Uper dissappointed.... As soon as I saw square Enix mad this game, i immediately downloaded it... the game lacks in numerous ways, but contains good graphics...but graphics wont get you anywhere unless the gameplay itself works. Come on now you guys have made so many great games, you will make a good mobile game if you try to be new and fresh, and not forcing people to pay so much.

Amazing game! Could you possibly do something about the sound disappearing though? Every time my cellphone gets a notification the sound cuts out and I have to restart the game in order to get it working again.

by Q####:

I want to say, I enjoy the game. And I'm thoroughly disappointed in some of the ratings the game is receiving. People keep comparing Square Enix Mobile to Square Enix Console, which is a terrifyingly bad thing. While I do agree that our mobile generation has acheived unimaginable results, consoles will always be superior, and per se, you won't see a game like FFXV OR XIV on the playstore. It's simply just not possible right now. So please, stop comparing Mobile to Console.

IDK what to say, should I be excited? Nah.. gameplay is pretty classic even though its in 3D. It is hard to find another player in multiplayer mode too. Kinda disappointed. But I'm waiting for the next update. Surprise us.

Server is terrible, constantly crash. Must fix before I give you any of my money! Read reviews below tells same story it CRASHES!

I want to enjoy this a lot more than I am...cool music and multiplayer can be great...but SO many issues. Endless menu hopping. Frequent drops in connection and weird 'return to title' dead ends. BGM drops with any notification on phone or if charging. Generally SLOW going. Actual battles seem very short in comparison. Might improve with updates, but not a great first impression.

I like that characters have more depth battle wise than most mobile games, but optimization is poor atm. Even on low my galaxy tab 3 struggles where even FFmobius ran fine on medium.

Good and decent game, just downloaded it, played an hour and i liked it already, the worst part is that i summoned 10x Grab and just got fckin 3 stars monsters not even a single 4start lol. maybe its just the summon rate, a bit laggy and slow loading, i hope theyll make this nore optimized next update.

Square Enix is not as good as it used to be. I wonder when are you going to make a full-scale RPG for mobile? I love Square Enix for all your classic Final Fantasy games, but this? And FF Brave Exvius? And Mobius FF? I've started to lose hope in Square Enix...

Tired of mobile energy games. want to play when I want to play and end when I'm rdy not forced. Hoping for one of you better companies to do a full priced full game release that is worth while on mobile.

Graphics are fine. The game downloaded very fast so I had high hopes but I got booted out twice and its not connection or data related. Your programming is obviously faulty and its almost like you rushed putting the game out before bugs are fixed. Definitely not as good as your previous games. Needs a lot of work before I can raise my rating. When I'm able to play I can will raise my rating. Until then you're deleted.

typical from square enix top quality gaming love the style 5/5 easy for mobile gaming one thing i would do is make a global chat and a pvp arena i think those are needed for any game like this to build a community for it. dropped to 4/5 doesn't stop connecting and keeps asking to retry my 300mb/s dl speed connection hopefully they fix the framerate a bit also , Update it just disconnects and ask for a retry connection to much and its laggy also.

When launching it says the game isn't ready yet then kicks back to title screen. Unplayable.

Annoying game breaking bugs. Really poor multiplayer. So many server maintenance times. Shame because the game could have been great. Plagued with issues.

Refuses to connect to wifi and won't connect using data. Will update my review if the game decides to work.

The graphics are great and the game concept I like but I feel like I'm playing a bad game from a ps1 console it lags too much even if I have a good Internet signal. Probably I'll uninstall this game for awhile and wait till everything is stable I don't mind resetting my progress for a good game.

try to play play using wifi. not able to connect. and is nothing wrong with my wifi. i can browse the web and play clash of clans.

What kind of terrible game is this? The game won't finish the initial download and it continues to say I have no Internet when I have WiFi AND 3G so if one doesnt work it should switch. Looked good from afar ,but if developers are so slow and can't fix the game regularly then it's pretty much a waste

Can't. Tried twice, a total of 6 hours, would never install. I have a ellipsis 8. I know it is not the best tablet, but I should be able to install the game.

Battle system feels a poor attempt, look at brave exvius its solid just expand upon those mechanics and you will be loking at a AAA game.

