DISSIDIA FINAL FANTASY OO Reviews

by Oh Look Another Silver Egg

Fun game but it’s gone to its inevitable end. Decent but repetitive mechanics, familiar characters, and a story that is basic enough but never really goes anywhere. All characters are given or gained through quests, which is nice, but you still have to summon weapons for each character which are character specific. So it’s great that you get Cloud, for instance, if you’re a fan of that character, but he’s unusable without a Cloud specific 5* weapon. At first there was only one 5* weapon for each character, so acquiring them was easy for a f2p with a decent amount of grinding. Then additional 5* weapons were released, which made the original set pretty much garbage. Now with the addition of EX weapons, which have an incredibly low drop rate, the game has reached that terrible point all gacha games inevitably reach where the summon pool is so vast and diluted with older content that the game has outlived itself. It is a decent game, but keep the expectations to a minimum unless you plan to spend a LOT of both time and money.

As of the 18 oct update, the game is broken, it will not update and the events portal crashes the game, doing a batch download also crashes the game at 5065. iPhone X. The game is time consuming but it is rewarding you for your time, the draw system is pretty weak, you always get randomness that’s not as useful. The story is pretty good, the character designs are awesome, being a SE and KT collaboration I see amazing potential from this game in the future. This is the first mobile game that does not force you to spend hundreds of dollars a week. Some parts of the game are stupid hard, you could easily spend thousands of gems to beat it one time, this game has over 6 million downloads but you still have trouble getting a CO-OP party, there needs to be an available list of CO-OP matches to join from from the CO-OP menu. Awakenings to lvl 60 are coming soon, but it doesn’t address the how some of the characters are just trash and useless, and others are just over powered you can see that most players only use a handful of characters in CO-OP, for example Shantotto is one of the most powerful BLM in FF history, and she is just trash and a waste of time in this game. For now I give it a 3 star until they patch the download bugs. Imagine if they did events with KT characters!! Please fix the game, it keeps saying I’m on online, but I am.

I started playing this game two years ago and fell in love with it. The game has opened my eyes to the different Final Fantasy games and some of the characters from the other FF games have become favorites to me. The story for this game is wonderful and goes perfectly too. I don’t have many complaints with the game, except for the costume bundles.

I would like to suggest to Square-Enix the possibility of adding a new shop tab so that players can purchase just the costumes for characters they wish buy for as an alternative to the costume bundle pack that they offer for $37 USD. A reasonable price for a character costume, in my opinion, would be at least $5 USD for the costumes while still offering the costume bundle packs for those who are needing gems and other items.

It’s a game worth giving a try, there are multiple ways to get whatever items you need through multiple means if you look around enough at what is provided. Given, of course, your characters have decent strength to get the things. There’s going be some frustration with getting all the equipment you want, but again, there is a means if you pay attention like doing the HUNTS and exchanging from there.
Try doing everything on HARD mode if you can handle it, you’ll get the most items that way and making it easier for when you go from the golden COMPLETE on story and lost chapter quests in particular

My problem as of a few.... weeks? Going on a month? Is crashing. After doing a quest, I tend to skip through the results, but when I hit RETY or NEXT sometimes the game crashes. This can happen after 1-3 quests on repeat, like if I’m getting summon points and want to keep going until the stamina bar is empty and then use a potion to continue going.
Or.... I could try opening up the quest, look at the rewards list, close rewards list, and crash before hitting the BEGIN button.
Maybe I get as far as selecting my support character and hit BEGIN but the game crashes anyway.
It’s annoying as it makes grinding for experience and items more annoying than it needs to be. Really discourages story progression if I struggle to do more than 1 quest before a crash.

So I’ve been playing DISSIDIA Final Fantasy Opera Omnia since it first launched and signed up for it before hand. It’s a fantastic game and I haven’t even had to spend a dime playing it.

The gameplay is a lot of fun being turned based but still having the DISSIDIA style of combat with Brave and HP attacks, etc. The music is great as well which is par for the course with most Final Fantasy games.

My one gripe, I’m not sure if it’s on Apple’s part or if it’s a development issue is that I can’t play it anymore. Ever since signing up for the beta for iOS 13 it will boot up but once it reaches the title screen it just freezes and saying “connecting”. I’ve used it on varying internet speeds as well but with no avail. I’m hoping it’s fixed soon because I miss playing it. Once it’s running again I’ll update the review and increase it to a 5 star. I just can’t do it at the moment with not being able to actually play the game.

