Final Fantasy Dimensions is delivered as episodic content. The prologue will be free for everyone to enjoy. You can purchase the first chapter for $2.99 / £1.99 / €2.39, chapters 2-4 for $9.99 / £6.99 / €7.99 each, or the entire collection of chapters for $28.99 / £19.99 / €22.99. $28.99. Twenty-eight ninety-nine. Twenty-nine dollars. Final Fantasy Dimensions, remember, is a game for Android and iOS. Games for Android and iOS do not normally cost this kind of money.

Let’s go over the pros and cons of this decision.
Pros: Umm… I guess it could be a really good game? It looked decent enough when I saw it at E3 Square Enix will make lots of money? At least there are no microtransactions. Cons: Square Enix wants you to pay $30 for a game that looks like it was pulled straight from RPG Maker.
Not that there’s anything wrong with RPG
Maker games. Some of them are excellent. They’re also free. Looks like some of the assets are even ripped from Final Fantasy IV. (That mountain and doorway are straight out of Mt. Ordeals.) In fact, this whole game kind of resembles

Maybe it will be! But for $30, you can buy almost every one of our 12 favorite iPhone games. You could buy a whole bunch of awesome indies on Steam. Or you could go to the movies (twice), then download a bunch of awesome free RPGs like Barkley, Shut Up And Jam Gaiden or Exit Fate https://kotaku.com/the-12-best-games-on-the-iphone-5878819 In other words, Final Fantasy Dimensions had better blow our friggin’ minds.

Sometimes I wish there were more ways to earn rewards through loyalty programs or frequent player bonuses. Adding seasonal events or special challenges could enhance the excitement even further. The payout process is generally smooth and reliable, though occasionally it takes longer than expected. Overall, I feel confident that my winnings are safe and will be credited properly.
