The Symphony of Eternity (Android's Final Fantasy)
Wassup my fellow Droid gamers,
I just thought it would be a disservice if I didn't make a post about this game. The Symphony of Eternity is an rpg that I had been watching on Market for a while but was in Japanese only but they promised an English translation. After waiting four months an English translation of the game came as promised and developer wrote me letting me know. Well I still didn't know much about the game so when I saw US~9.98 on market I decided that was a little to steep for an rpg I didn't know much about. Well today 05/12/11 @3am central I said what the heck I can atleast try the game for 14 mins. I was very surprised when I got to Google checkout that the game was only $2.99 that not even close to the market advertised price but anyway I'm happy and no longer worried about rushing because of a refund.
When I finally played the game I instantly noticed very high production values. The 2d graphics, artwork, sprite animations, UI, heck even the writing was well done guess the long wait paid off. This game is the exact equivalent to Android's 2d Final Fantasy. The game has a well written story so far, witty likable characters (love the ancient Golem party member who's always portraying his understanding of human needs and emotion when he really shouldn't be), turn based battles with superb animations, limit breaks, skills, even dancing sprites upon battle victory. The game also has a huge 2d world map with many continents, towns, dungeons etc which you expect from say a FF. Everything just flows right in this game from the menu UI to battle system UI. For example when I wanted to cast a healing spell on a character I thought hey it would be easier to just touch the character portrait instead of the little sprite and sure enough it worked like a charm. Attention to detail like that is what makes a good game good.
Bottomline: This is the closest to a 2D turn based Final Fantasy game your going to get on Android or iPhone with out being an actual Final Fantasy game its just that well made. If Square themselves had put their name on the title I wouldn't have been surprised. So if you want excellent 2d turn based rpg on your android device definitely check out this game. It's a steal at the price it is $2.99 at checkout and the developers obviously put a lot of work into it so support and enjoy!

Actually developer is now saying its on sale in the description so I would definitely get it before it goes back to $10 or whatever the original price is.
it does seem good , but for some reason they still charged me full $9.89
gave it a fast try , does seem like an old FF game
but battle view was awesome , it looked great
even though that .. can't spare $10 , refunded with a sad face

That's sucks. Probably worth $10 but haven't got far enough to tell but yeah sometimes $10 on an app can be tough to spare. You could contact developer and see if they can fix it for you. Should say $2.99 right before you press buy now at checkout.
The sale is for US, UK, and Canada only. I tried changing to US with Market Enabler in order to try and get it on the cheap, but everytime I checkout it defaults to the non-sale price...

Im sorry that if you're not in one of those three countries you cant get the sale price but if you really want the game I say go ahead its definitely top quality haven't ran into a bug yet and the game just keeps getting better. Also supporting these guys will also help bring more high quality rpgs in the future to android. I know I definitely will buy part 2 if they make one.
Another option is to ask developers to expand sale to where you're at.

Yeah I hope so I did talk to them earlier about why it was showing up in market for 9.98 and they said it a market problem & Google would have to fix it, but maybe thats seperate from the checkout price for other countries maybe they can fix that.

What the furthest you've got in the game and how many hours play time just curious? Ive only gotten 3 hrs in switched devices still seems I have a long way to go.
I couldn't pass it up for only $2.99 and I'm glad I didn't. I've only been playing for an hour but it's excellent so far. Exactly what a FF fan needs. Thanks for the tip.

Heads up. A lot of users seem to be getting the correct price of $2.99 on sale now. So if you want the game check the price upon checkout again. Outstanding game I have no complaints.
just to clarify something , my country still doesn't have market so I had to fake my carrier to see[and buy] paid apps
and this game's offer is available to all countries [registered as ones that can buy apps] except for japan, so if you did like me .. you'll get the original price
they have a great costumer service , the reply in 24 hours
I got it for 2.99 it wouldn't download tried to refund it didn't refund but took away my purchased.... Idk why but I bought it a second time.. luckily it downloaded and it is worth every penny. As far as phone apps go I give this a 6 out of 5 stars

I had the same problem as you. The sprites on the world map are way too small though . I stopped playing because of that. It seemed really interesting from the castle scene though.
Does this game allow keyboard binding, or do you have to use the touch controls? I've paid for too many games that turned out to be unplayable due to big thumbs.

I have put 18 hours into the game already and am still not quite complete with the game, though the story seems to be coming to a head....but I DID notice a number of dungeons behind locked doors that could add a few more hours of gameplay throughout the game. VERY impressed with this game, Android Final Fantasy for SURE.

I'm on the part where Kreist and his team goes underground to get into the coup de feat castle where there is a purple armored colored human boss called "Soldier"
(who is relatively weak) that I was unable to steal from him. I keep failing to steal from him until he is dead.
Anyone managed to steal from him?
Is there any forum discussing the game walkthrough etc?
Thanks!

