    Doesn't seem to work with iOS8. Thankfully I was in the post-story area and getting bored with the quests. Really good game, liked it a lot. Never really got into 1, now tempted to try it again.

    Unfortunately we don't know their time table. That message has been there since iOS8 has released. SQE hasn't updated all their other non-working games either.

    I don't think they've redrawn any of the artwork to make it truly iPhone 5 optimized. That would've probably taken them forever and a couple months. But I'd imagine all the Chaos Rings games will now have pretty borders where there just used to be black, just like Chrono Trigger. I didn't mind the black, but it'll look nicer I guess. But it is just nice to see these all get updated for those who have newer devices.

    Chaos rings 2 is unplayable right now on ios8 so they better ad some pretty borders to it just sucks the others have been updated almost simultaniously but this one is left out hope to see an update soon to fix this compatibility issue

    What a joke. Chaos rings 2 is on sale and the game won't even run on ios 8. That's a completely dirty move by SQE. I can't imagine how many people are going to buy it then realize it won't play. They should fix it before they put it on sale. That's like putting defective items in a sale bin and you won't know it doesn't work unless you read the small print.

    How does this game compare to SE FF series since it has only two characters at a time in combat. FF typically has 4. Does only having 2 take away from the experience at all? That's my concern.

    Characters in RPGs that uses bow as their weapon are always questionable. Except for Marle in CT.

    Never, I find 2 characters in battle is kind of refreshing and easier to manage, not to mention can be quite challenging. Chaos Rings 2 has a different battle mechanics as well in the sense that you can go Solo for individual damage or pair up to deliver maximum output, of course elements like fire vs water vs wind and other features plays a part to turn the tides of battle.

    There's summon in this game, yes, like the FF series but don't expect anything grand, limit break and the like. You'll definitely enjoy this quite a bit if you love the FF series.

    Go watch some YouTube videos to decide. ;) also since it's on sale why not?

    That's probably one of the least of the differences in and of itself.

    There's a lot more emphasis on indirect skills like debuffs, big attacks with chances of failure, health percentage stuff, etc. I found myself exploring the whole skill list much more in CR2 than in most FF games; character roles are harder to pin down into one category and I found it to be more elusive to objectively rank skills from bad to good. It's not really a hard game though, because there are some simple techniques to quickly get to the point where random battles are over in one move nearly every single time; bosses are always interesting though.

    Only one character is explicitly a really gifted traditional magic user, while everyone else is some sort of warrior variant with def/spd/atk differences that often work similarly well as another the same skills equipped, so it's a bit like FF7 without the big spread in limit break quality. But again, the skills in the game are of a trickier nature so while the characters have their archetypes, the skills kind of fall in with any kind of archetype.

    I think generally, the systems incorporated into battles bring more to the game than having more characters in play at once in that you have to weigh making solo or dual actions. Also, the order in which the game's events occur depend on who you choose to use.

    I will say though, I didn't particularly enjoy the previous CR games and I think there is valid concern with those about the two-person system. Plot-wise it worked fine, but I don't think the CR battle system had matured enough until CR2, to make for a really good alternative to something more traditional.

    Thanks for the replies. Very comprehensive. I went ahead and bought it with the sale on. Good to hear the 2 character thing doesn't detract.
