Mobius Final Fantasy (2015)

Mobius Final Fantasy has all the usual FF elements, an interesting battle system, and a decently compelling story. The game's battle system uses elemental and basic attacks to break an enemy's guard and then damage them in what is essentially a less static-looking Active Time Battle — which means it should feel pretty familiar. Things get a bit more interesting when you realize that your character takes in elemental energy based on a randomly selected serious of icons that run along the top of the HUD. On mobile, it is very easy to figure out the system, track it, and run with it. On PC, it's a little different, because the UI isn't quite as streamlined. Because the game is designed for mobile titles, you do a lot of pointing and clicking, which can feel somewhat monotonous and also seem a little, well, silly. However, once you get to the parts of the game that involve cinematics, having Mobius on PC really is worth it. It really is just nice to have a quality display for those cinematic sequences. It's a pretty gorgeous game as far as mobile titles go. But no part of Mobius quite makes the mark as either an iconic mobile title or a gorgeous PC title. Like many hybrid creations, it is okay at being both things, but great at neither. And that is its one true failing.
