Also no.Is this the best Final Fantasy (or loosely based upon the series) game? No. Is this a game with unquestionably great style choices? Also no. But is it a game for everyone? Again no, although sort of.
   I really enjoyed this game and could not turn it off. That is the reason for my 10 point rating.
   What is so great about the game? A simple but effective battle and party system. Comparing it to Pokemon is the obvious way to go, though it is very different. Throughout the game you catch characters and creatures from the series in a world that is loosely based upon other FF games. You stack these creatures with your main characters connecting their stats and abilities. Sounds simple but it gets conveniently complex.
   Style-wise some odd choices were made: mixing cute and somewhat realistic (anime) designs and altering cutscenes between in-game graphic and actual anime. That is one of the off-putting points.
   Also I doubt that non-FF fans will really enjoy the hints and allusions to the main series games. It might just be confusing to them.
   
   I enjoyed the game and wouldn't recommend to anybody who doesn't like RPGs to begin with. But if you like JRPGs and are not expecting too much in storytelling you should try swiping this game on discount if you can. It really could be worth your while and money.… Expand

From the demo it seems like a childish and overly simplified system, bordering on boring. After purchasing, I find this holds true for the first 1-3 (of the 21) chapters of the game. Then it suddenly picks up and you realize the complexities of building the right stacks. Really awesome game at 27 hours in, as of writing.… Expand

At first I had some troubles with the chibi style, but I must say it grows on you. The gameplay is fun and addictive, with familiar tunes and characters. I'd say it's a mix of Ni no Kuni and Pokémon - all in Final Fantasy flavor. Maybe not for everyone, but most will be pleasantly surprised. This game is awesome!… Expand

Finally giving long time fans turn-based combat once more, and with a neat new pokemon-like system of collecting and combining monsters or in this case "mirages". But World of Final Fantasy's greatest strength lies in its feelings of nostalgia. Chibi style or no i found myself smiling with delight every time i saw i character or creature i've enjoyed in the series make its cute debut in the game. However, for all of its strengths its the downsides that end up becoming more of a factor as you progress further and further into the campaign. Collecting and stacking mirages is quite fun, at first. But with well over a hundred and only being able to change them out at save points or the main hub it gets to be a pain of trying to make sure the ones you rely on are properly leveled and the ones you ones you may need also get added time. You can find yourself suddenly facing an enemy and having to go into your collection for one particular creature you've never used and know need to spend time leveling just it up all so you can unlock one particular ability it has that you need to win. I love strategy, but here you must plan and prepare for anything and that's a little hard to do with such a variety of creatures. This gets even more of a pain when in areas of the game there are puzzle switches which require the right combination of mirages to open or treasure areas you cant reach unless you have a mirage with you that has the ability that area requires you to cross. This means anytime you come to one of this points on each map you must hike it all the way back to the start to access your collection and then go all the way back keeping in mind to still try to keep the ones you need in combat. this isn't too bad at first but with longer more enemy ridden areas later in the game it gets extremely frustrating. As for the areas its "rinse and repeat" at its most boring. With 20 chapters in the games main campaign each one begins with discovering a new hallway like area and a classic final fantasy character to go with it. you run down the hallway setup collecting along the way until you reach the random boss at the end then repeat on the next chapter and so on. The story itself is rather bland and if there something more to it its hard to find due the forced corny nonsense jokes the game tries to make literally every dialogue encounter. there is usually one or two lines to push the story along followed by 6 or 8 lines where your main characters take something the other said and somehow force a joke out of it even if it doesn't make a shred of sense. To me, its not the cute aspect that makes this game for children. its the dialogue. not to mention your companion through this game, a cute white fox-like creature named Tama constantly talks to your party but uses the word "the-" in random places that comes off less cute and more annoying because it distracts for any substance she might be talking about. Example: instead of saying "OW! that really hurt me!" Tama will say "The-OW! that really hurt the-me!" See how awkward that is to read? its even harder to hear and focus on the lines and she says it every time she speaks. This game can be a lot of fun at the beginning but i find it becomes more of an annoying bore the more i play it. If you want classic final fantasy this just isn't that unfortunately. Classic characters and turn-based combat are as far as it goes… Expand
