So much potential but falls short

Unlike many reviewers, I have never played this game before so Im a clean slate regarding UI issues. My comments go to modern iOS apps and the ubiquitous availability of iCloud. I am frustrated that my progress is forced to stay with the device I play on. If I pick up my iPhone after progressing on the iPad, I have no ability to load the save from iCloud to be able to continue. Although the story, graphics, and audio are sourced from a decade ago, developers need to be mindful when bringing a classic back to life on a modern, intuitive platform like iOS.

I docked one star for lack of iCloud support. I docked an additional star for similar reasons as mentioned by veterans concerning dialog choices (must swipe to access others).

I think it is very important to take advantage of iOS, spend the time to create an app worthy of the platform versus attempting to shim a square peg in a round hole. For the money, I have no issues paying for the app provided the experience was to my expectations for a quality iOS app. SquareEnix has done a very good job adapting its line of games to new platforms. This app begs for the same treatment.
