6/4/2023 0 Comments Fantasian apple arcade![]() ![]() It’s also an interesting experience in terms of story and world-building. Combined with the mandatory story quests, the open-ended section of Fantasian is a meaty experience. Some of these quests are simple jaunts across town and back, others send your team on adventures to new and previously visited locations with difficult boss battles waiting at the end. Annoying at first, this system did continually goad me into exploring more of the world and completing the not-so-optional sidequests. You have to keep pushing forward into higher-level areas. ![]() This means you can’t just run around the one location killing the same enemies. Once a character hits level 35, they’ll earn a minimal amount of XP when fighting weaker foes. At least, I did.įantasian really doesn’t want people cheesing the game to overpower their team. You can only have three characters in battle at once, but there are some encounters you may find you’ll need the skills of four or five party members to win. As long as a character isn’t dead, petrified, asleep, or enraged, you can switch them out without spending your turn. The game also makes switching party members in battle easy. The next time I did battle, I breezed right through the encounter. After dying six times in a row attempting to beat a boss, I made some minor tweaks to Valrika’s map (Hint: You’re going to want to max out her Arrow Rain asap). You can respec your Growth Map at any time with no artificial cost. Thankfully, Mistwalker made experimenting with character builds as hassle-free as possible. Certain skills can mean the difference between never being able to defeat a foe and beating them in one go. Each character has their own map you can use to unlock new skills as you level them up and I cannot stress enough how crucial many specific skills are for each character. ![]() But once you do get back into the swing of things, you’ll find the second half of this game is just as richly entertaining as the first, making for one hell of a complete package.įinding success in the back half of Fantasian comes down to how well you can study your opponent and your Growth Map. There’s no recap or “last time on” to catch you up on things, so if you haven’t played since April like me, it may take a bit to jog your memory. It just picks up right where you left off. Because there was no indication how long it would take for the rest of the game to show up, and because the first half had a pretty concrete ending, I was under the impression this game would be two distinct parts, like Golden Sun and Golden Sun: The Lost Age.īut really, the second half of Fantasian is just that the second half of one complete game. When the game first released on Apple Arcade, subscribers were only given access to the first half of the adventure, an 18-to-25 hour romp around a world under threat from dangers from another dimension. Right off the bat, I should make it clear there really is no Fantasian part two. I thought there’d be more ballerina hippos ![]()
