The latest game from the creator of Final Fantasy could come to consoles
The problem with exclusives is that they deprive us of playing certain games. Being locked to a console, when the console’s lifespan ends, that game can die with it. But it’s even worse when that happens with a platform or service that is not very popular. Like in the case of Apple Arcade. Because while Apple is a very popular company, it is not necessarily the most popular among gamers.
The latest game from the father of Final Fantasy to this day, Hironobu Sakaguchi, was for Apple Arcade. Named Fantasian, it was a JRPG with scanned dioramas to create hyper-realistic scenarios that contrasted with its anime characters. The problem is that the game was an exclusive for Apple’s service and never became very popular. And after months of rumors that there could be a port of the game, it seems that today we could already be facing the day when it is confirmed.
According to insider Nate the Hate, Square Enix has teamed up with Mistwalker, Sakaguchi’s company, to publish Fantasian on Nintendo Switch and Xbox and PlayStation consoles. This would fit with Sakaguchi’s statement last year that he wanted to bring Fantasian to PC and the fact that the game appeared listed in the Steam database shortly after. Something that, when combined with the fact that there is a Nintendo Direct today, makes us suspect that we may be facing an imminent announcement.
In any case, this is all speculation. Nothing has been confirmed yet. But everything points to us being very close to the announcement that one of the latest great JRPGs from the father of the biggest franchise in the genre will finally be released.
Fantasian is a free role-playing game developed by Mistwalker Corporation, available on iPhone.