I don’t write reviews, in fact this is the first one I’ve ever written on DISSIDIAFINALFANTASYOO Store. I’ve been at this game for over a year and it’s amazing. Structurally it’s well built, very few issues and when they do arise they’re dealt with rapidly. It’s immensely playable. You can spend hours playing it, going after challenges, and still have more to do. Of course there are periods where there isn’t much to do, but that’s the hard limit of how much content can be released. That being said they push new content aggressively. The devs are very generous. Yes, the more money you spend the faster you’ll progress, but you can be a successful F2P player with what’s given. I almost want to give them money as a thank you for being so liberal with in game currency. At the end of the day this is a marvelous game and you should be playing it.

Ive been playing this game for quite some time, and have been a fan of the series since the first one back in the day on my grandmother's NES. This game captures the feel of the modern final fantasy while bringing back heavy feels of nostalgia. Having access to so many characters and different battle options really fleshes out the experience. The only thing that I wish existed was a PvP mode, to see who's really got the optimal team style, but overall I enjoy playing this game, and have not spent one dime on it. The in app purchases are an extra hand, but there's not too much grind required for advancement in the early game and you'll be able to level up faster than you think. I would spend money on this game, but I grind at a moderate rate so I almost don't feel the need to buy anything. I don't give many 5's but this game has earned it. 👍🏾

This game continues to give and exceed expectations. Upon initially downloading I guessed this was another cash grab, stamina based game that would only keep my attention for a week or two before deleting. This game can be played at any pace and has plenty to do. It has a high replay ability with farming the resources to level your characters to max, and has an auto play feature for missions so that when you’re farming the resource- you can just let your characters fight it out for you. The raids are fun and enjoyable. New events come out every other week with new characters or summons, and you have many opportunities to get the game’s currency. When you use the currency, even if you spend the 5k gems on a draw board- you are still guaranteed a golden weapon for your efforts. This game keeps to the characters and stories, and proves to be enjoyable!

I’ve played maybe a dozen or so mobile games over the years. I eventually lost interest in all of them (wasted money on them too). I still have them in case I ever decide to go back. That is not the case for this game! Much of the time I can’t put it down! Some days, I do the bare minimum daily missions (I always go through ups and downs of enthusiasm in any game I play), but when I really make progress—I have to keep the ball rolling! You can pay for optimal content or in-game currency; I am still free-to-play (and am determined to remain so!), and I still make good progress! I have completed a lot of the game content and have slowed down getting gems for content draws, but there’s always several events going on to earn rewards and gems! This is the most generous mobile game I’ve seen for free-to-play players! The developers have published a quality product, and I can tell they care and have pride in their work! I have dallied so barely very little in Final Fantasy games years ago at the insistence of my best friend, but you don’t need to have played any before this! I started in early November 2019, and I’ve already made it to rank 611! I have about 10 maxed-out good characters thus far, with a few more to be ready very soon! This game has inspired me to purchase FFVI & VII on Steam. I just wish Steam had the original SNES version of IV and not the 3D version.

Edited my 1* rating, now that I actually got to play this game, it’s a fun time killer with cute graphics, easy to understand gameplay and a fair pull system. It’s not too hard to make your characters strong and I look forward to updates that add new characters and equipment.

The launch still could have been handled better for iOS users, though! Hopefully the next game like this will have the game ready for download and play as soon as possible!

EDIT: After a few months of playing, I’ll keep the 5* rating. The gacha is okay, better than Brave Exvius but anything is better than a 1% rainbow rate. It at least has a guaranteed 5* which most gacha games should have. i just wish this was more of a sit down and play for five minutes at a time kind of game. You do need a serious time commitment from time to time.

I’ve been playing for about a month now and what I like most about this game is that it can be as simple or complex as you want. Devs do a great job at helping you learn the basics, then taking you deeper and deeper, though I’ll confess I was a little overwhelmed at the beginning. But I slowly got the hang of it, and now I really enjoy the variety of aspects this game offers. So, 5 stars.

But please, allow me to suggest that people have the option to outright buy with real money the weapons or gear they need. For example, if I had to pay a couple dollars to get Terra’s Soul Sabre or Organyx, I totally would, and I bet a lot of other people would as well. But not overpriced :) :) (By the way, I missed the Soul Sabre in Terra’s last event draw, and it’s not available in the token exchange, which is really annoying because now I can’t get it and obtain Terra’s chaos wave ability in her enhancement board!! Please add to the power token list!)

Also if there was a way for new players to get more enhancement points that would be nice. It’s a little disheartening playing through all the old content knowing that I missed out on thousands of enhancement points simply because I didn’t find out about this game until recently.

Anyhow, keep it up - a compelling game all around!

