Sakaguchi has previously spoken about bringing the Apple Arcade-exclusive RPG Fantasian to more platforms. Back in February, the Final Fantasy creator spoke about getting many requests from players to bring the game to PC, and how the team was working as hard as possible to meet these expectations.

Originally released in 2021 on Apple Arcade, Fantasian is an attempt to return to the traditional turn-based battles and general tone of the early Final Fantasy games. The title also features music by renown Final Fantasy composer Nobuo Uematsu. Leading up to Fantasian‘s release, Sakaguchi had hinted that the game might be one of his final projects.

Speaking at a Q&A session at the Magic 2023 festival in Monaco, according to IGN Japan, Sakaguchi responds to a question about whether Fantasian is still exclusive to Apple Arcade, and whether it would be possible to bring the game on to PC.

“We have received many requests to release the game on PC too, and there have also been requests for a sequel,” Sakaguchi said, “so we would like to continue working as hard as possible to meet their expectations.”

Fantasian was released on Apple Arcade back in 2021, and focuses on a return to the traditional turn-based battles of the early Final Fantasy games. It even features music by Final Fantasy composer Nobuo Uematsu. Fantasian was released in two parts over the span of four months in 2021.

Leading up to Fantasian‘s release, Sakaguchi also hinted that it might be one of his final major projects.

The first part of Fantasian, the latest RPG from Mistwalker and Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi, is now available on Apple Arcade. It’s playable on Mac, iOS and tvOS with the part offering 20 to 30 hours of gameplay. The second part is out later this year and adds another 20 to 30 hours. English and Japanese voice options are both available.

Set in a multi-dimensional universe, Fantasian focuses on Leo, who awakens in a mysterious land with only a single memory. A strange “mechanical” infection is taking over the world and along with learning more about it, the player will also set about to recover Leo’s memories. In the backdrop, gods are scheming and the balance of Chaos and Order is at stake.

The main calling card of Fantasian is its hand-crafted environments which utilize over 150 real-life dioramas. The battle system is also unique, letting players send previous foes into a separate dimension, while the soundtrack is composed by the legendary Nobuo Uematsu. Considering this may be Sakaguchi’s final project, it should be interesting to see how Fantasian pans out. Stay tuned for more details in the meantime.

At the beginning of the month, we got a some new information about the new RPG from Mistwalker coming to iOS, Fantasian. It will headed up by legendary Creator Hironobu Sakaguchi, who is one of the primary Creators of the Final Fantasy series. The game certainly looks interesting and as a nice throwback to the past of the JRPG genre, but it’s also looking like it could very well be Sakaguchi’s last as well.

The 58 year old veteran spoke to VGC, and there he revealed he was looking at the RPG as potentially his last game. While he didn’t definitely say it would be the end, he said that as he and his team developed Fantasian, it’s been in the back of his mind the entire time. Specifically, he stated, “I think it is certainly possible that this could be my last project, and that was kind of in the back of my mind as we were developing it.” He states that either way, he’ll most likely take a long vacation after they finish up the game, and that he isn’t putting a lot of thought into the future for Mistwalker, the studio developing the title and the one that Sakaguchi founded after leaving Square Enix.

Fantasian will release for Apple Arcade, making it playable on all compatible iOS, MacOS and tvOS devices. As of now, there is no release date for the project.

Mistwalker, helmed by Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi, has revealed the first details and trailers for its upcoming RPG. It’s called Fantasian and releases later this year for Apple Arcade on Mac, iOS and tvOS. The diorama aesthetic stood out at first but there’s a lot more going beyond that.

The story takes place in a multi-dimensional universe with machines ruling all. It follows Leo, who’s on a journey to regain his memories, along with exploring this strange realm. Sakaguchi is responsible for writing the story while legendary composer Nobuo Uematsu provides the soundtrack.

Along with over 150 dioramas to explore, there’s the new “Dimengeon Battle” system. This allows for any enemies encountered beforehand to be sent to an alternate dimension, allowing one to “maximize” their exploration of the surroundings. Players will collect different memories, journal entries and so on, which each “Memory” having its own artwork and music. Stay tuned for more details on Fantasian in the coming months.