Played guardian cross and deadman cross before guardian codex and it does not live up to the hype.. Moreover 5* drops are really rare as after 20 draws only manage 4 4* and numerous same 3*

Plus the playstyle doesn't feel there's an impact while dealing damage. All I hear is someone is spitting on each other. I personally don't like wizardry style combat. Uninstalled within 5 minutes.

I love this because it feels like a Final Fantasy game. The graphics are AMAZING! During battle, you are looking at your enemies and you can see your guardians in their status boxes at the bottom of the screen, and then when you attack, you see the guardian you are using preform the action. I feel that this takes a great, classic RPG style and puts an refreshing and polishing new twist on it that only Square Enix can deliver. Loads of fun for fans of turn-based RPGs!

Guardian Codex is a totally new genre from its predecessor Guardian Cross. Guardian Cross's niche mechanism such as trading, hardcore duel ladders and field FPS capturing was sadly removed from its successor. The only similarities are the guardians and a few other mechanics. With that being said Guardian Codex is still at its infancy and has a lot of potential to improve, but that depends on the Devs and Square Enix.

I hope the devs read this, the game itself is excellent but there are some glitches that can get really annoying. Frame rate drops when going into battle and when receiving notifications from my phone, like from a text message, the game glitches. The BGM drops and the icons get jumbled. The only way I can get it to work properly again is to restart the game which is frustrating especially when I am in the middle of a battle. I hope you can fix this, I am currently using Lenovo P70A running Lollipop OS.

Lots of potential, just not well made. Lots of the units feel the same, same moves with just different names. Creature designs are mostly terrible. Combat is decent, but why is it I miss constantly with attacks but the enemy never does. Repeated runs through the same battle seems to increase enemy damage as well. Or their damage is just insanely random. Tells an interesting story so far.

I like this game specially its reminiscent of the Shin Megami Tensei series though it ends there. The game crashes on my phone before every battle, the fights dont have impact whenever your guardians attack. It gets boring really fast

You guys gave out 5000 coins to spawn. I spawned. I GOT ONE 4 STAR AND THE REST WERE 3 STARS! Unison league has better rates with single spawning and that says a lot. It is impossible to pass the higher levels with crappy 4 stars. They die too quickly. I am upset because you guys give out 10 measly coins for completing a level. If you guys THINK I am going to drop money on this crap game, think again. This game is a fail. Lazy, unexciting, cheap. I AM disappointed in this game.

Guardian cross was the best from the series. Yet you shut it down for no reason. That said this isn't a bad game. A little repetitive and there's no point in multilayer as it never finds other players but the graphics are good, the general idea is good it just needs more to keep us involved.

Lots of fun but seems like it's still in late beta phase. Alpha blending on 2d sprites at the battle screen doesn't work so environment entities have black borders. Needs optimization.

I can play this game for about 20 minutes at a time then it just crashes. I wish this would get fixed. I am and have been a huge square enix fan since i was a kid. This could be the best mobile game if it was a little more fluid in battles and screen loading. Im still going to play this game... I do like it. Please fix the above stated problems.

Good rpg but it needs a major update though. The game can lag making the characters move a bit slow. Unfortunately square enix

I wish anything about this game was worth doing but its just not. So far out of their several mobile apps the only one ive enjoyed was DmC. And why do we start with a full party of 4star characters? The jump to 5stats feels unimportant at that point.

I am really enjoying the game but I have noticed that every time I get a notification or a text message, the BGM shuts off and doesn't come back on. I have to close the app and start over for the music to come back on.

Yes it was great the character designs, the gameplay, and there are choices of what you'll respond(sorry idk what it's called). The only problems is that it's laggy when you enter a dungeon, and I kinda want to play it anywhere I can without using wifi.

First time I'm dissatisfied with your game. It's like other FF games but lack originality. think harder next time for a good concept and don't just slap us with cheap games.

Game looks great, gameplay is good, graphics are not too shabby also ;) ... But... The game crashes at random, tried to replicate it but there is no indication of what it might be caused by... Too bad cuz these kinda games aren't my cuppa thee but this one won me over...

by Q####:

NO socializing at all. NO working multiplayer mode working. The tutorials are absolute trash in explaining how the game works and there are no ways to check your items for side quests unless you unlock the options through leveling WHICH you can actually choose to not have throughout your gameplay. NOT HAVING AN IMPORTANT PART OF YOUR GAME IN YOUR ACTUAL GAMEPLAY. What the actual heck are you thinking. To think I looked up to this company before. Quit this mobile crap please.
