The first half of Fantasian, the new turn-based JRPG from Mistwalker, came out on Apple Arcade earlier this year, and now the second half is almost here.
Fantasian will be updated with part 2 this Friday, August 13.
While the first part of Fantasian was described as being more story-driven, the second half is described as being quest-driven.
As far as I know, this will be the conclusion of the game. It was always discussed as a two-part release.
Part 2 will have 40-60 hours of content, new areas and music, and new gameplay features, including the ability to swap party members in and out of combat. Two trailers for the second part were revealed alongside the news, a story trailer and a gameplay features trailer.
I keep hoping Fantasian will be ported to another system, but if not, I’ll need to wait on this intriguing JRPG until I have a device that can run Apple Arcade.
Did you play the first half of Fantasian? Are you looking forward to the second? And do you think there’s any chance of a port? Let me know!
I started playing Fantasian, got a few hours in very casually, and just… kind of stopped. The art style is nice and they did an interesting way of incorporating the touch screen for battle commands. Maybe I’ll go back to it someday.
A port would be so nice, but Mistwalker in general doesn’t seem to ever port their games. (Poor The Last Story, forever trapped on the Wii…)
