Fantasian is a new role-playing game (RPG) from Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi. The game originally release in Japan on April 1, 2021, the same day Final Fantasy VI released in Japan and seems like Sakaguchi planned it that way too. Today, Fantasian releases on Apple Arcade, as long as you have an iOS device: iPhone, iPad, Apple TV.
日本ではFANTASIANがリリースされました。４月２日生まれ。奇しくも、これをつくるきっかけになったＦＦ６と同じ誕生日となりました。めでたい！
FANTASIAN was released in JPN. Coincidentally, it was the same birthday as FF6, which inspired me to create this. Happy Birthday!#FANTASIAN pic.twitter.com/HLtwqgdVRB

The new RPG is the latest game from Sakaguchi’s studio Mistwalker, founded in 2004. The studio well-known for other RPG titles such as: Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, and The Last Story. Each world’s dioramas have been crafted by veterans of a special effects industry, who have worked on projects like the Godzilla films, Attack on Titan, and Ultraman. Fantasian‘s soundtrack composed by another veteran in Final Fantasy franchise, Nobuo Uematsu.
Fantasian Story
The tale begins in a realm governed by machines. Within this multi-dimensional universe, the balance of “Chaos and Order” becomes a key factor in the struggle for these realms and the machinations of the gods who wish to control them. Players will assume the role of protagonist, Leo, who awakens from a massive explosion only to find himself lost in a strange land with only one memory left to him. As players set out on a journey to reclaim Leo’s memories, they will unravel the mysteries of the bizarre mechanical infection slowly engulfing all that is known to mankind.
Those who have an iOS device, will you pick up Apple Arcade to try Mistwalker’s newest RPG? New users can redeem a one month free trial, afterwards $4.99 USD per month, or $14.95 per month with Apple One.
