First announced at the 2015 Electronic Entertainment Expo, World of Final Fantasy was intended as a celebratory title to commemorate the series' 30th anniversary. Available October 25, 2016 exclusively for the PlayStation Vita and PlayStation 4.
World of Final Fantasy is primarily set in the world of Grymoire, a land populated by classic Final Fantasy characters and monsters from across the series, while being unconnected to any other series entry. The storyline focuses on siblings Lann and Reynn, who suffer from amnesia and hold the power in one of their arms to capture and wield Mirages, the monsters of Grymoire. Lann and Reynn travel to Grymoire to recover their memories, gradually mastering their powers and becoming involved in the conflicts consuming the world - these include fights between rival factions within the native Lilikins, and the impending threat of the Bahamut Army.
World of Final Fantasy received widespread acclaim from critics with
praise particularly given to the visuals and gameplay. check
out below all the top critics had to say about:
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 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.

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.

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.
World of Final Fantasy is a humorous
adventure that is just too cute for words, but its combat and
exploration aren’t diverse enough to support a campaign nearly as long
as this one. However, I did enjoy it for a long time - more than 30
hours - before it wore out its welcome.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Oct 25, 2016
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.

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.
Oct 24, 2016
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 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.

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.

Tose Co. has developed a great classic
JRPG, playable in both PS4 and PS Vita, with an original battle, capture
and evolve system. Expect lots of cameos from characters from the saga,
in its "chibi" form, and revisit famous locations such as Nibelheim
(from Final Fantasy VII). Original, fun and a great way to get you ready
for Final Fantasy XV.

There is too much indecision in Chiba:
he wants to create a game for young people, but he proposes mechanics of
the past, for the nostalgic people. World of Final Fantasy, however, is
built well, with an immense work in the creation of Mirage: the battle
system works well and entertains for almost a hundred hours. An
Immensity.

World of Final Fantasy is not a
fan-service product only. It really manages to get the spirit of IP's
like Pokémon or Persona to adapt it to Final Fantasy Universe.
Furthermore, the game offers a deep fighting system and a great
evolution structure that makes it really addictive.

World of Final Fantasy is enchanting and
offers a refreshing journey into the world of this eternal saga.

World of Final Fantasy isn’t going to
break the mold, and that’s okay. It’s a game for the fans and one I
certainly think they’ll appreciate.
Oct 24, 2016
World of Final Fantasy offers a polished
and pretty adventure through a lovingly made world, and even though its
story is let down by some poor writing, the addictive process of
capturing and training monsters is enough to keep you playing. All in
all, this is a great little spin-off.

Earlier this year I said World of Final Fantasy is the fall’s most exciting Final Fantasy game. Having played the game for nearly 40 hours, I stand by that. While I still look forward the action-packed road tripping bros of Final Fantasy XV, I’m the sort of fan whose love for the franchise is firmly rooted in the turn-based days of I through X, and that’s exactly where World of Final Fantasy takes me.
Nova Crystallis
World of Final Fantasy is a great entry-level game for those curious about the series, but veterans should find a lot to enjoy here too. If you’re looking for something to tide you over until Final Fantasy XV or the next Final Fantasy XIV expansion, World of Final Fantasy is an ideal choice. If none of those matter to you, know this game stands up pretty well on its own and is enjoyable as another solid spinoff for the Final Fantasy franchise.
