  Fantasian is a very demanding experience, and you really have to be in love with its mechanics to put up with it all. Heaven knows the narrative isn’t going to keep you motivated. Fantasian is an absolute masterpiece in most regards, and yet I find myself struggling to recommend it.

  Fantasian is a fantastic RPG, and will probably be a strong contender for GOTY deliberations later this year. Though it might not hurt to wait for a few patches for lingering issues to be resolved, and to consider if you’re up for the challenge that the game will provide.

  It has just enough sheen to bring it into 2021 without denying where its inspiration comes from. If you’re able to play it with a controller via bluetooth on your phone or iPad or on your MacBook, that would be the definitive way to play, but all that matters is that you give it a try and fall in love with the world of Fantasian.

  In its turn-based nature, the battle system manages to feel fresh through unique abilities, which make this a must-play for anyone craving a classic JRPG experience. longtime fans will recall an adventure long since forgotten

  Fantasian was something of an impulse play for me. I hadn’t considered getting an Apple Arcade subscription before I found out about the game, but so far, I’m glad I did. Of course, I’m pretty immersed in the Apple ecosystem, so it was an easier adjustment for me than it might be for others. I’d like to hope that Fantasian may one day make its way to other systems — it felt like it would be right at home on console and PC when I played it on my Apple TV — but for now, it’s Apple or bust.

  Any Final Fantasy or JRPG fan is going to want to check this one out, as its gameplay, soundtrack, and accessibility create a fun experience, you’ll likely forget you’re even playing on a phone. One can only hope that future mobile games can follow in the footsteps of what Fantasian has done.

  It doesn't feel like the proper last big hoorah for legendary game developer Hironobu Sakaguchi or composer Nobuo Uematsu (who does a tremendous job with the soundtrack), but it's still a decent, familiar JRPG experience and one of the more interesting games currently available on Apple Arcade.

  This is a wonderful game with an outstanding battle system that is brought to life with what could be the best art direction of 2021.

  Fantasian was designed by legendary RPG king Hironobu Sakaguchi as a love letter to games like Final Fantasy 6. It works in many interesting ideas such as the ability to drag a spell in a way to throw it like a curveball and hit multiple enemies or ones behind shields.

  If you loved early Final Fantasies this will be like coming home. Despite modest innovations, the core of the gameplay, battles, and characterisation are just as they were in the classic Japanese role-playing game.
