Final Fantasy VII Launches On iOS Today Complete With God Mode Cheat

by Mike Futter on Aug 19, 2015 at 04:59 AM

Last December at PlayStation Experience, Sony and Square Enix announced a port of Final Fantasy VII for PlayStation 4. Today, we have good news and bad news. There’s a port out today, but it isn’t on PS4.

Square has launched an iOS version that includes a couple of additional features not found in the original. You can completely turn off random battles to hit the story points and narratively critical fights.

Of course, if you do that, you won’t be able to level up. To fix that Square Enix has included a “max stats” option to make your characters unstoppable.

The North American App Store hasn’t updated with the game yet. Based on other Square Enix iOS ports, expect this to be priced in the neighborhood of $15.

We’ll update when it becomes available in the States.

Update: Final Fantasy VII is available for iOS now. It's priced at $15.99.

 

Our Take
Square Enix isn’t going to stop releasing its classics on mobile devices at ultra-premium prices any time soon. The question is whether you really want to play this now with a virtual gamepad, wait for the PlayStation 4 port, or hold out for the complete remake announced at E3.
