Exciting news for JRPG fans and enthusiasts of the Final Fantasy series! Fantasian, a highly acclaimed JRPG created by the core minds behind Final Fantasy, might finally be stepping out of its Apple Arcade exclusivity and heading to PC, and possibly other platforms.
Fantasian has been a hidden gem on Apple Arcade since its launch in 2021. Though it has garnered praise from both critics and players, its exclusivity to Apple Arcade has limited its reach and visibility on other platforms. However, that might be about to change.
Steam Database Discovery
Recently, eagle-eyed fans noticed that Fantasian appeared on the Steam Database as “Fantasian Playtest.” Though there is no full product listing yet, the discovery has sparked speculation that the game is in the process of being ported to PC, offering hope to gamers who have been eagerly waiting to experience this captivating JRPG on different platforms.
The creative forces driving Fantasian are none other than Hironobu Sakaguchi, the producer and writer, and Nobuo Uematsu, the composer. Both are renowned for their contributions to the iconic Final Fantasy series.
Fantasian’s storyline revolves around a young man losing his memory after being transported to an alternate universe. While the premise may not be groundbreaking in the JRPG realm, the game introduces an innovative “Dimengeon” system, allowing players to store and save random encounters for later exploration—an exciting twist in the genre.
Additionally, the game’s turn-based battling mechanics and intricately crafted environments have earned it high praise, thanks to the expertise of developer Mistwalker.
