If you're a fan of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered on iOS, you might have encountered issues with in-game purchases recently. Some players have reported difficulties accessing paid content, and we have both good and bad news to share about this situation.
The good news is that the developers have acknowledged these problems and have come up with a solution. Unfortunately, the bad news is that this solution involves shutting down the iOS version of Crystal Chronicles Remastered. They have also provided information on how players can claim refunds for purchases made after January 2024.

This feature, though complex, brought a unique multiplayer experience to players. The game saw a revival with its mobile release, but recent issues with accessing paid content have led to the decision to end support for the iOS version.
Cracking crystalsWhile this may not be the ideal resolution, the developers have outlined a process for players to claim refunds if they couldn't access their purchased content. Although this might be small consolation, it ensures that affected players won't be left out of pocket, even if they can't continue playing Crystal Chronicles Remastered on iOS.
