In Fantasian, players take on the role of Leo, an amnesiac protagonist journeying through the world to recover his memory and battle a strange mechanical infection known as “mechteria” that’s slowly destroying the world. The game riffs on classic turn-based combat, mixing modern sensibilities with the classic gameplay of 1990s RPGs for which Sakaguchi is known. Fantasian also sports music from Nobuo Uematsu, another alumnus of the best FF games.
One of the things that stands out about Fantasian is its look–the world is made up of a series of real-life dioramas, while the characters are hand-animated to fit in with the style. There are more than 150 dioramas within the game, giving it a unique feel as you explore its multi-dimensional universe.
