete (master of v) it if it is no longer available?
Bring back the old one. If I wanted the old graphics I'd play the old game. I want to buy the old one with different graphics but it is delisted. Please let me buy it.
I can't even play the game because I keep getting the same error message, error 1031.
Not sure where to report a bug. Game completely hung up in Torna Canal after casting thunder on an Octokraken and then attempting to steal. Music kept playing, could pause the game, but ATB was completely frozen
Multiple game breaking bugs. Doesn't quick save when you get a call half the time. Auto battle constantly breaks. The previous mobile version was far superior.
Huge glitch with living dead nothing can cure it not Even using a cottage or esuna needs to be fixed
Can't use blue magic on self like mighty guard..
Overall very good port/remake. However there is a very specific bug that occurs when fighting Exdeath in the void. You can't target your allies with spells or items, for some reason they just target Exdeath. The only way around it is to tap the individual character instead of using the battle menu. Seems to only affect his first form too. Weird and annoying. Willing to change this to 4/5 star when the bug is fixed.
Always stuck right after lenna finish talking to the king.
I wanted to play this game so bad!!! I ran into freezing issues right out of the box. Five minutes in and had to start over. Got just past where I was and it froze again. We are talking less than ten minutes in. So I did a refund. I wanted to play this game so bad so I repurchased and decided to give another try. This time it froze like four minutes in. I got frustrated again, asked for refund and was told developer refuses refunds. Be carefull if you buy! I wanted this really bad! Disappointed!
Played for hours until almost end of world 1 encountered the bug where Cid and Mid will not spawn at Meteroite location with black chocobo....what a waste of time
Only play wi fi are when your phone 📱 bill is paid not offline
Cloud saves not working. Can you please contact me? I have cloud saves on my other phone, but they don't show up on the game in my new phone. I go to the download screen and no saves show up. Logged into the same Google Play account... This game was a waste of money if that doesn't work.
great game but highly pissed after finding out they removed the extra jobs and sealed temple after removing the app and remodeling it only to make it less enjoyable than the version that came out several years ago. and it's something you don't find out until you finish the game.
BUG! Stuck in 1 hour of playthrough. Bug shows me outside the ship wen I was on the way to wind shrine....I was lucky to have a save close.
I want the Pixel remaster to have the Ex Dungeons for 4 5 6
The lack of controller support really hurts. This would be 4 stars or better otherwise.
Protected steals ruin the game. If you're going to cut the exp needed to level in FF4 ( which wasn't necessary at all) then protected steals need to be either removed or rare steal rate doubled at a minimum.
Let us change the font. I'll make it 5 stars once we can. Adding to this. Most recent update deleted my save file.
Game is a classic, however after the latest update, the game no longer saves your progress properly. When sleeping or using a cottage or tent and saving the game and return, your hp is not at max wasting your items and currency. I would give 5 stars if they fix this issue.
Can't play the game with a font like this. Font matters in a text heavy game, and there's no support for mods on Android, to fix that. If I could fix it myself, I would. I simply want to enjoy the game.
