Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered shuts its electronic doors for iOS

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered iOS Shutdown Due to Unresolved In-App Purchase Issues

Fans of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered on iOS will be disappointed to learn that the game's iOS version is being discontinued. This decision follows persistent problems with in-app purchases, which developers have been unable to rectify.

While a fix was attempted, it ultimately resulted in the termination of iOS support. Players who experienced issues accessing paid content after January 2024 can claim refunds.

Originally launched on the Nintendo GameCube with its unique (though admittedly complex) Game Boy Advance controller multiplayer system, Crystal Chronicles found renewed popularity with its mobile release. However, recent in-app purchase problems have brought a premature end to its iOS run.

Refund Information

Crystal Chronicles has provided a process for players to receive refunds for inaccessible purchased content. While this may not fully compensate for the game's removal, it prevents players from losing money.

The irony isn't lost on many that a game initially hampered by its innovative design is now facing obsolescence on a different platform. This situation underscores the challenges of mobile game preservation.
