This is the best FF port I've played on mobile so far. The level of care taken into it is exceptional. It runs smooth, controls are intuitive, and it's all around a fun game to play. But be warned, FF9 is ripe with content and will keep you invested. This is a dense experience and will not always be a casual experience. Edit:10-29-21 The game periodically crashes in battle which seems related to using certain summon spells. The frame rate might stutter prior to crashing as well. Using an S9 Edited

This is one of, if not my favorite, Final Fantasy game. Great game play, good graphics (for the time), good story, and just all around fun to play. Bought a while ago and redownloaded, just to find the black screen issue. A review here by Andre on 2/12/20 helped explain it's a permission issue. After downloading, go to Settings, Apps, FFIX. Make sure storage permissions are allowed. If still not working, try denying & allowing again. Took me two times but it works great again! Thanks!

Final Fantasy IX not working on mobile POSSIBLE SOLUTION FF IX It seems like the FF9 app has some issues with android 10 or something. You will get a black screen after launching the app and nothing else. Here is the solution for Samsung devices at least. Not sure about other android phones like Pixel but could work on those too and I would guess they are all the same. I found this tip on a Play Store review and gave it a shot. There were DOZEN of people complaining about this same issue on the Play Store review section, I was one of them but changed my rating from 1 star to 5 stars. It sucks that the game is getting lots of bad reviews cause of this issue. "Awesome port. For at least the note 10+ it took a bit to get it to work. Like others said download game and get black screen when you play it. If you go into system settings -> App then find ff9, you will find permissions. The storage card access is denied. Or at least it was on mine for some reason. I allowed it and for extra deleted game cache, prolly didn't have to. But when reopen game it was all good. Installed with splash screen and extracted. Not sure why it doesn't ask for storage." (not sure what that splash screen stuff means, I just bought the game from the store) I have S10+ myself. When I first launched the game it asked my permission for the storage and I gave it that but got the black screen after that. I tried reinstalling and clearing cache etc. but nothing worked. I tried this guys solution for the giggles but was 90% sure it wouldn't work. I went into setting - apps - FF9 and found the permission section. I had it turned on (cause the game asked me to turn it on when I launched the app) unlike the person above me who had it turned off. I turned it OFF and back ON again and for some miracle it started working. I also cleared cache after that but not sure if necessary. So the classic "did you try turning it off and on again" literally worked. I hope this helps others too P.S. free Emulator to download and easy to find many games. Classicboy found in the play store works pretty well for a free one and contains multiple consoles.

This is one of the best games of all time! If this game is not working on your phone go into your system settings, app permissions, find the FFIX app and turn off and on the storage settings then try the game again. I just upgraded phones where it had been working for years, I knew it wasn't the game. I got this explanation from another review I read while investigating this problem. Please don't give 1 star due to phone technical problems :(
