It's a mobile game, but it still feels like a Final Fantasy. JRPG fans will enjoy the game, and it's free-to-play model isn't as aggressive as you might expect. If you've enjoyed this franchise before, it's worth a try.
Final Fantasy Brave Exvius brings the classic FF experience into a Free to Play concept without losing quality. Good music, faithful 16 bit graphics and good gameplay make it a recommendable title, but like in every free to play, we should be ready to either expend a lot of time and effort progressing or prepare the wallet to expend some money to do it faster.
There is so much to this game I do not even know where to begin. I know many people will just dismiss it as another daily grind, gacha addiction, but if you really play the game and give it a chance, it is so much more.
I am not a person that gets addicted to things. But I am addicted to this game. If you have problems with addiction, you should probably stay away. Unless you are okay with burning money and time.
I am not going to actually spoil anything but a quick overview of how the game works may help people decide if it really is more than a gacha addiction. First, as would be expected **** like this, the events are constant and require a lot of your time and attention. So much so that it makes it difficult to actually give the rest of the game the time it deserves. This is not a bad thing of course. If you want to stay current on events, it is great and fun. Every event provides awesome and useful rewards.
If you get time or decide to forego some of the event grind however, you will discover a huge world. The story starts somewhat cliche and rigid admittedly however it develops very well. The huge character lineup and the different kingdoms' conflicts makes for a very intriguing and enjoyable experience. Rain, the main character, has actually managed to climb into my favorite characters list. The supporting cast is also very enjoyable.
At its core however, the game is really a turn based strategy and character building game. It is very fun to collect equipment and abilities and characters... then mixing and matching what you have to complete trials and challenging fights. Of which there are many. The story fights will typically be easy, the event fights range from very easy to moderately difficult. But the trials, which is where you get the best rewards aside from trust masteries, is where your skills with building your characters and strategies will really come into play.
I honestly cannot praise the extended game enough. If you get beyond the gacha and the event grind mechanic, there is so much to the game that it is both extremely fun and somewhat difficult to keep up with.
That is my review, go play it. Give it a real chance and do not pass it off as another mobile gacha addiction. But control that addiction when you play because it will be very real.
It combines the nostalgia of Record Keeper with a typical storyline and free-to-play features that makes it irresistible despite a lack je-ne-sais-quoi/oomph.
It's worth a shot if you're a fan of Square's classic RPG series, but in trying to stretch out to two different camps, I fear it may not entirely please either.
Square tried to give us a modern game heavily inspired by classic Final Fantasy titles, but lost its orientation somewhere on the way. The only advantage of Brave Exvius is the wonderful music during battles. [11/2016, p. 75]
Um grande jogo muito divertido com gráficos muito bonitos opção de enfrentar outros players em arena,modo história onde você conta com a ajuda de algum amigo (ou não caso não queira) e demais eventos também,você pode adquirir personagens clássicos de todas as sagas Final Fantasy e alguns personagens convidados como por exemplo(Nier: Automata B2 e A2 e Tomb Raider Lara Croft),um jogo viciante.
While not perfect, I can say it's quite surprising how resourceful this game is when it comes to units, how evolve them and how good they can become all of a sudden.
Yet... drop rates are laughable on further steps which, ironically, should be backwards.
Anyways... it's enjoyable the least.
The Best gacha game that I've played!.
Graphics: 6/10. Art/Design/: 7/10. Music/Soundtrack: 9/10. Gameplay: 10/10. Story: 10/10 Interface: 8/10 World: 7/10;
Cutscenes: 10/10.
The problem is that this game was not made for the screen of many cell phones, and pixelart could have been much better, just like the Grand Summoners.
What can I say about Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, it's a Gatcha scam and it's a very solid and in depth JRPG, it's just a crying shame that those two elements exist within the same game.
Brave Exvius will lure players in via the story and keep them playing by drip feeding them a cast of increasingly powerful new characters, stuff to grind for and bosses to kill. But it all comes to a head during the endgame. If you want to make any headway against anything that's not in the main story, be prepared to spend. With rates for good characters as low as 2% prices being incredibly expensive compared to alternative gatcha games and a constant slew of new opponents that require the newest and best characters, you'll never manage to keep up without dropping serious cash into the game. This system of constantly invalidating your investments makes Brave Exvius a dangerous trap to fall into, particularly if you have issues with addiction. One month you can spend hundreds to pull the newest flavour of the month amazing character only to have them be outclassed a month or two later.
If you want a good turn based JRPG just pick up a $60 title, this game is designed from the ground up to get you addicted so you'll spend spend spend.
