Final Fantasy Explorers

You’ll be able to take along any combination of 3 friends, monsters, or strangers via the internet to get the job done. With 12 Eidolons to capture, 21 jobs to unlock, and 10 different historic characters to collect there is more than enough Final Fantasy fan service offered up in Explorers to ensure that it successfully married the best of monster hunter style action RPGs and the Final Fantasy franchise.

It will reward the patient who can see past its flaws.

Final Fantasy Explorers goes far away from the classic franchise but attracts new players with its adventures. Gameplay now adapts to the difficulty that the player wants, offering a challenge to the veterans and a simple adventure to new explorers.

Explorers won't replace 'Monster Hunter' as king of its genre anytime soon, but what's here is an infinitely more accessible game that does more than enough to set itself apart from others like it. It takes a little while before all of its mechanics are fully revealed, and the repetition will be a turnoff for many, but it's an incredibly fun game overall. An extremely strong start to a promising series.

Final Fantasy Explorers plays like an MMORPG that fits your pocket. It offers a lot of freedom in building your own character, and you will have months of fun on 3DS with Final Fantasy Explorers.

Final Fantasy Explorers is a game that both newcomers and veterans to the online Action RPG genre should enjoy greatly.

Final Fantasy Explorers is a cute and interesting variation of the original Monster Hunter formula, aimed at the less hardcore players. If you like Monster Hunter but you can't stand its high difficulty level, this is the game for you.

Well, yeah, Final Fantasy Explorers is obviously trying to go through the “Monster Hunter Route”, and gain some following in that fanbase, but it’s still a pretty deep and fun game, and way more accessible than Capcom’s top seller.

It's no Monster Hunter replacement, but it's a strong start to a new direction for the esteemed RPG series.

The mix with Monster Hunter mechanics works in the end, as the part MMO, part hunting-game combat system delivers some depth and interesting twists. Of course, is way better when enjoyed with coop.

This decent spin-off will be especially enjoyed by Monster Hunter lovers and by the ones who make use of its multiplayer. But it would have been a much better game if the quests were not so repetitive and the visuals were not so simple.

Final Fantasy Explorers never fully captivated me. Building up your character is fun and the Final Fantasy fan in me enjoyed all the callbacks, but it didn't keep me invested. It gives you plenty to tinker with, but doesn't have the meat to back it up.

I like what Square Enix has done with Final Fantasy Explorers. It has some real potential to be great, but as it stands, it might fall short slightly with a more seasoned Final Fantasy adventurer.

Unoriginal and technically lacking, Final Fantasy Explorers tries to make up for it with a large amount of content and fun multiplayer modes.

Despite these flaws, Final Fantasy Explorers offers a good time with friends taking on iconic enemies from the FF universe- just don’t expect much of a challenge.

Shallow as it is content wise, Final Fantasy Explorers is a love letter to Final Fantasy fans with tons of well known items, jobs, spells, monsters and characters.

A new twist for one of the most established and beloved JRPG series well recreated specifically for 3DS. Interesting and plenty of missions to play alone and (much better) with our friends.
