To mark the occasion, the latter shared a very short tweet to announce that the second part is almost finished. In the columns of. however, it was louder Famitsuin which he explained :

The second part of Fantasian is almost finished. This part is twice the size of the first and exceeded our expectations. The boss monsters there are also unique and difficult. I’d like to thank the entire development team, diorama makers, and sound team, including Mr. Uematsu. You gave everything. I think it’s a great game!

The peculiarity of Mistwalker’s game lies above all in the design of its surroundings. From dioramas, a kind of presentation model created by Japanese artists, they are scanned and transformed into game environments, so that they serve as realistic backgrounds in which the characters develop.

Fantasian is available on Apple Arcade and could be the last production by Hironobu Sakaguchi, but also that of the famous Nobuo Uetmasu, who may be signing his last complete soundtrack here.
