![]() ![]() FANTASIAN has a similar effect and relies heavily on memories to narrate the story. To this day I still reflect on the memories of Kaim in Lost Odyssey. The use of memories to paint the picture is a powerful tool that the Mistwalker team are well versed in handling. The story in FANTASIAN is magical and endearing. But for Mistwalker and Hironobu Sakaguchi-san, it strikes repeatedly. Using touch was surprisingly easy and I played on my phone more than on the TV. The touch controls actually worked really well. In reality, that’s a very minor inconvenience and only happened a few times. Since the screen would move, I ended up backtracking or sending my party to a location I didn’t intend. I’ll admit, there were some occasions of “miss-taps” where the screen would move while I tried to tap a new spot to move. I honestly didn’t expect to enjoy FANTASIAN on my phone. It was easy to take screen captures and synced automatically with my phone so I never lost progress.įinally was on my iPhone itself. This was my preferred way to play as I still got a larger screen and the mouse felt intuitive and smooth. The second way I played was on my MacBook Pro. Shutting everything down and rebooting solved the problem but I wasn’t surprised with all the wireless components at work. The only downside I experienced when playing like this was after a few hours of non-stop gaming, FANTASIAN started to slow down and input from the controller lagged. With a few simple steps, I was playing FANTASIAN in near console-like glory. Once FANTASIAN was gorgeously displayed on the big screen, I easily paired my Xbox One controller to my phone. It didn’t require any third-party software and was easy to do directly from my iPhone 8 Plus. The first thing I tested was mirroring my phone screen to my television. ![]() ![]() Several Ways to Playīefore I get into the meat of my FANTASIAN review, I want to cover a few ways I played this classic-inspired RPG. I activated Apple Arcade and embarked on a beautiful journey. Ultimately I decided that FANTASIAN looked too good to pass up over a mental block of my own creation. Since the Nintendo Switch came out, I haven’t played a game on my phone. I love handheld but not at the expense of losing a physical controller. I have morphed as a gamer away from playing on the “mobile” platform. And the first video I ever uploaded to YouTube was gameplay of Terra Battle.Īs much as I love Mistwalker, I was saddened that FANTASIAN was billed as an Apple Arcade exclusive. I’ve surfed it up in Party Wave more times than I can count. Lost Odyssey is one the most memorable RPGs and still sits in my top ten all-time favorites. I eagerly jumped at the chance to review FANTASIAN. ![]()
