RPG - Fantasy Chronicle Reviews

by QuiteRightLv

The only thing this game got worth completing it, is to complete it.

Another churned, bland this app set up from KEMCO.

Less then stellar written story-script that a kid in grade school could've mustered up. Confused boy, deceptive world, a bunny? insert evil bad character here? Confused boy is lineage to ancient hero, resolve!

Now to attack the game play:

The endless hoarding of precious materials to be disappointed of outcome for its product. I don't know how these type of systems could possibly fail, but RpgFc manages to break the scheme.

The controls isn't so bad. Either a D-pad w/ a cancel-action button that sometimes gets mixed up annoyingly with the touch screen controls. (Collecting material, touch screen, run away from material.)

Expect for a total finish, thats after you beat the game and tackle the last boss. Roughly 25+hours.

Last boss should be relabled as "Most cheapening end game boss to date." Granted the scripts for some fights are completely random, this end boss could wipe you out in the first round due to its sheer awesomeness. Had to level to 99.

Which is hair-ripping insanity due to the ultra cheap-shot monsters in the very last dungeon. (Oh be excited for this title!)

So many additional things are added to movement that over complicate things just a having to use a watercolor map of a village and labels just to move around. Didn't even make it to a single fight before I knew I wast willing to continue with that. It needs a complete reworking of the world so it feels like a world and not a 5th graders this app.

The story did seem to have potential so if you can overlook the odd parts of the game it should be enjoyable. But for me. It can't be.

The only reason this is 4 stars is I can't use my items in battle. Oh one more thing you don't have victory music, you have a happy little sound. All great RPGs have victory music final fantasy, Pokemon, etc.

I like the upgrading of weapons and armor. Also there's a little more animation in the battle sequences. Not as good as the rest of the series, but it isn't bad! Keep up the good work!

Having played 2 hrs...Love the beginning of the unfolding story and simple, unique conversations that bring out each character's personality like the bunny..the kind u don't see often in iOS this app games. Random battle gameplay is pretty simple and customizing weapons is simple as well.

My complaint is using touchpad to get around is a little too sensitive and could use more work but it worked very nicely during the battles. Athat's it.

by JrMetat

The game is good so far but im having a problem "reporting" my very first job to be finished. I killed the 5 dudes but it just keeps saying "mission not achieved" even though their is a check mark beside the mission...So not being able to finish stops me from playing any more. Any help/advice for me on this? Thanks

Wow am I glad I spent the .99¢ for this game!! Already 18h of gameplay in, and still have probably at least another 18h to go! The music is simply flawless! I can't remember enjoying tracks like this since Crono Trigger was released in the 90's!
The battle system is solid! You play three main characters, along with three guardians, which can be switched among the heroes to change which hero uses, let's say, a defensive guardian instead of a physical guardian. The battles seem a bit on the easy side. That being said, the real fights are when you challenge a boss in each region. Very well balanced battle system altogether!
Only gripe I have is that the cooperation attacks seem hard to "lvl up" and compatibility with heroes and guardians to use skills more frequently and efficiently do not seem to get any better when you lvl up with that guardian used. We will see if it gets better as I continue playing... All in all, a very solid this app!

Dont know how this game could even be rated less than 5 stars by anyone. If you like the idea of final fantasy including the fal cie and stuff in the newer versions you will absolutely love this :) than again im an old school gamer

by Die_B4_Dishonor

Bought this when it was on sale for $.99 definitely worth more and BETTER than final fantasy! Just about to beat final boss
-rating-
Gameplay: 5/5 - gameplay is very easy typical this app FF style; lvl up, gather materials to upgrade weps/armour, complete main quests N side quests from guilds to gain materials/cash/training book. You also have a helper to gather mats while u r away exploring (6 max) and beasts as a "summoning" companion that will turn the tide of ur battles!

Story: 4/5 - dont want to spoil so here a simple quick review: beginning i thought it was boring typical young weak hero have a secret pass ready to do great things but after a while it gets alot better!!

Music 5/5 - fun catchy tunes and even annoy my bro! 8D

Controls and glitches/bugs - 5/5 - for the first time in a while a flawless game with no bugs or glitche. YES ITS PERFECT compare to final fantasy ipod/phone series!

