Been excited for this one for a while! I dont have an iphone so I've been waiting for it to come out elsewhere. I love the idea of physical model dioramas, that's probably the closest thing to pre-rendered backgrounds we can get (that's not actually pre-rendered backgrounds) and I'm all for it.
I tried playing Fantasian on my phone just like you and wanted to keep playing it but I’m a console player. I hate gameplay on phones. Hell I play my Switch docked 90% of the time. So happy this is getting a new lease on life with some more bells and whistles. Now if only Lost Odyssey can also be revitalized somehow.
This is in my top 5 favorite turn based RPGs of all time. The battle system and music are outstanding, it has great characters, and set design is unique. Just be prepared for it to get difficult half way through, you’ll need to put on your strategy cap for sure.
I love that there are phone JRPGs. What else am I to do on a long EL (Chicago public transit) ride? I've played quite a few of them because they are great time fillers. Thanks for the review! You're the best!
I played it some on iPad, I think, and it’s just not a great fit for the form factor! Unlike recent turn-based roguelite and classic phone games, THOSE are the right fit. Glad this game is getting another chance on traditional platforms.
Was happy to see this game getting a physical port❤ I am just not a phone gamer😢 I tried. I just preordered my copy from playasia, I’m still a bit concerned on how it will run on the switch? However I’d much prefer to play it in handheld then on my ps5.
@@JustTheGems It probably will be ok on the switch. If my assessment is correct fantasian is not exactly that Graphic intensive of a game yes? At least that’s my guess anyways . I’ll just have to wait tell December to see🤔 regardless I’m still happy the game will have a physical version. If it preforms well I may actually get a second copy to have for a backup
Loved this game on mobile but sadly had to give up around 30 hours due to sever hand cramps and phone overheating. I look forward to being able to play it properly on PC from the comfort of my couch and a controller in hand!
They have literally already come out to say that they’re making the difficulty easier because the original game is so hard. Trust me this game is a fucking monster. I am so glad for this new difficulty to make it easier.
@@SnowCoveredKK brother have you never played a mobile game? Your phone gets hot af!! okay, not to the point of thermal shutdown but the damn thing certainly can get ripping hot unless you have the XL size phone, yeah those don't get as hot, Ihad a 13mini at the time.
There really wasn't much in the way of story in the bit I was able to play. Some small bits of dialog, but nothing that really gave me any context. But I'm optimistic based on its pedigree.
It's been over a week, and I understand you had to fly halfway across the country twice (is that the same as flying across the country once?) but you're going to lose your self-given crown as "the trails guy" if you don't cover Sky FC Remake at some point soon. Surely you didn't forget about Estelle, Joshua, Cassius, Weissman, Loewe, Kloe, Tita, Agate, Schera, Zin, Professor Russell and Queen Alicia, right? Say it isn't so!
That camera shifting all the time gives me old Resident Evil vibes. The fact that it moves that much that quickly feels like it can cause some mild bouts of nausea and some controlling issues.
Thanks for the preview Branden, hyped about this Sakaguchi gem!!!
I really love that it looks like a model map at a real life game shop.
Yeah that is genuinely really cool

Same. Looking forward to this (re)release.
( also agreed on Lost Odessey...that and Blue Dragon were 2 gems on the old 360)
SAME SAME SAME SAME
I appreciate this breakdown, I’m really excited for this game! Loved the Wanted reference too 😂
Glad this is finally coming to console, looking forward to playing it, now if they'd only do the same for Final Fantasy Dimensions..
This looks genuinely interesting...
I’m actually looking forward to this one. It’s one of the few new releases I have on my list for the year.

I didn’t make it through on phone. I don’t like the controls…

I think it'll most likely be fine on Switch, but that's just my gut instinct, I haven't actually tried it on Switch myself

Persona Eye zoom in: How is that possible 👀✨️

"Phone overheating" I felt that...oww 🔥 📛
In what world has an iPhone ever overheated from a game?

@@NemoPropagandayeah I have the big ones. Never had an issue. So…sorry?
The story is what makes the game. How did you like the story so far?

🙋🏻♂️ Fantasian is legit good, even on the phone.
Been waiting for this game forever, such a dumb choice to lock this to apple devices
Apple gave Papa Final Fantasy dev team money to develop this game, so they took it. It's money man 💰

I'm sure I'll talk about it, but there's so little info right now... I guess I could have fun speculating.
@@JustTheGems Isn't "Have fun speculating" the entire purpose of youtube?
@@SuperSupersoda lol ok it's gonna happen
I love both the prerendered backgrounds and the character designs but the two don't mesh well together in my opinion. It's quite jarring to look at.
I played it blown up on a screen with a controller most the time so it never felt like a phone game to me lol
I paid for Apple Arcade for over a year for this game, just for it to remain on my backlog, whoops 🤦🏻♂️
I played it on my AppleTV and on my Mac. You don't have to play it on an iPhone.

Fixed camera angles are pretty much necessary for pre rendered back grounds, you get used to it.
@@glorbojibbins2485 I grew up on it from PS1 JRPGs, I miss it 😅
I was very afraid it might cause nausea for me, and I'm not very prone to nausea from motion... hopefully there are some tweakable settings.
I didn’t make it through on phone. I don’t like the controls…
Happy it’s coming to consoles! The art style is so cool and unique.
