I'm not writing about hacking FFT save files for Android, BUT there's a lot of people on the internet looking for where to find them (for backups or transfers to new devices) and after a fair bit of work, I *have* found the save files for FFT WotL 1.1 on Android 7. It's a totally different place than it was on my previous phone with Android 6 and FFT WotL 1.0. (And just to clarify, WotL 1.0 won't work on Android 7 - you have to have the newest update (done sometime in late 2016, I believe) to WotL 1.1 in order to get it to work on Android 7.
So, if you've been backing up your save files from previous versions of WotL 1.0 on Android 6 or lower (backing up is always a good idea), then follow the path people have posted above:
ROOT > data > data > com.square_enix.android_googleplay.FFT_en2 > files
But NOW, to restore them on Android 7 / WotL 1.1 (or to access them if you want to make a backup), you need to go to a much more obscure path (and you need a rooted file explorer to do this either way):
ROOT > mnt > expand > ######### > user > 0 > com.squre_enix.android_googleplay.FFT_en2 > files
whereas ######### should be the name of your disk, mine is a long hexadecimal string, but I only have one choice so this should be easy for you too
All of this may also be affected by the way I have my external sdcard set up (I have it set up as mixed adopted and portable storage), so others may not actually find this in the same place or the same way. If you're wanting to restore save files from a backup to a fresh install, then you'll have to load the game first and play through the first intro battle and save your game in order for this folder to be there and for you to overwrite it with your backed-up saves from a previous installation/device.
You may also be able to find your unique save path above (after starting a quick game and saving after the intro), by simply searching for FFTSAVE.BIN - but for some reason I couldn't find that in my root search that I ran, and I had to search alternatively.
On another note, my saves from WotL 1.0 seem to load and work just great on WotL 1.1 so that's good news. (I haven't really played much at all since figuring this out, so it's possible I'll run into glitches later from loading a 1.0 save to a 1.1 game, but so far, so good.)
