The Final Fantasy franchise, a cornerstone of the RPG genre, needs little introduction. From its inception on the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1987 to its expansive presence across multiple platforms, including a highly successful MMORPG, Final Fantasy has cemented its status as Square Enix's flagship series. Now, fans can dive into the iconic first game with Final Fantasy+, available for free on Apple Arcade.
Final Fantasy+ revisits the original game's narrative where you embody the Four Warriors of Light on a quest to restore the Elemental Crystals and save the world. This mobile adaptation enhances the classic experience with a visually revamped interface and redesigned controls optimized for touchscreen devices, offering a fresh yet familiar journey.
Given the enduring popularity of the Final Fantasy series, Final Fantasy+ is poised to be a significant addition to the Apple Arcade library. While it's a remaster, sparking debates about its merits compared to the original is inevitable. However, considering the multitude of Final Fantasy versions available, this mobile adaptation is likely to be appreciated for standing on its own merits.
Interestingly, the excitement doesn't stop with Final Fantasy+. The acclaimed MMORPG, Final Fantasy XIV, is also set to make its way to mobile platforms. This development promises to bring another stunning chapter of the series to a broader audience, continuing the franchise's legacy of innovation and engagement.
