Final Fantasy 6 Remake for Android Devices Rendered Useless After Game Breaking Glitch at Half Way Point

Final Fantasy VI's re-release for Android devices is causing major problems after a game breaking glitch is leaving the game useless.

According to Kotaku, about halfway through the game during a fight between Kefka and General Leo in Thamasa, Kefka is supposed to kill the general, except instead, the game freezes up.

Square Enix is aware of the glitch, and has promised a fix is on its way.

"The following bugs have been confirmed and fixes are forthcoming:
- The game no longer crashes during the cutscene showing the fight between Kefka and General Leo.
- The icon for Sabin's Blitz ability now displays correctly.
- A misspelling of the term "Esper" has been corrected," an update in the Google Play store said.  

"I'm playing on a Nexus 7 2013. I was doing just fine until I got to the major event in Thamasa. Then it crashed on my twice in the same part," said a gamer on Gamefaqs.com, who along with thousands of other people are complaining about the glitch in the game on message boards.

The mobile version of Final Fantasy VI is in 2D, making it different from the versions of FF 3 and FF 4 that also came to the Android platform in recent years. The battles will also be re-balanced making them less tedious.

Gamers in the U.S. received the sixth installment of the RPG series through the SNES console in 1994. However, the game was re-titled Final Fantasy VI in order to keep with the sequence of the series in the U.S. as not every version was ported from Japan. The original 2 and 3 did not make it to the states until they were re-designed for the Nintendo DS in the early to mid-2000s.
