    Would love some impressions from you - was it worth the $15? Is it fully premium?

    That's not entirely true. Final Fantasy Dimensions II = Final Fantasy Legends: Toki no Suishō (never released in the West) minus the freemium bits, which they've now renamed as Final Fantasy Legends II in Japan. Otherwise it's the same game.

    Eh ?

    They say iPad 2 and above.... your iPad Air is much more recent and performant than a iPad 2.

    You can get the game with absolutely no worries.

    Love the cutscenes and story parts
    Most of all the graphic style is great
    Battle system is sort of a kingdom hearts style and I like that as well
    You can play long or quick sessions
    It’s way better as a premium than a free game

    So do you need to play the first dimensions before this one in terms of story? And since this used to rely on free to play elements, how story heavy is this? Or are there obvious parts of the game where it drags because the game was originally just trying to make you feel weak so that you'll spend?

    Guilty as charged! I don't even want to mention how much I spent on this game >_>


    ==========

    Anyways, I'm enjoying this game quite a bit. It's actually the most "pick up and play" FF I've ever played, but that makes a lot of sense considering it used to be f2p so they had stamina bars.

    Graphics and animations are beautiful. This is what I wish Kemco games would look like. The sprites are designed so they can make lots of movements/gestures, which generally is superior to the original 2D counterparts. The battle magic and skills are cool and flashy, making it a fun to play. MP recharges after each battle so you can freely use all the skills at your disposal. Music is also top notch. The UI is very intuitive and people that enjoy quick battles or more battles will definitely enjoy this.

    As for the story, I can't say for sure. Pretty basic at the moment but I heard Dimensions 1 was really good with their story so we'll see if this picks up. I'm expecting a fairly long game but we'll see. Can't really put any judgement on this part yet.

    Now for the cons - the game doesn't have a free roam world map. It's all nodes. However if you think about it, that makes sense for f2p since to use stamina, they can't have you doing random battles all over the place. So basically it's a map and you have nodes for battles / story missions you can choose. I would prefer a map but this is how f2p affects RPGs unfortunately. Also about over an hour in and the game is too easy at the moment, will see if it picks up. Then lastly, I know they were trying to make the menus look "classic" with the blue boxes but they end up looking cheap and ugly imo - they should just re-design them for a contemporary look.

    Overall, worth the purchase. I'm going to have to keep playing to see if it holds up. So far it's pretty addictive since it's easy to pick up and play more so than an average FF game where you have to sit down and delve a good amount of time. So I'd recommend this for FF fans and casual gamer fans who don't have a lot of time. Though I still need to play more to give a 100% verdict - the quality of the story and game length are the last things I want to know.

    I was answering someone who wanted to know if FF Legends was ever released here. And it was, under the name Dimensions. Same game, different name, as my Square-Enix link showed. I wasn’t talking about this sequel, which wasn’t originally called Legends II until now, as you point out. Thanks for the links, though!

    Avoid

    Stripped down to the chassis. If you’re looking for a real FF adventure, this ain’t it. The game is a shallow, brain-dead bore. Simplistic F2P loop minus currencies/timers ≠ full-featured RPG. F Squenix for this lazy money grab, and F me for buying it. #

    You are letting the fact it was once a FTP cloud your judgement, I played it both ways and it's great now as a premium if they had left it as a FTP it would be a shameless money grab... this is a made for mobile FF game and a good one. I am 4 hours in and still on Chapter 1-2 and it seems like this will have more battles/content than a typical FF release. There is no IAP in this one either so the only money they are grabbing is the $15 price tag and when you consider the mountain of a content its a steal at that price. I will admit though that I love all things FF it's my favorite series in gaming so maybe it's just me.

    It’s 20$ cad in the Canadian app store so quite costly for a former freemium game.Also,for people who played it,is the story,gameplay and soundtrack worth it or not?
