This sounds like it could be amazing.

If it's on 3DS I highly doubt it. I don't think any online game on the system has a paywall.
What? No, this is not an MMO

Might as well quote my post in the other thread here as well:
Some of the info is a bit outdated now, since there is much clearer information.
Oh and from the Twitter account we also know that Tsuyoshi Sekito is the game's composer.
Here's Atsushi Hashimoto's MobyGames page:

He's worked on some notable games, but seemingly this is his directorial debut?

hmmm....
on a side note this reminds me of a recent ios game that came out
Battleheart Legacy
which is a top down diabloish style game, but also had multiple jobs where you can mix match skills.
Hope flexible job systems get integrated into more action style games more often.

I want this even more than I did yesterday. Please localize this more America, Squeenix. I'm begging you!
I'm not sure if all those credits belong to the same person, and if any of those people are even this guy. Keep in mind that Japanese names can have the same reading for different characters, and English sites generally don't handle different people with the same name written in English well.
Yeah I think it would be the first game to have a paid multiplayer mode on 3DS if this was the case.
I see. I initially thought this was an exclusively multiplayer game. I have probably been confused with another recently announced game...
Thanks for your answers
If the combat is simple in mechanics, muy bueno.
Love me some job classes. Incidentally, those illustrations of the classes still remind me exactly of Ragnarok Online's sprites.

That's what's going on in the console versions of FF14. I'm expecting something actionny but with cool-down times for individual actions or straight up ATB gauge.
suddenly i'm hyped. day one buy japanese version
The title strikes me as a little odd, given that for the most part, I don't *really* associate the Monster Hunter franchise with 'exploration'. Dunno if it's there as Just A Title or if they're going to add more exploratory elements to the game.
Also, the acronym is FFE. That makes me nervous, even now.

But you're also the one associating the game with Monster Hunter, SE isn't. So if it's odd to you, maybe you should change your association!!

This seems like a pretty cool idea, I hope SE has the sense to bring it over. Though, we're getting curtain call, so I have high hopes.

Sounds bretty gud. Still salty this isn't a Crystal Chronicles game, though. It sounds like the gameplay would fit in nicely with what the CC series already established.

So I guess more movement freedom, more similar to an action RPG game. Sounds good to me.
Do we know who are making this? Matrix?
Whatever you are imagining atm will probably end up looking pretty close to, Dragoon class kinda always look the same.
Yeah, I miss my Lilty bros D:
Okay, more credits have popped up for the game. Along with details on the director.
Director: Atsushi Hashimoto (Lead Planner on SaGa 2 DS, planner on Kid Icarus Uprising)
Logo/Key Art Design: Yoshitaka Amano
Character Supervisor: Toshiyuki Itahana
Design Supervisor: Gen Kobayashi
Composer: Tsuyoshi Sekito
Project Manager: Takahiro Abe
Producer: Hiroyuki Miura
Quite a number of the staff seem to have been involved with the DS SaGa remakes: Miura, Abe, Kobayashi, Hashimoto.

...so there *will* be more exploration elements?
Well that's unknown. I just thought your objection was strange.
We don't really know, other than the entire game is set on a single island which you can explore. But that in itself doesn't mean much, since MH is technically like that too, just boring as hell to "explore".
White Mage totally looks like Yukari from Persona 3.
And the knight on the left like Aegis from the same game.

I don't think this is the game you're looking for.
This sounds like it's going to be based around boss battles. If it's an actiony version of FFXIV's primal battles, that sounds awesome.
My objection was simply that the title was Explorers and what I'd seen of the game didn't really suggest that; I'd associate that term with something a bit more themed around discovery rather than combat.
The Monster Hunter association was probably a misjudgement, but it's still being pitched from the point of view of the fighting as best as I can determine.
As I mentioned, though, it might be Just A Name, it just seemed like a slightly odd name to pick for that.
Oh, it probably *is*, I was just curious about the name choice.
3DS, got announced last week, but got lost in the E3 hype
Ok good didn't wanna get hyped and it turned out to be mobile.
I don't think it sounds like that at all, especially not with the way you can recruit monsters after you defeat them.

Hail, peons, for I have come as ambassador from the great and bountiful Blueberry Butt Explosion
Might just be the greatest game ever created if it's actually that.
Well, I'm sure the monsters you can recruit are the smaller ones or something. Could be a mix of both, like MH.
MH has scrub enemies too. Let's not get our hopes up.

Probably because the last CC game sold like hot dog doo. Forever scared S-E away from the series.
*sigh* I don't know why I even still follow this company...

This is the type of game I've been waiting for since I was a kid. FFCC and XI are two of favorites in the franchise because I could play with my friends and I loved the gameplay. I need this game to come out sooner.
