Final Fantasy Record Keeper Review.

So, I've been playing the new Final Fantasy mobile game, Final Fantasy Record Keeper and want to share my thoughts on it.

First things first, I want to just put out there, that I'm one of the biggest Final Fantasy fans out there. Outside the MMO's, the 13 series, and the newest one, I've played all the others. In fact, the original is what started my love for the rpg genre. So, I have a lot of history with the series.

With that, that is who this game is really made for. From what I've played of the game so far, it's based on going through all the highlights of all the past games, which with this series, there's plenty of.

The game plays exactly like the battles in the old school entries. In fact, they also harken back to those games graphically as well, which is another reason I like this game.

The music is essentially everything in the series. This series is known just as much for it's music as it is it's stories. All if it is great to hear, and getting to hear the best of each game is really pleasant.

I also like the equipment system as well. I like how pairing equipment from a game to the character from that game gives them a bonus, and also how they get an additional bonus when doing scenarios with characters from those games as well.

I also like combining orbs to create the spells and abilities. The same also applies to the equipment as well. You can combine equipment to make it better and level it up. You can also gather items that can also be used specifically to upgrade equipment as well.

As much as I like this game, the one thing that I don't like is the gating. Every free2play game has something like this. Time limit, stamina bar, or something implemented to get you to spend money. I know that the game's creators have to make money, and I get that. I just don't think limiting someone's time with the game is the answer.

I'm not a big fan of the f2p format, but that's an argument for another time.

This game is a great game. If you enjoy Final Fantasy games or rpg's in general, then this is a definite download. The stories, characters, and music make this one of the better games in my opinion. The chance to go back and relive these stories are great. Every rpg fan should give this a try.
