[…] you.I’ve already played through you in the form of last year’s Chaos Rings, a title I wanted terribly to like, but ended up hating. Combat was incredibly repetitive, the story elements were definitely tacked on, and you had the […]

I said mmorpg not RPG.

About your "you simply *have* to engage in more random fights if you're not powerful enough" comment, the game has an option to select the lvl you want the monsters to be !, if you are not powerfull enough you can just choose a lower lvl, even tho I allways choosed mobs 10 lvls over me and still had no need to grind, I dont understand how you call it an easy game then you talk about having to grind if you are not powerfull enough, thats contradictory imo.

Dont understand me wrong, Im not saying this is the best RPG game Ive played, of course is not anywhere near Final Fantasy Series, but this is an IPOD game, and I havent seen that many good RPG games for Ipod.

If you are expecting to find games better than final fantasy I wouldnt recommend you to look on iTunes, go play a VIDEOGAME CONSOLE, like ps3, 360, even psp etc…

I dont know if you have played a mmorpg before, but I think you have the concept of "GRIND" wrong, I beated the game with absolutely no need for grind, and leveling, well of course, every rpg is about lvling (except ffxiii -.-), also this game wasnt supposed to be best than Final Fantasy , its one of the first real RPG games for Ipod and imho its the best.
About "replay value" , I dont know what else do you need, you can continue the same game with the same chars to get new dungeons, you can also make new game+, you can unlock even more chars to beat the game with ( which happen to have different stories), what else do you need for a "replay value"?
Also Im not completely sure about this, but i believe its only 4 couple not 5.
I havent found any other decent RPG game for the iphone so I really cant c how were you disapointed from it, you need to realize that Final Fantasy I and II are just remakes and their graphics arent even close to Chaos Rings, its hard to make a game like FF for an ipod with those kind of graphics because the hardware has many limitations.

[…] neither trailer has any gameplay footage. I guess this means we won’t be getting another Chaos Rings anytime soon, but at least Square Enix is working on more iPhone games. I’m really just […]

Thank you for another excellent review!

Is it just me, or does it seem like most good quality graphic games are too easy, too short, and don't have nearly enough replay value?

If it is just me, what titles would you suggest that meet my criteria?

I have an XBOX 360, and I understand the differences, but I've yet to really hear about a game that has incredible graphics AND isn't too easy, AND isn't short, AND has replay value. I think the only thing that might come close are the soccer (football depending on where you live) games.

Holy crap, that does explain a lot. Thanks for the info — I'll see if I can work it in to make the thing more accurate…or at least, less inaccurate 😉

Just an FYI, the game was developed by Media.Vision the team behind the Wild Arms series. Everybody and every publication has been pushing this title as a Squenix release, when in fact their role extended no further than publisher.

With that knowledge on mind it does make the game's lackluster story and simplistic system understandable. Still a solid title and the best RPG on the iPhone in my opinion.

Oops sorry about that :S Maybe you had to load the saved game which you made after completing, I can't remember. It should unlock a new area which gives a much more satisfying story ending (and an epic boss battle too).
