Relation to the Rest of the Series
What Final Fantasy Explorers lacks in story, it makes up for it in spades with its callbacks to previous popular Final Fantasy titles. Throughout the game, you’ll be fighting classic summons such as Ifrit, Ramuh, and Bahamut. As mentioned already, you’ll be able to use the classic jobs and many of their familiar abilities.
However, what will probably appeal most to Final Fantasy fans is the ability to go into a “Trance” mode and draw on the power of past Final Fantasy heroes and summons. You’ll gain a big boost in stats and be able to go to town on poor unsuspecting enemies using classic abilities and skills.
So while Final Fantasy Explorers isn’t that traditional JRPG game that longtime fans have come to expect, if you want a MMO-light experience, with a ton of familiar elements right in your pocket, you’ll probably like Final Fantasy Explorers especially if you have some friends to play it with.