I continually failed to steal from this guy as well, and I had tried to steal the entire fight, as well as trying the whole fight twice doing only standard attacks! So far throughout this game the things stolen are not super rare (other than maybe mithril ore, which is easily picked up after battle with the burglar's braclet) so I decided that it wasn't worth the frustration to try again There is no item is this game that I have not been able to get from sources other than stealing.
As for a walkthrough discussion I have no idea. I have searched but found nothing, yet again this is a fairly straight forward game that may not really require much of a walkthrough. All the dungeon chests are easily found through exploration and I'm getting to a point in the game where I am going to use the airship to go to all the caves I saw previously with sealed doors, which may or may not be the "side quest" portion of the game

I have completed the game too and there is nothing I can do to open the sealed doors.
So far I have found them in:
- one in the sky
- two in the sea
- one near dwarf cave
- one in the forest on a small island
- one in the snowy island
Anyway, completing the game allow us to re-play with the current status+equipments. Might have something to do with that..
Maybe we need two Burglar forearm to steal from those boss and there was like 4-5 bosses which i failed to steal from.

Potential spoilers below!
I just completed the game, got the aegislute, and discovered that is the final piece you need to unlock those doors. When you walk up to them after the game is complete and touch the doors with the aegislute pieces it unlocks large side quest dungeons. I ran through one dungeon with the assassins shoes just to see how extensive they are and wow, its insane. The dwarves also have a new person to create items from a new material that I assume you get from these very dungeons. The usefulness of having these items after the game is complete is still under question, but there it is

Would this be a good one to start with? I always look at the RPG games but don't want to take the chance that I'll hate it or that the graphics will suck.
Complete newbie to anything beyond a quick puzzle game or angry birds.

I think this would be an awesome RPG to start with. The graphics are HD and it has great 2D sprites and artwork. This is the type of RPG people started out with back in the day. I started with FF10 which is a lot deeper than this but still basically same concept. Little learning curve to figuring out strategies but since you like puzzles games that shouldn't be a problem just save often. Bottomline this is great game for getting into turn based rpgs, it has the all the basics gameplay elements down to the tee, easy to use UI, and a decent enough story to keep you interested. I say start with this which for the price is unbeatable, but know that there rpgs out the there way deeper and have unbelievably good storylines. Btw FF10 ended up being my favorite game of all time (Great Story).

Spoiler below! (Sorry I don't know how to hide it)
Correction: I found three sealed doors in the sea
I managed to kill all bosses behind the sealed doors except the one in the Valley of Flowers...The boss refresh per turn of 60k hp and have a total of 100k hp. The maximum I can deal is about 30-40k only by using resonance and chains with Zeiguld Various etc. Seems like the point is to gather all the materials to make the piece of equipment which gain all merit+5.

Any ideas to defeat this boss..?
The command for hiding the text funny enough is [ HIDE ] (in front of text) and [ /HIDE ] in back of text.
As for the bosses, you have officially gone farther than me in that arena and I have not fought that boss quite yet, but when I get to him I will let you know if I run into any good ideas. I'm glad to find out as i'd gone through those dungeons that there are bosses tougher than the final one to make my leveling and gear actually USEFUL after the game officially ends lol. Quite interesting. Tough bosses.
As to the person asking about this RPG, I reflect the response of supermanlegend that this is a great game to start with. I would compare it more to Final Fantasy 3 if you ever played that one, and if supermanlegend has never played that game either I would STRONGLY recommend it as one of the best final fantasy games in existence. It is very extensive, great story, and LOTS of characters. I'm even recommending this one over FFX which I did like as well. Its just super classic and awesome game

I found the problem guys. Most probably you guys are trying to steal an item that was already maxed out in your inventory. I found this out by (possible spoiler):
At the Sword of the Heavens after you defeated the guardians on the left and right corners, you will be facing a green dragon in the middle room. I tried stealing from him but it never worked, so I just killed the guy. I reloaded my game before I fought him and threw away one of the 5 (max amount to carry) Secret Potions of the Heavens and Spirit Potions of the Elves. True enough, the green dragons carries a Secret Potions of the Heavens.

Interesting Thanks for that. As I figured, it seems that the things you can steal from people aren't things that you can't get in other places!
Kaijester, item strong weedkiller can take flower of valley boss 50k damage. I however only carry one of it and i am not able to kill this boss with characters attack in one round. Question: is best equipment bought in dwarf city? What level are you; i am level80, i cannot make 50k damage like you?

Just bought it, I was pleased and surprised that there was no additional wifi download. I guess because they didn't go overboard on graphics. I am looking forward to reliving the good old days of my first delve into fantasy gaming in the 90s.
Great game, ive spent 10 hours on it already. Can someone point me in the right direction on where I use the key to the seal? Trying to get the airhip parts but can't get through the last bars after defeating the cannon LOL

Ok so I got past it, was pressing the right button in the wrong position lol
Can anyone explain to me what the % that is next to the MP is for?
This is the "break" bar. If you have ever played final fantasy or something similar, its like the limit break bar that builds up as you attack or get damaged. When it gets to 100% the "break" bar turns on in the top right of your screen after you have selected that turn of actions. If you tap that you are able to select whoever has the full bar and whatever action you have chosen immediately happens first no matter the speed of your character, if it happens to be an attack it will crit (i believe 100% chance of crit) and it is awesome I use this frequently with my slow character which usually is a very powerful one, so that they can do lots of damage quickly, or I will use this in emergency situations with heal so that the heal is first and at maximum power! (awesome with healing wind)

I'm having a bit of trouble remembering that part of the game. I think I did get to a point where I couldn't remember where I was supposed to go...maybe check back with the elves? I seem to remember that being one thing I had forgotten to do after finishing up certain parts of the story. Check with elves or dwarves again is my suggestion.

. I stopped playing because of that. It seemed really interesting from the castle scene though.
