If you're a fan of *Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered* on iOS, you may have encountered recent issues with in-game purchases. Some players have reported difficulties accessing paid content, and we have both good and bad news to share.
The good news is that the developers have acknowledged these issues and have prepared a solution. However, the bad news is that this solution involves shutting down support for the iOS version of *Crystal Chronicles Remastered*. They have also provided information on how to claim refunds for content purchased after January 2024.
Originally released for the Nintendo GameCube with its innovative, yet complex multiplayer feature that utilized GameBoy Advances as controllers, *Crystal Chronicles* was revitalized with its mobile release. Unfortunately, recent issues with accessing paid content have led to the decision to end support for iPhone and iPad players.
It's not the ideal resolution, but the developers have outlined a process for players to claim refunds if they've been unable to access the content they paid for. While this may offer little consolation, it ensures that you won't be out of pocket, even if you can't enjoy *Crystal Chronicles Remastered* on iOS in the foreseeable future.
It's somewhat ironic that a game which initially struggled due to its innovative approach is now facing obsolescence on a new platform. This situation underscores the challenges of game preservation on mobile devices.
