There’s a lot to talk about, so read on and we’ll tell you what to expect from the game.
What is FANTASIAN Neo Dimension about?
The story begins when the protagonist Leo wakes up from a massive explosion, only to find himself lost in a strange land. What’s more, his memory has almost entirely gone too - just a single recollection remains.
With only this to guide him, he sets off on a journey to reclaim his lost past and discover the secrets behind a mysterious mechanical infection that threatens to engulf all known to man.
Fortunately, he doesn’t have to do it alone. As he pursues the truth, he’ll gain a party of eclectic allies, from the magically-minded Kina to the resolute Zinikr and many more beyond.
Together they’ll explore the world through beautiful environments, created from more than 150 hand-crafted dioramas, each one full of secrets to uncover and foes to battle.
Speaking of which…
How does combat work?
Battles in FANTASIAN Neo Dimension are turn-based, and your heroes will take an action each time you give a command. If you’ve played a classic FINAL FANTASY or DRAGON QUEST game, you’ll be comfortable with the basics, but there’s a unique twist here: trajectories.
Each skill and attack comes with varying trajectories, including straight lines, curved lines or area of affect. By paying attention to turn order, position on the battlefield and the skills you have available, you can take out whole groups of enemies in a single attack.
Yes, it’s as satisfying as it sounds.
Each character has different specializations and a lot of potential for customization - later in the game you can guide their progression through the Growth Map, allowing you to build their strengths to your style.
Another awesome feature is the Dimengeon System. Rather than taking on each random encounter as it comes, you can instead store previously encountered foes in a Dimengeon Machine and fight them later at a time that’s convenient for you. You’ll have to keep in mind how many enemies you store away though, because if the Dimengeon Machine gets full, you’ll need to fight all of the stored enemies at once!
The more enemies you have stored, the bigger the battle will be, but special bonuses called Dimengeon Gimmicks and clever use of Skill Trajectories mean you can take out swathes of your opposition all at once.
Yes, it’s even more satisfying.
FANTASIAN Neo Dimension boasts some new features that make it an even better experience than its original release. These include:
English and Japanese voiceovers - All cutscenes and key story events are now fully voiced with a talented cast of actors. They bring the game to life and make the story hit even harder!
4K visuals - the PS5, Xbox Series X and Steam versions of the game will offer support for 4K displays! It was already a beautiful game, and the crisp visuals let that artistic excellence stand out even more.
New difficulty level - The original FANTASIAN release won many fans, but some feedback was that the challenge was set a little higher than some would like. FANTASIAN Neo Dimension adds a new ‘Normal’ difficulty, which makes the game more approachable. Of course, if you want the original experience, it’s still there too.
Collaboration BGM - This awesome feature lets you swap out the game’s battle music for tracks from the FINAL FANTASY pixel remaster series, FINAL FANTASY XIV: Endwalker, FINAL FANTASY XIV: Dawntrail, FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE and REBIRTH, and FINAL FANTASY XVI!
