Fantasian is a game I’ve had my eye on ever since it was first announced.
The most recent game to come from Hironobu Sakaguchi’s company Mistwalker, Fantasian is a turn-based JRPG reminiscent of classic Final Fantasy, and it looks fantastic.
However, it’s currently exclusive to Apple Arcade.
Back in December, when we learned of a new Mistwalker game in development, I mentioned that I finally had a device capable of playing Fantasian. Indeed, I used the Apple Arcade free trial that came with my new iPad to start Fantasian a few months ago.
I really like what I’ve played so far… and I really dislike playing it on a tablet.
It looked like there was no port in sight, but now that might finally be changing. Fantasian has appeared on SteamDB, the site that tracks everything in Steam’s database. While there’s no official announcement yet, this could mean an impending Fantasian PC port.
Since I’ve only played the start so far, I’d be more than happy to buy Fantasian on PC and play it there instead. Having it on consoles would be even nicer, but I’m just excited at the possibility that it might be finally leaving Apple Arcade exclusivity.
Will you play Fantasian if it’s finally ported?
I started Fantasian while I had apple arcade… it seemed fun but I just couldn’t get into it as a mobile game. But I’d give it another try if it’s on another system!
Here’s hoping!
[…] then they announced… Fantasian! Yes! Ever since Fantasian appeared on SteamDB, I’ve been (im)patiently waiting for news of a port, and now it’s finally coming to PC […]
