Despite being the first Final Fantasy game I had played in a long time, World of Final Fantasy felt like something new yet quite familiar – and the fact that it was easily accessible and fast to pick up made it all the more fun. While the whole Lillikin/Jiant thing tends to get old pretty fast, some might enjoy the consistent chibi characters and the art style that is bright and has a happy glow to it. The battle mechanics are definitely fun, if not a little crazy, and of course, no Final Fantasy game would be complete without quite...

An experimental addition to the series that ended up having something fresh for everyone, regardless if you are a veteran FF fan or a newcomer.

Whether you’ve played past titles in the franchise or not, World of Final Fantasy is a seriously strong JRPG that any fan of the genre should get a kick out of. Emotional, hilarious and deep, it proves yet again that a good RPG is about more than just thwarting a world-ending menace - it’s about the journey and everyone who makes it worthwhile.

World Of Final Fantasy makes its way onto PC, but stumbles a bit in the process.

World of Final Fantasy is a love-letter to the entire Final Fantasy franchise and its diehard fans. This is pure uncut Final Fantasy directly injected into your veins. Newcomers to the franchise will find an accessible battle system to work with but a completely convoluted and, frankly, bad story to deal with. The soundtrack is worth sticking around for, though.

Over the years, there have been a few attempts to unify the many worlds within the Final Fantasy universe. World of Final Fantasy accomplishes that feat in a masterful way so mount your Chocobo and let's explore this new yet familiar territory.

That’s World of Final Fantasy in a nutshell. For those invested in the series up to this point, it’s so worth playing. It’ll mean a lot to the fans to go on an adventure, fight, and grow with the monsters that were only ever enemies in the past. Its weak story detracts from the experience a little, but the power of well-done nostalgia farming overshadows it easily.

World of Final Fantasy was first announced at E3 2015 as a 30 year celebratory title. Even though I only caught wind of it a bit later than that, I have been dying to play this game ever since. Set in the world of Grymoire you play as the twins Lann and Reynn, who each hold the power to capture and train creatures known as mirages in your quest to fulfil a 100 year old prophecy. Guided by a cute fox like mirage by the name of Tama, World of Final Fantasy is an all-star smorgasbord of Square...

If you can handle the game's slow pacing, World of Final Fantasy provides a good experiment to the classic formula. Given that Tose handles so many of Square Enix's ports, it's nice to see them be thrown a bone with an original title. I'd suggest this one while waiting for the eventual release of Final Fantasy XV.

This Square Enix/Tose collect-a-thon hopes to profit off its nostalgia-fueled setting and characters. But does this chocobo have a decent amount of pep in its step? Or is its appeal just skin-deep, all flashy chibis and phoenix pinions?

Bringing back all the classic elements that made the 90s Final Fantasy titles so great. Square Enix deliver a truly wonderful ride down memory lane.

If there's anything that defines the Final Fantasy series is the sense of familiarity. Those who have enjoyed the series for years can always be sure to find recurring elements that tie everything together, despite games being set in different universes. World of Final Fantasy brings this sense of familiarity to new heights, while sporting some new gameplay mechanics that do make the game stand out from the rest of the series.

World of Final Fantasy is so much bigger than any other Final Fantasy spinoff I’ve experienced. Out of the gate, it’s an incredibly lengthy JRPG with full voice acting, cutscenes everywhere, hundreds of characters, and more. There’s a fair amount of fluff and filler spread throughout the lengthy RPG, but its tail end features some great nostalgia trips and fun character moments. It’s a great celebration of the legacy of Final Fantasy that’s a blast for fans old and new.

Overall, World of Final Fantasy is one of the few PlayStation 4 JRPG's I can recommend across the board. The game is light-playing, but incredibly enjoyable for Final Fantasy buffs while also being a perfect entry into the series. Beyond a few small annoyances – Tama more than anything – the game is easy enough to play for hours on end or in small, nightly sessions. More importantly, World of Final Fantasy is perfectly suited for both PlayStation 4 and Vita – if you need a light JRPG fix before FFXV, I couldn’t recommend this game more highly.

That isn't to say that World of Final Fantasy isn't worth the time. World of Final Fantasy is a remarkable blend of old-school JRPG mannerisms and innovative, mold-shattering gameplay elements that challenge what a Final Fantasy game is "supposed" to look like. Later this year, Final Fantasy 15 might challenge the genre once more, with the might of a tireless multimedia machine supporting it while it does - but World of Final Fantasy has very much done the same, and it is quietly, and cutely, one of the best Final Fantasy games in recent memory.

Billed as an accessible spin-off based on Square Enix's beloved role-playing property, World of Final Fantasy is a colourful and buoyant game with an emphasis on collecting and battling monsters. Featuring critters and characters from past Final Fantasy titles, existing fans of the series will get more out of the experience, but the game's aforementioned accessibility also makes it a manageable starting point for those who may be new to the franchise – or to turn based RPGs as a whole.

World of Final Fantasy is a humorous adventure that is just too cute for words, but its combat and exploration aren’t diverse enough to support a campaign nearly as long as this one. However, I did enjoy it for a long time - more than 30 hours - before it wore out its welcome.

Building a game around nostalgia can often backfire, but the classic style battle mechanics mixed with the capturing and stacking of Mirages make World of Final Fantasy a trip down memory lane that any fan of the franchise should check out.

World of Final Fantasy wants to be fan service for everybody, an almost impossible task in such a long-running, varied franchise. In that regard, the game may look like lighthearted filler on the surface. But those shimmers of something greater and World of Final Fantasy’s more original, modern elements are worthwhile, even if they don't quite make up for the hours of annoyances that pay lip service to nostalgia.

Overall, I’ve quite enjoyed my time with World of Final Fantasy, listening to the twin’s banter, reading the descriptions of the various Mirages and experimenting with the possible stack combinations. If you want to get into Final Fantasy, or have been into it for a while now, World of Final Fantasy is a game you should check out.

Finally, a game that celebrates a storied series like Final Fantasy. They leveraged both their own classic mechanics and characters to elevate a solid core, and then made it even better by mixing in some elements from other genres. Final Fantasy fans will surely get the most out of it, but I have no problem telling anybody that World of Final Fantasy is a good time.

The last few mainline Final Fantasy titles made major modifications to the series’ long-standing formula, experimenting with new structures and battle systems. World of Final Fantasy casts that aside, deliberately returning to its roots and celebrating the series’ past, both in terms of cast and mechanics. You control twin siblings (Lann and Reynn) with the power to capture monsters, which is a thinly veiled excuse for players to embark on a greatest-hits tour of Final Fantasy’s extensive bestiary. The range of beasts is impressive, from fan-favorites like Behemoths and Moogles to deeper cuts like Skull Eaters and Nightmares. You collect...
