This isn’t simply a conclusion or epilogue, but almost a sequel on its own - complete with entirely new vistas and even a whole new soundtrack. August 10, 2021Īccording to The Verge, which spoke with Sakaguchi, the second half won’t disappoint either, as it looks like it will be every bit as epic and expansive as part 1 - and probably even more so. Please note the release may happen between midnight of 8/13 and the early morning of 8/14 JST as this is a simultaneous worldwide update.
Fantasian diorama update#
The update to Part 2 of #FANTASIAN is set to release on 8/13 PDT. It’s fair to say that even the most hardcore players would have had weeks of enjoyment before finding themselves waiting in the Chaos World Lab for the amazing things to come when the rest of the story unfolds.įortunately, we won’t be waiting much longer, as Fantasian developer Mistwalker has just rather suddenly announced that the conclusion will be released this Friday, August 13, as part of the weekly Arcade update. To be clear, the first part of Fantasian was an astonishing feat by itself, with dozens of handcrafted physical diorama models, a massive world to explore, and easily 50+ hours of gameplay to enjoy. The first part arrived on April 5 as part of a big Apple Arcade expansion, but there was no indication of when the second one would arrive, which left many fans hanging. There’s little doubt that Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi’s Fantasian is the biggest game title ever to land on Apple Arcade, but frustratingly for many fans, the release was broken into two parts. Subscriptions cost $5 per month and give you access to a library of nearly 200 games, with no ads or in-game purchases.If you’ve spent the past couple of months wandering around the Chaos Fields of Fantasian wondering what to do next, you’ll be happy to know that the second and final chapter of the game is now right around the corner.

I encourage everyone to experience this mysterious 'emotional' energy, which is at the very heart of Fantasian." We have carefully sculpted the experience preserving the 'warmth' of the dioramas with every attention to detail. "On behalf of all the dev team members, diorama artisans and musical talent including Uematsu-san-I think we can safely say that we left nothing on the table. It ended up being, rather unexpectedly, about twice the volume of Part 1 and is more quest-driven, giving players the ability to progress through the world at their own pace," Sakaguchi said in a press release. "The release of Part 2 of Fantasian marks the completion of the saga.
According to Sakaguchi, Part 2 wraps up the saga and features "a more quest-driven style of gameplay," offering approximately 40-60 hours of content. The JRPG arrives on Apple Arcade today, August 13, alongside the new puzzle game Wurdweb, with two more titles-Zen Pinball Party and Zookeeper World-on the way to the service in the near future.ĭeveloped by Sakaguchi's studio Mistwalker, Fantasian is a classic-style JRPG that blends CGI characters with handmade dioramas.
