Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered shuts its electronic doors for iOS

by Natalie Mar 16,2025

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered for iOS is shutting down. This follows unresolved issues with in-game purchases, leaving some players unable to access paid content.

While the developers acknowledged these problems and worked on a fix, the solution unfortunately involves ending support for the iOS version. However, players who made purchases after January 2024 can claim refunds.

Initially released on Nintendo GameCube with its unique (though admittedly complex) Game Boy Advance multiplayer controller system, Crystal Chronicles enjoyed a revival on mobile. Yet, recent in-app purchase problems have brought its iOS journey to a premature close.

Crystal Chronicles has provided instructions for players to obtain refunds for inaccessible content. While disappointing, this at least ensures players aren't left out of pocket.

It's ironically fitting that a game initially hampered by its innovative design now faces obsolescence on a new platform, highlighting the challenges of mobile game preservation.
