Fantasy, the next game from Mistwalker, the studio founded by Final Fantasy the creator, Hironobu Sakaguchi, comes to Apple Aracde later this year. Now we have a new trailer that finally shows the diorama-based JRPG game, including its unique approach to random encounters, called the “Dimengeon system.”
In classic JRPGs, like the ones Sakaguchi did for years at Square Enix, you leave a city, head to a dungeon, and grind through a bunch of random encounters until you get to a boss fight that promotes the story. In the Fantasy, following Mistwalker’s previous mobile game Terra Battle, players will have the option to send enemies they encounter on their journey to another dimension to be fought later. “Players can jump into a Dimengeon whenever they want and enjoy the satisfaction of erasing them all at once” Polygon rEPORTS in a new interview with Sakaguchi.
Here it is in action:
Effectively, you will be able to explore FantasyGreat settings look without annoying interruptions, and then come back later to burn in fights and raise the level as needed. I’m not sure what it says about JRPGs that some of the biggest innovations of these in recent years revolve around the side lining of one of their basic mechanics, but this seems like a smart way to satisfy the game on smartphones. .
Here is some additional information about the game:
- The story revolves around Leo, an amnesiac who loses his memory after being involved in a “massive explosion at a hybrid factory of magic technology”.
- Leo teams up with Kina, a young woman from a dusty border town, to try to discover their destinies together, which include trotting the globe, jumping between dimensions and navigating the “balance of chaos and order”. Natural.
G / O Media may receive a commission
- The story is partly explained by “bitten novels” that players can explore as part of the game’s “memory system”.
- Each medium is based on a real, handcrafted diorama, photographed and scanned in 3D.
- He has an airship.
- Final Fantasy composer Nobuo Uematsu makes music.
Mistwalker has done a number of very good JRPGs in the past, including The Lost Odyssey for Xbox 360 and The last story for the Wii. The latest games from the mobile studio left me much less impressed. But maybe Fantasy can change that.
