Of course, you’ll be facing a tough battle if you’re underpowered and choose to take on a large batch of baddies all at once, so that’s a gamble gamers will have to consider. While you’ll start off being able to store up to 30 enemies, Sakaguchi says you’ll eventually be able to hold up to 40 or 50 enemies. “So instead of that being interrupted by random encounters, we wanted to give players the option to, if they wanted to, focus on exploration and discovery of the game,” he said. He watched as they walked through multiple areas, transitioned between screens, and ultimately found that to be a rewarding way to explore the game’s environments. While testing the game on a touchscreen, Sakaguchi tells us, he had a character try to reach a treasure chest in a far-off area. (That’s how I plan to spend most of my time with the game.)įantasian’s “Dimengeons” system, an alternate dimension where you can save enemy encounters for a later time, came about almost by accident. In that respect, he’d recommend playing on a large-screened iPad. “There's a lot of this human touch, so I think that’s very synergistic,” he said.
“I think that really highlights a lot of attention in detail, especially in the diorama and handcrafted nature,” Sakaguchi said.Īnd while he admits he’d be happy to see others play the game at its highest resolution, he’s also intrigued by touchscreen interfaces, as it's almost like players are directly touching the hand-built backgrounds.

As an Apple Arcade title, you’ll be able to play it on iPhones, iPads, Macs and even the Apple TV, with your progress following across every device.Īs for his preferred platform to play the game, Sakaguchi says he mostly plays on his Mac with a studio monitor, so he can closely inspect the game’s 4K textures. Naturally, you’ll end up diving into a greater mystery: Why the world is being taken over by a mechanical infection. You play as Leo, an amnesiac boy who’s seeking to reclaim his memories in a world ruled by machines. Sakaguchi was featured in Apple Arcade's developer teaser, back in March 2019.Aside from the diorama effect, Fantasian appears to be an otherwise traditional RPG. While the game doesn’t have a release date yet, it’s coming soon to Apple Arcade, apparently exclusively. Your characters seem to pack the usual combination of HP and MP, and battles tease a system of guarding and buffs to complicate things further. The battles otherwise appear to be turn-based, with attacks able to affect multiple enemies and locations. There appears to be a limit as to how many enemies you can avoid before having to deal with them in one fell swoop, but it’s a nice way to be able to focus on exploration or story, and keep battles available when you’re ready for a big fight. While you can still be distracted by the occasional random battle, you can also simply pocket them in an alternate dimension (the “dimengeon”), and tackle an entire mob later down the line.

The big departure might be how you deal with random encounters, an RPG feature epitomized in Sakaguchi’s own Final Fantasy series and other JPRGs like Dragon Quest. The game will also feature music by Nobuo Uematsu, who also composed the soundtrack to some of the most popular Final Fantasy games in the series. Those cities that get crushed underfoot by giant monsters? Someone had to make those.

Each of these scenes - there will be over 150 of them - were crafted by artists from Japan's “Tokusatsu” movie industry, some of whom worked on the Godzilla films, Attack on Titan, and Ultraman.
