If you liked FF3 and/or 5, Final Fantasy Dimensions. It's made in the style of those games, but built for mobile. Don't let the price tag scare you, though, it's a fully fledged 50+ hour Final Fantasy RPG.
E: Just checked... it's half off right now! $7 is a steal for this game. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.square_enix.android_googleplay.ffl_gp
>Final Fantasy Dimensions is a great modern FF game made in the 16-bit style, and it is actually only available on mobile.
Woah! I've never even heard of it. FF6 is my favorite game ever, so I gotta play this!
If you can't find it then your device is probably incompatible. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.square_enix.android_googleplay.ffl_gp&hl=en
Like I said, it's been out awhile.
I get what you meant to say, but what I'm saying is that the perception of value people have when it comes to mobile games is unrealistic. What $10 or $15 dollars pays for is a pretty tiny game. No Final Fantasy was made for a price point of $15 dollars, that is only possible because it's a recycled project, and you get far more than what would be your money's worth.
Actually, just now I'm reminded of one new Final Fantasy that is $14. This one, Final Fantasy Dimensions. Just look at it. It looks like a RPG Maker game made with recycled SNES assets. That's the production values that $10-15 gets you, not Final Fantasy 7.
Beyond that, free is even more of an illusion. " Free " is active deception. It's what they say to a newcomer while they are taking $1000 from an invested player. Believing in " free " is one part of what brought us to where we are, the other part being greedy investors using psychology science to literally brainwash their audience.
Check out Dimensions (1, not 2) on mobile. It's the greatest Final Fantasy game no ones ever played.
Long and short is you play as a groups of heroes that gets split into alternate realities. The Warriors of Light, and Warriors of Dark. All of them can use the standard 7 classes (warrior, monk, thief, summoner, red/black/white mage), but each set also gets 4 unique classes (Light get Bard, Memorist, Paladin, Seer where Dark get Dark Night, Dancer, Ninja and Magus). There's also a cool skill system where if you have two skills available on your character and use one of them in the right circumstances it creates a new ability that is more or less a combination of the two, and you can then use that regardless of class. Makes for a neat little addition to the job/skill/spell system. You don't need to run a white mage or even white magic to get a mega protect/shell/reflect ability on all your allies, you just need to level up Paladin and Seer and have someone use the ability at the right time to unlock the fusion ability and then you can stick them back as a monk or thief or whatever you want. It really adds a third level of customization to your characters besides their job and their abilities.
Other than that it feels and plays identical to most of the SNES era games. Story is surprisingly well written for what it was (an episodic cellphone game). Took me about 40 hours on my first playthrough to beat it, which is a pretty good amount of time.
Final Fantasy Dimensions, a mobile game for iOS and Android, currently half price due to holidays. First time playing, around 20% of the game done, 100% recommended
The original doesn't look bad at all, Final Fantasy Dimensions. It also seems to have better reviews on the Play Store when I looked it up.

> final fantasy 5 needs a remake,
I'm actually a bit disappointed they have remade all the early Final Fantasy games (As they're working on VII now).
Though they skipped V and VI. I'm not counting the GBA/PC ports with extra dungeons or enhanced pixels either. Those versions are just a copy of the system they used for Final Fantasy Dimensions (Which is actually a really good 'new classic' FF game on it's own I might add). I want a real remake with nice 3D graphics, remastered soundtracks the whole works.
Even Dragon Quest is getting the series overhaul (looking forward to picking up DQ7 my personal favorite).
Mobile is a great platform for puzzles and turn-based RPG's.
I loved Calculords, but it is defunct for the time being, which is a huge bummer.
Letter Quest is a nice word-hunting game I enjoy.
Any of the 8-or-16-bit Final Fantasy games (FF1-6) are great. I finally beat FF6 for the first time recently playing exclusively on the treadmill, which was great.
Final Fantasy Dimensions is a great modern FF game made in the 16-bit style, and it is actually only available on mobile.
I also personally love Moititi's timekiller semi-idle RPG's, especially Minute Frontier.
Well... all of these might not be paid and or ad free because I don't remember if they are or not. But I really enjoyed each of them:
Final Fantasy - Square Enix has put a bunch of them up on Android and they are pricey for mobile games at $15 a pop. But they are well worth it if you want to invest the time in them. Particularly I have <strong>Final Fantasy Dimensions</strong> which is one of the series I hadn't played.
