I've only just heard about this game today. It releases in 2 weeks? How? It looks like crap. What do you mean it was originally released in 2021? How have I never heard of it? Ooooh, it was a mobile game for the Apple Arcade.OK. That explains a lot.
>>3661413It looks fucking great, but of course permanently seething shitposters like you can't appreciate the painstakingly crafted diorama environments.
>>3661414Don't reply to yourself. I'm bored with fake content and awful strawmans.
>>3661414What a joke. You know the game is bad when it's merits are outside the game itself. >Made with 100% Recycled Ocean Plastic
>>3661413I do like the idea of the crafted dioramas and the designs look as one would expect from a Sakaguchi game but the actual game does still look unpolished.Core FF fans may give him a chance for old times sake but i don´t think he´ll be able to get away with it. At least not from the go. Maybe if some good modders take an interest something could be done.
>>3661423Fuck off schizo.>>3661428Speaking of "strawmans", where have I said anything about the rest of the game? I just said it looks great.
>>3661439Oh, you were seriously telling people how you want them to engage and what they should appreciate. That's even funnier.
>>3661450Why yes, I was mocking that anon's lack of taste and desire to seethe and complain endlessly, as is my right.
>>3661428That's why I'm hesitant to pick it up. Some people say it's more final fantasy than modern final fantasy. But I don't get that impression from the trailers. Hopefully they offer a demo. Because I don't want to spoil it by watching a let's play on youtube.
>>3662242>Hopefully they offer a demo.It's coming out on the Switch. Do the math.I'm thinking about picking it up too, but $50 for a rerelease of an F2P mobile title is too much.
It's another square enix fans slurp up phones games episode
>>3662248Fantasian was never F2P. Apple Arcade releases are subscription based.
>>3661414>It looks fucking greatWell,...
>>3662277You sub to Apple Arcade and don't pay separately for the games themselves. Fine, a $5 mobile game, if that'll make you feel better.
The diorama aesthetic is weird. I mean, photorealistic backgrounds with pixel sprite characters is kind of interesting. But this is 3D models on a photorealistic environment - of a closeup miniature. Idk. Maybe if the models looked like plastic miniatures too?
>>3662302It looks like an evolution of PS1-era pre-rendered background games. I dunno, I like the style. It's certainly eye-catching.
>>3662302I'm not a graphics snob. I can appreciate that they experiment with new looks. I'm more concerned with the story, because it was originally written for a mobile platform. In my experience mobile game plots tend to meander because they were released in chapters or parts over a period of time to keep players coming back. In the case of Fantasian, I read it was released in 2 parts originally. It's going to be like binge watching old TV shows on a streaming platform. They weren't made to be marathoned. Parts are repetitive, because previous episode were aired months or years apart. You know? Cliff hangers that aren't going to keep anyone on the edge of their seat because they go straight into the next episode.
>>3662308>I read it was released in 2 parts originallyTwo parts is not that bad of a split. Probably not going to have the same issues as binging a TV show.
>>3662302>3D models on a photorealistic environmentUgly
>>3662308Is the game in ops picrel a mobile game that's rereleased on pc?
>>3662312More specifically an Apple Arcade game, but yes.
>>3662316Very sceptical about the game. Have you tried it?
>>3662347No, but I will be trying the rerelease.
>>3662349Depends on the price, I reckon.
>>3662352It releases on the Switch, anon. What price?
>>3662355That I didn't know. I was of course talking about the prizes this game ain't gonna win.
>>3661413looked at the trailers and seems derivative. Yet another amnesic protagonist? Why not use Cry On as a base?
>>3662634>amnesic protagonistBasic isn't necessarily bad, but I'm afraid the story here will be shit.
>>3662308I had no issues “binging” ffd, felt like a traditional old ff game to me in terms of story. Granted idk who directed ffd mostly just going off the fact that its also a mobile rpg released in parts. I really liked it despite that. One of my strongests never ever wishes is to see this game properly remade or at least ported on a pc platform. It is the most overlooked and sadly overshadowed game I know of.
People are vastly underestimating this game, it's a real gem that rivals Sakaguchi's work with FFIX and just his career in general. Also the second half is going to filter a LOT of people because that's when the real difficultly kicks in.
It's nice but I won't be buying it unless it's on sale.I already played it on an apple arcade free trial and it's good but gooch already got the bag from apple for it.He's lucky I'm even considering buying it to play again desu.
>>3662634>Why not use Cry On as a base?We're never getting it.Cavia's gone, it's gone. It was gone before AQ and Cavia went under, Gooch killed the soul when he had Kusonoki (the kuso isn't a coincidence btw) take over for Fujisaka, the same happened here.Too much happened between cry on and now, they worked through last story, tera battle and eventually fantasian.Even if in some alternate dimension toylogic & access merged together and Saito/Enix funded it as a small AA dreamproject: I don't think we'd get the cry on of our dreams.
