    I'm buying anyway but can anyone confirm if the battle scenes are frame locked at 15 FPS like the Steam version or is it improved?

    Sidebar: Is there a thread or list somewhere that lists the bigger games that *don't* have cloud save support? I hate to update my device next year and then lose hundreds of hours of play on a game I wasn't quite finished with like MHFU, Transistor, etc...

    Hoping FFVII has cloud saves -- I enjoy playing FFVI on both my iPad and iPhone and switching between the two.

    Looks like someone got Mandi's joke. It was supposed to be a serious question and a joke both on the same coin.

    Er,what is this 'Max stats' feature it mentions in the description? Hopefully not some sort of game ruining feature that allows you to simply level up at free will! I guess that it would be whoevers choice but it would destroy the entire fun of the game if this was what it was?

    What's with the buttons and d-pad getting in the way of the commands? Isn't there a complete touch interface for selecting/ confirming commands?

    That v-pad and v-buttons (how i saw it on the stream) is 99% like the controls if you play it emulated. Please someone tell me there is a dedicated touch interface for commands (even the crappiest KEMCO rpgs have it)

    From what i saw (and zoomed) at screenshot number 4, it seems like d-pad and shoulder buttons will clog the screen.... Anyways, android please!!!!! :p

    I was 7 years old when this is released, and didn't play it at all.. Played crisis core and will play this legendary game!!

    It's all virtual buttons from what i've played. That means we dont get to tap on commands or targets.

    THERE IS FULL MFI SUPPORT. Im using a madcatz micro and it works flawlessly. Just needed to set the controls opacity to zero.

    My only gripe with the game is that it is in turbo mode. Everything moves faster, except for the music and sound effects. I wish they provided an option for normal speed. On the other hand, it felt a little more appropriate for mobile. I still wish there was an option though, coz i want it to feel like an authentic port, not a "mobiled" one.

    Another flaw is the lack of full controls optimization. They have provided a few options, but they're almost all similar. The virtual buttons also look like they were sized to be perfect on the iphones, as they look gimongous on the ipad. Im thankful there is MFi support. The virtual buttons work well, but i want to move buttons around to my liking.

    Bottomline though, this is a great port. I havent tried the Max Stats option as im afraid it would ruin the game. There are multiple save slots (10 iirc), but im not going to try.

    So far it's glitch free, so it's well worth the asking price now that it's mobile.

    Cheers!

    How different is the "turbo mode" from the standard speed we all know....it doesn't ruin the experience does it? Also, do you still have the option to customize the color of your window by chance?

    I estimate about 20% to 30% increase in movement speeds. It doesnt ruin the experience, but it doesnt feel natural, and by natural, i mean like it was in the original.

    And yes, the option to customize window color is still there.

    When you say movement speed do you mean the timers for the turn based attacks or the models of the characters themselves during battle and in the overworld?

    I wonder if the graphics will be better on the iOS version due to it being a PC port? I have FFVII on my Vita as well but still haven't played it yet, so I think I'll play it on iOS first.
