“We approached this game as though it was going to be on a console platform, and we really didn’t have it in our mind that we’re making this to cater to mobile,” he said. Intriguingly, Sakaguchi did inspire a bit of hope when he explains that Fantasian was designed to work on consoles. Sakaguchi tells Inverse that he has no plans to bring Fantasian to more platforms at this time: “We’re working really hard to finish Part Two of Fantasian right now, so what’s going to happen after that, including any potential ports, we really haven’t thought about.” Will Fantasian Part 2 come to consoles?Ĭurrently, Fantasian is an Apple Arcade exclusive.

“At about the midpoint, there’s a dramatic shift in the way the game is experienced and played.” It’s also conveniently fitting for a mobile-based RPG to be split into two more digestible chunks. The decision to split Fantasianinto two parts is somewhat confusing, but Sakaguchi explains his reasoning well: “This goes back to one of the inspirations of the game, Final Fantasy 6, which had a very similar structure ,” Sakaguchi said. “The app's future updates will give you access to the second half of the game, so please do not delete your save data after you complete Part One. “We are working on Part Two of the game as we speak,” a tweet says.