From what I can tell you this games isn’t really competition based rather work together and/or work by yourself. It’s a lot to handle at first especially now with LD and Burst now coming to worldwide but regardless it won’t take you too long to understand the game. There are tons of final fantasy characters and their still adding more of them as the updates keep coming. Each character has unique moves and weapons with great animation based entirely on their games. Although it seems like getting weapons that you need to max out will become difficult it really won’t take too much time to get them. With many free pulls chances and multiple ways to get tickets and gems it truly won’t take you too long to get the weapons and your fave characters to their max potential. This game is all about turned based strategy, you choose 3 to fight multiple rounds sometimes one round sometimes 5 with no wait time for the most part and things you do have to wait for you get items that will get rid of the wait time and/or items that increase the amount of the materials you need to increase your characters and you’ll get tons of them making it more of a grind to boost everything you can. So to sum it up if you like to grind with lots of events no worries of competition only working together, strategies with great deals then this is the game for you.

Old school Final Fantasy with co-op! So great. I rarely write reviews, and felt it necessary for this game. It's turn based FF with attack damage based on the brave system (vis a vie FF8). It is a little bit grindy, but not absurdly so. The game provides events that give you boosts to progress. Very awesome. If you like turn based FF, get this game. It offers builds to keep you interested without being overly complicated.
Note to developers:
Please fix the bug with passive abilities from max level items working (ie Vaan's def+84)
Second, give artifacts enhancements it's own tab. It's very confusing combined with armor. And please, don't make the artifact's skill secret. Let us know what we're investing in. We put a lot into progress. It's a new addition, so no one will mind a change this early. We will all thank you for it. As well, it will make the character development much more straight forward.
Thank you for the great game. Keep up the good work.

This game when it first game out for me was terrible. I’m a huge final fantasy fan and played final fantasy record keeper (ffrk) and final fantasy brave exvius (ffbe). When I came back to the game it was with intro to burst and LD. The main issue I had with the game originally was the combat being you need to attack and draw power to then do actual hp damage next turn. Very slow system but now majority of abilities do damage then dump the stored energy and do hp damage on 1 turn.

With team building it’s very fun because even though there is tier lists etc, the vast majority of characters are usable one you just get their full kit up to LD. It may be hard at first but they have a decent recycling system for dupes and fully upgraded gear that allows you to invest in a few characters and recycle their gear to invest in some more.

The gatcha is decent compared to ffrk and ffbe. It is a gear based gatcha where getting gear either upgrades your basic moves or gives you new ones.

The only complaint I have is they it can get pricey if you plan to put money into the game and they have major bottle necks with the ingots and books that can take an exciting draw and make character not usable for a while since you can’t upgrade them.

Overall it’s a great game, I feel it’s very f2p but can take some luck or time to get the ball rolling.

I played FFBE & DFFOO both. I’ll admit DFFOO has a way better advantage of me playing for a long time. The game consistently always updates with new content and they give you rewards to collect in-game. You really don’t have to spend money on any crystals unless you choose to because of the amount they give you in the game is mad crazy so it’s not a pay-to-play type of game. They have an interesting storyline but no voiceovers. I can deal with that. The combat system is pretty decent no complaints there. And they have co-op which I like most definitely. And the servers are not bad at all on co-op. I’ve been playing this for a while now and have no plan on stopping. The only thing I ask is if there’s an auto option for the dialogues in the cutscenes as they play. It can become very aggravating tapping the screen for a while 2-5 mins just to read/watch the cutscene. Other then that 5-stars from me. Great Game!!!

This game has to be the most fun I have ever had on a mobile game, PERIOD. Everything about this game is F2P friendly and easy to learn that you can become a pro in a week. Just starting the game gets you 3+ 5* weapons and a 5* Armor OF YOUR CHOICE! You can literally main ANY character you want! In fact, unlike most other gacha games, as long as you fully invest in a character, EVERY CHARACTER HAS ABOUT THE SAME USEFULNESS. No tier list required. On top of that, the game is EXTREMELY GENEROUS with its currency given out in thousands per week, and the fact that draws have a 100% chance of a 5* weapon, this game will constantly keep you coming back for more. And finally, the game is incessantly pouring out new content, with a new character coming out every week and a new chapter coming out every two months. Plus, the main post game mode is coop, so other players can help you get rewards to become even better. Simply put, this game is 100% worth your time, even if you are not a Final Fantasy fan.

by Msly07

They give a lot of ways to get the premium currency for free and their drop rates are very reasonable. Can you still get screwed over with RNG? Yes, but that is part of the fun, right? They have a pity system now for getting the best weapons and a shop for getting the others so there are even more ways to get the premium items. Gacha can be fun if you do it right, and these guys have got it right. If you come into a gacha game with a completionist attitude you are gonna get burned. You can’t have it all, but you can have enough that you get your favorites and enough to do the most difficult content. The gameplay is fun, challenging, and rewarding.

