    War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius is an excellent extension of the Final Fantasy Tactics series. The game features a charming cast of characters who embark on a memorable quest that I wasn’t expecting. Still, there are definitely some balancing issues found in the PVP offerings, which make matches much easier for those who pay. As a fan of Final Fantasy Tactics, I felt right at home in terms of the battle system and turn-based mechanics found in this adventure, which pave the way for a great mobile RPG experience.

    War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius has a two-sided soul: on the surface, it is a good take on the strategy side of the series; on a deeper level, its convoluted structure lead to a pay-to-win mess.

    FFBE War    This review is based on about 9 months of gameplay. I have 15 max level characters with 4 of them being collaboration characters.

    FFBE War of the Visions has a solid core gameplay that will surely please the fans of Final Fantasy Tactics games. There are tons of things to take into account that will surely entertain the most hardcore players but can in turn be a turn-off for slightly more casual players.

    Continuing on with positives the audio-visual experience is a solid one. The artstyle is just gorgeous and beautiful music accompanies the player no matter where they are in the game. Collaboration events with other Final Fantasy titles bring over well adapted versions of characters, enemies and environments. Voice acting is good and brings the (very complex and all over the map) story to life.

    Then to the negatives. The game is too meta-heavy. The character upgrade system is made so complex and convoluted that you will spend most of the time just watching menus. Maxing a character is a feat that takes months and and a lot of resource farming is needed.

    Gachas divide people. If you detest gachas this game is not for you. The gacha system itself in this game is both fair and unfair. Fair in that there are many special banners with decent additional perks. Sometimes there are even Step-up banners that guarantee a featured character on Step 3 or 5. The unfairness comes from a massive pool of characters and as a result a poor rate for getting worthwhile characters. Depending on when you are playing there might even be 20+ banners to pull from. You need a ton of duplicates to make a character useable ( = maxed ) so unless you are ok with farming a couple of shards per day from hard quests you are going to have hard time making anything that is not featured viable to use. Unless you have a ton of gems (50k+) stored up or are willing to spend a fortune in real money the limited time collaboration characters are not going to be for you.

    All of that being said the game is very enjoyable in it's core. If you can live with it's annoyances there is a lot to be enjoyed. Hopefully Square Enix can one day bring a game with this core and artstyle to somewhere like Switch as a premium game with no micro transactions.    … Full Review »

Also the crafting system? YIKES.… Full Review »
