Stepping into the weapon and item shop yields a smorgasbord of delightful little details to look at. Dozens of little items to stare at — from a massive shark skull hanging on the wall to a purple bottle with some kind of questionable mixture. A miniature world to explore that never gets boring, and each new area holds some kind of dazzling new sight.
Fantasian Neo Dimension is a dazzling classically inspired RPG with a brilliant twist — its entire world is made up of pre-rendered backgrounds that are actual hand-crafted dioramas. It’s an utterly gorgeous game that feels both nostalgic and modern, capturing the very essence of what made older Final Fantasy games so special but putting it in a shiny new package. It’s nothing short of a masterpiece and one of the best RPGs of the decade, made even better with the enhancement added in this port. If you’ve wished Final Fantasy would return to the good old days of the PS1 era, Fantasian is the game for you.