Edit* I have to hold my review hostage until these iOS 13 bugs are gone. The UI breaks every time DISSIDIAFINALFANTASYOO is moved to the background or the phone is put to sleep. I’ve submitted two bug reports. The issue hasn’t even been acknowledged yet. Please fix ASAP so I can change my review back to 5 stars.

Edit** Took a while, but the UI issues have been fixed. Going back to 5 stars

As I recently got into the Final Fantasy series, this game was the first app I downloaded. And I’ve got to say, I’m impressed. The story’s decent, characters are awesome, and obtaining the best gear is easy, and for once I’ve found a gacha game where it doesn’t matter if you miss out or don’t pay to win, as EXVIUS most definitely does. Now, that being said, the in app purchases, particularly costume bundles and enhancement bundles, are a bit of a scam. For one, the devs value 2 draws at about $25-30, which is extremely pricy considering it takes about an hour to get one draw. Secondly, the wardrobe chests are even worse. $37 for something that’s purely cosmetic? Based on my previous valuing, that’s $7 for something that doesn’t even do anything of use. I’d love it if these costumes were free (developers have even said that they “want costumes to be free.” Hypocrites) and I think most people do. At least give us the ability to change the color scheme of characters, like in NT. Fair warning: do not make purchases in game.

So this is a game I started in June of this year, I stoped playing for a while then came back a while later when I heard of sephiroth being added. I think this game is great, love it to bits, and can’t wait for more updates and character (FFXV?), but there was one thing that kinda bugged me. Personal weapons, now I know people might say it’s in the draws, but couldn’t we get a 4 Star version of them for the character at the beginning when you first get them, like the buster sword there are 2 the NT and regular (5 Star and 4 Star respectively). It’s especially a little harder when you have to use them a little later in that chapter at times. The draw system is random, but not too bad to give a lower rating. Now gameplay wise, I love it, it gives me a feeling of old games with the turn based system, (lightning best sweeper so far), as for certain bosses, they are unique and interesting, other than the malboros, I love each concept though it can get repetitive at times. Still need to reach chapter 10 before I ultimately can say I’ve beaten the game fully, but can’t wait until the next update, and hope to see more iconic characters in the future. (Advent children cloud skin please, would be great.)

Okay let me start by saying this.. I’ve spent so many countless hours/dollars looking for that one game on my phone that I feel I can play for years. This is the first Mobile review I have posted, over the past 5 years I’ve spent thousands of dollars on p2w games. Usually games die out or devs give up, don’t listen etc. Even if you haven’t played FF in the past, it is worth your time. There is few and far between when it comes to dev commitment and the customer support you get from the SE team. The reason I am writing this review is I consider myself to be a recreation pro when it comes to Mobil rpgs. If it’s been in the top 100 I’ve played it in DISSIDIAFINALFANTASYOO Store. SE add pvp to this game, spend a little on advertising in your target geo/demographic areas. I’m sure people have seen angry birds or some clash “insert name here” type of games advertised on Television. Please do this SE. Take your spot on the rightful throne as kings of the customer relationship business model. These other Mobil apps p2w money grab nonsense. I cannot wait to see how this game plays out. I am honored to have played such an amazing 1.0 version of a game. Because if somehow by version 2.0 there isn’t a million + people playing this game. The Mobil app world doesn’t deserve your passion and presence, thank you again SE.... For all your years of quality service.

I’ve been through my gamut of different mobile games touting to recreate a sense of nostalgia for great series and only this one has truly struck an amazing balance on so many levels.

-The interactions between so many final fantasy characters is done so well and the original personalities kept intact.
-So many characters feel viable, especially now with the new era of difficulty the game has entered where old characters are being reworked to shine.
-The balance of solo-activities and cooperative play is excellent. The events are also usually spaced out so that it doesn’t feel entirely draining to try and keep up.
-The lack of PVP is a blessing as it’s focuses the community (which is wonderful) in helping each other complete content together.
-The development team listens and is extremely pleasant. They’ve brought several major quality-of-life changes several months forward from where they were released in the Japanese version.
-The two forms of gacha currency available are given away generously throughout the games events.
-The game can provide a real good challenge that players tinker with for weeks and come up with fun strategies to beat.

If you like final fantasy and want a great community to be part of on a global scale, this is the mobile game for you.
