World of Final Fantasy Critic Reviews

As someone who has been a lifelong fan of Final Fantasy, World of Final Fantasy was specifically designed for people like me, and I love Square Enix for it. Respectful of its heritage, but creative with how it presents it, this game has had a far more meaningful impact on me than almost any other game I’ve played this year. So, thank you, Square Enix. It feels like a gift.

The dialogue may be funny, but the game is far from being a joke. It’s in the running for RPG of the year, if not game of the year and is, by far, the best Final Fantasy title the company has put out in several years.

The best Final Fantasy game in years.

World of Final Fantasy is a loving 30th anniversary tribute to the beloved series, boasting an addictive monster-collection system and a fun (though admittedly goofy) narrative that brings together three decades of characters.

Any Final Fantasy fan, no matter how many past titles they’ve sunk their teeth into, would be a fool to pass World of Final Fantasy up; this is fan service done exactly how it should be.

A surprisingly unique and entertaining addition to the Final Fantasy franchise that uses its cuteness, humor, and accessibility to draw you in.

While playing World of Final Fantasy, all I wanted to do was jump into the world of Grymoire just so I grab and hug the adorable characters. Sure it may not look like your typical Final Fantasy but it’s got the depth of a Final Fantasy. In a way, World of Final Fantasy is a celebration of the franchise, and I personally feel like it’s a thank you from Square Enix to its fans.

It's too soon yet to know if Final Fantasy XV will be a successful entry in the main series. But if you want to place a sure bet, World of Final Fantasy is your winning horse. Enjoyable, entertaining, classic turn-based combat system, a bunch of options when it comes to assemble your team with characters and creatures from all over the franchise... perhaps we expected a little bit more complexity from the fights, but this game holds its name very proudly.

Even though the game is a huge crossover event, by making everything make sense in its own world of Grymoire, the game doesn’t rely exclusively on nostalgia to hook players. Even though you’ll see Sephiroth, Squall, and other friends in your quest, even those who somehow don’t know these iconic characters can get enjoyment out of the great gameplay and light-hearted story of World of Final Fantasy.

The revamped battle system is a lot of fun and strikes a balance that is good for fans seeking a return to turn-based combat while also finding a way to appease those seeking faster action.

A remarkable blend of old-school JRPG mannerisms and innovative, mold-shattering gameplay elements that challenge what a Final Fantasy game is “supposed” to look like.

Random battles and the low difficulty level do not prevent World of Final Fantasy from being a spin-off that is really well done and enjoyable. The perfect way to wait for FFXV.

The gameplay certainly isn’t perfect, as the younger audience Tose and Square Enix are trying to reach rears its head once in awhile through the gameplay’s flow and simplicity, but World of Final Fantasy is diverse and deep enough to keep the excitement going from beginning to end.

World of Final Fantasy is a impressive work, complex and overflowing with content. Despite of a couple of sections slightly less successful than others, the game world has proved incredibly rich in surprises, beautiful to experience and explore.

World of Final Fantasy is a really entertaining and charming JRPG. It merges many of the most memorable elements from most of the games from the Final Fantasy series and combines them in an original title with accessible and easy to learn controls, easygoing story and creative gameplay mechanics. It doesn’t matter if you novice gamer or a hardcore fan, the game has many things that will engage you and make you enjoy it.

Feels like an RPG aimed at children or people that are as experienced with RPGs. At the same time, there is enough here as far as customization goes to keep the veterans busy for a nice long time as well. It took me by surprise, and I think RPG fans will really enjoy this hybrid mix of Final Fantasy and Pokémon. It has a few setbacks, but for the most part, this is a charming, fun, and fantastically paced game many can enjoy.

World of Final Fantasy is light and fun and offers tons to do. With a fun world to explore, gorgeous aesthetics, this is a nostalgic adventure built around the history of one of video games’ most iconic franchises.

With combat that’s simple but has some depth and a story that fits in the franchise’s lineage, this ramp up to next month’s Final Fantasy XV is a great way to enjoy a story you love while also sharing it with others who are experiencing it for the first time.

World of Final Fantasy may look like Pokémon but it's much more Final Fantasy at its core. It's colorful and cheerful with an interesting battle system which is more interesting than it initially appears. The story makes almost no sense but the fun characters and twists keep it compelling.

This is more Final Fantasy that you could expect. It's beautiful, deep and very classic in many aspects. A fusion between FF concepts that fans mustn't miss.
