World of Final Fantasy Reviews
A bright art style and nostalgia pave the way for Square Enix's latest return to traditional RPGs - with a twist!
World of Final Fantasy is a great game. I love every minute of walking through its dungeons, looking for a chest that I think will hold a cool weapon or rare item but only has a potion. It hearkens back to what myself and many others consider a "Golden Age" in the genre.
For those who haven't yet had the chance to play it, the PC port of World of Final Fantasy might be the perfect occasion to dive in the world of Grymoire. However we must also warn you about the lack of some graphical settings, the absence of 4K Widescreen resolutions and the fixed 30 FPS, even with higher resolutions; if all of this doesn't represent a problem then you can test yourself with this adventure without worries.

A great introduction to newcomers and a nostalgic trip for veterans, World of Final Fantasy is a beautiful game, whose hilarious characters and deep story more than make up for short and sometimes sloppy world design.
World of Final Fantasy took me by complete surprise. It’s a warming combination mix of Final Fantasy and Pokemon laced with enough Nostalgia to bring a tear to the eye. It’s not very often you see a franchise look backwards to move forward but World of Final Fantasy is a credit to the effort and passion put into the franchise in the last 20 years.
World of Final Fantasy is a solid, enjoyable and nostalgic trip through the history of the franchise. It's cheesy, cheery and a lot of fun to play. The solid combat system and enjoyable humor carry the game through some noticeable bumps in the road. A few half-baked mechanics and a somewhat unnecessary turn toward the serious dull some of the game's shine, but the issues aren't enough to take away from the enjoyment. Fans of the franchise should find a lot to like in this well-made JRPG.
World of Final Fantasy may not look like a modern open-world action RPG. But instead, it brings colorful environments, an enjoyable story, great combat mechanics and, most importantly, nostalgia at its best. This Square Enix game was made for the Final Fantasy fan who loves the series and its iconic characters. It may not have the best narrative and dialogue, but it will give players tons of entertainment on many different levels.

World of Final Fantasy is an absolute joy if you’re a fan of the series or a fan of monster-catching titles, but only just scratches that itch that we’ve all been anticipating for Final Fantasy XV.
World of Final Fantasy is a very good game. Sure the voice acting is horrible and the main characters are plain but overall it’s actually a good game.
Square Enix comes back with World of Final Fantasy, a brand new RPG adventure that features some very fresh gameplay mechanics that are new in the saga. A game worth the try and very enjoyable.

This nostalgia-fueled collectathon is a pleasant, if juvenile, tour of Final Fantasy's greatest hits.
Other puzzles involve you weighing your mirages and their resistance to a certain element, or are tied to the dungeon’s interior, such as using the glaciers in a snowy mountain terrain to skate through a room with an ice floor. Each area in the over thirty-hour narrative is colourful and dungeons are well-structured. World design also continues the game’s nostalgic theme by basing some of its towns on iconic locations from mainline games, albeit renaming them but keeping a majority of their details.
One of the first things I noticed about World of Final Fantasy is it exudes copious amounts of cuteness. From the adorable chibi versions of monsters which have been staples of Final Fantasy games for decades to the main two characters in the story everything is just adorable and sweet. Of course, since it’s also a Final Fantasy game it’s also filled with danger and a bad guy trying to do bad things, but also being adorable while doing it. This is our World of Final Fantasy Review.
A fun and even sometimes addictive game at the start, but gets repetitive later on. The visual style is adorable, almost to the point of annoyance but the story balances light moments with some emotional touches. This game is something that long time fans of the franchise will want to give a second look.
World of Final Fantasy is a fun spin-off RPG for both newcomers to and veterans of the series, but the story doesn’t feel as strong or memorable as those of the numbered entries.
World of Final Fantasy is a love-letter to the entire Final Fantasy franchise and its diehard fans. This is pure uncut Final Fantasy directly injected into your veins. Newcomers to the franchise will find an accessible battle system to work with but a completely convoluted and, frankly, bad story to deal with. The soundtrack is worth sticking around for, though.
World of Final Fantasy certainly did not scratch any itches for me, but I can't truly lambast it for what it is. I mean look at those faces! In terms of its gameplay and story, while repetitive and not entirely engrossing, there is charm and care put into this world that truer fans than I can appreciate. There's a good game here, but it certainly isn't for everyone.
Genre fans will definitely have a fun time checking this out.
World of Final Fantasy is a charming turn-based RPG filled with familiar characters, settings, and music to make any fan of the series happy. While it's adorable setting, interesting story, and new combat mechanics provide hours of fun, it eventually becomes tediously repetitive and the fights become monotonous. Even creating and customizing stacks loses its luster when you start resorting to familiar "tried and tested" combinations. The game could have definitely benefited from a much shorter campaign.

If you can handle the game's slow pacing, World of Final Fantasy provides a good experiment to the classic formula. Given that Tose handles so many of Square Enix's ports, it's nice to see them be thrown a bone with an original title. I'd suggest this one while waiting for the eventual release of Final Fantasy XV.
