Released in 2016, World of Final Fantasy is a charming and imaginative JRPG that combines classic gameplay mechanics with fresh and innovative visuals. Developed by Square Enix and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment, the game is a standalone title in the long-running Final Fantasy franchise, and can be enjoyed by both fans and newcomers to the series.
Story
The story of World of Final Fantasy follows the adventures of twins Lann and Reynn, who awaken in the world of Grymoire with no memories of their past. As they explore this strange and wonderful land, they encounter a cast of colorful characters, both new and familiar, and learn about the prophecy that foretells their role in saving the world from an impending darkness.
Along the way, Lann and Reynn will travel through a variety of Final Fantasy worlds, including those from Final Fantasy I, Final Fantasy VII, and Final Fantasy X. They will also encounter many of the series’ most iconic monsters, which they can capture and raise as their own.
Gameplay
World of Final Fantasy’s gameplay is a mix of classic JRPG elements and new and innovative features. The game features a turn-based battle system, in which players control a party of up to three characters. Each character has their own unique abilities and strengths, and players must use strategy and teamwork to defeat their enemies.
One of the most unique features of World of Final Fantasy is the “Stacking” system. This system allows players to stack their characters on top of each other to create powerful new combinations. For example, stacking a mage on top of a warrior will create a character with both magical and physical攻擊力.
The game also features a deep and rewarding monster-raising system. Players can capture and raise over 200 different monsters, each with their own unique abilities and stats. Players can also fuse monsters together to create even more powerful creatures.
Visuals
World of Final Fantasy’s visuals are one of its most striking features. The game’s world and characters are rendered in a cel-shaded, toy-like art style that gives the game a unique and charming look. The game’s environments are full of vibrant colors and whimsical details, and the character designs are both adorable and expressive.
Music
The music of World of Final Fantasy is composed by Masashi Hamauzu, who has also composed music for other Final Fantasy games such as Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy VII Remake. The game’s soundtrack is a mix of orchestral and electronic music, and it perfectly captures the game’s whimsical and adventurous tone.
Reception
World of Final Fantasy received generally positive reviews from critics. The game was praised for its charming visuals, innovative gameplay, and nostalgic appeal. However, some critics found the game’s story to be too simplistic and its difficulty level to be too low.
Overall
World of Final Fantasy is a delightful and charming JRPG that will appeal to both fans and newcomers to the series. Its unique toy-like visuals, classic gameplay mechanics, and deep monster-raising system make for a truly memorable experience.
