* EnforcedPlug: The game actually forces you to promote it on FaceBook or {{Twitter}} if you want a full party of 40.

* OutsideContextVillain: Going by the introduction, the entire army of evil is this. The heroes in this game are just a bunch of random characters that band together to stop them.

* MascotMook: Cactuars.

* MightyGlacier: Pretty much every boss until you've become sufficiently leveled.

* MonsterModesty: Barbariccia.
* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: Malboros and Typhon.

* FourIsDeath: The Black Knights from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyII'' return. They're much easier to beat this time.

* DownloadableContent: Additional heroes and three extra maps based on VII, X, and XIII.

* {{BFS}}: Cloud has his iconic sword, in sprite form.

-->''"''Final Fantasy: All the Bravest'' Stands As an Insulting Excuse for a Game"''
-->--[[http://www.1up.com/do/blogEntry?bId=9117494 1Up.com's]] title for their review of the game.

While the game may sound awesome, the product is decidedly not. Due to a large amount of DLC (adding up to almost $50 to unlock it all), simple and limited gameplay, and virtually no story or character customization, the game's claim to infamy is that fans and critics alike despise it -- the above quote is pretty much the universal response. While the game uses heavy doses of nostalgia to win over fans, its design and overemphasis on downloadable extras has earned their ire instead.

Eventually became free to download instead of costing 3.99 up front, ''slightly'' reducing the complaints about monetization.

* BribingYourWayToVictory: You can buy frenzies and ressurections to beat a troublesome fight. A lot of fan ire comes from the fact that most boss fights are tuned to more or less require this.

* FiveManBand: Many of the traditional ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' parties can be formed. There's enough job variety to make it a ''Twenty Five'' Man Band.

* {{Microtransactions}}: One of the biggest complaints about this game is the ridiculous amount of DLC and relatively shallow campaign. If you run out of hourglasses and don't want quit or to wait an hour and a half for your army to auto revive, you'll have to spend another 99 cents. If you want a famous ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' hero in your party, you'll have to pay an additional .99 cents. Also, the game chooses randomly out of 35 characters, thus forcing you to try again with ''another'' .99 cents if you didn't get the one you wanted. The DLC campaigns in [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Midgard]], [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyX Zanarkand]], and the [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII Archylte Steppe]] are all 3.99 ''apiece'', the price of the app itself!

* RevisitingTheRoots: Square Enix attempted to present this game as this, considering all the shoutouts and references. Upon seeing all the DLC, fans had other ideas.

* SeriesMascot: Chocobos, though pretty much all the Premium DLC character are a mascots in their own rights.

Originally released on January 17th, 2013, ''Final Fantasy: All The Bravest'' is a 2D RPG for the iOS. The game features iconic jobs, characters, locations, monsters, and music from several ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' titles. The basic premise is the individual worlds of the series have somehow come together amidst a solar eclipse, and previously defeated evils have returned with a vengeance. Since the heroes from the games are nowhere to be found - unless you purchase them via DLC - the worlds must be saved by the countless unnamed warriors, mages, and other characters fighting as a united front. By using the touch screen, a party of up to 40 characters can use the Active Time Battle system to defeat some of the most prominent villains of the series. While the game uses heavy doses of nostalgia to win over fans, its design and overemphasis on downloadable extras has earned their ire instead.

* ZergRush: While there is some strategy is triggering your fighters in the proper sequence to avoid attacks, all combat pretty much boils down to your army of three-digit damage range warriors wailing on enemies with thousands of HP until they fall.

* BossRush: Of all the prominent villains of the series, including [[FinalFantasyI Garland]], [[FinalFantasyV Exdeath]], and [[FinalFantasyVI Kefka.]]

* ExcusePlot: The ''FinalFantasy'' multi-verse is being invaded by its most famous villains! Are you a brave enough dude to stop them?

* FiveManBand: Many of the traditional FinalFantasy parties can be formed. There's enough job variety to make it a ''Twenty Five'' Man Band.
* FourIsDeath: The Black Knights from FinalFantasyII return. They're much easier to beat this time.

* GlobalAirship: It lets you backtrack to any place you've already beaten. It can also take you to [[FinalFantasyVII Midgard]], [[FinalFantasyX Zanarkand]], and the [[FinalFantasyXIII Archylte Steppe]]. You have to pay extra to reach those, though...

* IconicLogo: The game features a parody of the usual ''FinalFantasy'' logo, complete with old school character sprites.

* SideQuest: [[FinalFantasyVII Midgard]], [[FinalFantasyX Zanarkand]], and the [[FinalFantasyXIII Archylte Steppe]] are DLC-only worlds aside from the main campaign.

* StockRPGSpells: Stock ''FinalFantasy'' spells, even. However, each character class can only do ''one'' spell or attack each, thus severely under-representing the series as a whole.

* LuckBasedMission: Every battle, technically. The parties are randomized each time, which means it's possibly to have a small army comprised of white mages,thieves, and other light-hitters.

* ZergRush: The massive number of heroes you control can make this strategy attractive early on.
** Due to the way the game's designed, this is the ''only'' strategy that is effective.

* AllegedlyFreeGame: Retails for $0.00 on the [=AppStore=], but, [[{{Microtransactions}} as highlighted below]], the amount of microtransactions needed to unlock everything it offers is absolutely ludicrous. How ludicrous? The staff of [[http://kotaku.com/5977118/the-slow-excruciating-death-of-final-fantasy Kotaku]] dubbed it "''[[http://img.gawkerassets.com/post/9/2013/01/ff-fugum.jpg Final Fantasy: Fuck You Give Us Money]]''".

* ZergRush: The ''only'' strategy the game lets you use.
