Between the appearance of characters originating from Final Fantasy I all the way through Final Fantasy XIII, the inclusion of famous lines of text (like “spoony bard”), and remixed music from the series, World of Final Fantasy lays the nostalgia on thick. It was noted in the review-in-progress, but it bears repeating: nostalgia is the name of the game here. World of Final Fantasy (PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita) It’s well worth playing, but not for the story. From a narrative perspective, it’s overwrought and melodramatic, full of genre clichés and cringeworthy dialogue. Mechanically, it hits the right level of complexity where formulating long-term strategies is satisfying but executing a single battle is tactically simple. Despite that it isn’t part of the main series and its central mechanic is monster collecting, it feels very much like a core entry. Final Fantasy XV is out soon, but all of my attention has been on this year’s Final Fantasy little brother, World of Final Fantasy.
