Chaos Rings is the only title I will be playing for quite some time, outside of my normal review requirements.

The turn-based fighting is gratifying and never got old, and the story and character development remains immersive even in short play sessions.
- Touch Arcade

The iPhone finally has its own triple-A Square Enix RPG that actually reaches the heights of a Final Fantasy or Chrono Trigger.
- Slide to Play

The story, and characters found within Chaos Rings are the most interesting and intriguing I have come across for the iPhone, and perhaps I have to go back to Final Fantasy VII to find it’s equal.

Pros and cons of CHAOS RINGS app for iPhone and iPad

CHAOS RINGS app good for

I was so blown away by the amazing graphics for an iPhone game. The gameplay is simple and easy to follow. All the characters are lovable and their stories, while some may be a little generic, were captivating and make you completely fall in love with them. I especially love how after the completion of each character, the gene skills are saved so that you dont have to train them as hard as the first couple. Unlike most of the reviewers, I love the Japanese audio. Ive always preferred Japanese voice actors over English voice actors, especially if the game is specifically designed for Japanese voices. All of the voice actors are very talented so the different language doesnt take away the fun from the game. Overall I enjoyed playing this game very much and highly recommend you buy this game. But remember, you have to remember to finish all of the characters to unlock a hidden story.
This is hands down the best rpg on the apple store. There is so much depth. You need to pay attention, to understand whats going on.The story here is amazing even if the gameplay is a little dull at times. Dont let the high price-point scare you away, you get your monies worth.
The storyline is one of those where you cringe at, cry for, and fall in love with all at the same time. Although Im a little confused...on playing through the game to the end on both character combinations, I found more story was unlocked? Unsure if this was an update or just bonus material for beating the game, would have preferred that to have been made more clear somewhere. Anyway, the gameplay is probably a little simplistic for experienced RPG players, but the story and graphics make up for it.
I live turn-based RPGs so imagine my delight when I happened upon this game! The storyline is intriguing and the graphics are gorgeous. It is, after all, a Square Enix game so I expect as much. I havent yet finished it but Im sure I will play it over and over until I have unlocked everything there is to unlock.
I wish more apps would follow this model and get rid of IAPs. This game is fantastic and Im happy to pay the one-time price to enjoy a complete, well-made game. Very impressed.
updated: now I get to replay the experience on my brand spanking new iPhone plus and new iOS 8.4! 
