Critic Reviews
- It may not be nearly as culturally seismic as Final Fantasy, but Fantasian Neo Dimension is proof positive that Hironobu Sakaguchi is an RPG maestro – it's another memorable tale that deals with big themes and neat systems, and its arrival on consoles is more than welcome.
Richard Walker · Dec 04, 2024 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - Fantasian Neo Dimension does Apple Arcade's best-kept secret justice on consoles.
George Yang · Dec 04, 2024 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - Additionally, in my experience replaying the game on PC, the new release is remarkably more stable and performant than when we had played the original relaese on Apple TV 4K (2021). We experienced no crashes on any of our PC systems, and performance was strong enough that we are confident that any reasonable PC setup will have absolutely no issues playing the game. Finally, additional improvements such as the new voice acting have had a profound impact on the game's presentation during key scenes, particularly memories. All put together, Fantasian was already a game we were confident in giving our RPG of the Year 2021, and Neo Dimension has thoroughly polished things to a shine. We are proud to give Fantasian: Neo Dimension our coveted 10 out of 10.
James Galizio · Dec 04, 2024 Reviewed on PCRead full review - In a year brimming with amazing JRPGs, FANTASIAN Neo Dimension stands out as one of the best, thanks to its charming characters with well-developed backstories and interactions, emotional story moments, solid combat system, and a very distinctive visual style. While these elements are the evolution of what Hironobu Sakaguchi did with the Final Fantasy series, their execution makes the game a must-play for both longtime fans of the genre and newcomers alike.
Francesco De Meo · Dec 04, 2024 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Fantasian Neo Dimension è un titolo che necessita di essere giocato, sviscerato e portato all’attenzione di tutti. Non c’è nulla di nuovo, tranne un paio di meccaniche interessanti, ma la realizzazione estetica come musicale è di primissima qualità, al netto di quello che è un gioco realizzato con n budget estremamente ridotto. Di questa situazione ne hanno fatto virtù, spremendo ogni singola esperienza in forza a Mistwalker e restituendo un JRPG decisamente notevole.
Gabriele Barducci · Dec 04, 2024 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Fantasian will make you work hard for every win, but the reward's always worth the effort
Kerry Brunskill · Dec 04, 2024 Reviewed on PCRead full review - FANTASIAN Neo Dimension is a vibrant and whimsical RPG from some of the best that have ever done it. The incredibly rich storytelling and setting are bolstered by a quaint and gorgeous world to explore thanks to the striking diorama sets, charming characters and another stellar Nobuo Uematsu soundtrack. Though the game isn’t without its frustrating grinds, it’s more than the sum of its parts. This is a step forward for the turn-based genre thanks to meaningful and much-needed quality-of-life improvements in its tactical nature and pace-controlling Dimengion system. FANTASIAN Neo Dimension proves there is still so much excellence and magnificence to come from RPGs.
Charlie Kelly · Dec 04, 2024 Reviewed on PCRead full review - This definitive version of a charming, inventive throwback to peak Sakaguchi might still feel like a game best suited to an iPad, but it works well enough that it's absolutely worth a look-in for PS1-era Final Fantasy fans who've been unable to play it thus far.
Kieron Verbrugge · Dec 04, 2024 Reviewed on PCRead full review - FANTASIAN Neo Dimension is a beautiful adventure from some of the best RPG creators of all time, and they are at their best here. An emotional story combined with fun combat mechanics and an incredible atmosphere makes this one of the best RPGs of the year and well worth checking out.
Kyle Foley · Dec 04, 2024 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Fantasian Neo Dimension é um excelente relançamento da ótima obra de Hironobu Sakaguchi, uma que acerta em todos os seus elementos. Da história ao gameplay, passando pela trilha sonora e visual, tudo se encaixa em um pacote de alta qualidade e que agradará os fãs de JRPGs.
