Mar 5, 2025Those expecting an experience akin to the classic Final Fantasy games may find FANTASIAN Neo Dimension disappointing, whether due to its noticeable mobile roots or its uneven difficulty. That said, it’s not without its charms. The story embraces the familiar tropes of Sakaguchi’s past works, the visuals have an eccentric beauty, and the adventure is excellently accompanied by a soundtrack from none other than Nobuo Uematsu.

Jan 2, 2025Overall, I would say Fantasian is good. But there’s a certain something lacking and while I’m reminded of the nostalgic past, it makes me miss how revolutionary Fantasian’s inspirations were. From the character writing of Final Fantasy VI, the 3D revolution of Final Fantasy VII, one of the first RPGs with near full voice acting in Final Fantasy X, or creating a connected world two years before World of Warcraft with Final Fantasy XI on PlayStation 2. Fantasian isn’t changing anyone’s feelings on RPGs. It’s pretty, silly, and cozy with some genuine heart. But it’s like a beautiful cake. It doesn’t feel like a full meal but it’s tasty and I love looking at it. Fantasian is new-ish, but it’s not Neo.

Dec 4, 2024Fantasian Neo Dimension evokes memories of classic Final Fantasy. It's got an impeccable soundtrack, beautiful locales, and a world that inspires wonder. But it's let down a little by likeable but fiercely archetypal characters and a by-the-numbers story, and it's let down a lot by wild and uneven difficulty spikes that make combat a source of constant frustration in the second half of the adventure.
