The smaller characters physically sit on the heads of the larger characters – that’s the amusing part. In addition to your main protagonists, you can take up to four captured monsters into battle, and these teams are arranged into two “stacks” – rows of three characters apiece. The combat system is both unique and amusing too. But those issues are relatively unimportant to the overall vision, and World of Final Fantasy very much feels like a love letter to the series, for fans, and made by fans. If there’s any criticism that can be levelled at the game’s narrative it’s that it can feel disjointed at times, and the overarching plot that is meant to tie everything together is nowhere near as interesting as the smaller, nostalgia-filled arcs along the way. The obligatory sidekick character is a little irritating with his arbitrarily “quirky” speech pattern, but otherwise the interplay between each of the major characters is charming and light, and because much of the game plays out like a tour of Final Fantasy’s history, you’re constantly meeting new characters and entirely different plot arcs. World of Final Fantasy is a good-natured game, and indeed this is one of the reasons that it’s one of those JRPGs that I’ve managed to find the time to complete a few times now. On the Nintendo Switch, in handheld mode, the game is especially gorgeous, with the screen small enough such that the uncluttered environments don’t like they’re “simple” or “empty”, while it’s also big enough that, unlike on PlayStation Vita, you can more easily see the smaller details, which is where the game finds much of its humour and quirks. It looks very much like what you might expect from one of the SNES or NES Final Fantasy entries, were those visuals taken and directly spun into 3D art. Eschewing the realistic aesthetic that the main, numbered series has always aimed for, World of Final Fantasy has cute little people with oversized heads, and every environment is drawn boldly and colourfully for a maximum cartoonish effect. To push the nostalgia to that little greater extreme, World of Final Fantasy is also impossibly cute. I mean, the very first creature is a chocobo chick, and it just doesn’t get more adorable than that. Familiar music plays on in the background, and those Pokémon-like monsters that you collect are all fan favourites. You run around a world that is filled with highlights of the older Final Fantasy titles, fighting familiar enemies, and meeting (and assisting) familiar faces. This new and enhanced version of WORLD OF FINAL FANTASY also features the Avatar Change system, which allows the protagonists, Reynn and Lann, to fight as Champions.Related reading: Our review of the original World of Final Fantasy, on release for PlayStation 4įor those that missed the initial release, World of Final Fantasy is a love letter to the Final Fantasy of yesteryear, wrapped up in as a Pokémon-like monster collecting structure.
