For me I found I get "Mount Data File Failed" Error depending on the rom. Most roms i get that If I am rooted with Magisk and SuperSU won't work on 8.1 Android. The only work around I found was to unroot when I want to play FFT. I have to unroot when going to play it. So I would root to edit the save.bin file and after I save the new file I just unroot and FFT will have the changes made and will be able to play it. Just need to root if you wish to edit it again.

I found the culprit. The ROM is not the problem. It's magisk. If I remove my magisk completely, the game runs just fine. No 'Mount Data File Failed' error message. I've tried removing and reinstalling magisk like 3 times just to make sure.

The game runs just fine on Lineage OS. Even the Lineage Super SU root doesn't cause the 'Mount Data File Failed', but it does break my safetynet. I think I'll keep my magisk, I can still play FFT by reinstalling Lucky Patcher anyway, that's my workaround. I can't stand to have my safetynet broken. Also, root access is very important for me. It's kinda interesting though seeing the interaction between FFT, Magisk, and LuckyPatcher.

Could anyone give me the comprehensive data structure for FFT WoTL Mobile version (iOS & Android)? So I could write a save editor program since I've seen a lot of people complaining about how scarce the feature of LIOS editor. Also, I'm planning to write the save editor program with Electron, so it could be easily deployed on any PC platform (Windows, Mac, Linux)

You can always edit FFT: WotL for the PSP and then use PPSSPP for android to play the modified game on your phone. 

If that sounds like something you would be interested in doing let me know and I'll try to point you in the right direction on how to accomplish it. 

Edit:
Note: PPSSPP 1.4.2 for Windows caused FFT: WotL to have numerous audio issues the last time that I tested it.  The issues included missing/muffled sound effects in menus and on the world map.  So... if you have similar issues when using a version for android I would suggest adjusting the audio settings and if that fails then use a different version.

you might want to try to configure your ppsspp settings, like disabling fast ram, changing the graphics settings, etc.
I also found my ppsspp running weird after updating to 1.4.2 when playing Final Fantasy Anniversary Edition. Like graphics artifacts, stutter, etc. I managed to find out the correct settings, now the game run just fine.

I just bought the game like a week ago. When I tried to run it, it said "Mount Data File Failed" just right after the app opened. I don't know what's wrong with it, is it the game which has been updated to detect rooted phone/cheat app (since I installed Lucky Patcher & Game Guardian on my phone) so it shouldn't run. Or simply the game is not compatible with Nougat version of Android (anyone can confirm this?). I had tried lots of things to make the game run, like uninstalling my Game Guardian & Lucky Patcher. I even messed around with my Magisk root manager, tried to unroot my device, wiped cache & Dalvik cache right after that, then reinstalled the game. Still totally the same, got "Mount Data File Failed" error message. I was like gonna refund the game. I reinstalled all my 'cheat' tools. Right before refunding the game, I tried to open the game once more times just to make sure. And guess what? The game ran just fine! It's so freaking weird.

After several times of trials and errors, I noticed the game COULD ONLY RUN on my phone after I installed Lucky Patcher. Just install the Lucky Patcher, no need for patching / any kind of stuff. And only Lucky Patcher, trying to install other apps doesn't work either. That's so freaking weird once again. If my phone got restarted, the game could not run again (Mount Data File Failed error). So I need to repeat Lucky Patcher installation process (uninstall - install) again. It's annoying.

I've tried a pirated version of FFT before, on unrooted Android and it ran just fine (Lollipop version of stock Samsung ROM). Now I got my phone rooted (Nougat version of LineageOS).

This might not be relevant to the thread, but well... Since this thread got the most attention on the Android version of FFT WoTL, I'm just going to post it here.

P.S.: For people who couldn't find the save file, you need to go to 'data' directory twice.
`/data/data/com.square_enix.android_googleplay.FFT_en2/files/FFTSAVE.BIN`
instead of
`/data/com.square_enix.android_googleplay.FFT_en2/...`
(I think I've heard somewhere in StackOverflow that the application data directory is migrated since Marshmellow, so you might not be able to find it there if you're running older version of Android)

the LIOS save editor works with flying colors on my phone. Also, please notice the file permission. In my case, if the file permission is RW_,___,___, the game doesn't detect the save file. But if I change the permission into RW_,RW_,RW_, it works just fine. No error, no bug, no glitch, just no problem at all. And my game is updated to the latest version.
