    It's easy to deride games that lack originality and favour existing ideas. But refining proven designs is just as important as creating them in the first place. This is where World of Final Fantasy shines, and if you're looking for a simple, accessible roleplaying game that stirs up memories past, then you could do much worse.

    The resulting mix is, on every level, a peculiar kind of balancing act – as frustrating as it is charming – and often both at once.

    The fall’s most exciting Final Fantasy game.

    World of Final Fantasy is great. It's a bit on the linear side so far, and I haven't encountered too many situations that will tax a veteran of the series. But approach it as an all-ages take on the franchise, a Final Fantasy that works for both newcomers and old-timers alike (albeit on different levels), and it's surprisingly great.

    Fan service to the maximum. At first I had some troubles with the chibi style, but I must say it grows on you. The gameplay is fun andFan service to the maximum. At first I had some troubles with the chibi style, but I must say it grows on you. The gameplay is fun and addictive, with familiar tunes and characters. I'd say it's a mix of Ni no Kuni and Pokémon - all in Final Fantasy flavor. Maybe not for everyone, but most will be pleasantly surprised. This game is awesome!… Full Review »

    I just wanted to pop on here to defend this game. Let me just say, this is a super fun and fulfilling rpg. If you are or ever have been a fanI just wanted to pop on here to defend this game. Let me just say, this is a super fun and fulfilling rpg. If you are or ever have been a fan of final fan tasy, this game is so full of final fantasy easter eggs and fan service that it's a total joy to experience. It is true that the dialogue is cheesy and the game is very cutesy, but in all honestly, it's very funny. To the critics that are bombing it saying that it lacks merit if you disregard the fn service, I have one question: Why would you even play this game if you aren't already a final fantasy fan? It's calld WORLD of FINAL FANTASY. To the users who are tanking the game, they couldn't be more wrong. It isn't too cheesy and it isn't boring. It is as it was advertised to be: A light hearted Kingdom Hearts style tribute to Final Fantasy fans, if you are looking for a hardcore rpg story and content, wait until FF15 comes out and go back to Destiny or CoD or whatever it is you are playing now.

    World of Final Fantasy is simply the appetizer before the entree which is coming out Nov 29, with the dessert to show up in March (ff7)

    If you are on the fence about buying this game because of the lackluster scores you are reading here, pay no attention, as this is the best true jrpg ive played this year so far, and you will not regret it.    … Full Review »

    Great work by Square Enix. Very polished game. Can see from the high production quality that alot of hardwork and love have been invested.Great work by Square Enix. Very polished game. Can see from the high production quality that alot of hardwork and love have been invested. Graphics, sounds, voiceover, music, combat and everything are very well done. The humour is especially good. Amazing how Square can produced such a high quality FF game together with FF XV. You wont regret buying this game.… Full Review »
