About the Game

With the memory of their struggle buried deep in their hearts...

Fight your way through fierce battles with a variety of means to defeat your enemies. With multiple difficulty options and a wide selection of jobs and weapons available to customize your party, you can choose exactly how you want to play.

Will restoring the crystals' light usher in peace or a new form of darkness? ...Or perhaps something else entirely?

This game features memorable locales from other entries in the FINAL FANTASY series.

Pravoka Seagrot recalls Sastasha of FINAL FANTASY XIV. Beyond the cave's mystical landscape of vividly colored coral lies the pirates' hideout where their ship is anchored.

Hallowed Massif recalls Mt. Gagazet of FINAL FANTASY X. Fierce blizzards and avalanches impede the progress of travelers, while graven figures sleep within the mountain.

Other areas and battle music also draw inspiration from the main titles in the series, providing FINAL FANTASY fans with plenty of familiar tidbits to stoke nostalgia and make the game even more enjoyable.
