I’m for simplistic mobile strategy games like Fire Emblem Heroes, but knowing that levels will have a bit of variety in mission makes me confident tha t War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius will do a good job at keeping things fresh for its players. One example given to me was a scenario where players will have to activate switches in order to progress through a level and clear it out. The stage I saw in action simply had two factions fighting, though there will be levels with gimmicks in the final game. War of the Visions is 3D, and looks pretty decent for a mobile game at that, but it retains the strategic decision making and elevation elements make tactics games what they are. Having seen the game in action for myself, it is definitely a valid comparison. Story heavy mobile games from major publishers tend to be rarity nowadays, but Hirono-san made it very clear that this story of war and the various themes that come with that will be a focal point of War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius.Įven though War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius is completely disconnected from the Final Fantasy Tactics series when it comes to its story, Hirono-san said it was the easiest comparison to draw when thinking about the gameplay. I was able to see the game in action and learn more about it behind closed doors at E3 2019, and War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius has definitely cemented itself as my most anticipated mobile game for the foreseeable future.Īs the title suggests, War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius takes place during a hard fought war on the continent Ardora as five factions are fighting: Leonis, Hourne, Fennes, Wezette, and Crystal Sanctum. While Final Fantasy Tactics fans may be disappointed that its successor is a mobile game, War of the Visions seems like it will be an engaging title with the same level of quality and polish applied to it as Final Fantasy Brave Exvius. War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exviusdoes something similar with the long-ignored Final Fantasy Tactics, a series that fans have been clamoring for a return of. As the Final Fantasy series has gone big and bombastic, it is nice to sometimes relax and play a game that seems more in tune with the series roots, even if it’s a mobile game. Yes, it has some of the monetization models that frustrate people about mobile games, but it is also a fun turn-based strategy game that pays homage to earlier Final Fantasy games in both gameplay and style. That being said, Final Fantasy Brave Exvius is one title that managed to stand out as something higher quality than many of its peers. Mobile games are typically looked down upon by hardcore gamers, and even Square Enix has had flubs in the past like Final Fantasy: All the Bravest.
