Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered is shutting down on iOS. This follows unresolved issues with in-app purchases, leaving some players unable to access paid content.
While this is disappointing news, Square Enix has outlined a process for players to receive refunds for purchases made after January 2024.
Originally launched on Nintendo GameCube with its unique (though admittedly complex) Game Boy Advance multiplayer functionality, Crystal Chronicles found a new audience on mobile. However, persistent in-app purchase problems have led to this unfortunate closure for iOS users.
The provided refund process offers some solace, ensuring players aren't left out of pocket despite losing access to the game. It's a somewhat ironic twist that a title initially hampered by its innovative design now faces obsolescence on a different platform, highlighting the challenges of mobile game preservation.