Beat second final boss at lvl60-65. About to beat final boss currently lvl80. Awsome gameplay, awsome storyline, awsome musics and controls! Advice train and definetly complete lots of guild quests to get training book (a must) to upgrade weps/armour (rely heavily on equipment

by ScriptNasty

For an excellently crafted this app. It has a suspenseful storyline that keeps your thumbs glued to the screen. The crafting mechanics of the game are genuine, and there's no IAP for materials! The battles are swift, intense, and the collaborative techniques are very powerful! I love this game, an highly recommend it to any FF fans (FF-FF9)!

by IZiminator.

This game is amazing. It has kept me entertained for about 20 hours now. It's challenging, fun, and long. Story is awesome and keeps you hooked. Lots of twists which keep you on your toes. Love the game. Going to be buying more RPGs from kemco!

by The Frizzell

So I bought this yesterday. It's got 11 hours in. The game play is fun. Sometimes tedious when your grinding, farming, etc. The story is entertaining. So yeah. Get this mess while it's still cheap. You won't regret it ever if your any kind of this app fan.

I'm in the dark curse and I can't find an exit to get into the next village to find Dean.I looked everywhere and I somehow defeat the dark crocodile and find nothing!I'm stuck,please anybody help

by Sapphire Wolfie

Btw the people who r complaining need to hear this! They probly can't just get a single thing done but I am in game mode when I play this game I lov it! Oh and people just keep playing u will under stand how amizing it is after a couple hours of fun!

by Black Soul6

I got this game like 2 or 3 days ago and I already have like 12 hours of gameplay, kinda sad seeing as I usually don't play many games but its really addicting, mainly due to the fact I love games where you level up and can upgrade weapons and armor.
Bottom line is I'm 18 now and I owned the very first iPhone and this is the best game I've ever played, and trust me, the whole not gaming alot thing is fairly new haha

by Heavy Ki11r

After purchasing and playing Kotobuki's latest game Symphony of Eternity I just had to get more. SoE was fantastic and led me here to another one of Kotobuki's games! I must say after countless hours put into this game and still having a ways to go to beating it I am once again astounded by their games.
The story is much more developed then I had thought and leaves you wanting for more! The combat is quite simple and easy to understand even for those who are new to the this app genre!
The controls are pretty easy to grasp, sometimes the touch to move gets a bit clunky but really you hardly notice it all and after playing for so long you just don't notice anymore!

This is simply a MUST BUY while it's on sale. I for one have become a huge fan of the developer's games and cannot wait for more!
Well off I play some more Fantasy Chronicles later!

You have to equip the items in order to use them in combat. In the "Tool" option in the menu, if you select the character you want to equip an item on it brings up another menu where an option to equip items is available. It took awhile to figure out since it wasn't clearly explained in the " Help" menu. Other than the confusing menu system, this a great this app that should satisfy most fans of the genre looking for a solid turn based JRPG for iOS.

I grew up playing all the classic SNES games, and I have to say Fantasy Chronicle was a great blast from the past, which gave me a lot of challenging surprises (the post-game final boss was shockingly difficult and required me to spend several hours upgrading my equipment and leveling up).

The localization is pretty spotty, but the characterization and graphic style were enough to be highly entertaining. This was a totally worthwhile purchase that I recommend for a fun 20+ hours of classic this app fun.

Oh, and the equipment upgrading system was deep and addictive. Did I mention that I thoroughly enjoyed this game?

I'm old school and so far I'm loving this little gem . The story line is keeping me riveted and of course being old school I love exploring, grinding , and figuring stuff out on my own .

Man no way half you guys could make it through something like fantasy star or kings quest without a guide or walk through . To me that's half the fun of these types of games . Thanks Kemco!

Hey dragonboy, in order to use items in battle you have to take them out of the tool box . First click on the tools icon , then you will see 3 more icons - tap the treasure chest one and you will see usable items . Now hit back and with the treasure chest icon still highlighted select one of your characters - you will see the ' take out ' option click it then the item and it will be available for battle with that character .

It's very confusing the way they chose to implement giving usable items to your character . Hope this helps , it's a great game but you definitely need to use items ( especially fruit of resurrection ) in combat as the monsters and bosses get pretty tough. Ex Rumia is right :)

Lord poo rules ! lol

One of the best mobile this app's I've found. I play it on my ipod touch, I just wish that I could play my own music while playing the game. It turns off my music when I switch to RPG , and not that I despise the game music, but it just repeats ad nauseum. Love the crafting system, love the companion/guardian system, love the mission system, and it's a good balance of grind and progress. Definitely something to look into if you like classic feeling this app's.
