Pictures of the first four classes, Ifrit, and the homebase.

There's a bunch of screenshots and artworks, also found on 4Gamer.net :

More pics, but nothing really new:

Reminder: it's an action-RPG for the 3DS, a take on the monster hunting genre with Jobs from the FF series.

Pellegri Testament · Jun 16, 2014

Looks interesting from what little I've seen of it so far, and hey it's on something that isn't phones for once so it may actually be worth looking into. Now the question is will it actually come out here?

Qurupeke · Jun 16, 2014

Looks okay. I just hope it's half as good as Monster Hunter.

Ken · Jun 16, 2014

Sure I'll buy it.

ShockingAlberto · Jun 16, 2014

Wonder if they'll bother to bring this over.

Seems like it would at least sell modestly for the genre.

Nilaul · Jun 16, 2014

They should had released a trailer. The Screenshots aint very revealing.

Earthpainting · Jun 16, 2014

Looks cute and like something I could enjoy. The only thing that makes me a bit hesitant is that it's a Square Enix action game. Not really something they have the best history in, in my experience. I'll keep it on my radar either way.

kurahador · Jun 16, 2014

This is basically Crystal Chronicles isn't it? Eh...I'll buy it.

catmario · Jun 16, 2014

Only If this release at shorter time after JP version released...

Niwa · Jun 16, 2014

I can't figure out Thema platform on my phone, please add it to the OT.

JordanN · Jun 16, 2014

Squenix on my 3DS...

Another mon hun clone?

Hype deflated.

Oregano · Jun 16, 2014

Any mention of character designer? Looks very close to Itahana's style and the white mage is basically Shirma/Shiroma.

Anyway day 1 if/when it releases here.

Reveirg · Jun 16, 2014

Looking forward to seeing more. A Final Fantasy spin-off on 3DS is pretty much an automatic buy for me. I do hope it has a robust single player campaign though.

Do we know who's the composer yet?

It's heavily combat focused, so it's probably more of a heavy PvE action RPG than FFCC's focus on adventuring and puzzles. FF Monster Hunter seems apt.

L~A · Jun 16, 2014

Oops, totally forgot to mention the platform in the title + OP. Thanks to the mod who fixed that (I presume it was you, Duckroll)!

Still going to call it Crystal Chronicles tho. I want another CC

rockx4 · Jun 16, 2014

Wow that looks good, I want it.

Aeana · Jun 16, 2014

Just going by the descriptions, it seems more RPGish than MH, which piques my interest.

ss-hikaru · Jun 16, 2014

Wow it looks adorable, I hope there are heaps more classes/jobs to come though.

Can't interest my lil bro in MonHan at all, but I think this might be more his thing!

Velcro Fly · Jun 16, 2014

Will keep an eye on this. I'm a sucker for FF, so if this releases outside of Japan I'll probably check it out.

AcademicSaucer · Jun 16, 2014

if the combat is good , i will be interested in the fan translation on 2020

Gloam · Jun 16, 2014

Character renders are nice. Colour me interested.

Werewolf Jones · Jun 16, 2014

At first I was like "Eh, looks too much like FF III." but a Final Fantasy take on Monster Hunter playing as a Monk? Now this will be interesting to see.

Francokid1 · Jun 16, 2014

This is a day 1 buy for me. Always got a 3ds rpg craving.

Seda · Jun 16, 2014

Not really a Monster Hunter fan, but I like the artstyle/music sample. Curious to see more.

Death Penalty · Jun 16, 2014

Action RPG? Summons confirmed? Hm, I wrote this off when it was announced but they may just have a sale. Cautiously interested, will wait to see more.

What about it looks like FF3?

Zeyphersan · Jun 16, 2014

Color me interested

Vermillion · Jun 16, 2014

Aeana said:

The artstyle, probably. But that's been used for many other games outside of FFIII DS.

At any rate, it looks like it could be fun!

Zevenberge · Jun 16, 2014

It looks like Crystal Chronicles, which is good. I have been yarning for a sequel ever since Echoes of Time (and no, Crystal Bearers doesn't count, even though it is a decent game).

Reveirg · Jun 16, 2014

Music sample doesn't sound anything like the usual suspects (Mizuta, Uematsu, Tanioka, Hamauzu, Suzuki, etc.)

Maybe Takeharu Ishimoto? Kinda sounds a bit like some of Type-0's themes. Or it could be Sekito.

GhostTrick · Jun 16, 2014

So... what are the odds for a US/European release ?

CO_Andy · Jun 16, 2014

Art style is so bland compared to Crystal Chronicles

HawthorneKitty · Jun 16, 2014

I'll play it if it comes over.

cafemomo · Jun 16, 2014

I love that logo

DXB-KNIGHT · Jun 16, 2014

Having the Final Fantasy name means it has a greater chance to come to the West.

Zeyphersan · Jun 16, 2014

A Final Fantasy spin-off modeled like a Monster Hunter game? I'd give it 50%. It being on the 3DS helps

Yakkue · Jun 16, 2014

So, up to 4 player multiplayer sounds interesting, but I'm glad they specified that the single player experience is also a focus. Definitely interested in buying it! I wonder what other jobs are going to be available.

Prototype · Jun 16, 2014

Reminder: it's an action-RPG for the 3DS, a take on the monster hunting genre with Jobs from the FF series.

If this is as good as it sounds ( mh meets ff) this will be amazing.

Muzy72 · Jun 16, 2014

Is this the 3DS's first Final Fantasy game? Aside from Theatrhythm of course.

Yes.

Unfortunately, yes. It didn't even get a Tactics game or anything (which is odd, what with Fire Emblem Awakening's success).

botty · Jun 16, 2014

sigh. looks nice, i guess.

Lulubop · Jun 16, 2014

Sounds like something I'd buy.

Synless · Jun 16, 2014

Is there online co-op?

Aeana · Jun 16, 2014

Synless said:

The specs say that it supports wifi, which is used to indicate online stuff on 3/DS games. But it could be for anything.

L~A · Jun 16, 2014

Yeah, that could simply mean downloadable items via SpotPass, unfortunately. Really hope there's online co-op though, could make a nice addition to the game, especially if SE is planning a Western release at some point.

javac · Jun 16, 2014

This is the first time that I'm hearing of this :0

zeromcd73 · Jun 16, 2014

This looks great. Most likely day 1.
