Fantasian Neo Dimension Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
With an engaging dub, thoughtful combat, and a commendable cast, Fantasian Neo Dimension is one of this year's best — and one of Mistwalker's finest titles.
Fantasian Neo Dimension feels like a long-lost PS1-era JRPG, which makes a lot of sense since it's by the brilliant minds at Mistwalker, aka Hironobu
Originally an Apple Arcade exclusive from 2021, Fantasian Neo Dimension brings together handcrafted diorama environments, strategic turn-based combat, and the musical genius of Nobuo Uematsu in a fresh take on the JRPG genre. In this review of Fantasian Neo Dimension, we’ll explore Mistwalker and Square Enix’s enhanced version of Fantasian, now available across multiple platforms including Nintendo Switch, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. As producer Naoki Yoshida noted, many players mi...
Fantasian: Neo Dimension is a turn-based RPG set against a backdrop made from nearly 160 handmade dioramas that blends physical environments and 3D characters.
Don't let the classical Japanese RPG charms fool you—this one's tough.
FANTASIAN Neo Dimension is a triumphant return to classic RPG storytelling and gameplay, blending a nostalgic charm with innovative mechanics. A must-play for genre fans.
Hironobu Sakaguchi and Nobuo Uematsu team up again for Fantasian Neo Dimension, which has a lot to live up to. A lot of gameplay mechanics and varied bosses come at the player, but how well does this comeback fight turn out?
Ever since I read that Hironobu Sakaguchi and Nobou Uematsu were uniting once again on a JRPG I was immediately filled with excitement at the prospects the partnership would bring. This JRPG ultimately became Fantasian, which released in two parts in 2021 exclusive to Apple's mobile game streaming service Apple…
FANTASIAN is a nostalgic JRPG by Mistwalker. With charming visuals, classic combat with a twist, a varied cast, and lovely music, the game is a worthy throwback to classic JRPGs despite its slow pacing.
FANTASIAN Neo Dimension masterfully revives classic JRPG elements. Originally an Apple Arcade exclusive, its transition to PC and consoles allows the game to shine.
The release of a PC port for Fantasian is something many JRPG players have been requesting since its release in 2021, albeit with little hope due to Apple owning the rights on its mobile Apple Arcade Platform. Well, those requests have finally been answered as Fantasian Neo Dimension combines the two mobile releases with added English and Japanese voiceovers along with 4k support for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC via Steam.
In the end, Fantasian Neo Dimension is still a solid offering from Mistwalker, one that brought back memories of classic RPGs I played decades prior, including those featuring work from Sakaguchi and Uematsu. References and callbacks abound, though there are still refreshing concepts to keep you engaged for dozens of hours, including a secret dungeon and a new game plus mode. Just watch out for the annoying camera movements all throughout and the ridiculous number of encounters toward the later portion of the game.
