Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered iOS Support Ending Due to Unresolved Purchase Issues

Fans of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered on iOS will soon face a significant change. Due to persistent and unresolved issues with in-app purchases, Square Enix has announced the termination of iOS support for the game.

While developers acknowledged and attempted to address player concerns regarding inaccessible paid content, the solution involves completely shutting down the iOS version. A refund process has been implemented for purchases made after January 2024.

The GameCube original, notable for its innovative (though complex) Game Boy Advance-based multiplayer, saw a resurgence with the mobile release. However, the recent in-app purchase problems have unfortunately led to this outcome for iPhone and iPad users.

Refund Information Available

Players who experienced issues accessing purchased content can claim refunds through a process detailed by Square Enix. While disappointing, this does offer some recourse for affected players.

The situation ironically highlights the challenges of preserving games, particularly on mobile platforms, especially considering the original's initial struggles due to its unique design.
