Square Enix closes Final Fantasy IOS because of an irreparable error

The developers have warned of the negative aspects of the changes in the purchase forms within the application. It turns out that it could be so disastrous that it could transfer the entire game with them.

This is the case with the iOS version of the Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, in itself the restart of Gamecube for 2003 and then transferred to mobile platforms. On all game versions including Switch, PlayStation 4 and Android, the player can buy fashion for their character to imitate other Fantasy references during the series. In mobile phone versions specifically, the purchases inside the application allowed the player to upgrade from the demonstration to the full version of the game. The recent changes were mixed on the purchase form within the application, and the buyers are not given their benefits after purchase, and Square-enix says they cannot fix it.

“The problem is the result of the changes made on the application model within the application,” says the publication on the official Fantasy Series website. “More investigations revealed that we are unable to fix errors and completely implement new changes, which makes it unlikely to resume the service for the game. Thus, we must unfortunately announce that we will end the Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles.”

Square Enix states that this error has been reported only since the last week of January. Recovered amounts are available for players who exceeded errors to complete purchases in a specific time frame for purchase.

It is an approximate lesson for Square Enix, given that it is likely to cost Crystal records on iOS some money to the port. It can also be an important lesson to transfer it to the rest of the industry: small things can still collapse if it is not treated with the utmost care.
