If Fantasian were to be ported to PC, not only would many more players be able to get their hands on it - I’d personally love to give it a replay on Steam Deck, if that option were available to me - but it would help ensure that the game could be properly preserved into the future, especially if released DRM free on platforms like GOG. While I personally loved the difficulty the game included, it would be nice if a re-release might include options to help smooth things over for anyone who might’ve found the original’s too off-putting.
FANTASIAN RELEASE DATE PC
There are other, less altruistic reasons I’d like the game to be ported, of course if possible, I’d like to hope that a PC version of Fantasian might make use of higher-resolution scans of the dioramas that make up much of the game’s world not to mention a higher resolution in general, and a higher framerate. Yet as it stands it’s impossible to recommend to anyone outside of Apple’s ecosystem, or who refuse to rent their games on a subscription service. How many players would love Fantasian if given the chance? It’s no coincidence that everyone on staff ended up vouching for it when it came time to crown our favorite RPGs of 2021 so much of what Fantasian brings to the table feels uncharacteristic of what players expect from mobile-only titles, and it really does feel like a game of the SNES/PS1 era of RPGs, albeit with its own modern twists. Time and again I’ve sung the game’s praises to those who would listen, and yet the answer has remained the same while Fantasian is a killer app for Apple Arcade, it deserves to be freed from its prison. It would be a tragedy if Fantasian was merely left to be forgotten on a platform that many of the same people who would love the game if given the chance to play it, will never touch. We’re fast approaching the closure of the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U eShops, and games preservation is hot on the industry’s mind if one day Apple Arcade were to close its doors for good, as of right now there would be no way for even those who had already played the game to maintain access to it. Over time, I’ve realized that Fantasian is perhaps one of the best RPGs I’ve ever played, and it's only pained me to think that one day the game might be lost to history. A few weeks back, Sakaguchi implied that a PC port of Fantasian might be a possibility and while I’d absolutely ask for ports to other platforms like the Switch as well, I can’t stress enough how much the industry needs any port to happen.
