Final Fantasy VII G-Bike

Recently, Square Enix released a new smartphone game. Final Fantasy VII G-Bike, based on one of the mini games that was in the original FFVII. It's the mini game where you had to guard the little van if you can recall. Otherwise, you could go back to the gold saucer to play it. I think you can find it there.

Anyway, it's available on the Japanese apple store. I don't use Android so I cannot tell if it's ENG/JPN location protected there too. If you need the official link, it's http://www.jp.square-enix.com/ff7_gbike/  .

(You can make a Japanese app store account by registering a Japanese address (take a shop address or just google map a random place).


You go around using Cloud on his bike.


This game is kinda like those running games where you have to jump over stuff, go under stuff, attack enemies. It's has the best graphics for that genre though. The basic gameplay is still just that.


You get to add a support character (once per 30 mins, sometimes you get to use the character again so I don't know the exact logic yet). Tifa shows up when you fight a boss to do FinalHeaven for a little more damage at the end of your limit break sequence.


You get to see the limit breaks only when you fight bosses and the limit break is determined by the weapon you hold. So far I've seen BladeBeam (Buster Blade), Finishing Touch (Butterfly Edge/Murasame) and Meteorain (limited boss mission).


 If you have the support character, the limit break transits into another by that character (currently only Tifa)


Tifa is all ready to give a good punch.


BAM!

TIFA!!! <3

Their first limited edition Boss mission has Bahamut in it. (The very first you summoned in FFVII).
You can get the limited edition Bahamut bike using the parts. It's kinda late if you start now...

MEGAFLARE!!!


Getting punched by Tifa~

You level up weapons/bikes using items (which you get from the end of a mission at the roulette).
I would advise against using the gems unless it's a rare item and it's just beside the one where you landed on.

After some time, I realized that what you need can be gotten easily from the missions that have it as the reward. If you hit 100 pts they put more of that on the slots so it becomes much easier to get that particular item.

It's still a game in its infant stages so it's a very good time to get into it. =)
I like how fast the points charge with time and it seems like the game would get better in time.
I'm a sucker for FF games with all the nostalgia (Currently playing FF Agito on the phone too).
