It's also one of the only things about Fantasian that feels original. Hopefully, Fantasian eventually makes its way to other platforms.Įven when playing the game on an iPad, though, Fantasian still looks fantastic and it would be great to see this kind of art style used in other JRPGs down the line. Sakaguchi may be retiring soon, and one of his last games may very well be Mistwalker's latest, Fantasian, which is yet another classic-style JRPG, but with an interesting twist.įantasian's main gimmick is that its game world is meant to look like a diorama, which gives Fantasian a unique art style and lends itself well to some rather breathtaking views. Honestly, it's almost a shame that the game is restricted to Apple Arcade and will mostly be played on devices like iPhones and iPads because the smaller screens don't do the game's gorgeous art justice. Since its inception, Mistwalker has delivered a number of old-school JRPG experiences, ranging from traditional titles like Blue Dragon to mobile games like Terra Battle, with varying degrees of success. Hironobu Sakaguchi is best known as the creator of the Final Fantasy franchise with what is now Square Enix, but since the mid-2000s, he has been creating new IP with his own studio, Mistwalker.
