Square Enix has released FINAL FANTASY+, a Pixel Remaster of the original 1987 Famicom RPG, on Apple Arcade. The version redraws the pixel art for modern displays, reviews the game balance, and adds a Boost Function that multiplies earned experience and gil by up to four times. Tap Movement mode moves the character to a tapped spot on the map, supporting one-handed play on mobile.
The series approaches its 40th anniversary next year, and FINAL FANTASY+ preserves the original story progression and game systems while redrawing the Famicom-era pixel art for modern displays. The original's harsh balance, with vast dungeons and frequent random encounters, is inherited to some extent, but the Boost Function multiplies experience and gil earned in battle by up to four times. Dash movement, auto-battle, and the ability to toggle random encounters on and off are included. Monster designs by Yoshitaka Amano and the airship's enemy-free world travel keep the original's character, and Nobuo Uematsu's score appears in both arranged and original versions.
