The payfest continues with premium characters—35 big names from Final Fantasy history that will bring their powerful abilities to the player's party for $.99 apiece. Drop a dollar and the game randomly delivers Cloud or Yuna or any of the other premium characters. There is no way to pick and choose. You've just gotta keep paying until the one you want shows up. As an added bonus, these premium characters are automatically assigned to party slots, so if you unlock a character you don't like, tough.

What are we at now, $39? Figure in the option to unlock additional adventures through Final Fantasy VII, X and XIII for $3.99 a shot and the grand total comes to just under $51.

For $50 and change Final Fantasy: All the Bravest delivers an abridged tour of some of Final Fantasy's finest moments and a chaotic explosion of iconic pixel art, all set to wonderful music that's inspired a generation of role-players. Its strength is nostalgia—nostalgia supported by enough spectacle to distract potential investors to the fact that most of the memorable content can be had elsewhere without spending a single penny on in-app purchases.
