Eh, might as well.
What is this?
This game, made by Square Enix and DeNA and available for iOS and Android (Windows Phone users are screwed yet again) is the proof that someone at Square Enix did in fact get fired for All the Bravest and that they can make a good mobile game if they try. Record Keeper's story is as follows: All the Final Fantasy stories, or at least I-XIII, are kept safe inside a giant library who the hell knows where, until they start breaking for no good reason, and it's your job to restore them by murdering anything in your path. Basically, it's a big excuse plot that exists solely to put as much fanservice as they can into one game.
How does it work?
Gameplay is largely similar to Final Fantasy games of old, ATB system and all. Here's how the game progression works: You go into dungeons themed after different places and events from Final Fantasy games, and instead of having actual dungeons to explore, you go through a set number of battle gauntlets, how many depends on the dungeon in question, until you reach the boss (most of the time anyway) and your job is to kill everything while making sure you don't die yourself. Now while that may sound like standard Final Fantasy fare, they throw a curveball at you: You have to craft abilites for your characters, ranging from standard black and white magic to more sophisticated stuff like summons and the like. Another thing is that you can only equip two abilities to a single character, and you can only use it a limited number of times, for example you can only use a Fire spell twice in a single dungeon unless you retreat the dungeon entirely. You can also hone said abilities to be able to use them more often, and that is a necessity sometimes.
Do I have to pay for it?
Not at all! The game is free to play, and you can get by without paying money just fine. The game functions on a stamina system, and each round of a dungeon costs a set amount of stamina, but it recharges reasonably quickly (one stamina per 3 minutes) and you can extend how much you have by just clearing out dungeons. The only things money can get you are gems, which have three functions:
1. Restoring stamina if you're impatient
2. Getting a free heal in the middle of a dungeon
3. Relic Draw, which gives you rare equipment.
However, you can also do the same things with mythril, which you also get for clearing dungeons, and there's an event right now where you can get one per day just by playing, so there's nothing you can only get with money. And, as I said earlier, someone got fired for All the Bravest, because in this game you get more characters to play as just by, what else, clearing dungeons. Characters in this game so far range from well-known people like Cecil and Cloud to more obscure people like Josef from FFII and Snow from FFXIII (but no Lightning yet, weird).
Well that was a giant wall of text if I ever saw one. Anyway, I'm no expert on this game but I can give some advice if anyone's having trouble. You can find the game's official website here, and a strategy site/wiki here. I must advise to tread with caution though, as the strategy site has pretty much gone to crap ever since the Rinoa event happened.