<strong>Strikefleet Omega</strong> - I think this one might have the ability to do in app purchase but I never had the need to do so. It is by far one of the coolest games I have played on Android. Its use of touch controls in my opinion is up there.
<strong>Carcassonne</strong> - A board game... I was looking for a board game that I could play in my pocket and this was the best one I found. It gives you the ability to play the game and learn it.
<strong>Pixel Dungeon</strong> - Its not paid but it is one of the best Android games on the market. As far as I can remember it doesn't have adds. It is a rogue like game where you go through the dungeon.
<strong>Star Realms</strong> - They have a demo version and then you can buy the full game. It is based on a physical card game. Great strategy game.
<strong>Decromancer</strong> - I am not sure if this one has ads in it or not... but it is a game based on creating an Army (of cards) and deploying them strategically to the "battlefield". I thought it was well done.
<strong>Rymdkapsel</strong> A strategy game that is very abstract. You build different types of buildings to create different units. And you have to defend your base from enemies.
The other thing I can mention is Humble Bundle Mobile. I don't know any of the games currently on there but it might be a cheap effective way to get what you are looking for?

Thought of some more and since you are coming back to it tonight I figured I could add to it:
<strong>Monument Valley</strong> - I have heard this is a really good puzzle game. Haven't played it myself.
<strong>Catan</strong> - If you like board games this is a decent 'port' of the game.
<strong>Ticket to Ride</strong> - Another great board game adaption.
On that note if you like board games here is good list.
<strong>Limbo</strong> - Port of Limbo atmospheric platform puzzler. Great. If you haven't played it, might as well pick this one up here.
<strong>Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic</strong> - A port of the original. I have heard its great on the platform.
<strong>EvoCreo</strong> - Pokemon clone
<strong>Kingdom Rush Origins</strong> - A sequel to one of the best Tower Defense games I have played.
I know you said you didn't like the FF ports but have you tried Final Fantasy Dimensions ? It's basically a modern FFV game with an improved job system, old school style combat, and fun story.
Job system works a lot like FFV except most of the jobs are more or less balanced and instead of just having 10 job levels there's 20 levels and instead of having access to all the job levels when you unlock a job you have to unlock levels with JP. You get JP for completing story quests and for finding specific things in the world. In addition to the job abilities there's fusion abilities between different jobs so you really gotta think on how you wanna level your characters. Everyone gets the same amount of JP but have their own pools.
Combat is old school deadly with a bit of grinding required (least to buy all the gear you'd want from shops) and random encounters requiring hefty use of spells/abilities to survive. Isn't a "spam attack until dead" situation. Even a decent number of hard optional bosses each chapter in the form of summons.
Story is pretty fun old FF like: save the crystals and defeat the evil empire. Minor spoilers ahead. Difference is you have two parties the Light Warriors and the Dark Warriors. Each party set has same initial jobs but as the story on they unlock their own unique jobs. Light Warriors get things like Paladin and Dragoon while Dark Warriors get stuff like Dark Knight and Ninja. While for the majority of the game they are separate they come together towards the end of the game for some fun party setups.
Other thing for completionist while in the main story JP is finite (think everyone gets 99 if you do all the moogle things) once you beat the game there is an optional super dungeon that opens up. There are some super bosses in the dungeon and each time you beat them they give you JP...and get stronger. Which opens up more and more job combinations and challenges.
Downside isn't really gameplay but SE obnoxious phone DRM. Least for me on a HTC DNA with 4.0 if I turned off my phone or if it turned off due to inactivity the game stops completely and when you turn the phone back on it starts up. Now it has it's own auto save feature but it auto saves after battles and periodically while walking around...but not during a story cutscene. So if you just beat a boss and something comes up so you turn the phone off you are going to load right before you fought the boss. You can circumvent this by opening up any other app first (mainly I tab back to gmail or chome) and when you turn your phone back on you can tab back to FF:D and it doesn't restart.
Overall I really liked this game WAAAAAY more than I thought I would and filled that niche you wanted (something to do on the phone during breaks and stuff at work). It has some really high production value for a cell phone game it's sad that's all it was released on.
