The graphics of the game have been criticized for their simplistic, retro 2D style, reminiscent of low-effort flash games, which many feel is inadequate for a PC title. While some appreciate the charming, cartoony aesthetic, the lack of resolution options and graphics customization has left players wanting more visually impressive content. Overall, the graphics do not meet the expectations of PC gamers seeking high-quality visuals.
“I would definitely pay for even better graphics and music!”
“The video graphics quality is wonderful for its age.”
“Lovely cartoony graphics.”
“There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks.”
“The mobile app features somewhat lazy, simplistic 'retro' looking 2D graphics, of the type you normally expect to see in low-effort flash/browser games and mobile apps.”
“Considering this is being evaluated as a PC game, having the graphics phoned in like this isn't going to result in a high quality, visually impressive game that PC gamers are used to seeing.”

The replayability of the Final Fantasy series, particularly from FF4 to FF11, is limited due to various gameplay issues such as inventory management, level accessibility, and upgrade functionality, which hinder progression. FF12 is noted as completely unplayable due to frequent crashes and numerous technical problems, further diminishing the overall replay value of the games.
“FF4 to FF11 are playable to about level 2 or 3, but some of the items you collect don't get held in your inventory. Some levels you can't play, and some levels require too many things to complete in the time given. If you don't complete them, you can't get upgrades. Some of the upgrades, even though purchased, don't show up. FF12 is completely unplayable; too many things don't work and the game crashes frequently.”
